    Great little surprise stop on a rainy day.  Average atmosphere almost resembling an older diner, but the food was great.  Enjoyed the extras the most – first the fried cream biscuit with jelly and topping off the meal with a macadamia nut dessert.  They were both delicious! Of course the rest of the meal was great also – but I love the sweets and that is what I’ll remember…

    Came in at opening time on Saturday and ordered the Piglet to try pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket.  Assumed it would come separate to try them each separately, but they were all small pieces and scrambled together on the bun.  That said, it tasted great, was on a high quality bun, the fries had a crispy coating and tasted great and the Hogs Breath sauce was a perfect compliment.  We love Parrots Kay, but it was closed, so we tried this place and are glad we stopped.

    Update: drove by in December 2022 and it is CLOSED

    Very convenient to I94 to get off and on.  The cashier recommended the gyro as their best seller and it tasted excellent.  The fries were thick-cut and the seasoning was good.  Service was poor, as we waited for over 25 minutes for our food and it wasn’t that busy.

    As to the atmosphere it was a dive and in a sketchy neighborhood – having a bit of a true south side of Chicago feel that was borderline for comfort with my family, even on Sunday afternoon.  The clientele made a fairly major turnover while we waited for our food – with several college-aged boys leaving after they started eating.  We ate rather quickly and left.  On the walk back to our car, my son and I were propositioned by a couple of ladies driving out of the parking lot after they nearly ran us over.

    Would I go back – yes if during the day and I wasn’t alone (gyro was great) and no if dusk or later…

    Excellent burger joint.  We loved the Rajun Cajun burger and fresh spiral-cut chips.  The chips had Cajun flavoring and we also loved the Cajun Lime dipping sauce.
