Well, would have wrote this sooner, but did not realize this place on yelp! Anyway, I always get them at the farmer's market in Oak Lawn. Love a good hot dog and this is one of them! Keep it up!

Smilin' Clyde's Hot Dogs, established in 2011 by owner Clyde Anhalt, brings the authentic Chicago hot dog experience to Oak Lawn, IL. Inspired by the nostalgic charm of classic hot dog carts, Clyde retrofitted a 60’s cart to serve steamed Vienna beef hot dogs on Rosen's poppy seed buns, customizable with a variety of toppings.
Starting at local Farmers Markets, Smilin' Clyde's quickly gained popularity by focusing on quality and customer service, even accommodating unconventional requests like ketchup on hot dogs. With the support of his family, Clyde expanded the business to cater private parties and weddings, becoming a staple at events across Chicago's south side.
As demand grew, Smilin' Clyde's expanded to operate multiple carts and secured locations in popular spots like Grant Park and Jackson Park. With a commitment to using fresh ingredients and providing a unique, nostalgic dining experience, Smilin' Clyde's continues to serve up the best hot dogs in town, inviting customers to savor a taste of Chicago's culinary heritage.

If you're looking for a good hot dog, this is your guy!! Seen him around at a couple of farmers markets and just had to stop. And I don't normally like hot dogs! Go figure!

Best dogs in the business by far. Better than Portillos, better than Gene and Judes. Smilin Clyde's is the way to go for all your catering needs too.
See a problem?
