CitySearch Tips

Know Before You Go

The Wiener's Circle has no restrooms--and thus no place to wash your hands--so grab a lot of napkins.

Parking

Customers can park for free in the restaurant's lot, which fits about 10 cars.

FourSquare Tips

  • Explore Chicago
    Ketchup is never found on a Chicago-style dog. As Clint Eastwood?s character in the movie Sudden Impact put it, "Nobody - I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog!"
  • Explore Chicago
    Late nights on weekends, you?ll find the staff at Weiner?s Circle serving up some of their signature, borderline offensive but good-humored ribbing alongside their equally famous Chicago-style dogs.
  • Cheapism
    This fast-food spot specializes in Chicago-style hot dogs and the best cheese fries in town. After a night of drinking, the banter is the perfect backdrop while you eat a dog.
  • Joe M.
    Go to Wiener Circle and grab a Char-Dog. Make sure to swear like a Champ if it's after midnight ;-)
  • Meg M.
    get the chocolate milkshake... $20... you will never other it
  • Ronak M.
    After a heavy night, go to the wiener's circle and get the chocolate shake. it's $20, but worth every penny!
  • Jen H.
    Such a fun place that you have to try if you are in Lincoln Park and looking for some late night food!!!
  • Amber B.
    Order a Chocolate Shake (fyi it's not on the menu)
  • Serious Eats
    Cheddar Fries: fresh-cut fries covered in glorious Merkt's cheddar. Even when the cheese gets cold, it's still good.
  • Brian S.
    Get wasted, tell other drunks you have an online pass to cut in line, order cheese fries, char dog, and a chocolate milkshake ($20, expensive but worth it.)
