We tried the Polish sausage and gave it a solid 9.5 out of 10. Topped with onions, jalapeño peppers, and mustard, it was incredibly flavorful and juicy. Surprisingly, even as someone who typically doesn't enjoy mustard, I found that it added a delicious depth to the overall taste.
I really liked their fries texture and appreciated that they weren’t overly However, some people may not like the crumbe-lile texture. We gave their fries a 8.5/10. I enjoyed dipping them in barbecue sauce, though in my opinion, I wish the sauce had been a little sweeter since you have to pay a small price for it. That said, the fries were just as satisfying with ketchup or even on their own.
When we arrived, there were around 100 motorcycle riders. Despite the crowd, we had no trouble finding good parking, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Due to the lack of seating, the atmosphere was the same as a normal fast food restaurant.

Stumbled on this gem late Saturday and it did not disappoint. Crowd was lively even at that hour, which says a lot. Flavors hit the spot — totally satisfied the craving. Worth every penny.

I go here over all the other joints because they do it right. Deep fried beef polish with spicy hot mustard and grilled onions is perfect. Hell get spicy mustard on everything lol. Oh and have your order ready when you get to the window.
