This Chicago-Area Icon In Illinois Tops Its Hot Dogs With Fries And Keeps A Route 66 Tradition Alive
Follow old Route 66 in Illinois to this historic hot dog stand, where fries pile onto the dog and a giant neon sign keeps the roadside story alive. The iconic Chicago-area restaurant, Henry's Drive-In, began selling kosher hot dogs from a wagon in 1946 and became a permanent stand along Route 66 in Illinois. The restaurant serves its signature hot dog and a large helping of fries together in the same paper wrapping. The sign outside features a giant hot dog buried beneath french fries. The menu also includes a double dog with fries and a chili dog, giving visitors several ways to try the house specialty. Henry’s Drive-in became a landmark in its own right after a nearby McDonald’S opened nearby. The current business continues to serve hot dogs and fries in a unique way that drivers would remember.
