The Mother Trucker Cafe — Restaurant in East Naples

Really wanted to like this place as we all waited over a year for it to open. Even gave them three tries.

First time for pizza. Ehh. Not bad, but not really good and being from Chicago, I was surprised.

Second time for my favorite Chicago Hot Dogs. Not a Chicago hot dog besides the looks of it.

Third time for a gyro. Burnt gristle. Took one bite at home and threw it away.

All three times I went, my order was messed up as well.

I really want these guys to do well. Hopefully they were just working out the bugs and are getting better with time. I haven't been back in a few months.

I hope they can get it together. I hate it when restaurants say Authentic Chicago, Authentic NY, Authentic Philly and are just not. Leaves a lot of room for disappointment from people who are actually from these places. Just say Chicago Style, Philly Style, etc.

I really want them to get better,...

Being from Chicago, I wanted to love this place but I didn’t. My husband and I tried several things and everything was mediocre at best.

Just terrible, I won’t be back.

Go to Beefstro’s if you want a true Chicago beef or Chicago dog, they will...

From the south side of Chicago for 45 years. Live here now for 7 years. First experience was $75.00 worth of hot dog carry outs. Most of the order was wrong,and was shorted 3 cheese fries and 2 hot dogs. Tried to call to complain, no answer. Today we ordered 2 pizzas. Awful. Get a tombstone, way better. So they’ve gotten $120.00 from me , live and learn. And on top of all that , compared to the website you go in and the prices are on average $2-3...
