Biscuit breakfast sandwiches
Jeremy B.

Deniza's is a cute little Chicago-like hot dog stand in an old Dairy Queen. It's a counter service small restaurant so you'll want to plan to take your food to go or they have a few picnic tables outside. The service was super friendly and quick. I went during their soft-opening weekend and grabbed a few breakfast sandwiches. The biscuits were buttery and delicious with the perfect amount of meat and cheese and a single fried egg. Can't wait to try their lunch menu!

Meatball sub and some delicious sides (mushrooms, onion rings and fries)

We ordered Chicago Dogs. The bun was rock hard. Clearly it was days old. Asked for extra ice, got no ice. We won't be back.

It was a tough decision between ice cream and a milkshake. The shake won this time around but I'm…read moresure I'll be back sometime soon for some ice cream. The are supposedly famous for their strawberry shakes so that's what I tried. According to the gal working the window, they use fresh strawberries which draws the attention of a lot of people. The shake was great but I will admit that the big strawberry chunks sometimes made it difficult to sip from the straw. Definitely hope to come back to try some ice cream though because they have some fun and unique flavors!

As you walk up, you'd think that this was just another ice cream shop. But, it's far from it! From…read morethe decoration to the ice cream. Everything is well thought over. We ordered the triple scoop in a cup. I wouldn't suggest doing that. We got two full scoops and 1/4 of a scoop. So, definitely get two scoops max. But, the ice cream was incredibly delicious! Everything is made in house. So, you get one of a kind flavors. Which, I loved. Coffee lovers-This ice cream was rich, dense, and decadent! It tasted like an Affogato. My mom savored every last nibble. Amareto Cherry-This ice cream was fun and flavorful. It was excellent! Unfortunately, all you could taste was the maraschino cherries. Which, made for a tasty treat. But, my dad was missing the amareto. Tennessee Toffee- This ice cream was creamy, dreamy, and delicious! I couldn't get enough of it. It was salty, sweet, and savory all in one bite! The toffee was luscious, smooth, and decadent. It was pure heaven. The ice cream was rich and velvety with strong notes of caramel, cocoa nibs, coffee, and most of all Tennessee whisky. But, not in an overpowering way. In, an artistic way. Pure joy in a scoop! So, if you're looking for a new ice cream shop. Come here! You won't regret it.

The real highlight for me, though, was the chocolate cake -- incredibly soft, rich, chocolatey, and moist. It was the perfect dessert after dinner. The restaurant itself is super cool and full of old Chicago memorabilia and vintage items that make the place feel unique and fun to explore. If you're visiting town, it's worth stopping by just for the atmosphere alone. They also have a huge food selection and a full bar, so there's something for everyone. The service was great, and despite how busy the place can get, they have plenty of lines for self-service and ordering at the counter, which keeps things moving smoothly. Overall, a really fun spot to grab food while visiting Chicago.

The atmosphere, history, and overall hype surrounding it definitely add to the experience. However, in my personal opinion, the ambience and reputation outweighed the actual quality of the food! I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich combo along with a classic hot dog. The customer service itself was actually very nice and prompt. The cashier helping me was friendly enough to let me sample their spicy chipotle-style sauce/spread that comes with the chicken sandwich, and honestly, that sauce was delicious. That said, I have to admit the hot dog itself was pretty underwhelming. I know Chicago-style hot dogs are iconic, but I personally felt like I've had better-tasting hot dogs from a Dodger Dog or even Costco. The relish here tasted oddly artificial to me -- almost like a strange paste consistency that I just couldn't get into. Maybe it's just my Los Angeles taste buds talking, but honestly, some of the best hot dogs I've had are from the street vendors off Hollywood Boulevard with the grilled onions, bell peppers, mustard, mayo, ketchup... you know exactly the kind I'm talking about!! Overall, I'd still recommend trying this place at least once simply because it's such a well-known Chicago institution, but for me personally, the food didn't fully live up to the hype.....

My two granddaughter's and I stopped there for a sandwich after shopping at the Lighthouse Mall. To say the woman that took our orders was unfriendly, is an understatement. She was an older woman with short hair. My granddaughter ordered a Patty Melt on white bread, this woman's response was "we don't have white bread." My granddaughter asked for a substitution because she doesn't like rye bread. Answer: "that's all we have." Did not offer to put it on a hamburger bun, which is white bread. I ordered a salad. I was told "no salad's today." I then ordered a fish sandwich and a cheeseburger, with two sides of mayonnaise, one for fish and one for cheeseburger. The woman who was cooking brought one side of mayonnaise. When I told her I needed another, her response "I already gave you one." The food was okay, service TERRIBLE. I would never go back. I'm in the restaurant business and would never treat customers the way we were treated yesterday. And to add insult to injury, I was charged .50 for a cup of water. This is the worse $27.90 (my check) that I will never see again! Thelma J. Garcia tgarcia701@comcast.net
