| - I have tried some more things.
First of all, McGee's has an excellent double cheeseburger. $5, includes fries, and I'd pick it over, say, a Culver's burger. Probably over Five Guys too given the price difference. My only complaint is that they were out of bacon.
They have a special with 1 sliders for $3. I tried to get these on three separate occasions and they were always out.
The gyro is also great. It's easily as good as a gyro anywhere else in Madison, and like the burger, is cheaper and includes fries.
In all my years of eating Chicago food I had yet to try a Pizza Puff. I figured, why do I need a restaurant hot pocket? For $3 with fries I decided to try it. It is exactly what I assumed-- a restaurant version of a hot pocket. Kind of like a small calzone. They also have a "gyro pizza puff" and I'm kind of scared to try it but I'm going to.
I've heard multiple people including McGee himself rave about the Philly Cheesesteak. I was underwhelmed. The meat seemed too thinly sliced and it wasnt cheesy enough. Granted, it was cold by the time I got to eat it (bought food and then drove somewhere) so perhaps I'll give it another shot.
Last thing I tried was the pork chop sandwich. Flavor was very good, but if you're going to have a bone in pork chop in a sandwich (which is common in the south) the chop needs to be big enough that the bone is outside the bun or bread.
The downside that everything comes with fries is that the fries do NOT last long and if you dont eat them first, you'll end up throwing them away. And make sure you get mild sauce on your fries.
