Boz Hot Dogs - Steger: Reviews & Ratings

The daughter of the original Bozos Hotdogs was the owner of this establishment but sold a while back. I said Bozos because that was the original name, but a lawsuit by Bozo the clown made them change the name to Boz Hotdogs. While working in construction I went to the original Boz near the river. The wife's Mercedes was always parked out front with her license plate saying Mrs. Boz. Great hotdogs the Chicago way.

I love the bbq beef, pub burgers and pizza puffs. This place is fantastic for a quick cheap bite with superior quality. The owner makes the food and pays attention to every detail.

Beef chili dog with fries, beef dog was so big it was more like a dinner frank. The chili consistency, perfect and not runny. Topped with chopped raw onions, made my day!

I absolutely love this place. Not only is the food AMAZING so is the staff. I'm not sure of the lady's name that's always working but she is AWESOME. My kids love her and she makes us feel like family everytime we go there. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Food was great, Sue who helped us was funny and kidded around with us which was nice as most places you don't even get a smile. I would go back just for Sue to help me out.

I traveled from my home in Savannah to work briefly in Chicago, and Boz was recommended as a good hotdog joint for lunch. I had been to a couple of other places earlier in the week and was very disappointed that I couldn't get a chili slaw dog like I do back home . I found it here, at Boz, under the name "The Carolina." It was PERFECT !! Except for the name ... should be "The Savannah" .

Finally caught them open and was able to give them a try. The woman who waited on me was top notch customer service. Ordered a Chicago dog and chili cheese fry. The dog was not a typical Chicago dog…plain bun no poppy seeds, plain relish not electric green, and cucumber instead of pickle….however, it tasted good. The fries were hot and what you’d expect from a fast food gyro type of restaurant. Paid around $10 so not too bad. Will definitely be back to try other menu items.

This spot carries the legacy of the original Bozos Hotdogs, a name changed after a well-known legal dispute but never losing its bold flavor and community charm.

The menu shines with standout items like the Pastrami Sub, which balances tender, smoky pastrami with fresh bread and perfectly matched condiments. The Jumbo Beef Dog is a true highlight—a meal-sized frank that's juicy and packed with flavor. I found the beef chili dog especially memorable, with a thick, rich chili topping and crisp raw onions adding the perfect bite. It’s comfort food at its best, satisfying and unpretentious.

Beyond the savory bites, the classic Turkey Dog and the refreshing Green River soda complement the experience, while the nostalgic Dog and Suds Root Beer offers a sweet, frothy finish. Customers often praise the attention to detail from the staff, making each visit feel personal and warm.
