The beef w hot peppers and mozzarella is orgasmic! Dont skip the cheese fries...perfect accomplice.
Terence ChanSeptember 23, 2018The salad was better than their “jumbo” dog. Disappointed in this historic joint that’s supposed to represent a real Chicago dog 2.5/5
Avinash SalgamAugust 21, 2014Tough to leave this place, you could eat it breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Someone wrote that all u get here is a hot dog or beef. No true. The burgers are freaking yummy. Mmmmm....
Can never go wrong with their cheese fries! Try it with a hot dog.
Rob RickardDecember 12, 2011You are on Chicago. Order the Italian Beef sandwich or a chicago style hot dog.
Chopped salad. Period. It is THE BEST salad I've ever had.
James StubblefieldAugust 9, 2014Don't get into the wrong line. It is easy to get confused as to where you can order what.
