hot dogs and fries and drink combo was good. The hot dogs had chicago style ingredients like peppers and mustard. The fries were good. They had Pepsi fountain drinks. The staff was helpful read more

Note to self: stick to the hot dogs next time. I had a massive craving for a Philly cheesesteak, and Mr. C's was the closest spot. Big mistake. The sandwich was totally bland--no seasoning, no flavor, just nothing. I really should've driven the extra miles to Jersey Mike's to get my fix. Lesson learned! read more

We had a large group order for lunch and they were so sweet and accommodating! It didn't take too long either. When we got back to the office, the food was on point! We all enjoyed what we ordered...I had the Greek salad with gyro meat (so so good - perfect balance of greens, veggies, and meat) , French fries w/cheese dip (so so good...like fried perfectly and crispy on the outside...I barely ate my cheese dip). Whenever I'm in the area, I'll return! And I loved all the Chicago sports memorabilia! read more

Got stuck at the Chevy dealer longer than expected. Walked over for a hot dog and fry. First thing,sign at entry door says$11.50 for 2dog special,but when you get to register small sign says $12.50. WTF ? Idiot taken orders is more interested in his phone than taken the order right. Had to repeat my order 3 times,which made me question if it will be right. Fries were correct,but the dogs were GROSS, seemed as if they had been in the water way too long, mushy ! The pickle spear was so small,I just had to laugh. This place is a joke !!! When you walk in the front door,you can enjoy the smell of sewer, as it is disgusting,since you're there to eat. Save your money,go somewhere else,as you can see from my prior posts,nothing has changed in a year. What is the owner doing or thinking allowing the business to operate like this and under these conditions. I won't ever return to this location , don't care what the specials are ! Hope this business closes soon !! read more

I was a customer here. I also drive for doordash. I was assigned two orders to pick up from this place today. The kid at the counter handed me cups and told me to fill the cups for the customers. Doordash frowns upon this. We do not have food safety certification and we've been driving possibly not washing our hands. I personally would not want a doordash driver to fill my drink at a restaurant. Doordash doesn't want us to do it either. But this kid was so full of himself that he decided he was not going to go around the counter and fill these drinks for me and instead contacted doordash and tried to get me in trouble. Without looking into the matter, doordash took the orders away from me. On my way back to my car the same two orders popped up offering me to deliver. I walked back into the place and told the kid that I was sent back to pick them up again and he refused to give me the orders. He thought he was pretty funny and he was being a real jerk. I called doordash and within a couple minutes I was reimbursed for my time very satisfactorily. Unfortunately, the two customers that I was supposed to deliver to had to wait a very long time for their delivery because this little kid was a jerk. I hope the owner reads this because I've been going there for years as a customer. I'm also a doordash customer, and if I knew that my order was delayed by nearly a half an hour and probably cold because this little jerk had to be a tough guy, I would be pissed. The owner of this place should be pissed because that kid just jeopardized multiple customers from ever coming back, including me. What a little s*** head.. read more

While the service was great, the food really wasn't. First bite of my burger and I could tell it was a frozen patty. Mozzarella sticks and fries were average at best. It also wasn't overly clean. Had to settle for the 'most clean' table we could find. All that, along with almost $45 for the food. Unfortunately, I would not return. read more

The barbecue ribs were incredibly delicious and cooked perfectly, so tender that the bones slipped out effortlessly. I'll leave the taste test up to you, but be prepared to dig in with your fingers! Plus, the staff were very respectful and welcoming. read more

Excellent service Excellent food. The Grilled chicken sandwich is very fresh and tender. I've been here many a time and never been disappointed. DM read more

Staff friendly, great food fresh burger never frozen, best gyros. Ribs, rib, tips, coleslaw, mac and cheese are all homemade in store

Great quality food. Everything I've ordered is delicious. The service is great. I highly recommend.

Place is a little outdated but the service and food are amazing, ive been going here for a couple years and never disappoints

Excellent food exceptional service!! Went to pick up my lunch walked in & ready right on time!!

