This place certainly is hyped and is well worth the trip if what you seek is italian beef which is done fairly well and is one of the best that I've had. However if you're looking for real Chicago style hot-dogs, this place is a big disappointment. The droopy, slightly cold monstrosity they put in front of me on a bun would never pass must in Chicago, nor anywhere else for that matter.
Want Italian Beef? This is your joint. Chicago-style hot-dogs? Luke's down the street does them far better!
