Who We Are

"What a difference, what a difference, what a difference a little difference can make"

Legit Dogs and Ice is a family-owned business, created by some native Chicagoans who made Elgin their home.
You may have noticed that our little food-joint has kind of a skater-punk vibe. As a matter of fact, when you visit us, it's practically a tour of American punk: East Coast to Midwest to West Coast -- embodied in vintage skateboard decks and tributes to bands across America.

Back in the day, before mall fashion shops and social media made it trendy, punk rock used to be dangerous. It signaled you were an individual who refused to conform -- a person with a strong-will & common sense who challenged the status quo.  It seems like we’ve spent the better part of the past few decades trying to “play-the-game,” trying to fit in, while pursuing our dreams.  We kept smiles on our faces as we tried to appease all the experts and armchair quarterbacks, as they told us all the things we should and couldn’t do.  Finally, we just decided to stop listening to the naysayers, stopped playing by the establishment rules and chose to create our own unique path.
