    Hot dog and owner

    Just perfect. Exactly what you need from a hotdog shop in the city. Incredible food, great portions, fun spot. And the couple running it were so nice!

    Chicago style hot dog

    This is a great mom and pop shop. The guy is hilariously sarcastic and the for is made fresh. We're just in the area 2 days, we ate today and are planning to return tomorrow for lunch! Delicious!!

    Cheeseburger- 5/5 - made to order, fresh ingredients-meat, cheese, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup, mustard, mayo

    This mom and pop place is going to be my Go To burger spot. Even though they are known for their Broasted chicken (which I still need to try), my boyfriend was craving a wholesome burger, so I scoured Yelp and Google for a place. I found this one - which wasn't even listed on Yelp. It's a cash only spot that's been there for ages. The owners are a married couple who take your order, cook your food, and ring you up. It's a two person dream team. When you arrive, you tell the man what you'd like (chicken, hot dog, or burger) and he starts putting it together. If you order a burger, he puts out two buns and then has you tell him what you want on it (similar to subway/chipotle), so you know your order will be correct. When you order fries, the woman takes them out of the fridge and puts them in the oil. When they're done cooking, the man hold up the salt shaker and asks you whether you want any ( this is great for customers who can't have much salt). Then the woman rings you up. For two cheeseburger meals, with one cheese fry, and one regular fry (plus extra added for our dog), and two drinks the total was about $14. The cheeseburger 5/5 - cooked to order - fresh ingredients - perfect proportion of condiments : mustard, ketchup, and Mayo - the patty may be skinny, but it wasn't over cooked; there was even a little pink (I usually order rare to med rare, and believe me having any pink in a thin patty is nigh impossible). It was also a large diameter. My guess is it was 1/4 - 1/3lb of meat. - other toppings : lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles The cheese fries: 4+/5 - Crinkle cut - made to order - salted per your liking - the cheese sauce is actually like a really good nacho cheese. It's not spicy. It's warm. But I was expecting melted cheese, not a sauce, which is why I deducted a star. If I had known going into it that it was a cheese sauce, I still would have ordered it. And the cheese sauce is good, but I just wish I knew ahead of time that it was a sauce. The lemonade: 3.5/5 - this is not from a fountain, which I was stoked about - I'm not sure if this is homemade or not - It wasn't too sweet - it was good, and I would get it again. It wasn't the best lemonade I've had, but it was far better than most. I will definitely be back. I need to try their chicken, but whenever I'm having a burger craving, this will be where I go. Tip: fried chicken takes 15 mins to make no matter if you order 2 pieces or 50, so the owner recommends calling ahead.

    Broasted chicken and broasted potatoes

    I came here for the broasted chicken because I heard it was good and it was amazing, the best I had in the area. I got the broasted potatoes as the side and love them. Service was great. The only thing I didn't know in advance is it's a cash only business and I wasn't prepared and had to go to the nearest atm. I definitely will be going back again and again.

    Classic dive joint for good greasy meal. You never go bad with Firehouse. The owner takes a lot of pride in making sure they stay reputable

    This place has really taken a downhill spiral…read more The last several time we've ordered from here the food has been terrible. From from the overcooked BBQ Chicken that has been sitting to long to the tasteless burger meat that's gives the flavor of what a Taco Bell meat patty would taste like without being seasoned. Last night will be our last visit. We ordered a gyro sandwich with tomatoes only. After arriving home we found all of the gyro pieces to be cut chunky as if the were the last pieces left clinging to the metal rod of the rotisserie. The meat tasted old and unseasoned and none had the outer char that is so appealing with gyros. To top things off the drive through service is no longer customer focused. They spend more time talking to each other instead of attending to the customers. I'm not sure if there was an ownership change or loss of great staff due to attrition. Not a hello, how are you or any thank you when you pay. I apologize for the low quality of the close up shots of the gyro pieces. You can see though how it is chopped into large pieces instead of slices along the cone for crispy longer thin pieces.

    Their food is always good fresh and hot. I ordered the half bbq chicken with baked potato. I added…read moretossed salad as well to complete my meal.the total was $11 and change for all of this. You can get a nice healthy meal that's priced nice and sit in peace enjoying your meal. Keep making my belly happy!!
