We had our first ever Pepper & Egg Sandwich today. Ironically enough, it tasted just like peppers and eggs. Delicious. Windy City Beef & Dogs in Las Vegas.
Windy City Beefs-N-Dogs: A Taste of Chicago in Las Vegas
Windy City Beefs-N-Dogs is a beloved Las Vegas institution satisfying Chicago food cravings for locals and homesick transplants alike. If you’re hankering for the authentic flavors of the Windy City, this is your place.
The Story
The founder of Windy City Beefs-N-Dogs, a Chicago native, spent decades in Las Vegas longing for the comfort food of his hometown. Recognizing a gap in the market, he boldly decided to bring the true essence of Chicago’s street food to Sin City. With multiple locations, Windy City Beefs-N-Dogs has become a favorite among locals and tourists.
The Menu
Windy City Beefs-N-Dogs keeps the menu focused on what they do best:
- Chicago-style Hot Dogs: Classic Vienna Beef hot dogs in steamed poppy seed buns, “dragged through the garden.” This means they’re piled high with yellow mustard, bright green relish, chopped onions, tomato wedges, a dill pickle spear, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
- Italian Beef Sandwiches: Thinly sliced roast beef, simmered in a flavorful broth and tucked into Italian bread. Get it “dry” (less broth), “wet” (extra broth), or “dipped” (the whole sandwich gets a bath!). Top with sweet peppers or spicy giardiniera.
- Maxwell Street Polish Sausage: A Chicago staple – a juicy Polish sausage, grilled with onions and topped with yellow mustard.
- Other Favorites: Don’t miss out on the Italian sausages, pizza options, and classic sides like cheese fries.
The Vibe
