Stopped in on a whim. Too cold to walk to the library. Good dog, better fries, but I'll be back for the beef and a chicken sandwich as recommended by the awesomely lovely lady at the register. Seemed like great guys making the food. Nothing bad to say.

Yup! Absolutely dee-lish!!! I had the Italian beef special. “Let me get a beef special, sweet and juicy!” Wow! I couldn’t quite peg what the special spice in the gravy was, but it was good. This is hands down one of the best needs I’ve ever had. Price was fair for what I got... the sandwich, fries, and a pop. Portions were pretty good. Place has an old school 80s feel. It was clean. Everyone was friendly. I’ll for sure be back

Best Italian beef in the city. I come here because I was told they don’t dip the sausage in the Italian beef juice which is great because I want to enjoy an Italian beef without worrying about consuming pig juice. Quick friendly service, definitely worth trying if you are in the area.

Small joint but fast service with good food. Soup was good, fries were fresh. A lot of people came in ordering the Greek salad so I'm assuming it is good too. Warning, on windy days the door to enter is HEAVY so bring your muscles.
