Description
Despite a renovation in 1999, this hot dog drive-in is still as old-fashioned as ever, with uniformed servers bringing your order directly to your car window. Apparently scared of copycats, the owners have trademarked almost every dish, the main draw being the "Superdawg," an all-beef frank so plump it's hard to remove it from its cartoon-covered box. It may all seem like kitsch, but there is a practical side: After a meal of hot dogs, fries, burgers (try the delicious, double-decker "Whoopercheesie") and "Supershakes" (actually not very super), you can literally roll yourself home.

This is a Chicago Treasure. A step back in time to a satisfying but basic menu. A step back in time to a family run business where mom still works the car order switchboard. Great basic drive-in food. Don't forget your Pineapple shake. It can be a bit of a hassle with only 4 outdoor picnic tables and it takes an experienced driver to get in and out of the parking lot. If you order at the front window make sure you wear your deodorant because quarters are tight. Well worth it + !
