Yeah, that's a 5/5 😍 WOAH! I came into this place very suspect of just the modern lame taco shop interior that must be a result of new management at some point. However, this beef was DIVINE, easily on par with Johnnie's as someone who thought North Ave would simply be Johnnie's stomping grounds.

This is every single aspect a beef should be perfected. Deeply spiced and just thicker than a sheet of paper.

In regards to the food, the portions may be smaller, but I am willing to pay for that quality that was once missing and has now returned. If you like Italian beef, burgers, sausage, hot dogs, fresh cut fries, and home-made Italian ice and it won't break the bank, then you will enjoy the new and improved...
