Local Business Spotlight Video: Jake’s Pup in the Ruf in Uptown, Chicago

IRPINO Real Estate Presents our Local Business Spotlight series featuring local businesses in Chicago’s Uptown and Buena Park neighborhoods.

Hot Dogs, Broasted Chicken, and Over 60 Years of Tradition at Jake’s Pup in the Ruf

For our September Local Business Spotlight, we’re shining a light on a true Uptown classic: Jake’s Pup in the Ruf (4401 North Sheridan Rd.). Family-owned and operated since 1959, Jake’s has been serving up their famous Vienna Beef hot dogs and crispy broasted chicken for generations. Dominic has been coming here for over 26 years, and like so many Uptown neighbors, he considers it more than just a restaurant—it’s a community staple. Located right in the heart of Uptown, Jake’s is one of those places where, if you live here, you know.

Watch the full interview to hear their story and see why Jake’s Pup in the Ruf remains a local favorite after more than 60 years.

Special thanks to our partner QHI Media for helping with all our video needs.