The Food was Not good and the girl in the front wasn't listening to me as l ordered a bunch of stuff small portions and very expensive! Not going back food was bland too!! read more

What a gem. Cute little unassuming place with a great menu and great staff. The tamales were excellent and the dogs were excellenter. Very glad I stopped by. read more

They have delicious Italian beef sandwiches, awesome crunchy, breaded mushrooms. I was very impressed with my order. The ranch was delicious. They dipped my beef with hot peppers and cheese. It was wet like I like it and I ate the whole thing it was to die for: you have a try to Mr. C's give it a try delicious I'll definitely be back.!!! read more

Good hot fogs. Fast friendly service. . A bit pricy, but what isn't noe days. The ambience is ok

I've lived in Elgin since 2015 and Mr. C's is near our house. When we first moved in they were so good, but have since went way downhill. The menu is no longer accurate, the 1/2 Greek chicken meal used to be great, but now they skim almost all of the meat off of the chicken breast and thigh! We continue ordering from them because we keep giving them "yet another chance" thinking that maybe it was just a mistake. However, this is their normal practice. Menu items say one thing, but when placing an order, we are told that "we no longer do that". An example of this was when we ordered Mostaccioli. The menu says that you can pay one price without meat, or another price for sausage or 2-meatballs. They now just charge separately, which would be fine if they had an accurate menu. They consistently forget to include order items that come with your meal too, such as the side salad, or the bread and butter. We are going to see if we can find another place that doesn't "cheap out" on their customers. read more

Waited 30 min for a Philly cheese steak and fries. When I received my meal it was burnt and the fries was cold. I won't be returning pretty disappointed. read more

barbeque ribs were so good and cooked so well that the bon was slipping out of them very gently and the test i leave that up to you to try and you will be visiting the review part to add mor about the testing using your fingers to dig in. not to mention very respectful people. read more

Great prices and even better food. Cheesy Beef on garlic bread is amazing! Could not recommend it enough.

This may be my new go-to hotdog stand. The prices were reasonable, they have some decent specials, and the food was good. The hot dogs were pretty standard, I thought the cheezy beef was very good, and the fries were delicious. read more

Always a good experience, kind staff and solid food options !! It's around the corner and you get a nice portion ..

5/2022 5* First time here. Just got the two hotdog special. Nothing special to note. Fries were fantastic. But the hotdog was typical a typical Vienna Hot Dog. Drinks were Pepsi which is a plus in my book. Service was good. But quite slow. Nobody waiting in front of me. One To Go order ahead of me. Took over 10 minutes to get my two hot dogs. But they were yummy. When around there again, I will be back. read more

Tasty and juicy burgers and great Chicago style hot dogs. Fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We got it all delivered by grubbub and everything was still hot and delicious!! Thank you!! read more

I used to work in an office next door to Mr C's and was a frequent and happy customer for years. I used to go in on Saturday mornings and they made an amazing bacon and egg sandwich. Their hot dogs, sausages, milkshakes, and surprisingly diverse menu are always freshly made to order. And it is super affordable. This is Mom and Pop, local cooking at its finest. My wife and I were back tonight. I had the Italian sausage and my lovely spouse had the charboiled Rowdy dog Chicago style. Both were flavorful, juicy and made to perfection. The fries were hot, crispy, and delicious. They always have cool specials too. Mr C's is most definitely worth your business!! read more

Employees who were prepping the food were NOT wearing masks. When asked about wearing masks, they began to argue that they didn't need to wear them and that it is hot in the kitchen. It is actually a law to be wearing masks--Pandemic and all. We have been customers for over 20 years. I hate that I can no longer support this local business. read more

This place is fabulous and the customer service is great. Very nice people and breath of fresh air to deal with! I think they're family owned, not 100% sure, but either way they're so nice and I like how they have hotdog Tuesday's. Which is .99 that day. That comes in handy. read more

