For a treat that can not be beat, enjoy the special "grilled jumbo dog with cheddar and bacon". Get it the way tge owner, Andy, recommends - mustard, grilled onions and dill pickles. (Oh, yeah, I add saurkraut.) This is what I reward myself with when I have worked too hard! Rejuvenates me every time!

Excellent American fare. Personable guys behind the counter cooking your food. Our kids loved the cheese fries in their teen years. My favorite is their Italian beef sandwich with mozzarella cheese.

Great Chicago style hotdog stand that serves merkts cheddar my favorite. Owner is always behind the counter he works fast and efficiently. This place is old school and will even hook up condiments! Great seasoned cris cut fries, hot dogs, Italian beef, gyros, and beyond. Worth going and coming back.

Oh come on if you haven't been here for the char cheddar burger you haven't lived. I know dramatic but I love this place been going here for decades? Also the criss cut fries with the cheddar is great. They use the good Wisconsin cheddar like Wiener circle. Gained a few pounds thinking about it.

The beef sandwich mighr not be Mr. Beef's, but it's as good as Al's and Portillo's. Fair prices and a 50-60's-style diner decor and feel. Some different items fron typical hot dog stands include stuffed baked potatoes, salads, and a skirt steak sandwich. They could use a few dessert options other than ice cream.
