- Lindsay Peabody (Trombatore)November 20, 2013Of course they don't have ketchup! Hot dogs....in Chicago. Come on, man! The hot dog (or double if you dare) with fries doesn't have ketchup, because it doesn't NEED ketchup. Get a tamale too! ;)
- Serious EatsSeptember 26, 2011Put Fries on a Hot Dog. The best way to eat them is stacked directly atop. They're made with freshly cut potatoes fried in vegetable oil with a touch of beef fat, which adds a welcome savory element. Read more

- Richard SusantoJuly 13, 2013It's next to MaccaD on river road. Compare the crowd on these two junk food places. As much as I try my best to eat healthy food, I never say no to their dogs and fries. Da best!
- Dieter KurtenbachFebruary 14, 2011Mustard only. The best hotdog in the city. Order with everything, because it excludes the tomatoes and the pickle. One will fill you, two will bust you. Fries are excellent as well. Cheap, A+ meal.

- Douglas SibleyJune 15, 2014Watching them cut a whole potato with the skin on then frying it for your order of fries is really tight!
- So Far this is my favorite. It will probably be. They serve the hot dogs I grew up with, except "no catsup". A concept that is hard to swallow (tic), but the dogs are still great.
- They do everything right... from hot dogs, fries and corn tamales. Grape drink is a must, as well.
- So worth the hour drive from Indiana. Just remember to bring cash.
