    a sub sandwich with meat and peppers
    Olive B.

    Stopped in for an Italian beef sandwich and really enjoyed my lunch. I didn't feel like fries that day but everyone else seemed to be digging the sweet potato fries this place serves up. The beef is a good sized sammich but I thought $8 was a little steep in price. You can still get a Chicago beef for less than that at a local hot dog joint in most Chi neighborhoods. But since I am 245 Miles S of Chicago I enjoyed my sandwich and happily paid the $8. Ordered mine dipped with sweet peppers. Nice surprise they used red sweet peppers in addition to green. Reds are my favorite.

    A chargrilled Chicago Dog?  What the...
    Ron W.

    So. Is that a GRILLED Chicago dog, you ask? Well, yes. Yes it is. Did the menu mention that? Uhh. No. It didn't. Is that normal for a Chicago style hot dog? I choose not to answer that question. But I do encourage you NOT to ask anybody north of I-80. I am choosing to eat this to teach myself a lesson. Oh, by the way ... the fries were OUTSTANDING.

    Don't mess around. Eat here Awesome fast food that is extremely clean and fresh. As much as possible is made here. Staff is extremely fast and friendly. I've not had any item here that I've disliked. So far my favorite place in all of Decatur.

    Veggie burger with pepper jack
    Allison P.

    University Dogs is great! I have been multiple times with different friends and my husband, and everyone is always happy with their food. Most recently, I ordered a veggie burger and sweet potato fries, and my husband ordered the big bleu burger, which comes on a pretzel bun. As usual, all was delicious. My one real complaint about U-Dogs is that it seems to have more demand than space. There are only a few booths, and they are often full. I hope someday the restaurant will expand!

    Closed an hour early from posted hour. Was very disappointing to drive about 10 miles for nothing. Shameful indeed.

    They not only serve Dogs and brats but also really good tacos and burritos. I hit them up once a week.

    Kind of on the expensive side (everything is purchased seperately) but had a really good experience and the food was tasty.

    Great, honest, local diner spot. Solid prices, they have unique items that are near and dear to…read moretheir customers. Great history on the walls and you can tell it has great bones. Staff is experienced and friendly, super clean and comfortable. Highly recommend and will be a new go to.

    Best place to get drinks with food as far as downtown Decatur. Coney McKane's has things like…read moreburgers and hot dogs as well as some fancier items. It also has a few options for vegetarians. A kind of cramped place so it always has a crowd. The prices aren't that bad for the quality and service. A lack of fancier restaurants around here in a town that mostly has chains. It's more of a kind of classier sports bar and grill. The atmosphere is pretty good because it's one of the few happening places around here. A place where one can watch a game and get craft cocktails as well as well cooked burgers. There's also plenty of meal sized salads for healthier options. It's about $12 for a basic cocktail. They have a pretty okay amount of spirits including whiskeys. It's about $10 for an Impossible Burger. We got these and had to choose our toppings. Also these come with a side such as fries. Pretty good amount of food for an okay price. Among the other items on the menu is fish. They have plenty of burgers as well as Po Boy sandwiches. Also there's soups and plenty of shareable appetizers. They also have desserts such as pie. For sure it's one of the nicer restaurants in the area. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. There's lots of meaty options and some things for vegetarians.
