What People's Say About Place

Great chicago dog and a green river along with some cheese fries, yes please! Loved all the nostalgic photos and chicago gear. Reminded me of being back in the city! Easy parking, has a big lot.

It’s always a treat coming. The cheese fries are so yummy and crispy. And there’s nothing quite like a deliciously soggy Italian beef. The staff are fun and cool. Love the vibes. Support local business!

Took me back to Chicago, as a native of the he suburbs this brought me back to my childhood. The memorabilia they have collected is fantastic. That aside the food was really good, I got the beef and it was moist and well seasoned and the bun was perfect. The cheese fries were great drenched in authentic cheese sauce. The hot dogs were delicious and authentic with a good snap and the poppy seed bun and all. Chicago natives will feel a slice of home and locals should check it out to see what they missed not growing up in Chicagoland.

As a Chicagoan who lives in Colorado now, this place hit the spot. The nostalgia will get you but the food was awesome. I haven’t had a pizza puff since I was a kid and it was so good. Go visit them for an authentic Chicago style dog or beef.

Waitress was excellent. Food came out fast within 5 min prices are right.

As a native Chicago guy, my bar is high on Italian beef & sausage combo sandwiches, and this one is pretty good. The sausage was grilled and had good flavor, the beef was tasty, and overall the sandwich had the right balance to be a good eat. Giardinara was also authentic. Overall, this was the best I have tasted since moving to Denver.

My husband and I have been coming here for years! The service is the best, the food is fresh and they never disappoint! Where else could you go in Denver for a bottle of Open Pit barbecue sauce, Jays Potato Chips and Fannie Mae chocolates? This is the best Chitown food spot here in Denver and I will forever be a customer!

This place is legit! My husband and I live in CO and are from Chicago and are so happy this is here, the beefs are amazing and the hot dogs are true Chicago style. I love all the memorabilia, it’s like a Chicago museum in there. Highly recommend.
