Awesome customer service & great food. Best french fries and chili dog I’ve ever had in my life, hands down. Tried both the charred and regular version of the hot dogs and both were great. The huns are homemade, and my only complaint is the bun to dog ratio- I think there’s a little too much bun. Otherwise fantastic!!

Wow!!! What a great place for hotdogs! The variety is insane and the flavors?! Forget about it, out of this world!! The buns are like no place else, I believe they make the bread themselves. The fries are just incredible! Some of the best home cut fries I’ve had by far. And the service is just amazing from the moment you open the door till the moment you finish the last bite. I can tell that they really appreciate their customers

My new favorite Chicago dog place for when I am in town! Context: I don't eat true Chicago style food very often Service: In general, the service was great -- even for takeout. And when you compare to other hot dog joints, the service was really good. Food: & Italian Beef & Chicago style & Old Chicago & Boss Classic & Maxwell Polish Sausage & Das Brat & Corn dog (daily special) All the orders came with fries so we had a LOT! Not having fried often, I thought these were way too salty. Though still delicious because they are hand cut and fresh. They're still fries though I didn't think they were overly oily. Das Brat 4.5/5. This was flavorful though not overly salty. My favorite of the bunch. Next time, I would ask for less char, but that's a personal preference (it does clearly say char broiled so that's on me). Corn dog 3/5. Overall was small though the batter seemed homemade. Italian Beef 4/5. It was dipped though still seemed dry. Otherwise the beef had a good beef flavor (as opposed to just the salt and au jus of Portillo's).

Tried a new spot today ... Boss Dawgz in Lisle,IL and it was fire!!! The relationship began with “hello would you like to feel my bunzzzz... “ and only got better from there .... once we tried everything it was true love!!! From a classic Dawg.. to a Coney ... brat or beef and fresh cut fries .. everything was delicious!! Customer service was a true talent and highly impressed!!! As a wise man once said...”I’ll be back!”... foe shoooo!!

Mannnn this place is . I had driven by so many times, but finally the other day after I got my car washed, I was totally in the mood for a glizzy and decided to give it a try. And Gawd Damn am I happy I did. This is far from your standard hot dog spot, they can dress one Chicago style for you but their menu far surpasses anything you could have hoped for. I went in for one and had to get seconds. From bread baked in house and their own blend of dog to the hospitality and cleanliness this is truly a suburban gem and should be enjoyed. Can’t wait till I’m in the area to hit Them up again. Totally suggest you do the same.

We’re from central Illinois. Our son goes to school here so we decided to find a good dog. Boss Dawgz didn’t disappoint. I had the Three Dawg Flight. My wife had the cheese fries and our grand daughter had the the Ripper. I couldn’t decide which was my favorite of my three. Everything was delicious. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted and spoken to like family. PLEASE PLEASE put one of these in Springfield Illinois. I’d eat there all the time.

There’s not enough good things to say about this place. Friendly staff and amazing flavors surrounding the star of the classic hot dog. This will be our new local staple for hot dogs and fries!
