Dine for Less Than $10 a Person at This Iconic Hot Dog Spot in Illinois

There's something to be said for a humble hot dog stand. And there's no shortage of delicious hot dog stands in Illinois.

These humble eateries are the kind of places where you can feed your whole family without breaking the bank. They usually have a limited menu, but prepare every single item to order. What they do, they do it well!

This is especially true when you're in a state that loves hot dogs as much as Illinois does. However, some hot dog stands abide by the "more is more" mantra, which I appreciate. I'm talking hot dog joints that offer comfort classics like pizza and even homemade gelato!

Joey's Red Hots in Orland Park, Illinois, is one such hot dog stand. It has an absolutely massive menu, and the best part is, you can still eat a full meal there without putting too much of a dent in your wallet!

The easiest way to do this is to stick to ordering from the Value Menu, where nothing is over $10. You can choose from 10 different options, including hot dogs, corndogs, a gyro, Italian beef, or a pork chop sandwich.

Each of these meals comes with a side of fries and a 12-ounce drink of your choice.

If the value menu at Joey's Red Hots in Orland Park, Illinois, doesn't speak to you, don't worry -- there are tons of other options.

There are Mexican options, pasta options, and even barbecue ribs! The pasta menu alone looks incredible, with 14 different types of noodles to choose from, including a gluten-free option!

And if you're feeling like a pizza pie, you're at the right place because reviewers say the pizza is spectacular.

Here you'll find three different pizza styles: Chicago-style thin crust, pan pizza, and stuffed pizza. And the fresh toppings? The options are seemingly endless.

Another one of my favorite things about Joey's Red Hots in Orland Park, Illinois, is that you won't have to go somewhere else for dessert! This cute hot dog stand makes homemade gelato and Italian ice -- the perfect way to finish a hearty meal!

Joey's Red Hots has seven locations throughout the state of Illinois. The Orland Park spot is especially noteworthy because that town has a bit of unusual history. Twenty years ago, one of the most credible UFO sightings in the country happened here! You might want to bring along an instant camera, just in case. We hear UFOs don't show up too well on a camera phone.
