on Judys Book Dec 01, 2010I have been going to Gene &Jude's since the 50's when it was a small garage type brick building located about 50 feet directly in front of the present building. The hot dogs and french fries are as good today as they were... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 16, 20091) The hot dogs are the best I've ever had - even after living in a few states, they are the gold standard. Nothing has measured up yet, after 20 years. 2)The prices are unbelievable! When I was a poor college kid, I... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 17, 2009When I was a little girl, my parents would get my little sister and I together and we'd go out for Gene and Jude's. There was something so exciting about going there. Its always been busy, whether its midnight or noon.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 06, 2009When I was little it was my mom and dad's favorite thing to do. We would all pile into the car and drive to Rubber Dogs (also known as Gene and Jude's) The only thing was I hated hot dogs and always ended up running next door... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 20, 2009First of all to "ilovehotdogs" it's not dirty it's old! Second of all it's a hot dog stand for take out only. Do you complain about pizza places that are take out only? Now to "timloveshotdogs" if you think that the... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 12, 2009This is NOT the only great hot dog place in the area. It is dirty, you can't sit down, there is no ketchup and the employees don't seem to care.. There is a BETTER PLACE IN NORTHLAKE. It is called Winking Dog, 100 North Ave... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 08, 2009I can't even describe how good these are. A family favorite for sure. I have not lived in Chicago for almost 20 years now, but each time I go back, I make sure that I get to Gene and Jude's. The last time I was in Chicago I took... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 31, 2008I love Gene and Jude's. I've been out of Chicago and living in lake county for almost 15 years now, but every time I visit my family in Chicago I have to stop at Gene and Jude's. These are the true Chicago hot dog's I grew up... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 08, 2008If you want a true Chicago dog, this is the place. As a follow up to another review, yes it is a simple menu - it's a hot dog stand. If you're looking for an extensive menu then go to a restaurant. My friends and I make the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 04, 2008For what it's worth, the place does have a rich history (pun intended, the owners are millionaires), having been around since the late 50's. My dad went there with his buddies when he was a kid. Here's the skinny: As... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 13, 2008I've gone to this place several times. It was never good. The positive reviews are either shilling for the place or they don't know what a good hot dog is. The dogs are small and they don't have a full range of... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 06, 2008After reading that Gene and Judes was a "noteworthy" hot dog stand in the Chicago area in the recent issue of TimeOut Chicago, i eagerly drove from the city to the quaint neighborhood of River Grove to check it out for... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 16, 2008I don't know where chicago style dog lover ate - maybe outta the dumpster in the back - but these are by far the best CHICAGO style Dawgs around. I grew up closer to SuperDawgs and still made the journey to Gene & Judes.... (more)
