Customers love the thinly sliced beef, caramelized onions, and cheese, which create a flavorful combination. The menu features different sizes of sandwiches, with a 12-inch one big enough to share. The fries are highly praised for their crispy texture. Despite limited seating, the friendly owner and great prices make it worth the drive, even for those coming from Chicago.
