    I know you may be just a visitor, but it is really important that you don't put ketchup on your hot dog. the natives get really upset about this particular issue.

    Yes, a real Chicago Dog, however cheap buns are used & split at hinge instantly, everything falls thru. Cutting corners, trying to save a few cents. Dogs are pre-cooked, sitting in a pile.

    Service can be a bit slow when you order something slightly unusual like a chicken sausage or turkey dog. But the cashier makes sure you're taken care of. Tasty grub

    Be sure to order the Chicago Dog with all the fixings, fries & a coke any time of the day. It's the best meal ever!

    Steamed dog is traditional, even though it’s much larger than usual.

    The gyro is the best thing on the menu! Try it with the hot peppers. It's good, but messy. Get extra napkins.

    The char dog is great, it's just a small crowded place to get your food...

    This place is a mess in the morning. Several people cut in line, they forgot my order and were suspicious when I asked about it, and the bagel was adequate if flavorless. Good coffee, though.

    Pizza came out pretty decent for being pre-made and reheated. Skip those giant muffins though.

    Skip the Italian Combo, beef is good but sausage is not that great. Go with a straight beef. Friendly staff.

    The dog and toppings aren't that bad, they just need bigger, more durable buns that don't break apart.

    My bacon egg & cheese bagel tasted like dishwashing liquid. Staff is rude & has no sense of urgency. $6 for soapy food? F you.

    Yeah, avoid the cheese. Seriously gross. Otherwise, burger was ok, except too much grill char

    This place is gross. The workers are grimey. You're better off going to McD's next door.
