For many of us, Dengeo’s has been the go-to place at the corner of Main and McCormick in Skokie, Illinois for the past 50 years. Sometimes taken for granted, Dengeo’s is always there and always worth the visit. During those years, George Theodosis and partners, George and Louis Atsaves were at the helm of the business. Later, Nick Theodosis joined to help build Dengeo's solid reputation and expand to locations in Buffalo Grove and Glenview. Dengeo’s has become well known for their Greek chicken and Gyros, as well as serving up their Vienna Beef Hot Dogs since those early years. In addition to their specialties, Dengeo’s also features great burgers, ribs, and a variety of awesome salads and sandwiches.
Over the years, the Dengeo’s team has earned the Skokie Community Service Award and have been featured on the Hungry Hound TV Show. All of the Dengeo’s family, including managers Tania, Dimitri, and Jimmy get involved in the community. Working with local sports teams, church groups in Evanston, and the previously mentioned communities where they all practice the Dengeo’s tagline of ‘treating customers like family.’
It’s their attention to customer service, commitment to community, and only serving the best products that Vienna Beef has chosen to induct the Dengeo’s family restaurants into the Vienna Beef Hot Dog Hall of Fame, which was created to honor longtime local foodservice operators that have developed into neighborhood landmarks. Out of thousands of Vienna Beef customers over the years we have recognized just 144 nationwide since the award was inaugurated in 2006. From the entire Vienna Beef family, we are extremely proud to welcome Dengeo’s Restaurants as the 145th recipient.
