Visited on May 14, 2021 Mmm...mm...MMM! When visiting, as we often do (my daughter and I visit family), gotta take advantage of what Chi-town is known for: Chicago dog! Never been to this dive before. Only drive thru is open. They take cash as well as card. My sister, her son and my daughter and I all had the special: two Chicago dogs and fries. Hot dog was loaded, juicy and warm. Fries were crispy. Oh man, so, so mouth watering delicious! Simple but so good! Overall: I wanna another hot dog!!!! Whaaaaaa! :-) Affordable!

Very good Chicago style dogs. Clean, renovated establishment that used to be my Dairy Queen...umm like fifty years ago. Everything on the menu is a winner. It's hard not to stop and get something as I am passing by heading through town. The place is always spotless clean, the food shows care in preparation and I love the little red boxes. One of my favorite regular stops. Nice outdoor eating area. Overall outstanding.

Plenty of outdoor seating in the shade or in the sun. A good local business with yummy mild chili dogs. The crispy chicken sandwiches are big—they do not skimp on their chicken. I hear the Wolf Sauce is really tangy. They make a good Maxwell Street Polish and a Chicago Dog. I highly recommend.

Cool little spot! A lot of food for your money. The shrimp po boy came with like 20 fried shrimp and the wolf sauce is amazing!! Fairly small and not a lot of room for seating but definitely worth the stop
