Tom, the owner, is the best! He’s a hardworking Greek immigrant who took over the Winking Dog back in 1990. He knows so many of his customers by their first name. Though the place is not super modern, it is clean and well kept! Best hotdogs and fries in the Chicago land burbs! Great gyros, Italian beefand even salads! A classic in the north lake neighborhood. I may be a little biased since my dad owns this place � but give the food a try and you won’t be disappointed.

Eating lunch with our neighborhood friends. 6 adults, 2 children...good business, right? I soent almost $40 just for me & my 2 children. Well... BOYCOTT The Winking Dog-the owner told us “people were complaining about the noise” when AJ was getting loud with joy...yet we never saw anyone (there were only 3 besides us) go to him and say anything. Bye, TWD. � Social media has mucho power when it comes to spreading the word about grouchy, discriminatory practices. �

The first tome this happened to me a few years ago, I boycotted them for on... read more
