Wolfy's has been serving West Ridge since 1967, a family-run counter-service spot on Peterson Avenue built around the Chicago-style hot dog: mustard, relish, onion, pickle, tomato, sport peppers, and celery salt on a Vienna Beef dog, packed into a poppyseed bun.
The menu also runs a Classic Beef Sandwich — shaved roast beef piled on a French roll with giardiniera — and a gyro made from vertically slow-cooked rotisserie lamb with tomato, onion, and tzatziki in pita.
It's known locally as something of a Chicago institution, the kind of place where regulars return year after year and staff remember their order without being asked.
