Flub A Dub Chub’s

Great burger, great tots, great chili, great cheese sauce, great tamale. All for a super-​low price. Can’t beat it!

I love this place! I don’t crave hot dogs often, but when I do, this is exactly where I want to go (and coming from Chicago, that’s saying something!). The hot dog and burger menu is extensive, the prices are great, and the fries are super tasty! Enjoy the small patio out front in the summer and people watch on Broadway!

Great vegan hot dogs, very affordable! And they were delicious! Definitely recommended. Don’t forget, no ketchup on Chicago Hot Dogs!

Pretty cheap sandwich/​burger place. Like coming here for quick food to take home. You can custom make any burger or sandwich with tons of choices for toppings. Lot of food too.

Super tasty burgers! I was able to make my own, which is great since I wanted one thing off of every kind they had!
Beware — the jalapenos are almost TOO hot! (But, super good, nonetheless)
Plus side, you can order your food downstairs and go up to Murphy’s for a beer and darts while you wait — they’ll bring your food up to you! Will definitely be back.

Order 2 chubbies (came with the choice of fries, tots or salad), onion rings and an Italian beef for to-​go. Food was just OK.
I ordered my chubbie Chicago style (very clearly) and wanted the tots with chili and cheese. They screwed it up and gave me a chili cheese dog with tots and even up charged me. Chili was too salty, but the ¼ lb chubby had a nice snap to it.
The Italian beef was huge (and it should be for $ 8.99) but the meat was too salty as well.
The damage was around $ 30 for just 2 dogs, tots, mediocre onion rings and a salty Italian beef. We will not be back.

500^th review!!!
Anyway… Lol
The hot dogs are freaking incredible! I was never a fan of pickles and I hated relish, but I thought, I can’t get a decent Chicago dog experience without everything on it, so I went with a full Chicago dog. I love relish and pickles now! All of it put together was just damn good, best place I think to get your first Chicago dog!
My friends had the chihuahua (bacon wrapped hot dogs with avocado), they said they loved it!
If you’re bringing someone new in town and you want their first Chicago dog to be one of the best in the city without their wallets being unhappy, bring them to Chubs!

Rosemary, Sam, Greg, & Brian do an extraordinary job in producing high quality food!
NEVER disappointed by a GRILLED hot dog, fresh cooked-​to-​order burger, and tasty fries with «secret» ingredients seasoning!
A FUN hideaway before, during, or after Cubs,’ Bulls, Hawks, or Bears games!

I really like this place. Small joint burger place. Nothing fancy. Simple and casual. Came here with my husband and friend. The three of us ordered abt $ 45 of food. The hangover, doggie special, mushroom burger and cheese sticks. Everything tasted great. The burgers were on pretzel buns which gave it the Kuma burger texture and the breaded mushrooms on the burger was delish. The service was great. The guy was very helpful and nice. Bought our food out to the patio for us. We tipped, of course. Thank you.
Only bad thing is… the amount of grease smoke inside when they cook. We originally were going to eat inside but once they start to cook, the smoke fogged up the whole joint. We had to retreat outside. So probably no good for winter dine in unless u want people to think u work there cause u sure smell like it.

This was my first Chicago dog, I was told by many locals that this was the place to go to have my first Chicago dog experience!
It was really cool that this place was located at the bottom floor of a multi-​floor building! Now, if you walk by too fast you can miss this place!
On to the food, I really enjoyed the hotdog! They was that pop when I took my first bite! I got a little bit of everything in that bite! I thoroughly enjoyed it. For 8 bucks, I got a dog and tots (plus a free drink if you check into Unilocal). Not bad at all in my eyes.
The bread was nice and soft. The dog to bread ration was the perfect amount!
I have so much more to explore in Chicago! I definitely will be back to Flub’s!

The Best Hot Dog ever tried!!!

Loved it! I went here on a friend’s recommendation, and can’t wait to go back. The hot dogs were (dare I say it…) the best I’ve had in Chicago so far — but what really topped it for me was the homemade chili that’s served with their fries. I can’t wait to come back here in colder weather just for that.
Plus — the service makes you feel right at home.

My friends advised me to have a Chicago Dog while visiting there last week. My wife & I were going to a Chicago Cubs game and picked out a place near Wrigley Field with the best Unilocal reviews & Flub A Dub Chub’s it was. It was a tad difficult to locate given we didn’t know the area & Google Maps was a little disoriented, but we found it off the street in the basement space. It’s a tad small, so keep your eyes open.
We decided to order the Flubby & the Chubby. My wife wanted a beer, but they don’t serve beer, but the guy taking the order suggested we go upstairs to the bar & he’d bring the dogs to us. How very accommodating.
We loved both selections. They were different than what we were used to with the tomato and the pickle, but they were excellent.
I recommend checking this place out.

