    Stopped in for Chicago Style hot dogs while passing through the area on a Route 66 trip. We had a group of 4. Our order was taken promptly and our food was hot and ready in a short period of time. I had the Chicago Style dog and cheddar stuffed jalapeño poppers while my wife had the corn dog meal with fries. Both were very good. I especially liked the spicy pepper that was tucked in with the pickles, tomatoes and onions. I would definitely go back for the dogs and to try some other menu items on the Gyro side of the menu.

    Italian Beef

    I was surprised when I drove up on a Friday night before the Super Bowl and two cars were in the parking lot. My order was ready and the fries were already cold before I got them in the car. My tamale and hamburgers, I microwaved. But my disappointment of all is my Italian Beef on Garlic bread, with an Extra Beef. When did they change!!??? That was the BEST part of ordering the extra meat was the overly stuffed little sandwich. I am so disappointed with the drizzle of mozzarella cheese and a half soggy piece of bread. My childhood memory is gone. No worries I won't order it again. Nope! I guess new management. There was a time when you could barely get in the parking lot. This presentation is probably why no one was inside. The good ole days!

    Maxwell Street Polish with Fry

    My partner and I came here on Wednesday May 29th for a quick bite to eat. We ordered a polish with French fries. The polish was made Chicago style with a poppy seed bun, and they were generous with the toppings. The polish sausage itself was cooked to perfection. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We took our order to go, and they wrapped it nicely with foil. It's also our first time coming here, and we are looking forward to coming back to try other items on their menu. There's plenty of free parking on premise, but it can be a bit awkward to get into the lot when cars are parked by the entrance. Other than that, I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for fast food. They also have several other locations in the Chicagoland area.

    I've visited Joeys several times this year, and the majority of the visits have been great. I love the hot dogs and fries and the gyro with fries. Joey's Serves a very large amount of food for a cheap price so their food is a great deal. The food is cooked fresh, but there is a long wait, so I recommend that you order ahead on the phone. I would have given Joeys 5 stars, but unfortunately you just messed my order up this weekend. I attempted to call Joeys on Saturday night on October 9th 2021 at 6:30 to place an order, but your phone number with disconnected! When drove to the restaurant the first thing I noticed is that your young staff were not wearing face masks! Your employees should not be working around food without a mask! It's ironic that they remembered to put ear buds in to listen to music, but couldn't remember their protective gear. Secondly, my gyro meat was sliced too thick and it was chewy! Major turn off. Thirdly, we ordered and paid for 4 extra Pita breads that we did not receive! Sadly, we could not call and complain because your phone was disconnected. Pay your phone bill Joey's!!!!! Maybe you should hire a more mature staff and train them properly. Get it together Joey's!!!!

    Joey's will give you the feels of an authentic hot dog establishment. The photos on the wall are classic old Chicago (you won't see any diversity... but that's pretty accurate considering the chains began in Bridgeport). The food was flavorful... the veggie hot dog was delicious, although I haven't tried many in my life. The famous chicken Philly was hot, fresh, and simply wonderful! Their menu provides a lot of options. The Italian ice was fabulous! My kids and I are in the car because it didn't look like much cleaning occurs on a regular basis in the eating areas... but there are constant customers coming in. The service would be my lowest rating. The young lady who took my order and the orders I witnessed wasn't the most pleasant, but she was quick with the orders. There are public restrooms. Parking lot with lots of space. Overall, three stars. I would give my food 4.5, but the service and the fact they pretty much forgot my second order (we went back for a shake and the Italian ice after our food). It's worth a try, but if the lady taking your order isn't pleasant, please look beyond her and enjoy the meal! Sometimes people have a bad day.

    Their hot dogs are decent but the rest of the food is subpar at best. Just eat the hot dogs and avoid the rest of the menu.

    Wow! So happy I finally got to come here. They have recently started accepting some reservations…read moreand I was lucky enough to get one. I understand why they are famous for their burgers. I had the single cheeseburger and it lived up to the hype. I learned that the single burger is actually a double and the double is actually a triple. I was recommended to add an egg and bacon to the burger and I'm glad I did. Each bite was a glorious burst of flavor. The bacon is epic. Thick juicy slices. The cheeseburger was perfect. I didn't need additional condiments and that never happens for me. The fries were good too and came with a delicious aioli. For beverages, I loved my Arnold Palmer. I also tried a cocktail--the Long Island Iced Coffee. It was pretty strong. I added a shot of bourbon cream to it and that sweetened it up and made it perfect for me. Unfortunately, I didn't have room for dessert. Cute restaurant. Cozy inside. They have an outdoor patio as well. If you don't have a reservation, be prepared to wait. Excellent food. Excellent service. Jennifer took great care of me and made great suggestions. It's pricy but it's worth it.

    My friend wanted to go to Au Cheval while we were both visiting Chicago, which is one of the most…read morepopular restaurants for tourists. I've heard the wait is insane, so it's recommended to make a reservation on Resy. Off the bat, I was already side-eyeing this process. I had to pay $2.49 per person to secure a reservation, which is crazy. This is not a deposit either, which I would have understood. I've just never encountered a restaurant that charges a fee to make a reservation. Upon arrival, we got seated immediately (which I would hope so, after paying to make a reservation). Our server collected our orders quickly and our food came out about 15-20 minutes later. CRISPY FRIES - 13.99 Charging $14 for a side of fries is wild enough, but topping it with a completely solid fried egg was baffling. I'm not sure what the culinary vision was. Are we supposed to mash it all together into some sort of hash brown situation, or awkwardly eat the fried egg on its own? The fries themselves were fine, nothing to write home about. However, I did enjoy the mornay sauce and garlic aioli that came on the side. SINGLE CHEESEBURGER - 17.99 +3.49 for egg Over $20 for a burger that doesn't come with sides? I was a little disappointed my burger came with a side of a knife instead. I thought the whole gimmick was having the knife strike straight down into the burger. Beyond that, the burger wasn't anything unique. The bun itself was dry and mid, not the soft and fluffy bun I had envisioned. Everything else was fine -- not bad, but certainly not great. While it wasn't a bad burger, I can't help but feel incredibly disappointed given the hype around Au Cheval burgers. My friend told me the way to "fully experience" Au Cheval is to get the cheeseburger plus both the egg and bacon add-ons, which our server also recommended. I did try a piece of my friend's bacon with my burger and it does add a depth of smoky sweetness. However, that becomes a 17.99 + 3.49 + 6.99 = 28.47 for a burger. That's insane. The add-ons themselves cost more than half of the burger. I'm not doing that to my wallet. Sorry, but this was a disappointing experience for me. I'd rather just go to Shake Shack, which at least comes with tasty and juicy burgers for 1/3 of the price.

It came with pita bread which added to the dinning experience. Just wonderfully enjoyable. My wife enjoyed the Fish and Chips which beat Bobby Flay. True words from the menu.
