I, like many others, was taken to Parky's by my dad when I was a young kid on the way to Sox games at Comiskey. We usually went to the Roosevelt location, the one with bullet holes in the glass. (Hey,...

My husband and I decided to keep our dietary debauchery on track this week, so we got Parky's for dinner. I did walk there, but I doubt that 3/4 mile even comes close to counterbalancing the calorie...

First and foremost, I love the fact that they don't use Vienna Beef franks. It's a nice change of pace from virtually every other hot dog place around the Chicago area. The fries are legendary for...

My mom used to take me to the one on Roosevelt Road when I was a kid, but that location sadly closed. The fries here are awesome. They double bag them because they are so greasy. The dogs are okay,...

I haven't eaten here in years, but I used to come all the time throughout high school. I love that the fries have to be double bagged because of all the grease. I'm a vegetarian now, but back in the day I...

Best fries in the universe. Malts are good too. This isn't quite as good as the real Parky's (RIP) on Roosevelt.

Go for the fries, leave for the hot dog!This place is a tradition in the neighborhood, but the hot dogs are not Vienna and they are not cooked all the way (maybe it's just me). The polish is better,...

If you want a good Chicago style hotdog this isn't the place, and I sure is hell aint the guy to tell you it is. For starters they don't use venna beef- that alone takes away a star. The hotdog...

Four stars only because I just had a hot dog. Can't give a place 5 estrellas with just a frankfurter...come on. But 4 stars for just a hot dog - pretty good Parky's. As messed up as it is, you can...

Two favs in Chicago. Gene & Judes and Parkys. Have to give the nod to Parky's! Dog close to Gene & Judes, Parkys fries are the best of two. Also Parkys has true Chicago feel. Nothing like a seat on the picnic...

It fills the void. There are better dogs in town, but these are pretty good, and truly authentic Chicago dogs and Polish sausages. Stay away from the fries. They get a little nasty when they get cold....

I just tried Parky's again for the first time in about 12 years, (don't get to Forest Park much). That said, I would recommend Parky's as one of the best non-Vienna (David Berg) hot dog stands to be found in...

I've been going to parky's since I was young and I loved them then because they are so greasy and they clump together. I have been back there since and they are still as good.
