Chicago Paulies - Tampa

Loved it. I look forward to coming here again. The owner was professional, friendly and quick with the hotdogs and fries. Ordered a chili-cheese dog, a New York dog with Paulie sauce and my wife had a custom hotdog with pickles and ketchup. Chili cheese dog has been what I've been looking for because it's pretty hard to find a good chili dog in Tampa without some nasty chili sauce or fake cheese sauce on it. The fries are the hidden gem here though, as they were crispy on theoutside and soft in the inside, tasty without any need for seasoning. Proudly owned by a veteran for over 30 years.

Great Chicago Dogs and Italian Beef. Paulie himself is back there cooking and a super friendly guy. Can't beat it for an authentic Chicago meal at an affordable price. Support a local business and make your mouth happy. You won't regret it!

Awesome Italian Beef Sausage Combos. The real deal. Paulie is very cool, and is great to talk with. Reasonable prices, huge portions. Better than a lot of joints IN Chicago. Will definitely become a regular. Paulie works alone, and be patient, because everything is made to order. A true gem of a Chicago Beef/Dog stand in the heart of Tampa. Erik Rubietta

Chicago Paulie's is a wonderful little gem tucked in the same parking lot as a fuel station. Just walk up and speak with the man, the myth, the legend himself. Paulie, great man and he makes a mean hot dog (anyway you'd like and chili cheese fries. Found my new local dog joint for sure.

Great beef sandwich! Paulie is just cantankerous enough, the right ambiance! Polish is excellent, as well. He's getting a fryer which means pizza puffs are in the near future! Genuine Chicago eats, reasonable prices. We had a beef and a Polish and it was about 15 bucks! I'm going back!
