Michael BottiglieroFebruary 4, 2011You cannot get a better fast food cheeseburger anywhere else. Big beef is great, crinkle-cut fries, polish sausage, etc!
Paulo SantosSeptember 18, 2014Not a bad chicago dog, but I came here for the chocolate cake shake! 😛
FunzyApril 15, 2013the special made pizza with sausage, mushrooms, extra sauce, & extra cheese....yummy yum yum!!
Terence ChanSeptember 23, 2018The salad was better than their “jumbo” dog. Disappointed in this historic joint that’s supposed to represent a real Chicago dog 2.5/5
The beef w hot peppers and mozzarella is orgasmic! Dont skip the cheese fries...perfect accomplice.
Awesome food. Combo of Italian beef and sausage is great
Get the chocolate cake! Oh my gosh it's awesome...and cheap!

Rob RickardDecember 12, 2011You are on Chicago. Order the Italian Beef sandwich or a chicago style hot dog.
Tabitha JohnsonJuly 18, 2015The chocolate cake shake tasted like a swiss roll blended into chocolate ice cream.
Italian beef n cheese fries definitely the way to go here. Try a chocolate malt.

"One word, superdawg! RIP Morie and God bless. One of the few Chicago styles to use their own frank formula and pickled tomatoes. Great and the packaging is second to none."
