Was here last night for the first time, man does the interior look really nice and well kept. The hotdogs and burgers were exceptional, and the slice of cake… amazing. Definitely planning on coming back in the future

My absolute favorite place to go, especially when it's my birthday! Husband took me for a lunch date and I got a free piece of chocolate cake! YUMMY!
Everyone is always so nice and friendly as well! Top notch all around, all the time!

I dig the creativity of the environment. Pretty chill spot. As for food I ordered 3 dogs since I've never been before. All were pretty good.
In order of delicious -
1. Char grilled polish sausage. It was a good amount of food.
2. regular hot dog. Wish it was charred like the polish dog.
3. Chili dog. It was ok. Better than another popular hot dog spot. The chili could use more bite. Wonder if you can get polish sausage chili dog?
It was a nice touch with the hot peppers. I'll have to come back and try the italian beef. Their ketchup dispensers were not working. No big deal.
On another note their website is garbage. It doesnt work with android at all so I could not sign up. Terrible design.

Cashier didn't ask if hubby wanted peppers( and we don't go often enough to remember to ask for them) Gravy was greasing than I remember, our fries were crispy as asked for. Meat was not as hot as I'd like. Not sure it was a $25 lunch( fries were free or it would have been more) like that drinks are self serve now.

Food was good as always. The guy (sorry don't remember his name) working the floor cleaning tables was very nice. Greeted my husband with a great conversation.
