Great place to grab a Coney Island dog. The New York Deli dog is also great.
Welcome to Johnniebeefs!
Welcome to Johnniebeefs!
Visit our Midvale, Utah, Chicago-style hot dog shop for 100% beef hot dogs, Italian beef, bratwurst, and meatball sandwiches. Johnniebeefs is a 1950s - inspired diner featuring authentic Chicago-style hot dogs, great service, and a unique atmosphere. When John looked around Salt Lake City, it seemed to have everything but a good old 100% beef hot dog place. John changed all that, and Johnniebeefs was born to bring this American classic to our exceptional city.

John is a great host. It's the closest to the real thing I have found here since moving from Chicago 30 years ago. Love the friendliness. The beef sandwich and Chicago dog are great. Wish it were closer ...need one on the west side of valley.

My all time favorite at Johnnie Beefs is the Ditka. It is a charbroiled beef patty combined with a bratwurst and other amazing toppings. In fact I love all of Johnnie Beef's amazing culinary creations from his Chicago Dogs to his Italian Stallion. Makes me want to become a Cubs fan.

I'm embarrassed to say I'm going back today to get two more Utah Dogs after just being there yesterday! The owner? manager ?there is so friendly to everyone he makes friends out of everyone who comes in. And the hotdogs and buns are really great. I just lilke my plain with mustard. The poppyseed buns make it incredible. It's amazing what good food and wonderful customer service will do for a place. He always has customers.

LOVE this place. Come everytime I'm in Salt Lake. Better than Portillo's IMO. The proprietor makes sure to take very good care of us every time we come in.

Stopped by for dinner before a movie tonight. The flavors took me back 40 years. Girlfriend never had a Chicago Dog before, now she gets it. Got an Italian Stallion to go for lunch tomorrow. Johnnie took very good care of us. I'm a very happy guy.

Went to Johnnie Beefs in Midvale upon recommendation by my bro-in-law. He and my wife were raised in Chicago and I grew up a little south so this was a true treat. Some come close to the real deal, but Johnnie Beefs delivers teh goods 100%. They use the real stuff and thank God they have the real Chicago dog poppyseed buns! Too bad I live about 4 hours away, but I'll be back next time I'm in SLC.

We come from Chicago. This is the real deal. Same as if purchased in Chicago. They even have the Chicago style hot tomales now. Delicious, can't be beat!

John,
Awesome job again on the food at Johnniebeef's. It's the closest we can get to Portillos, we'll take it.
Like I said yesterday, let me know when the shirts are in, we'll buy 2 or more of them.
Thanks again, see you soon.

You can't go wrong with a Chicago dog from Johnniebeefs. If I lived within 30 miles of your place, I'd need an economic stimulus package myself to support my eating habits.

I love johnniebeefs! The owner is so friendly and is always working hard to make sure everyone enjoys the food. I wish he wood open up one on the west side of the valley :)
