Of course the Hot Dogs - all the way, Chicago style are great, but the Italian Beef , wet, with both the sweet and the hot peppers is absolutely incredible. And don't forget the chocolate cake !

Missy Narkiewicz

Make sure you like Chicago hot dogs before you come here. They do them well with all the fixings. Space is wonderfully themed, food was great and I loved the bacon burger better than the hot dog .

Ray Santos

Do you mean what's great here? Italian Beef , Italian Sausage , Chicago Style Hot Dogs , Tamales with Chili and Cheese , Chocolate Cake , Strawberry Cake are all great!

Best Italian beef sandwiches . A great little bit of Chicago away from Chicago.

Be sure to try the Maxwell Street Polish. I also throughly enjoy the cheeseburgers and chili cheese burgers . Always get some extra shredded cheddar cheese on the grilled chicken sandwich !

The Italian beef sandwich is amazing. Love the chicago-style tamales .

A large chocolate cake shake is practically a meal by itself, best bet is to order it after you eat at the dessert counter near the entrance.
