The polish sausage was absolutely delicious! So were the fries! The sausage was very flavorful and warm and I would definitely recommend getting the grilled onions and mustard with it. Beware the hot peppers because they are quite hot. The sausages also came with fries already which was great since they are crispy on the outside, warm, and not dry. The guy was very nice and made sure to confirm which toppings we wanted and that we got the orders that we each wanted. Our orders came out very quick too! It was unfortunate that so many people were lined up at the other stand when there was no line at this one and the food is so good! The guys in the kitchen were just waiting for people to come by and instantly went to work once we ordered! Overall great experience!

This is the place to stop when you are craving a traditional Polish Sausage! The grilled onions are amazing and come with fries. Ironically Jim's Original is more well known for its sausage but the locals prefer Express Grill. What's really awesome is that Express grill is only 50 feet south of jim's so you can/should try both that's what l did. Express Grill sausages are a little bigger and meatier (less saltier too) and the fries are less seasoned. It's Great late night drunk food at a great price. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Chicago. stand up tables limited parking. 100% Recommend!

I have been coming here for almost 3 decades when I'm visiting the area. The best part here is they can split and grill your Polish Sausage which brings out the flavor from the center of the sausage. They also have an option to add their own homemade spicy mustard. Highly recommend it. They listen carefully to your specific instructions and they are very quick here. There is two places that compete on this street a few steps away from each other. Make sure you go to the one that says "Express Grill", the polish sausage is better in my opinion.

Okay so I gave them 4 stars because the food was great I always stopped in to get a Polish a pork chop sandwich a burger any of those things great food but their fries are always soggy I even asked him they could cook my fries a little longer but I guess it's kind of a in and out place so they have everything already kind of pre-prepped and I still got something fries but you really don't care about the fries then man this is a place to go price range is pretty much 5 bucks for every item which comes with fries so if you get a pork chop sandwich fries polish fries cheeseburger fries which isn't bad for around $5 cuz if you go to other places sometimes you pay a little more but other than that they're foods good I always get extra grilled onions on mine it's right off the highway there's always parking soon as you get off and pulled to the side you run up you lie there's not that much of a wait but if there is the food already prepared pull it out bag it up for you and you're on your way I never leave in parking lot always end up eating right then in there cuz that's how good the food is well if you take my advice stop in and have...

I love this place!! Been going there for years BUT I found out that the owner does not give the employees tips received when paying with debit/credit card. Years ago I was told by one of the employees that they don't get any tips at all. That dude is no longer working there. Since then I been giving cash tips. I try to do it on the sly but today I didn't get a chance since the guy running the register(possibly the owner) was right behind him. Plus the cooks don't handle money or cards because of the gloves/pandemic. So I had no choice but to put the cash(tip) in the bowl with my card. I asked the cook if they get the tips. He said "oh yeah. He gives us the tips" when I told him that a previous employee told me they didn't. He whispered "well not tips given through credit card. But we do get the cash ones." Now that is f'ed up! I bet he takes some of them cash tips also. With this discovery... I will no longer be...
