Mr Pup - Des Plaines

A Dog in a Bun is a fantastic place! I really appreciate how they use fresh ingredients in their hot dogs. Their tamales are tasty, and the fries are great as well. I highly recommend Mr. Pup!

Excellent Chicago Dog! Years ago, during my trips to Chicago, my father would grab Mr. Pup hot dogs for me on his way to the airport and bring them back as carry-on. Although eating them a few hours later might have taken away some of the freshness, they were still fantastic hot dogs that had made quite the journey to reach me... Delicious!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We visited when they weren't busy. We ordered an Italian beef sandwich, a cheese dog, and cheeseburgers, and we received a generous amount of food for the price. The Italian beef was amazing, and the fries were fresh. The lady at the front was really funny; when I asked for her recommendation, she mentioned that the food is so good she eats there herself. I would definitely go back!

At Mr. Pup, you’ll find genuine food made by genuine people. The dishes here aren’t dressed up to be something they’re not. The ingredients are authentic, the meals have a rustic charm, and everything is cooked to perfection. While many restaurants opt for more elaborate presentations, it’s places like this that we truly need. During my visit, I noticed the owners chatting with other hardworking locals, and you could really feel the friendliness, the community spirit, and, most importantly, the care that goes into their food. The prices are very reasonable as well. I'm so glad I stopped by for a bite to eat. One more thing worth mentioning: they were incredibly quick and efficient in preparing my meal. I highly recommend you give this place a try!

This restaurant offers all the classic favorites, including cheeseburgers, hearty steak fries, hot dogs, and they're particularly famous for their gyros. I tried the pizza puff, and it was excellent—light and flaky with no oiliness. It's a great old-school hot dog spot in Des Plaines, boasting very quick service. While it may seem small, there are at least 12 booths available for seating.
