    Food tastes great. Loved that they steamed the hot dog buns. Italian beef sandwich was very good portion size. Did not skimp on the meat.

    Cute little hot dog stand... I had the Chicago style hot dog which was delicious. The staff was very friendly. The decor is themed with music and food signs. There is an outdoor sitting area where you can bring your dogs to. Parking lot is shared with two other businesses.

    Being from the region, I love a good Chicago hotdog but living in central Indiana it's not something one comes across with any regularity. And when you find it on the menu, it's never what you remember. Until you find yourself in Monticello Indiana at Renee's Chicago dogs. Wow. The dogs are genuine, the poppy seeded buns are the perfect texture, the dill spear, peppers, relish,mustard. Man I felt like Kurt Russell in backdraft. Great dog! They gave me an Italian beef sample. Solid 9/10. Comes w peppers and au jux but just ask and they will do what you want. I also had an old timey root beer and creme soda. Perfect compliment to the dogs. The diner has the 50s diner seats, booths, signage and they were even playing 50s songs. Super friendly counter staff, perfectly clean, lots of food options... Oh and they have a dozen ice cream flavors with the real cones. It smells so good in here! Right on 421. It's 20 min away but I'll be back ALOT. Loved it.

The chicago dogs are amazing. They have good bun texture and a solid topping ratio. If youre in the area looking for a good chicago dog spot, this place is it! Come to Renee's, they'll hook you up

    FANTASTIC Chicago dogs, with a subtle smokiness...offer a variety of dogs, snacks, and ice cream-AND desserts in the side room. Interior is a funky diner theme, great "date night" spot. I LITERALLY stop here every time I'm in town for work!!

    Fun place, highly recommended. From Chicago, so we can authenticate the Chicago-style dogs from the celery salt to the bite on the dog. Love the Sprechers too. Nice touch. Great atmosphere, personnel are very friendly. We'll be back. Next time, beef sammiches.
