    Chicago style hot dog

    This is a great mom and pop shop. The guy is hilariously sarcastic and the for is made fresh. We're just in the area 2 days, we ate today and are planning to return tomorrow for lunch! Delicious!!

    Cheeseburger- 5/5 - made to order, fresh ingredients-meat, cheese, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup, mustard, mayo
    Nena C.

    This mom and pop place is going to be my Go To burger spot. Even though they are known for their Broasted chicken (which I still need to try), my boyfriend was craving a wholesome burger, so I scoured Yelp and Google for a place. I found this one - which wasn't even listed on Yelp. It's a cash only spot that's been there for ages. The owners are a married couple who take your order, cook your food, and ring you up. It's a two person dream team. When you arrive, you tell the man what you'd like (chicken, hot dog, or burger) and he starts putting it together. If you order a burger, he puts out two buns and then has you tell him what you want on it (similar to subway/chipotle), so you know your order will be correct. When you order fries, the woman takes them out of the fridge and puts them in the oil. When they're done cooking, the man hold up the salt shaker and asks you whether you want any ( this is great for customers who can't have much salt). Then the woman rings you up. For two cheeseburger meals, with one cheese fry, and one regular fry (plus extra added for our dog), and two drinks the total was about $14. The cheeseburger 5/5 - cooked to order - fresh ingredients - perfect proportion of condiments : mustard, ketchup, and Mayo - the patty may be skinny, but it wasn't over cooked; there was even a little pink (I usually order rare to med rare, and believe me having any pink in a thin patty is nigh impossible). It was also a large diameter. My guess is it was 1/4 - 1/3lb of meat. - other toppings : lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles The cheese fries: 4+/5 - Crinkle cut - made to order - salted per your liking - the cheese sauce is actually like a really good nacho cheese. It's not spicy. It's warm. But I was expecting melted cheese, not a sauce, which is why I deducted a star. If I had known going into it that it was a cheese sauce, I still would have ordered it. And the cheese sauce is good, but I just wish I knew ahead of time that it was a sauce. The lemonade: 3.5/5 - this is not from a fountain, which I was stoked about - I'm not sure if this is homemade or not - It wasn't too sweet - it was good, and I would get it again. It wasn't the best lemonade I've had, but it was far better than most. I will definitely be back. I need to try their chicken, but whenever I'm having a burger craving, this will be where I go. Tip: fried chicken takes 15 mins to make no matter if you order 2 pieces or 50, so the owner recommends calling ahead.

    Broasted chicken and broasted potatoes
    Jackie B.

    I came here for the broasted chicken because I heard it was good and it was amazing, the best I had in the area. I got the broasted potatoes as the side and love them. Service was great. The only thing I didn't know in advance is it's a cash only business and I wasn't prepared and had to go to the nearest atm. I definitely will be going back again and again.

    Gyro is overly stuffed!!! Taste great!!!…read moreFrench fries are amazing . Pizza puff was only 350. Love it! Big baby was 450 and tastes just as good at a 6 dollar big baby from Chicago . I love this place . My only complaint is there is 1 worker there that will ignore you while you struggle to put the white bag into a thicker brown paper bag. Every worker grabs the white bag and puts it in there for me. She just straight up ignored me. I asked for a brown bag she slide it to me and walked away. But every other worker is so sweet and friendly. Don't ever stop , you guys are amazing

    This unassuming diner is well worth the try. If you're looking for a cheers type atmosphere this is…read morenot your place however. They are friendly, but they are very businesslike. Once you get past that though they do almost everything well. I have never been disappointed by the food. I love the skin on french fries! The gyro plate is huge. And the hotdog special can't be beat. Often there is a wait to order. It doesn't really matter usually because they put the food out so fast. A quick note: I have been seeing the same faces at this place for years. It's a good feeling to know that I am supporting a local establishment with local roots. If you are looking for a quick bite, that may not necessarily meet strict dietary guidelines, you should really give this place a try. Hopefully you'll like it every bit as much as I do.
