It doesn't get any better than this!! We sat at one of the picnic tables waiting for another couple to join us. While waiting, we met one of the owners who was so much fun to talk with. We truly enjoyed his company. When our friends joined us, we were treated like old friends. Owners are super nice, funny, great service and the food is awesome!!! Authentic Chicago dogs and Italian beef, great seasoning on the fries and coleslaw was extremely favorable. This place was definitely the highlight of our weekend. This is a define stop next time we are in the area and we would drive out of our way to go here again! Highly recommend a stop here, you won't be disappointed!! Thank you, Daniel for a very enjoyable experience.

Had heard for years from friends that this is "The" place to get an Italian beef sandwich. After trying it today I have to agree. They offer sweet or hot and offer to dip it. I had it hot and dipped and just wishing I had grabbed 2, except there's so much meat I probably couldn't finish anyhow. Leaves a nice glow in the mouth so you can remember how good it was.

I found this through their excellent online reviews, and I was not disappointed! I had a turkey, bacon, and avocado pannini, with a side of fries! It was all served piping hot, and within maybe 10 minutes. Everything was stellar, I could eat those fries every day!! The man was very approachable, welcoming, friendly, and helpful, as well. I cannot even think of the wasted opportunities when I've driven by, hungry! For 'Fast food' it was healthy, & delicious, unusual - in a good way; all that, and fast, too. If you give it a try, I'm certain you'll be very happy you stopped!

A friend told me about this little shop on the northside of lacrosse. I had an appointment in town so decided to stop and check it out. Bought an Italian Beef and a Chicago dog, both were absolutely delicious and also reasonably priced. will definitely go there again. Best sandwiches I have ever had.
