I'm giving it a 5-star rating because this is like a Pink's in Los Angeles. An iconic joint dating back to 1975. I went to the Irving Park location. A small place that pumps out so many kinds of hotdogs, burgers, sandwiches, and more! The crew was friendly and raw at the same time. I got a the combo which came with fries and a soft drink. I'll switch it up and milkshake next time! The ambience... well it's been around for decades. Although it was nice to site outside, you're not going their for luxury seating. It's a hot dog joint! Get down and dirty with some good kick ass hot dogs.

My favorite burgers and hot dogs in the city. I've been coming since I was little and it's never changed (in the best way) the service is always quick and everyone is kind. It's always nice to sit outside and enjoy your burger and cheese fries.

Food was good, it's just your typical hotdog burger joint. Chilli cheese dogs were yummy, you might have to get two if you're hungry though. Cheeseburger was decent. Overall it's a good place to grab a late night bite/drunk food. Service is good but they are pretty busy doing online orders. Ambiance is laidback and chill.

Byrons never disappoints! Its my go to place when I need a hotdog! Ive had a cheeseburger, hot dogs, Philly cheesesteak, fries, onion rings and probably more. They are quick and inviting. It is definitely a take out place but they do have tables to eat at outside.

Yeah you should just go here. It's suuuuuch a good Chicago dog with the vienna beef sausage. They put celery salt to season the items on the dog too. Everyone was super nice and FAST when we went in our food was ready instantly. There's a few outdoor picnic tables too that are good for some outdoor eating. Would definitely go here for another dog

I was visiting from out of town and needed a Chicago dog after not having an authentic one in years. I saw this place on Yelp and I ended up giving it a try. I normally wouldn't eat at a place that looks like this, but something about this place and how it looks made me feel like it was going to be good. And it was actually great. They have this lime soda, which is apparently a local thing. I asked about it, and they offered me a sample. It was different, but also good. As soon as I took a bite of my Chicago dog, I wanted to turn around and get another one, and I so wish I did. I love the fact that this place had three different kinds of hotdogs, as I don't like the Jumbo dogs . I'll be stopping by Byron's next time I'm in Chicago!

I came here for lunch with some friends. It was lunch time so a bit busy. In the summer it's no big deal to wait outside for the line to work itself out, but be prepared in the winter. It's a family run business and everything is made to order. Fair prices, great tasting food, and a really nice spot to enjoy a diner-style lunch outside at the picnic tables.
