As a Chicagoan, I know my hot dogs, and left bank is, in my opinion, the only acceptable choice for delicious and high quality hot dogs in the area. If you know lake forest, you know it’s a town that takes pride in its history and tradition, and no place exemplifies this history and tradition quite like left bank. This modest little hot dog place has been operating for over 60 years at the same location in market square! New owners in the past couple of years have also done an excellent job of honoring this rich history by returning to the original recipes served in the 60s! Left bank is one of those spots that all the lake forest locals have been coming to their entire lives. Whether you’re...
Surprised to find this classic hole-in-the-wall hot dog place in upscale Lake Forrest! Needed a quick bite in the afternoon and grabbed a Chicago dog and Tortilla Soup. The soup was off the rails good! (And my wife and I know good tortilla soup having grown up in San Diego). Turns out the owner’s Momma is a soup queen and makes Soups from scratch daily. Wow what a surprise. Friendly staff too. Can’t go wrong here.
Are you serious? I'm visiting from out of town, and I can confidently say these are the best hot dogs I've ever had! It's a family-owned business, and they’re amazing. Thank you all so much! Highly recommend!
Love this place... use to come here since I was in 5th grade many years ago, and now I'm bringing my kids also to eat here. We take a 40 min drive just to have lunch here once a month

Charming little spot for lunch! I had the Chicago-style vegan hot dog, and it was really tasty. The service was excellent, and the restaurant was spotless.
Excellent! It’s a cozy and family-friendly spot with delicious, straightforward food. The service is incredibly welcoming! A true staple in Lake Forest!
The Left Bank features an extensive new menu alongside all the classic favorites. This restaurant is a beloved landmark in Lake Forest.
The phone at the restaurant needs to be repaired. It has been out of service for months, and no one answers when I call.