Yesterday I decided to check out one of the 18 burger places Unilocal selected for burger week. (1 down 17 more to go). I decided to go to Flub A Dub Chubs. This is located @ 3021 N Broadway for one of the $ 5.00 Featured Burgers. The Roe Burger sounded good w/​½ Black Angus Patty, cooked medium rare & served on a Toasted Pretzel Bun W/​Mild Cheddar, Avocado, & Bacon. It was cooked the way I ordered it, medium rare and lightly seasoned. It was a pretty good burger, but wasn’t anything that amazed me. The burger also came with fries
Flub A Dub is a very small storefront with the actual restaurant down the stairs into a garden apt type setup. Nice little Ma & Pa restaurant with friendly staff working there.

It’s actually 4.5 stars but I’m feeling good today so. 5 it is!
Hot Doug’s is overrated. Too soon for those who are still mourning its closing? Oh well, I wrote it into existence. Honestly, I don’t know what hot dog stand is worth standing around for 2 hours for… and to me that’s not what hot dogs stand for! They’re the quintessential easy, quick, and delicious meal that is not meant to make you healthier, just happier. Flub a Dub Chub’s is a no muss, no fuss type of place that quickly delivers some really hearty hot dog selections without the obnoxious wait. Honestly, the hot dogs there are just as good as the really well-​known same city contenders and that makes me happy.
The real star though is. the cheese sauce. Any cheese fries or cheese tater tot lovers out there? Anyone? … now I’m no cheese sauce connoisseur but that stuff is like goopey yellow saucey crack. So addicting! mmmm!!! I come back frequently just to order the cheesey sides.

I usually stop in this restaurant and then order then wait for my order.
During my last visit, I had noticed they offer on-​line ordering so I made a note of that.
Tonight, I had registered and placed my first order. The entire process was very painless. By the time I had arrived (no more than 10 minutes) my order was ready. Guess what… it was all correct.
This was the first time I had ordered «Build-​A-​Sam» with chicken. As always, the chicken was very moist. The system prompts you each step. Very user friendly system.
Check out this neighborhood gem.

This place is seriously a neighborhood gem. I moved down the block two months ago and have already made two stops into Flub’s. Both times I went with a hot dog topped with mustard, onion, and celery salt with a side of fries dipped in their delicious spicy garlic mayo and both times I loved loved loved it.
While I haven’t tried many of the specialty items that make this spot so popular there are a few things that really set it apart for me with the first being the service. Both times I have been in there the staff has been beyond friendly and welcoming. On my most recent trip I met the owner, Rosemary, a very cool lady who made me happy I chose to support a local, family owned business.
In addition to the great service I also think Flub’s has a higher standard of quality and better prices than other hot dog stands. The fries were exceptional and the hot dogs a ¼ pound of plump, juicy, Vienna Beef.
I’d highly recommend stopping in Flub A Dub Chub’s or ordering on line from their web site. You really cannot go wrong with this spot.

Wow. Flub A Dub Chub’s deserves six stars.
First, it smells so good in here. It smells like good old fashioned, greasy, American food.
We had dinner here on New Years Eve before heading to a house party nearby. Our original plan was to head elsewhere, but they were closed. Flub’s is not only open on NYE, but they keep their regular hours.
Flub’s «Grandma K» burger is quite possibly the best burger I have ever had. The Grandma K is a burger patty, cooked medium-​well at my request, topped with goat cheese, bacon, and a sweet red onion relish, served on a soft pretzel bun. It was smeared with tons of goat cheese, and the sweet red onion relish surprised me. It wasn’t onion-​y at all, which I loved since I usually request anything without onions.
Burgers and hot dogs come with fries, but I subbed the mozzarella sticks. You can taste the beer in their beer battered mozz sticks, which are surprisingly not super greasy. The onion rings are also amazing.
My husband was very happy with his BLT hot dog and Polish sausage; he was sure to point out how well charred the sausage was.
The service is fantastic. The guy who took our order chatted with us a little bit, offered to refill our drinks and package our leftovers. There are several tables, and a bar with stools, or you can order to go. You can also place orders online for pick-​up!
Flub’s is awesome. I can only imagine how packed this place gets on New Years’ Day — this is serious hangover food.

The owner’s son was taking orders and he was very nice. My 11 and 9 year old were very happy with their Italian beef sandwich and cheeseburger. My husband left with a happy belly full of the combo. We’d recommend it to anyone.

The reviews don’t lie
Hidden gem (most missed it; LOOK DOWN)
Flubby, fries, Arnold Palmer.
Yep!

If you are looking for a greasy burger, hot dog, fries, mozz sticks, onion rings (you get the point), this is the spot for you!
Heaven on the plate and hell on your thighs.
I had the Bryan Burger and it was delish. Along with mozz sticks, onion rings and some fries. Dont judge, I can EAT! Oh and this was AFTER we went to Senza for the 5 course tasting and I ate it all…
Disgustingly delicious. Orange, creamy, nacho cheese on everything I put in my mouth. Lots of ranch and ketchup.
Heartburn here I come… it was well worth it. THANK YOU!
