    Love this place. It’s a lil lunch time shop at this location. Ofcorse you’ve got to get the Chicago dog but a lot of people like the Nashville Louisville and Memphis dog. Expect to spend about 12 for 2 dogs fries and a drink (can vary) but it’s well worth the spend with fast service time good food and an easy in and out atmosphere.
