Best cheese fries in the world! Always remember to get them "for here". Yes, even if your leaving, otherwise the bag they give you becomes a cheesy uneatable mess!

Order a burger, sit back, and watch the crazy unfold.

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

Blatant cursing and good hot dogs. Don't forget to order the fries too.

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

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.
Teddy C.April 27, 2012
