    Best polish in the city

    Best polish in the city. The owner gets his specially made for this location, never and nasty gristle like you get on Roosevelt. Been here about 20 times and same experience every time. Ask for your polish "extra heavy".

    Outside the best Hotdog joint in Chicago! Great food & great service!

    Quick fresh and hot. Fries and a polish for 5 bucks what a deal. For 1.25 add a coke you got you a quick meal.

    Thanks Yelp for the suggestion! We're in Chicago to go to the National Museum of Mexican Art and…read morewanted to grab breakfast. Found this place on yelp and headed over. At first it's confusing because it's inside of another restaurant, but don't let that scare you! Totally brilliant. Hubs got the burrito and I got the sausage egg sandwich on brioche. Bite one...OH MY GOD THAT'S AMAZING! Small but fresh menu, super friendly owner and staff, AAAANNNDDDDDDD they were making 300 breakfast sandwiches to give out to neighbors Definitely an AMAZING hidden gem!

First, I really appreciate how well packaged everything was. Second, it arrived in perfect and steaming hot condition . Thirdly, the portion was actually insane . I stg 5 bites in I gave it up lol. To be fair I'm not the biggest eater but I loooove a good meal and this was just that! Also please don't be fooled by the angle of the fries, i had already eaten some and i assure you it was full to the top. I ordered the smash burger and added caramelized onions and bacon because bacon . I also fries with a side of cheese sauce(gotta have it ) the first bite almost 100% healed me. This thing was HEAVY ! I appreciate when I can taste the freshness of ingredients . The cheese was a stand alone star all by itself . I know I say this allll the time but it's true. It's my first experience but it will not be my last. My total was 25.28 before tip and 39.26 after. Thanks so much guys and keep up the great work and consistency!

    My friends and I came to Mars for a book club meeting and wow, it was such a vibe. I did not expect…read moreto like it this much. The area initially threw me off a bit. It is surrounded by factories and buildings that look a little abandoned, so it feels a little sketchy pulling up. But once you walk inside, it is a completely different experience. The space is beautiful, with a great layout, a central bar, and plenty of seating. It is mostly seat yourself, and you order drinks at the bar, but they do bring food out to you and clear your table. The staff was friendly and took the time to explain how everything works, which I appreciated. Now the food. So good. I have had a favorite taco spot for the past few months, but this place honestly raised the bar. They are known for their fried cheese tacos and they absolutely live up to the hype. The shrimp was delicious and the sauce reminded me of a seafood boil, rich and flavorful. The salsa verde was also great. I also had the fries topped with fried cheese, cilantro, and onions, and they were just as good. Everything smelled amazing and everyone at the table loved their food. One thing I really loved is their drink options. They have great cocktails, but also offer well crafted mocktails that feel just as intentional. On top of that, they have THC and CBD drinks, which really adds to the relaxed, laid back vibe. Overall, it is a great place to sit, hang out, and enjoy good food and drinks for as long as you want. I will definitely be back.

    Marz has a wide range of offerings, from beers and cocktails to sodas and NA options. Their food is…read morealways good. The OKC smash burger with grilled onions is standout. It's thoughtfully assembled and packed with flavor in every bite. The fries could be more interesting, but that's a minor nitpick. The steak tacos are well-seasoned, and the house-made salsas complement them perfectly. Free parking, retro arcade games, and events almost every night, like trivia, music bingo, and even Sunday yoga, make this awesome spot.
