    The food here is good! Everything is A la carte, and a bit pricy, but you'll love the amount of freshly deep-fried fries. If you're out late, and in the area stop by, you'll be glad you did.

    Good Chicago style hot dog. Wish it had the classic neon green relish. Chili cheese fries are huge and tasty. Clean and fast.

    Good place for a Vienna Beef Hot Dog. The only negative is you have to repeat your order at least 3 times before you check out.

    I miss The Clark Dog! I'll be back in Chicago in January at the latest, and it's a guarantee that I'll stop by a time or two.

    The pizza puffs and chili dogs are just what one needs to combat the alcohol from the bars!

    The fries weren’t hot🙁. I should have said something. That being said fries need to be made fresh or if premade warmed in the fryer

    Get the double cheeseburger and add bacon. Ask for it extra crispy followed by a wink. They like winks ;)

    $10 minimum on credit cards, so you have to get at least three orders of fried macaroni bites. Not that that's a bad thing.

    Terrible food that was way overpriced. Do not recommend. Veggie dog was cod and bun was falling apart. Patrons were drunk inside mid week.
