The crispy chicken Caesar wrap hit the spot! I got it to go and ate it at home but the chicken was…read morestill crispy and was what I was craving! I also ordered a small side of Greek fries but it was underwhelming. The feta wasn't very good and the fries were watery at the bottom of the container - maybe because I got takeout and the condensation made them moist. Would definitely recommend the normal fries or a different fried side next time. Still very happy with the chicken wrap though and will definitely be back to try the gyro and other goodies! Update: I came back again for dinner the next day LOL it was so good and all I could think about was that chicken wrap... so for dinner tonight I got another chicken wrap with fried pickles. Got takeout and they were perfectly warm and crispy by the time I got home. My husband got a Philly cheesesteak which was also perfectly warm once we got back to eat! We paired it with a slice of carrot cake :) 5 stars all around... and will probably be back again soon for another chicken wrap. The prices are SO great too!

The real highlight for me, though, was the chocolate cake -- incredibly soft, rich, chocolatey, and moist. It was the perfect dessert after dinner. The restaurant itself is super cool and full of old Chicago memorabilia and vintage items that make the place feel unique and fun to explore. If you're visiting town, it's worth stopping by just for the atmosphere alone. They also have a huge food selection and a full bar, so there's something for everyone. The service was great, and despite how busy the place can get, they have plenty of lines for self-service and ordering at the counter, which keeps things moving smoothly. Overall, a really fun spot to grab food while visiting Chicago.

The atmosphere, history, and overall hype surrounding it definitely add to the experience. However, in my personal opinion, the ambience and reputation outweighed the actual quality of the food! I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich combo along with a classic hot dog. The customer service itself was actually very nice and prompt. The cashier helping me was friendly enough to let me sample their spicy chipotle-style sauce/spread that comes with the chicken sandwich, and honestly, that sauce was delicious. That said, I have to admit the hot dog itself was pretty underwhelming. I know Chicago-style hot dogs are iconic, but I personally felt like I've had better-tasting hot dogs from a Dodger Dog or even Costco. The relish here tasted oddly artificial to me -- almost like a strange paste consistency that I just couldn't get into. Maybe it's just my Los Angeles taste buds talking, but honestly, some of the best hot dogs I've had are from the street vendors off Hollywood Boulevard with the grilled onions, bell peppers, mustard, mayo, ketchup... you know exactly the kind I'm talking about!! Overall, I'd still recommend trying this place at least once simply because it's such a well-known Chicago institution, but for me personally, the food didn't fully live up to the hype.....

I follow Johnny on IG so knew I wanted to try this (secretly hoping he'd be there so I could fan girl him!) . Alas he wasn't there but the beef was!

The young gal working the counter was very helpful and I thought the place was clean and well stocked. The slot room threw me for a loop

The Superdawg is iconic for a reason, and the Whoopskidawg has the perfect smoky flavor with all the toppings. Also, people do not talk enough about the sides here. The Super Veggies are honestly one of my favorite sides anywhere, and the onion chips are dangerously addictive. Crispy, salty, and perfect with their sauces. Beyond the food, I love that it still feels old-school Chicago with the drive-in setup and giant hot dog mascots on the roof. It's nostalgic in the best way and somehow still lives up to the hype every single time.

The chicken strips were perfectly crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. You can tell they're made fresh -- not dry at all, just tender and flavorful with that golden crunch in every bite. The fries were just as good -- hot, crispy, and the perfect base for that cheese sauce. Speaking of the cheese... so smooth and rich, it honestly made the whole meal even better. And the devil sauce?? SO good. It has that perfect balance of heat and flavor -- not overwhelming, but definitely gives a little kick that keeps you going back for more. Everything together was just one of those simple but so satisfying meals. Perfect portions, great flavor, and exactly what you want when you're craving comfort food. Definitely would order this again -- no question.
