on Citysearch Mar 30, 2008I just recently found this place and I was pleasantly surprised by the Italian beef sandwich. If you've had one in dowtown Chicago and are looking for the real deal here in Columbus, try this place. The service is good... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2008Ok, Here's the deal. I lived in Chicago only for a short 3 years. The biggest thing about the Chi is the food. I love a cago style dog. mmm nothing better. Wholly Joes is based off of the Chicago based Portillo's Hot Dogs... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2007The Italian Roast Beef is good. To me an authentic Chicago hot dog has to have fresh cut fries, not frozen crinkle cust ones. The pizza is good, but not spectacular. If you order pizza, the service is stupid. They give... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 16, 2007Ate there for the very first and last time today....salad and a tamale - both were presented as something I can get at any gas station that has a small eatery in it. The salad was small for $3.25 and made the salads at... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2007As a Chicago native, I can attest that this place is authentic. The deep dish pizza is mouth-watering good. I took a trip back to Chicago a few months ago and had Giordano's, and I remembered thinking I actually prefer... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 05, 2007We have lived in Chicago area our entire lives. Yes, Wholly Joes is good, but not perfect. Yes, the ingredients come from Chicago "area" but don't compare to the Chicago area local pizza places such as Home Run Inn or... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 02, 2006I have tried the burgers, the dogs, the fires and the rings. The only thing that tastes even remotely fresh is the Chicago style pizza, which takes them 45 minutes to make. The fries and the rings !! Forget about them,... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 18, 2006Good grub!! That simple, very decent meal for the dollar. Why not support a local family business instead of McPuke or another chain. The food is excellent and they have a diverse menu that you don't see anywhere else!... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 07, 2006We lived outside Chicago for years and love Chicago Style Hot Dogs. They are really different at first bite... we had no basis for this experience! We missed them until we found Wholly Joes! Now we go a distance to enjoy... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 07, 2006I've been here a few times now and really can't complain too much. They do sometimes take a little too long to get your order done though. I've tried several items and nothing jumps out as to-die-for. The chili dogs are... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 21, 2005This was the worst burger I've had the displeasure of eating in some time. The fries and rings were frozen and tasted as if they'd been fried in grease way past its best days. Iced tea was the "bagged" kind so popular in... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 14, 2005We love Wholly Joe's! Even though I prefer them sans cucumber, the hot dogs are fantastic (I especially like the kosher beef dogs) The beef sandwiches are delicious too, and the au jus tastes home-made, unlike that at... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 15, 2005This was a great lunch and would make a good dinner. The 1950's style it was totally fun. Be careful because the pizza is only serived in the evening and on weekends but everything I have had on the menu was great. Besides... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 31, 2005I've been a Columbus resident all my life but have found the food here to be a little bland. I spent a few months in Chicago for business and fell in love with the great food there. When I returned to Columbus I was sad that... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 14, 2004Wholly Joes is really good. I've tried it all and I really can't say that there is anything bad to eat there. But I can defiantly say there is a lot of good things to eat. I would have to suggest trying the hot dog or the beef... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2004We are from Chicago and really missed the Chicago hotdogs. A couple years ago we found Wholly Joes and have been going there a few times a month ever since even though it is quite a drive for us. If you have never tried a... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 03, 2003My wife calls them "snap dogs" because the hotdog actually has a skin on them! I have the Wholly Joes beef sandwich, a good "french dip" type. Be sure to get their cheese for the fries! And the kids meals come in a... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 03, 2003I must say I've never had a bad meal there! The hot dogs are great, the bugers are awsome, and the italian beef is the best I've ever tasted. Plus the pizza they have there is the best in columbus, maybe even Ohio! I'd go... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 15, 2002Sure, Wholly Joe's hotdogs are good, but are they really that much better than a Ballpark frank that you put your own chili, cheese and chopped onions on? Maybe a little. At any rate, it blows Skyline out of the... (more)
