    On the hunt today for a good Chicago dog or possible Italian beef and came across Windy City Dogs. I'm kicking myself for somehow letting this one slip under the radar for so long.. That changes after today. After talking with the owner they've been here for 12 years. I will say I don't frequent El Mirage much besides a few taco spots. So this was a good change of pace. The spot was easy to find and located right in the same parking lot as the neighboring skate park.parking was easy. We were not only greeted right away, but we had a great chat while our food was fixed. The location is small. There are a few seats at a high top and one table, but for the most part all seating is outside or take home and eat. We wanted to try not only the Chicago dogs, but the Italian beef as well which we got with the hot peppers. They offer many side options like fried. Onion rings and more, but we stuck with the three main items and some bottled waters. Drinks are all bottled. Gatorade, monsters you name it. That's awesome of you're at the park on a hot day and need a drink or two. Our food was ready quick, prices fair and I was excited to dig in. The Italian beef looked, smelled and most importantly was delicious! Bread was made well and wasn't instantly soggy. I loved it came with Aus Ju to dip it in. Hands down my favorite. The hot dog was great as well. Peppers good, pickle crispy and tomato's good. We will definitely be back. Great service, food and we left full and happy. What other spots are hiding in El Mirage? Let me know!

    Yelp this place because I wanted a Chicago Dog. When I arrived i was asked to wait while they finished marking cups of ranch, which seemed like it could have been continued after I left since there was no one else in the building. After I ordered i turned to find a seat and thats when I saw the sign, seats are for waiting, all food orders are to go. Being in sales, so far it seemed like everything about this place was very anti-customer. Received my order, timing was decent and server was friendly. My spicy polish was good, chili cheese fries not so much. Knowing this place is takeout only, I probably won't be back.

    Really great food. Always hot and the shaved ice is tasty. It's located in a nice quiet park with a baseball field, soccer field, splash pad, and skate park. There are no indoor tables but plenty of seating right outside. Also be aware there is no indoor door restrooms.

    Wife and I went there today and you can no longer eat inside. You have to eat your food outside too damn hot to be doing that.

It was almost $10 just for that item by itself they definitely need to have combos available and for the prices drinks should automatically be included with every purchase. The staff were very friendly, clean & decor is bright. I asked the staff if they had an app available and they said they do not which we were surprised because the regular Wetzel have an app but they do not. I would suggest for them to get an app, and also to have drinks included with every purchase due to the prices and to have combos available and also specials throughout the week and or around special holidays.

    No one's doing it like Angie's! I was in the area and heard about their $4.99 salads through an…read moreemail I got today. I'm not a lobster fan but they have so many options besides that, including shrimp, other seafood, salads, bowls and burritos. They offered discounted salads last year and I loved supporting them, so I'm glad they brought them back. I came at a great time, around 430, as there was no line. I ordered my favorite: the Asian salad (cucumbers, sweet potatoes, red onions, broccoli) with grilled chicken, half spinach half romaine. I also got their spicy honey ranch salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, fried onions, corn, pepper jack cheese) with falafel, same base. The second salad comes with a ranch packet *and* a spicy honey packet, very generous. I enjoy the mix of flavors and textures of both of these salads. I ate one same day and saved the other for the next day (I've asked for protein on the side to make it easier to heat up). The employee who took my order and gave me my food was friendly. Make sure you have a credit/debit card or phone because no cash is accepted. The only off thing was that I was given forks in my bag, which hasn't happened before. They're big on sustainability and don't have straws, napkins and silverware are available by choice. Such a great deal and it's a filling meal. Definitely recommend Angie's and really hope they open up more locations, especially near me!

When I pulled up to look at the menu it was pretty messed up and half of it missing. I was inside of the process to do much choosing. I pulled a bit further up to see a sign to order and pay on your own. It's basically all self service. There is another menu that actually has the entire option of proteins etc on the wall above the order intercom. Service was okay. The girl taking my order seemed to be annoyed. Once at the window a guy just handed me the bag. The water I asked for was already on the outside counter. The foo was good, but service was much to be desired . Vibe is pretty meh considering the menu board pulling up was in disarray and just a drive thru.

Cooked just right. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Excellent, fresh flavor! As it is prepared to order, expect about a 15 minute wait time for the chicken... but WELL worth that wait, as it turned out. Fries and Onion Rings sides were PERFECT, and tastier than most. Interesting, varied menu, too! Very generous portions... and the chicken pieces were real, actual sized pieces of chicken... not like the canary-sized tidbits served up by today's fried chicken chain outlets! Although the seating area was VERY small (store front operation,) the facilities were bright, clean and well maintained. The staff was welcoming, patient and most helpful as we worked our way through their surprisingly large, and varied menu! Reasonably priced, too! Overall... a happy find... and now one of our go-to favorites! Just wish they had a LOT more locations closer (to us!) Surprise/Sun City areas would benefit from having closer access to Outta Bronx sandwich/hot dog/wings/Krispy Krunchy chicken locations! I think it would catch on in no-time... assuming today's quality, and value, remained the same, of course. I'm, generally, hard to please... but Outta Bronx/Krispy Krunchy chicken seems to hit it on all cylinders! VERY pleased. Mark us down as huge fans!
