Disclaimer, I've been going here since I was a small child, so over30 years. Service is ridiculously slow. If you know, you know how to do it here. You place your order,pay, sit in your car for 20-30 min, and then go back in for your order. It is never faster than that unless you get there at 11am when they open. At opening time, there is usually a small line. Sucks but the steak sweet is amazing and the steak fries with sauce are a must have. Cash only so be prepared, which is another sucky part for what they charge.
Awesome good food. Been around for a long time. Always good and different. I love the beef sandwich is my favorite and those fries in that's delicious sauce. I'm originally from Chicago but I don't live there anymore. But when I come home it's a must that I get there at least once usually twice. Then all my family have me to bring them food back to California. Long time favorite of the Allen family.
I finally tried this place after years of hearing about it! In college, everyone used to talk about how much they loved this place and couldn't wait to get it when they went back home. I got there not too long after they opened on a Saturday. I was number 19 and got my food in 20 minutes. I wasn't expecting the staff to be friendly (based on the stories I've heard). However, the person that took my order was friendly. I told her it was my first time there and asked her what came on the steak sandwich and she kindly explained. I ordered a steak sweet & hot (no cheese) , large turkey hoagie and fries with sauce. Everything was delicious! I started out with 1/2 a steak sandwich, a small portion of the turkey hoagie and some fries. The food was so good that I had to finish the steak sandwich, LOL! My mom, who is a very particular about her food, even enjoyed the turkey hoagie and fries. I will be back, close to opening! I appreciate how the food tasted fresh and didn't mind paying almost $30 for it. Tips for those who will visit for the first time: 1. Cash only 2. Come early? I guess if I would've came later, the wait would've been way longer than 20 minutes. 3. Order your food in the middle section. 4. Then, move to the far right section to pay. 5. Wait for your number to be called and pick up your food in the far left section. Last thing - I wanted to take a picture of the menu board so people can see what their current prices are. There were some customers standing in front of it, so I didn't take the picture. I took a picture of my receipt: Steak sandwich is $9.69, large turkey hoagie is $10.59, fries is $2.80 and the sauce on the fries is $0.89.
They now sell steak sandwiches made with impossible meat and turkey just FYI. Iconic place. Long a** lines and wait. Great steak sandwiches and fries with sauce, along with the hoagies. This spot is legendary, so those who get it, get it. No need for a long review! It's worth the headache (every once in a while)
The food was delicious! I had a tray of turkey subs and a steak hot and sweet. The fries were good with the sauce. The staff is friendly and try to get you out as soon as possible. LaLa took my phone order and was spot in with the way my food was prepared! It's a heck yeah for me!
