I’ve gone here a couple of times since the re-opening and I think it’s a very solid place for lunch!
The interior gets super cramped during the lunch rush, which makes dining inside pretty awkward. The patio is great, however, so I recommended eating here on nicer days.
As far as the food goes, it’s definitely a good place to visit for Chicago staples. They don’t have the best or most authentic hot dog around (missing poppyseed bun and celery salt), but it definitely scratches that itch if you’re in the mood for a quick bite.
Most items come with fries as a default, but I think it’s better to order the hot dog / polish / etc. without fries to save a little money. The pricing is good, though, especially for the lunch options...

What a gem you have there. I wish the restaurant many...

They have the best fries with the perfect amount of crisp, salt, and toasty-ness. (Sorry for all the haters but they taste so good dipped in their milkshake) I’m not a big burger gal but they have such a nice burger that melts in your mouth. The pizza puff is also a fun tasty item.
I often come with my dog and eat on the patio and the staff is kind and always offers my dog a lil treat of her own. The staff is also nice to humans. They want you to have a good experience...
