I’m skeptical about eating green chile anywhere except New Mexico, so I was very surprised when I actually found a place that advertised that they were a New Mexico based restaurant and spelled chile the proper way and not like Texas chili. It was ACTUALLY green chile and it pains me to admit, that I would choose Devil Dawgs green chile cheeseburger over some cheeseburgers in New Mexico.

There are only two locations in Chicago and both are very small. Justin and I went to the larger location of the two, where we could actually sit in-doors. Devil Dawgs is right in the middle of the city on State street. A very busy, very popular street in Chicago with many other eating options. I am happy that we chose to come here, I’d rather have this authentic green chile cheeseburger over everything else around the restaurant any day.

This is basically the entire restaurant. The walls are full of reviews of the restaurant, praising various items on their menu. 

Based on the name of the restaurant, you would wonder why anyone would get anything except for a hot dog. I haven’t tried any of the hot dogs, but the first one I will try will be the Hot Green Chile Cheddar Dog. I have been here at least 4 times and not once have I been disappointed. The cheeseburgers are fairly small, so I recommend getting at least two and getting the double rather than the single patty. My mouth is watering just thinking about these burgers. Here is Devil Dawgs Kick Ass Burger (yes, the real name) and it is definitely kick ass.

The menu description of the green chile is “Grown out of the Devil’s garden green chiles.” Its messy and delicious. You can tell just how juicy the cheeseburger is. Being from New Mexico and living in Chicago makes me appreciate the green chile so much more. It’s not easy to find authentic green chile, prepared the right way. This burger has green chile, grilled onions, ketchup, mayo and cheese.  Just to put the size into perspective:

For someone with a big appetite, I’d recommend three. The french fries are no ordinary french fries, at least not to me. They also have french fries with cheese and green chile, why I haven’t tried these, I have no idea. I WILL be having them next. The french fries I had are the regular hand cut fries. Imagine the best part of any fry. The crunchy, usually small, fried-for-a-little-too-long fry. That is ALL the french fries here at Devil Dawgs.

There is the perfect amount of salt, and a perfect side too an awesome green chile cheeseburger.

Overall, Devil Dawgs is one of my favorite places to eat in Chicago, it’s a delicious reminder of home.
