My daughter got a hot dog and onion rings, and was very happy. The employees were very friendly and quick! I wasn't able to get anything as I have celiacs, and there was nothing I could eat. The employee did offer me a salad, so that was nice!

The Italian beef was pretty good. You can pick dry, wet, or dipped. I got the wet and it was drenched in beef juice. Next time, I will probably get it dry and have it on the side. Otherwise, the place was perfect for watching highlights of the OKC vs. MIN game on TV.

Great food, reasonable prices, very quick service, and the staff was very friendly. We had a big Italian beef with mozzarella, cheeseburger, and large fries. This was our first visit and we will definitely come back.

Flew up from Florida and had to try this place as it's been on my radar for a while. Italian Beef was excellent as were the fries, tenders, and Chicago dog. Service was great and music selection was on point. We will be back.

Had the best burger I’ve had in years here, and my mom said her Chicago dog was amazing as well. We had cheese curds with marinara sauce, and even the marinara was better than it had any right to be. Bar stools are INCREDIBLY comfy.

If you're in Freeport skip Culvers, McDonald's, Wendy's and all the chain restaurants and come here. Burger was surprisingly good, Chicago dogs were great, fries where great. Everything was fresh with fresh tasting ingredients. Good music and great customer service

Definitely on par or better then Chicago's beef joints. Cheese curds were great. I'll be back to try the other menu items but so far so good.
