First visit, had hamburgers & fries! Was reasonable priced and food tasted good. Cute, beachy vibe!
Busy road, a little noisy from traffic, we sat outside, dog friendly which is a plus!

Quick stop for a dog and some 🍻. Nice bite on the dogs and very tasty, but the fries seemed a combination of what was there. Nice outdoor spot, cold beer and quick service!

Great hot dogs. Great service, made it there just before the lunch rush, the bar maid was handling the lunch rush fantastically! Check it out.
Amber and Heidi do a great job behind the bar.
This has turned into a regular place for me. Great food, great atmosphere, and great staff. Ainsley was working the bar today by herself and doing an amazing job.
Come check out the food specials!
Thanks

We are from Chicago and have had many Italian beefs in our lifetime so we can give a honest Chicago review.
Sorry , Tony’s but this is not an authentic Chicago Italian beef. The beef had no flavor,- no spices that should always be in a beef sandwich .
It was also dry and having it dipped didn’t help . I will say that the French fries were Chicago style and good .
Finally, when we ordered our food the lady who took our order asked us if we wanted another basket as we were going to share the beef . We thought that was nice of her to offer and we told her yes-.
When we sat down to eat we noticed that we were charged $1.50 for the basket- that she offered us - for sharing . That was not very nice!!

A 3 because it is an outdoor tiki but the food is really good. One of the oldest businesses in Venice when 41 was a dirt road 😮.
Chicago beef my personal fave. Great stop for a quick bite.
