“ Quick and always hot and delicious. Great crinkle cut fries! The hot dogs are fresh and consistently great! ”
“ I cannot recommend this place enough. This is a family owned business right in between Main Street and the High School. It's a cute little shack that sells Hot Dogs, fries, and a whole bunch of other stuff. The family that runs the business is so nice. They always greet me with a smile. I haven't tried everything on the menu, just the hot dogs and fries. But that's really all you need. The fries are really thick and salty; probably the best fries I've had. I have to stop myself from eating them all at once lol. It's a very small shop, it has indoor seating but also some chairs outside if you want some hot dogs in the sun. It's nothing fancy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love dog tracks. ”
“ Classic Chicago style hot dog/gyro spot. Good food. Fast customer service. Not a lot of room to sit and eat but I think that's how most of these type of restaurants are. Overall recommend trying it if you enjoy any of those classic chicago foods. ”
“ Very kind staff and very good food. Most positive reviews raved on the fries, gyro, beef, burger, and shakes. The gyro was delicious. We also got a burger that was very good as well. The fries were a little too greasy for our tastes (everything was greasy but to each their own if that's good or bad). The milkshake (we got chocolate) was decent. We also got onion rings that were superb. Overall, a very nice and tasty experience. Would definitely eat here again. ”
