This is a really cute place. Inside it is comfortable and low key. I ordered the half Italian Beef sandwich ( w/ hot peppers) that was highly rated last year. It was quite good and not too drippy. I really like that they offer a half sandwich option. The fries were good. This is a place where you place your order at the counter, sit down and wait. They bring out your food once it is ready. I wish I took photos, but will go back and take photos later. This is a cool place with many, many options. Go see for yourself. You will thank me later.

Quick service and all the food was nice and hot. Typical hot dog joint options for food, something for everyone. No wait when we pulled into the drive-thru.

Delicious Chicago "Vinnie-Beef" Stuffs, Friendly workers trying to get good food in-and-out as they should, and a pleasant atmosphere with outdoor seating next to the school. Definitely worth a try if you're headed down towards Island Lake.Parking: Parking is usually empty.

Everything about this place is great! The dogs are amazing, the beefs are juicy, and the gyros are to die for. The atmosphere is always wonderful and the service is always friendly and fast.

I had the grilled chicken Caesar pita which was really good. I liked the extra touch of fresh Parmesan on top. Could do with less Caesar dressing though. My husband had the gyros and fries; he said both good. Young woman that greeted us as we walked in and took our order was friendly and proficient. Like the coziness of the wooden tables and chairs decor. The only complaint we have and hope they can rectify because we won't be coming back only because of this: whatever deodorizer they're using in back by the bathrooms is so overwhelmingly foul-smelling and powerful, that you smell it the minute you walk into the restaurant. The smell was so bad in back where you have to go to get your drinks and napkins that it was gagging us. We needed more napkins and we laughingly "debated" on who was going to go back there to get more.

My visit today through pick up was a good experience with staff. However, I ordered a gyros (like always) and the tzatsiki sauce was smaller, but tasted funny and the pita bread was oddly soggy. This is the first time I wasn’t 100% happy. It was odd. Not normal for them.

We went for the first time last week, service was fast, food was delicious, and love the decor!!! Ordered delivery again a week later and once again it did not disappoint - especially being 20 minutes away, food was still warm and fries were still good (which is always questionable!) Will definitely become regulars here!!

Wow, stunned to find this gem! Not your typical hot dog place; fun country theme inside and bang for your buck when it comes to the food. We got the gyro platter and was stuffed. All for about $11!!! If in the area again will visit again!
Horrible! Owner is an A-hole. Insulted me for my order, which is kinda basic and then they gave me tiny containers for my jus. When I arrived home, 5 mins away, they busted open and was all over the bag. Returned for a refund and you can tell he was pissed. Don't care. Never been back since.

Now my favorite place for Italian beef. They do them perfect for me with cheddar sauce and easy hot peppers. Hot dogs excellent and so are the fries. Great place.
