I'm extremely disappointed and the last meal we had there the food was poor. Chicken Tetrazzini was overcooked and my steak came with grilled onions that were almost raw. Took one bite and couldn't eat anymore. I was even more disappointed when management made no offer to make it right. Our server brought a desert free of charge and that was it. Overall, I really feel that the service and food has fallen. Combine that with the outdated decor and poor service and I can't give this place my business any more.

There are Giordano's, Beggars and a Nancy's all in the area. Further down there is Gino's East aand…read moreArrenello's as well. There is also Pizza Hut and Domino's Pizza which I don't think are even worth mentioning. That said we have tried them all and decided this is OUR pizza place. We find Beggars to be just THICK. We find the cheese and sausage on Beggars pizza both to be like rubber. We think Giordano's is grossly overrated as well as grossly over priced. And so on. We picked them off one by one until ONLY Papa Joe's remained.. The crust is excellent. Not too dense not too chewy, the sauce is excellent. Not overly sweet, nort overly tart, just perfect. I could go on and on. Anyways they have great food, even better service (FOR A CARRYOUT ONLY PLACE) and reasonable prices. Win win win. Only sucky thing is that they don't open until 4pm. Which is really sucky when you don't have a job and want pizza for lunch.

We loved them and the dipping sauce. I went with the classic ribs. Still amazing and great. Fall off the bone and great taste. My wife had the cioppino which she loved. Service was friendly, fast and excellent. We definitely will not wait so long to come back.

I expressed my displeasure at the table being exposed to the wait staff and he replied; "You should just be happy you got a table." The worst? The food. Thoroughly disappointing because it was served cold. I'm shocked by the reviews, since this was the single worst dining experience I've ever had.

The dogs themselves were fine (Vienna) but the bun wasn't steamed and definitely tasted a few days old. The fries must've been cooked with some light, cooking oil and wasn't flavorful. Unless they are working out the kinks, I will not be in a hurry to go back. It's definitely not the same.

Family owned and like many others have stated, they treat you like family. Immediately upon walking in, I was greeted by a butcher who was more than helpful and kind. My husband and I are on a new health journey so I've often times asked MANY questions and he was patient and helpful with every answer. Even with him knowing I didn't have cash and had to leave and come back. Needed some quality burgers and brats for a friend's grilling birthday bash. Picked up beer brats upon recommendation (and a crowd favorite), Mediterranean turkey burgers (super good and I enjoyed them more than my husband did if I'm to be honest), prime rib burgers (currently vacuum sealed in the freezer), skin on hot dogs (best ever), cheddar and jalapeño burger (another fave!), and maybe a couple others I can't recall. Everything so far- fresh and from what I've frozen, has been delicious. We typically shop at Paulina Market so it's been wonderful to find a shop closer at the same level (in our opinion). It is pricey as some have stated but you're paying for what you get. They have an amazing selection of prepared foods as well. Worth stopping in for! Can't wait to restock.

If it's your first visit and you're unsure what to order, he'll gladly recommend something delicious!

The fresh cut fries are a thing of beauty. Crisp on the outside with a fluffy interior. The hot was good, but was missing celery salt for the Chicago Style dog. But everything was super fresh and the peppers had a nice kick without blowing your head off. They have an ice cream case inside the place as well. As I was walking out, I saw the burger on someone's plate and I really wanted one. I will have to go back to check out the burgers.

Unfortunately, the owners have changed, and it is now not Korean-, but Filipino-owned. Not that there's anything wrong with this, but the recipe for the chicken didn't seemed to have been shared, or the new owners' execution is not correct; either way, the flavoring of the wings have been off ever since. Not worth the visit nor the $ spent, as the prices have also exponentially increased for the lack of quality control/flavorless chicken. The OG Dong-Ah fans are already disappointed, and this place isn't part of anyone's rotation any longer. No dice. +avoid the KFC +changed owners
