This joint is a block away from me so you see I live in a rather exclusive enclave here in the Greater Broadview Asylum. So if you come to the dog, at least have your car washed. The dress code is wide ranging. At the tables you find the three main styles of dress to be: 1. Day Laborer. 2. Plasma Donor. 3. General welfare recipient with the exclusive black LINC card with WIC supplemental. But at the drive up window you find the eclectic including a fair portion of Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac/Lincoln, Genesis, etc. This is your basic dog menu with Polish, gyro, burgers, BBQ chicken, ribs, the usual sides, shakes and soft serve. Italian ice's are glacier sized. Ingredients are fresh, and each meal is made fresh so expect just a very short wait. Ordering indoors is efficient. Outdoors they have a speaker system. "Derum everything, gedad fry, vanida shake no ice, anything else?" It can be off putting at first but soon it becomes part of the charm. Guests delight in The two forms of gambling avaiable at the dog. The first is three brightly lit slots that attract the many local high rollers and lottery quantum players. The second form of gambling is the occasional mystery bag of food. A few days ago I ordered a "dogandfrieseverything" and it was revealed to be a polish. No problem. Once I ordered two subs. My Friend tore into his back at my Broadview Estate I call AldiView. He asked what I ordered? I looked at his sub and mine. Both had mayo, Tomato, lettuce, onion but no cheese or meatl. I went back to the store much more amused than upset and demanded to see the dog face to face... They gave me two stoked and stacked subs and a full refund. So heck ya, 5 stars Origin of The Lucky Dog Years ago there were lamp post signs around.town reading "Lost Dog. Missing tail, blind in one eye, seriously affected by mange, and is a life support system for a flea and tick colony. $5 Reward For Return. $10 reward if you don't return. Answers to the name of Lucky." A dog with such tenacity and perseverance is history worth remembering. Thus this monument serves good hot dogs in honor of that lost dog. I swear upon the ghost of the goat cursing the Chicago Cubs that this is a true story.
Pretty good food. Decent burger/hot dog/gyro place with a good size menu, and a bunch of menu items you wouldn't normally expect. It was a little pricey, but the portions were good and tasty. My friend substituted fries for fried mushrooms that came with a tartar sauce and they were delicious... so much so that I had to help him eat them Gonna work our way thru the menu, but return to the fries mushroom. I think maybe to justify the prices hand-cut fries would be the way to go... although their fries were pretty good!
