I have been to the Dark Horse a few times over the past year and it is almost always perfect. Since the New Year, it is currently batting 1000.

See pictures for the portions you get for Chicago prices!!! Just because your vendor screwed YOU over doesn't mean you should neglect...

My Swiss burger and battered fries were good. Of course we had to get a tshirt. They have them in every color and shade. They told our friend where he could park his 18 wheeler next time, so he's adding the Dark Horse to his list of places he'll stop on his...
