    Great Italian Beef, Sausage, Dog's , Burger's. I haven't had anything bad here other then the fries. Skip the fries and bump it up to onion rings. If you like milk shakes you must try a Cake Shake!

    A must-stop place if your in the area. I would recommend going after the lunch hours since this place is usually packed. For dessert, try the cake shake with a whole piece of chocolate cake inside!

    Peppers cost extra, but are so worth it on the Italian Beef. Onion rings are the perfect side and if you really want to go for it, add a milkshake too.

    Everything is awesome here. Italian beef, sausage, chili, salads, burgers - so much to choose from!

    By far, my favorite beef joint. I recommend the beef, dipped, with (sweet peppers), and cheddar. Hamburgers are pretty decent. You can never go wrong with a chopped salad or breaded chicken sandwich.
