    Chicago style dogs!
    David V.

    The Chicago style dogs were authentic and delicious. Exactly as you would expect. The Italian sandwich wasn't as good overall. The meat seemed a bit skimpy, but was still tasty; it's a sold 4 rating. If I had based it off the dogs alone, it would've been higher.

    I moved here six months ago from downtown Chicago and was convinced nothing could come close to my old neighborhood favorites--until I tried Tony's Chicago Beef Southside. Their double cheeseburger is a knockout: flavorful, juicy, loaded with fresh ingredients, and an absolute steal at just ten bucks. The fries are everything a Chicago expat could hope for--golden, crispy, and grease‑free, with that unmistakable Al's Beef vibe (IYKYK). If I have one gripe, it's that the bun was a bit too thin to contain the hearty double and started to fall apart toward the end. Inside, the place is spotless and decked out with Chicago memorabilia, and the owner's unmistakable Windy City accent instantly made it feel like home. Four solid stars--thin bun aside, Tony's nails that authentic Chicago taste I've been missing.

    Chicago beef with hot peppers and fries

    Stopped in for a quick lunch to try their Chicago beef. Service was friendly and quick as the lunch rush hadn't yet begun. Lots of beef on the sammy and it came out hot. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area.

    Rings and fries
    gary s.

    Stopped here today for a couple of burgers rings and fries. The burgers were pretty good. The rings were almost 5 bucks for 7 rings , come on. The lady behind the bar seemed like she didn't want to be there. It wasn't service with a smile. They fixed the place up after the hurricane and it looks very cute with the thatched roof. Maybe we should have tried their Italian beef.

I sat at a counter as I was alone. The sandwich was delivered to me. Nice. It was a monster of a sandwich spilling everywhere. My mouth was watering! This sandwich is my second personal favorite and I have eaten it weekly for the past five months! I had to go to the cashier and ask for a knife and fork. The response I got was, "Oh, is it too big for you?!" LOL! My response; "no, but it is spilling out all over the place." Well, with her attitude, (snicker snicker), I decided that it was a challenge. I got half way through and I was stuffed. Holy cow this thing IS huge! Did I finish it? Damn straight I did! The down side was it was like eating water. There was barely any flavor. The bread was cold to the touch... and I would have thought that with all of that meat that it would be scrumptious. No. I grew up in Boston. I KNOW what a good Philly cheese steak is. That week, I had two more sandwiches at different locations. YUP... that's what it's supposed to taste like. I have no idea what was missing in the first mentioned one. I wish I knew because I would have kindly mentioned it to them. By the way. There is a place called Schooners that has served THE BEST Philly sandwich. It may be half the size but for two bux less you'll have the best sandwich that I have found thus far. So full of flavor it made me yearn for Boston again, even if only for the amazing food!

It's tempting to snack on popcorn and candy during a movie, but I would rather have a substantial satisfying meal before or after.

I ordered a gyro pita and side Greek salad to share with my wife and it was outstanding. When I eat their food I think "fresh ingredients." The gyro is stacked and is definitely a favorite of ours.

Nothing extraordinary, but good flavor, and generous portions. I'll definitely eat here or order from them again!

Atmosphere- This is the building part of a defunct gas station whose pumps have been long-since removed. The inside still had a bit of construction but had a few booths and some stand-up high tables. Everything was clean. Customer Service- The is an order-at-the-counter joint and a friendly young lady with a mask took my order. It was ready in maybe five minutes so no problems with the service. Food- The menu is lots of wings and burgers and dogs along with sides all in various combos. I went with the Texas Bacon Cheeseburger Combo @ $7.50. It came with two sides and I chose fries and dirty rice. I could also choose a can of soda from a couple of coolers. Even though I said my order was for here it was served in a to go bag. Of course, I've seen that before. Everything was piping hot, but I was a little surprised. Check out my picture. The portions of fries and rice were quite small. The burger was surprisingly heavy on a slightly soggy bun. I really didn't taste the small pieces of bacon, but the BBQ sauce and jalapenos got my attention. The burger was so heavy that overall, I was quite stuffed with OK food. Like lots of new joints the jury is still out. I was surprised there were no boneless wings and predict that will change. I'll give them a few weeks to get their act together. Would I visit again? Yup.
