Just ordered a catering order for my family yesterday. It was fantastic! Great portion sizes and the food was amazing! Highly recommend! We ordered chicken parm with pasta, sweet peppers and a tray of meatballs. Great service, we’ll be back for other family functions! Thank you
They know how to make a good dog. Fries are tasty & crispy. Always make a stop when I am out there.
Very Very delicious! They make the food exactly how you ask them to make it. Best gyros, italian beef, fries, tater tots etc in the area
Most of the time I'm visiting my girlfriend on her break from work and need to use the bathroom...even without buying any food or drink the employees let me use the bathroom great people work there with great hearts I have ordered food there and it's always been really tasty also. Overall great place to go for great service and great people serving you great delicious food
By Far, one of the best hot dog places in the Northwest Burbs!! Its hard to find a place that serves fresh hand-cut french fries anymore ...they did not disappoint!! I actually talked to the owner about it...she's in there every morning daily to do it the right way. Cut Daily...fried once...and then re-fried when ordered....so so good!! If I am going to splurge...I want it done right!! The Chicago Dogs were perfectly steamed on poppy seed buns! My son had a shake which was really delicious...and the breaded chicken sandwich was a large piece of chicken on a brioche bun...with plenty of toppings. Very impressed...we will be back!
Good food and a decent price. You've never been disappointed with their food.
I absolutely live chi town dogs. I havent had a bad experience with the food at all. Only negative thing that I can think of to say is that the gyro is over stuffed and they put the sauce mostly on one side but not really complaining. Love it here. Quick and yummy food with good service!
Love it love it love we definitely coming back. I do recommend it.
