Good pork chop sandwich, good hot dog, and good polish sausage. Everything comes with plenty of grilled onions and mustard. All sandwiches also come with some pretty decent fries. The hot peppers are some of the hottest peppers I've had.

Every trip to Chicago, I try to find an original, long time favorite of the locals. I've been past this way on I-90 many times, and finally had a chance to try it. Love the vintage atmosphere and style, great prices, quick service. I had the Polish, not quite what I was hoping for, but still good. Double Cheese was good, and the Chicken Polish had a good review from my daughter. Fries were excellent!
I'll have to try the Pork Chop next time.

The best polish in town!
Free fries with every thing.
I always get a polish and porkchop sandwich. Just tried the burger. bomb! It simple which i love. Everything comes with yellow mustard, grilled onions and a side of hot peppers and fries. You can get other stuff like a fish sandwich and hot dogs. Never a wait either. Does get super busy the kate it gets. Very affordable.
