“ Everything was great. I got a charred dog with everything and homemade cheese tots. SO GOOD. A couple spots inside to eat, tables outside (where we sat). Food comes out decently fast and hot a I can absolutely see why it stayed consistently busy ”
“ Took my two favorite guys here for hot dogs and Italian beef. No complaints. Friendly folks, quick service, and great food. Sit outside on a nice day. I’ll be back for a milkshake next time. ”
“ This restaurant is a must for anyone visiting Chicago who loves hamburgers and got dogs with all their variations. This isn't all they serve. Check out their menu. Three days in a row, I ate the Char Dog Special. They serve the char dog all the way with their own spin on toppings. I had mine the way I grew up eating hotdogs with just mustard and onion.... 3 days in a row. Don't walk, run to Fatso's Last Stand for great food!! ”
“ If you’re craving a sizable, gooey burger Fatsos will scratch the itch! Won’t be able to stop picking at the fries until they’re gone ”
“ QUALITY BURGER and served UNSMASHED in its wrapper. Sauce is also the secret to it’s already delicious hamburger patty. Fries are really tasty, too. And the BEST PART are their BOOZY SHAKES selections! ”
“ That's my first time I eat there at Fatso's Last Stand when I had Italian Beef sandwich with Giardiniera peppers and fries. I'm totally satisfied with this Vienna Beef restaurant location in Ukrainian Village neighborhood. ”
“ Picked most recommended places for Chicago Dogs and went to 4, this did not disappoint. Surprised by amazing shakes. The grilled bun makes it hold together and eat easier but tasting experience was argued in group if better than steamed or worse. Also these are Char dogs. Normally I argue order of dog starts best with charcoal for char grill, propane grill, griddle, NY dirty water, deep fried, steamed, boiled, then microwaved... but with the dragged through garden Chicago style 2 of 3 argue the steamed elsewhere is better match to all the other flavors. The toppings great, nice and heavy on celery salt (2 of 3 preference), and the heavy poppy seeds was great. Best looking dog! And if Char dog your gig, this is the place! ”