The good was pretty good. I got the Turkey burger which was a standard burger and then I got the inferno wings and those were SUPER SPICY. I love spicy but for those who cannot tolerate spicy well DO NOT GET THESE. I have to agree with some of the comments about the staff not wearing masks. These folks need to do their part to stop the pandemic and they aren't. No plexi glass barriers around the ordering station either so the staff needs to start wearing masks. read more

Today (10/19/15) I got one of the most disgusting fries I ever ordered from a restaurant in the 20 years I been living here I wish I can post a pic cause the tips of the fries are all burned , hard texture , old looking , n when u chew one I can taste the grease This fries can't be from today cause I know what fries from the same day look like cause I been going there for a year now Well I won't quit going to get my mr burger but im stopping ordering fries What a shame read more

I had a pretty good experience here! We decided to try this place out because of the yelp deal and were not disappointed. The interior wasn't all that fancy but it was comfortable and clean. I did not have a problem dining in. The service was very good! The girl who took our order was very friendly and offered suggestions. It looked like there were a few items I wouldn't mind trying from the menu. The food was decent. We ordered chili cheese dogs and fries. They were alright. The cheese wasn't my favorite. It was nacho cheese. I would prefer a different kind of hot dog next time. The fries were decent too. I would return here since the service was good and I would like to try other things from their menu. read more

Love this place! Fresh cut fries that are crispy not soggy. I had a Ripper dog which is deep fried. They also deep fry a Polish if you want. Another tempting menu item is the pepper and egg sandwich, both the classic way or with an Italian sausage. Sounds great! Tons of menu choices here. Service is quick, efficient and friendly. They also cater and have delivery. read more

The staff is always friend, and you get your food pretty fast. The only critique is that we find the fries to be a bit oily. However, when we get home we throw them into the air fryer, on a rack, to crisp them up and drain the oil. Then all is well! It doesn't stop us from getting food there, because we enjoy everything else "as is". read more

So, I went there again twice not too long after my first review. This time we tried the Gyros Burger as well as their Gyros Platter. OMG their Gyros are awesome! :9 The fries, this time around, were hot, crispy and almost about the same par as Five Guys Fries...that's saying a lot! ;) it's a Greek family owned place, so the items like their Spinach Pie or Gyros Dinner are going to be top notch! Always met with a smile and the place is always clean and colorful! read more

There are 2 items I recommend here. And that is the Mr. C's burger and Rib tips. Burger is loaded with meat and rib tips were topped with a sauce that was tasty. Fries are just ok. I prefer my fries crispy and they were more on the soggy side. The interior has a cool old school diner vibe. But it was not exactly the cleanest diner inside. read more

Food here is very good. Gyros and fries and hotdogs are so good. Chili very good too. Had their buffalo wings which are good. And my favorite are the pizza puffs. Just like the way I remember them as a kid. What is really awesome is Tuesdays hot dogs are $.99 only best deal in town read more

I've been going to Mr. C's for a few year since I moved to Elgin over 10 years ago and was sad to hear of Mr. C's passing. And unfortunately things have been lax sense then. The other night I went in and only ONE person behind the counter was wearing their mask properly. It's obvious that the new management cares little for the safety and health of their customers! :( read more

Ordered for the first time less than a month ago and everything was great (food & service) Ordered again and 30 minutes later my order was canceled because I'm not in the delivery area all of a sudden, but living in Elgin on the opposite side of the river & it wasn't an issue before They did not even have the audacity to call and explain themselves but instead had GrubHub call to explain why read more

Definitely a lot more than hot dogs! Stopped here to appease my picky daughter who only wanted a hot dog for lunch. Imagine my surprise when I found a great assortment of food on the menu beyond the Vienna Beef hotdogs! I opted for the rib tips .. good call: a huge portion of mouthwatering ribs, creamy Mac and cheese, some of the best cole slaw I've ever had, plus a soda, all for $9! Well worth the visit! read more
