Came to Chicago for the holiday and this place was recommended for a Chicago dog! Definitely did not disappoint! Great fries and fried mushrooms as well! Whenever I come back to visit I will always come back to this place! Customer service was great as well! They seemed happy to be working there!

The best Char Burger! I highly recommend the Char Cheddar Burger. The cheese is almost like a spread which is very pleasant. The fries are very good too. I think Superdawg has better dogs though. The service was very sweet too. Server with the Blue Hair was very sweet. Id definitely return for another burger.
