Read moreThis is a favorite place of my youth. Parky's hot dogs since I was a child. My parents went to the one that was on Roosevelt road since they were in high school. This is decades of visits across 4 generations. The service is no-nonsense Chicago style. You order, you pay, you step aside when there is a long line, so not a place to chit chat with staff. Efficiency is key. If you are from the area, this normal. The atmosphere is perfect, as in, this is still Parky's. I love it. If you want new, fresh, stylish atmosphere, this is not the place.

Read moreThe cashier was very rude and prejudice all because my 6 year old daughter left her face mask in the car and I didn’t notice until after we were inside of the restaurant she told me to make her stand outside until I was finished and I asked her why would I make my 6 year old to stand outside and she told me that she was old enough she also called me ignorant and I told her do not call me ignorant and I asked did she know the meaning of ignorant because it means I’m lacking of knowledge basically you’re saying I’m uneducated she then told me she was calling the police and that she have my license plates number. There food is very good but I will never recommend anyone to buy anything from them due to the horrible customer service of the cashier that claims she’s the manager. If I could rate them with 0 stars I would due to the...
