T LSeptember 25, 2011Don't forget to add a side of cheese for the fries and the italian beef sandwich.
Stuart KohlApril 10, 2011Get a dog, get an Italian beef but also get a tamale on the side. They are amazing.
Great Place to take out of towners!!! Felt a lil rushed but its a fun place!! Need to try everything on the menu!!
Margot BloomsteinOctober 6, 2012"Chocolate cake shake." When every word is right, the combination can't be wrong.
Anamaria HernandezNovember 19, 2013Get a cake shake. Your taste buds will thank you. Your waistline, not so much.
- Here's what you say: Italian beef, dipped, hot. Large fry, side of cheese.
Jeff EarlyNovember 24, 2015Please...yes I wasted 3 characters on that and the explanation. This is so average it should not even rate here. There are a hundred better mom & pops out there. Support smaller better businesses.
Italian beef with hot and sweet peppers, and cant forget the cheese sauce! Thats where its at!
Catriona HunterNovember 21, 2013Whatever you do, do not put ketchup on your Chicago style hot-dog. It's a major faux-pas.
