Hands down the BEST place to get my hot dog fix! I consider myself a bit of a hotdog snob and this place hits the mark. The lucky fries are awesome so I recommend getting those with a cup of cheese instead of the regular french fries if you’re not afraid of some garlic. My husband loves the ghost chicken sandwich and the burgers are amaz-balls as well!! I have sent some other hotdog snobs their way as well and they do agree. Give them a shot. You won’t be disappointed!

My son wanted to find a new hotdog place to give a whirl and found this while shopping in Tinley Park. They have a very extensive menu at great prices. The inside was nice and clean with lots of seating. They also have a nice seating area outside as soon as it gets warm. I would recommend the slaw dog, the pizza, puff, and their kettle chips, which I had were absolutely amazing incredibly thin. Very tasty.the staff was great. Glad we stopped.

Amazing Amazing Amazing! Love the service and the employees. The food on the other hand, 10/10 scrumptious! Let me tell y’all I can not stress it enough that the Lucky Hot Dogs is that girl (restaurant). Please if you are in the tinley park area take a trip down to the good ol lucky hot dogs!

Ridiculously good! The service was great and the food was even better! I got a Hawaiian dog - hot dog with shredded bacon and red onion, chunks of pineapple, and this most yummy of ginger sauces. The hot dog was good by itself - the toppings made it that much better. We'll definitely be back!

Let me begin by saying, "I loved Jr's hot dogs." This is the same place, except their fries have been upgraded, and they have AWESOME burgers
