Our Story

Since 1977, the Velliotis family and Clark Street Dog have been serving the Chicagoland area delicious Chicago-style street food and drink. The restaurant has become known for their signature Clark Street Dog, a play on the Chicago Dog with mustard, onion, relish, tomato, pickle, and sport peppers. They also serve a top-rated Chicago Philly Steak, fresh angus burgers and the fan-favorite Cheese Fries. The variety of menu items is always fresh, never frozen, and cooked to order.  Clark Street Dog sources and supports locally owned and sourced products and services.

In addition, Clark Street Dog is the original Hot Dog Bar.  We feature a full bar and is the original home of the Pickle-Back Shot, the result of a creative conversation over what to do with the leftover whole spears pickle juice. The bar only features local beers on tap featuring Goose Island for $5.00 every day of the week including game days

Clark Street Dog is Lakeview's favorite late-night stop and a friendly environment with affordable dining options, the perfect place to grab a beer and a bite.
