I am a long-time Kooker’s fan, so I was delighted to see their Recession Buster menu. They have the best Chicago-style hot dogs and wickedly good French Fries in all of the Northwest Suburbs.
I always get the Chicago-style with everything on it, hold the peppers, but Jeff says the char-dog can’t be beat. I like their fries on the side, but Jeff loves the onion rings.
Kookers is an independent restaurant with personality, charm and amazing food. And, the owner, Bill Seger, always makes you feel like you’re right at home.
Kookers is located on Northwest Highway in Barrington, just west of Route 59.

KOOKERS also has the BEST customers.
I’m with Jeff. The Char-dogs are awesome! I also like the shakes.
Love Kookers! Best dogs around! Great to see people supporting local independent restaurants.
