    Had a chili dog here- outstanding with cheese, chili and onion. The accompanying fries were some of the best I have tasted( secret is removing starch and then cooking them). Overall, a worthwhile find that will be repeated next time I am in the area. Friendly service and very clean- Go Bears, Sox, Cubs and Blackhawks- everything inside is Second City related.

    Best dogs in town are at Tony's. A true "mom and pop" shop feel. Never a very long wait and if there is, it's completely worth it. This place has not only dogs but the burgers hit too. They sausage and all different types of chicken and beef sandwiches. Also, the fries here absolutely the wicked. Don't miss the joint if you're in town or in the area. Plenty of high tops to sit down and a great homey vibe with plenty of Chicago memories and memorabilia around. A must try!

    This is my favorite, full stop! Food cooked to order. The fries are crazy amazing and the service is old school welcome in. You won't be disappointed. Prices are the best you'll find. One last thing "The Beef" sandwich is fire

    I know I give a lot of 5 star but when I do they deserve it. Being a Chicago boy I can absolutely say this place is legit. I had the beef extra with hot and it's great. My wife had the slaw dog and she said it was good. As for the atmosphere it made me feel like I was back home in the hole in the wall places I used to eat. The folks there served us just like I expected to be if I was back in Chicago. This is a must if you like Chicago beef, hotdogs or burgers.

    Stopped by after day at the beach and didn't want a franchise chain restaurant. It was like walking into Chicago with all the memorabilia . Tony was a great guy , really enjoyed the two dog special and beer . The beef sandwiches smelled amazing and had a bite from my wife's burger that was good .

    This place is the best small business restaurant in the area. Father and son owned I believe. Go there! The inside is so personal and Chicago oriented. Coolest Nic knacks hanging on the walls. They have the most authentic Chicago style hotdogs.and Chicago everything.

    Haven't been since 2023, cannot believe I never reviewed it. Love the Italian beef. My favorite Chicago-style place in SRO.

    I used to visit this location several times a week. A few weeks ago, I had an issue with my order…read moreand called simply to report it, hoping it might help improve service. I asked for nothing--no credit, no replacement. Instead of a quick apology and thanks, two supervisors (already mentioned in other complaints) sarcastically asked if I wanted a job application so I could show them how to prepare the food. Worse, they pulled up my caller ID, stated my name, and even referenced how many points I had in their app--an invasion of privacy that customers should be aware of. After contacting corporate, the owner left one voicemail with no apology and no attempt to understand the concern. When I called back, I was told he is rarely at the store and didn't know when he'd return. I left a message asking for a call back--two weeks later, still no response. Corporate then informed me the store had closed the case as "resolved." There is something seriously wrong at this location. Like others have noted, I will be avoiding it going forward. If this is how they treat customers over the phone, I would not trust the food they are responsible for preparing.

    Decided we try a different Greek restaurant since are go to closed down. Nestled in a Publix Plaza…read morenear Clark Road. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Food was delicious. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. Loved the side Greek salad and especially the homemade potato salad. My wife had the Hummus as her side and liked it. The only downer was the pita bread it was on the stiff side. The lady,who takes your order at the counter, was a sweetheart. Pretty cold modern interior with groceries and a refrigerator in the front for drinks and different foods. Portions and prices are very good. Can't wait to come back and try other menu items.

    Great little spot for lunch or dinner. My wife and I were craving Mediterranean after a quick day…read moreat the beach and we decided to stop by. The inside of the place has a few refrigerators and shelves with middle eastern/mediterranean cold food and canned goods. The restaurant is a small ordering desk with a few rows of seats along the wall and towards the back. My wife and I shared the Sahara Meza Platter and I got a Chicken Lebanese Pita Wrap. All the food tasted great, especially the Meza platter items (I'm a huge fan of Baba Bhanouj). We also got an extra side of garlic sauce (had to ask for it specifically I think) to add on to the wrap. Only thing I would say was missing was some hot sauce/chili paste to add some heat onto the food. Definitely a fan and will be back!
