I may have just had the best hot dog of my life at DT Kirby’s. And, I don’t say that lightly. I’m a big fan of the genre. There may have been others that compare, but memory of them escapes me at the moment. I had the Sonoma dog. I can’t remember what all was in it, but in addition to the dog, there were jalapenos, lettuce, and, I think, bacon and tomatoes. In any case, it was phenomenal.
The venue is unassuming. It’s a bar. In addition to the main bar, there are several tables along the opposite wall. Napkins are in the form of paper towels on a roll set on the table. There are plenty of big screen televisions, so you can see what is on. And, they appeared to have a decent selection of beer – though I was on a lunch break from work, so I didn’t indulge. In addition to the hot dog, I got a side of onion rings. They appeared to be homemade, and they were delicious as well.
If you’re looking for great tasting food and maybe a beer or two, this is a good choice. If you’re looking for healthy cuisine and a fancy setting, not so much.

Had lunch at DT Kirby’s after hearing about their fantastic burgers. Well, I must say – best burgers in town! Hands down! The fries are handcut and come with a yummy sauce, in lieu of ketchup.

I will definitely go back – great place!
Had their Chicago Dog. They apologized for being out of Vienna beef and made it with a regular hot dog – their acknowledgment of this made an impression on me – they know their dogs! I’ve been to the Wiener’s Circle and other famed Chicago locations, and I’d say it was still all a Chicago Dog should be. Decent beer on tap, plus they were amenable to changing tv channels to suit our obscure sport-spectating interest as well.

It is always a good time and everyone there seems like a tight-knit family. I loved the Reuben from there and can never get enough of the sauce that comes with the fries.

In addition to the great burgers and dogs, they have the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. Having lived in Chicago for years, this place is more Chicago than many Chicago bars….try it…NOW!!!
