If you manage to screw up a hotdog, something is wrong with you. The Beef Stand gave me a taste of home with its Chicago Style Hotdog that was done well-enough to satisfy my longing. I might come back to try the Philly Cheese Steak if I have not decided to give up beef again.
Fries and drinks are separate.
As for ambiance, the restaurant is decorated in a typical college-town way with the smell of grease in the air.
