  I came in to photograph and try some hotdogs the other day and the people there were so nice! I originally hadn’t mentioned that I would be taking photos for my Instagram @carolynscooking but when I did, they went out of their way to re do the topping to make them picture perfect. I didn’t even ask them to! I asked, other than the Chicago dog, what do they recommend and I was told to try the polish with just grilled onions and mustard. It was so delicious! Definitely my favorite. The place itself is quite small but there Is an outside seating area is really nice and sunny but also has tables with large umbrellas if you want to be in the shade. It is cash only but they have an ATM so it’s not too much of a hassle. I’ll definitely be back here, not just because it’s close by, but because the food was delicious, the service was great and the people are incredibly nice!

  I love the name and my compatriots love the fatso burgers. Unpretentious Ukrainian village joint that staunchly does few things fairly well. I’m going back for the Mac and cheese, I might only be able to handle a few bites but it’s got crust which is all I’m about anyway….

  This place is good. I’ve only had the burgers and dogs, and never gotten around to the shrimp which I hear are real good. However, I would advise to avoid the Ooey Gooey. Just too much cheese. Too much seemingly artificial though I’m sure it’s not, melted cheese.

  Hands down the best Char Dogs in Chicago. I have tried everything on the menu and I love it all. The Grilled Salami and Shrimp PO’Boy are amazing and the Fatso Burger is great and remind me of In N Out!

  Quality bite to eat. I am staying in Humboldt Park and decided to grab some eats via GrubHub. After searching around a bit, I settled on Phil’s Last Stand thanks to some positive reviews. I ordered a Chicago Hot Dog with fries for my daughter, a single Fatso and a shrimp po boy for myself. Everything we ordered was downright tasty, though the hot dog’s bun was very moist and fell apart (it is steamed, and we did have it delivered… so not really their fault). The fries were fresh and tasty and the toppings on the dog were perfect for picking up and eating and not falling everywhere or leaving you feeling like there should have been more. The Fatso was a tasty little burger. I really have to say I was surprised at just how good it was. It was cooked medium without me having to request it, and it all came wrapped nicely and well packaged.The star of the show was the shrimp po boy though. Fried shrimp (and no little ones) with coleslaw, veggies, a sauce and potato sticks for added crunch and… whoa. I may never look at shrimp po boys the same. Very well done. Overall, we were thrilled with out meal, and we’ll definitely order again.

  Vegetarian Delight. Oh my god. I lived down the block from this place for 3 months (!) before eating here. What a mistake. I could have had so many delicious vegetarian cheddar dogs with amazing fresh cut fries for $4 (!) during that span of time. I have seriously eaten here 2-4 times a week since I discovered it. Cheap, delicious, super friendly staff, and vegetarian options. Yeah!

  Best burger in the city, bar none. Try the cheddar burger. Out of sight.
