Kind of expensive for just one hot dog and cheese fries, and the cheese was thicker than I'm used to.

After a heavy night, go to the wiener's circle and get the chocolate shake. it's $20, but worth every penny!

They have mediocre food, and the women are rude...but if you didn't know that before you walked in then what the hell are you going here for in the first place?

Ketchup is never found on a Chicago-style dog. As Clint Eastwood’s character in the movie Sudden Impact put it, "Nobody - I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog!" Read more

Ask for the pepperoni pizza.

Mary HelenSeptember 12, 2011
A woman here physically threatened me because I returned a burger I ordered. I didn't even say anything, just left it on the counter. It's sad that a place like this exists in our society today.
Mig PascualDecember 14, 2009
