Hippo’s Restaurant is a successful “Chicago Style” hot dog and sandwich restaurant, based in Troy MI, serving satisfied guests for over 23 years. Unique to the Detroit metropolitan area, Hippo’s Restaurant’s “Chicago Style” theme and menu offer restaurant goers a “taste” of an enormously popular and well loved dining fare enjoyed by millions in the Chicago area.

Hippo’s Restaurant began over 23 years ago in the Detroit area as the brainchild of a transplanted Chicago native, and with the support and “labor of love” efforts of many of the founding Lukas family, this genuine authentic “Chicago Style” restaurant has grown-up to be a much-loved and enduring dining mainstay in the Detroit area.

A wildly popular catering service has also grown to be a huge part of the Hippo’s business identity and overall success. Clients range from individuals with party needs for home, to Fortune 500 companies looking to feed thousands.

Recently, Hippo’s has opened its second location in Clinton Township MI, 23 years after the first Hippo’s started in Troy. This new Hippo’s carries on the tradition of having the best hot dogs the “Chicago Style” theme has to offer.

Hippo’s, while using only authentic Chicago products and ingredients from Chicago based companies such as Vienna Beef; Gonnella Bakery; Supreme Tamales; and Fontanini Meats, it also commits to purchasing only the freshest Michigan and locally grown produce for its operations.
