Kevin Newman: I never would have thought grilled mushrooms and tomatoes would work well on the bacon cheese dog, but... it was awesome!
Time Out Chicago: Burgers are juicy and can be ordered with all manner of toppings (grilled ’shrooms and onions, A-1 sauce, even jalapeños). Crispy fries come piping hot in their own paper bag, regular or Cajun-style. Read more.
Nikol D: Overpriced, $4.19 for a dog, no fries/drink. Was not Chicago style, has mushrooms, mayo, ketchup. The bathroom didn't have soap, I addressed it to an employee who seemed concerned but never refilled.

Tricia Bevilacqua: Always make a reservation, this place is very popular, bc the food is soo amazing!!
Rev "The Rev" 😈: When are they going to add hot dogs to the dessert menu? When you roll them in the chocolate sauce and graham crackers, it looks just like kitty poop in a litter box.
Chicago magazine: Gruyère fondue gives way to seafood, aged beef tenderloin, vegetables, or all three, which you bubble in hot oil at the table. For a sexy finish, dip fruit into a pot of flaming chocolate. Read more.
