This is a fun- themed fast food restaurant known for their hotdogs and Italian beef. But ton, I had a bacon cheeseburger and my wife a chili cheese dog. Both sandwiches were well prepared and tasty. The fries were great tonight; fresh, hot, properly salted and not overcooked as sometimes happens here. Of course, chocolate cake for dessert. Yum.

One of my favorite spots to eat when I visit my family out here. If for some reason you are in Normal and have never had Chicago style Hot Dogs or an Italian beef, this is a great spot to get them outside of Chicago. If you want something traditional, a dipped beef is the way to go but it's super messy, buyer be warned. My preferred way to get a beef here is to order it with hot and sweet peppers, dry, with a side of Au jus.
Bathroom was clean, service was good, pricing is fair.
