It’s is always a 5 star experience for me whenever I eat here. The hot dogs and fries have tasted the same to me for over 60 years tho the menu has expanded quite a bit since I moved out of Cicero in 1979. Every time I come “home” to the Chicago area, I always stop at Henry’s. Best hot dog around.

Being born and raised in Cicero as a child, I fond memories of going to Henry's. In fact, I was a life guard at Manor Pool not too far from Henry's. We would send someone there to pick up lunch for us. I went to school with the owners of Henry's. I am 56 years old and make it a point anytime I am near buy to go to Henry's. It is really the last hotdog stand on Ogden/ Route 66 from Cicero to Brookfield, IL. When you order a hotdog, the french fries wrapped with the hotdog. If you are lucky, a few of the fries will be on the hotdog. Don't take them off. You need to have them with the hotdog as you take a bite. If you want a true taste of Route 66. You must stop by Henry's. You will want to come back again, I promise.

TOTALLY MY KIND OF PLACE!!!!! This is a classic place that you should definitely check out. It is located right off the side of old Route 66. A great American restaurant on a great American road. This is a no nonsense place. The food is great, the service is excellent and fast, and they have plenty of parking and seating if you want to eat inside or in your car. I would recommend paying in cash. The menu is great and varied, but really the best item here is the Chicago dog. You get two of them with fries. The portion is great and will keep you fueled all day. They also serve RC which is a great old classic to serve at a throwback establishment like this. Seriously, one of the best spots in Chicagoland for a hotdog. I can’t recommend this place enough. 10/10! Great job guys!!!

Nice place on Cicero IL where to have a hot dog and chips. Both of them are really good and tasty. For those who depart from Chicago is a worthy place where to stop. Great pictures of the first store (during 50s). They also sell their own t shirts.
