Best fish sandwich I’ve ever had, and probably ever will have. Don’t let the review count fool you, this place has been running for decades for a reason…

Any of these reviews that didn’t try the fish sandwich can be ignored. Just clueless tourists ordering wrong. It’s the best fish sandwich in fast food history and has been since I was 9 (24 years running ago…)

Food was just okay, nothing too great. We were craving hot dogs so didn’t try anything else on the menu. Shake, not pictured here, was delicious. If in the area again, I’d stop by to try a burger.

I remember liking this place years ago. But honestly this is the worst hot dog I've ever ate. It was so tough I couldn't even chew it. It must be have been in the water a long time. Never again.

This is an old favorite of my in-laws and a must-stop when we visit. There is a little crust around the edges, but the food delivers. We're partial to the gyros, but you can;t really go wrong. Definitely greasy goodness all around!

Not like it used to be. Cheese was chunky and gross on cheese fries. Needs an update on equipment and tvs. Back in the 90s it was a place I ate at frequently. Stopped in recently and wasn't impressed.

Italian beef special, $ 15 drink and fries.Small, dry
The food is good, better than Portillo. Love the natural casing on the hotdog. But I think the gyros used to be bigger and better??

Food has gone downhill over the past year. Onion rings and mushrooms are dripping with oil. Hot dogs are barely warm. This has happened the last 3 times I purchased lunch. I have been a customer for almost 30 years at this location, but no longer. Go to the Little Island instead.

This is the original, I remember the one on Dempster and Bronx in Skokie, later became Mage's. Stopped in Friday, one of the original guys was there, chatted a bit. Said we'd be in more often and talked about the other store.Still has good food, poppyseed buns, neom relish, cheddar fries, wow they stack the pickles on! Not like Portillos (yuck). Got with kraut which was fresh. Free refills on drinks.Menu was a little confusing, didnt see combo for regular hot dog combo, just the jumbo.Can't wait to come back!
Recommended dishes: Hot Dog, Gyros Burger, Jumbo Hotdog with Fries

We loved great-tasting meals. No complaints. Great company. And the Cubs won.
