    Tasty Enough, But Could Use a Little TLC We stopped into Max's Dawg House in Red Top Plaza for a quick bite and tried the cheeseburgers, fries, and an order of breaded mushrooms. The food was solid--nothing spectacular, but definitely satisfying. The fries appeared to be fresh-cut, the burgers hit the spot, and the mushrooms had a nice crunch. No complaints on flavor--just nothing that knocked our socks off either. The one area that could really use some attention is the cleanliness and general appearance of the place. It's not terrible, but it's a little rough around the edges. One of the baseboards was missing, and there were a few mystery splashes on the wall that gave off strong "we'll get to it eventually" energy. It doesn't ruin the meal, but it does take away from the overall experience. It feels like a neighborhood spot with potential, and with just a little more attention to upkeep, it could easily bump up to 4 stars.

    Two Dawg's, all-the-way with fries.

    Stopped by to grab a late lunch. Ordered their two Dawgs special and they asked me if I wanted them charred on the grill a bit...why not! Both dawgs were dressed all-the-way and came with fries and a drink. Staff is friendly and order was made fresh and fast. I like their fries, they cook them a little more well-done....and they are not greasy. Both Dawgs were dressed completely even with a little-subtle celery salt, which some places miss, it's not a Chicago Dog without it. Tables and floor were clean and or you can sit outside at picnic tables on the sidewalk with umbrellas. I will be back, good example of Chicago-Style hot dogs.

    This is a typical greasy spoon and I WILL go back! I had a pizza puff (classic to this type of establishment). The grilled cheese was (picky) toddler approved. Their seasoned waffle fries were really tasty! And the Chicago style hot dog was okay (a little over cooked, per my husband). Not something I'd want to eat all the time (the pizza puff was so deliciously greasy), but it was good!

    First time. Good food, good fries. We got in right before the lunch rush took the food to go and ate across the street at the park.

    I have heard good things about this restaurant and finally got a chance to go with some friends and…read morelet me just start by saying their horchata is 10/10. No chalky aftertaste, sweet but not overly. You order from a kiosk and then wait for your number to be called. I got the two quesibirria taco dinner with rice and it comes with a consume. This place does Quesabirria tacos correctly.The flavor was there. The amount of meat and cheese you get in the taco perfection. The flavor of the rice went well with the meal. Again The horchata was absolutely delicious. The meall came with chips and they have a little salsa bar that you can try different ones with your things. The elote, I could skip that, but that doesn't bring it down a star. It just wasn't the typical taste profile of elote.I feel like it was trying to do a little bit too much. It's a brightly lit restaurant. The decorations are nice, and the music playing creates a whole vibe. This is definitely on my list of places to go back.

We came in around 8pm on a Friday night and were able to enjoy some $3 drinks, and delicious tacos. We thought we were there late but tons of folks joined in shortly after. I tried the aqua frescas, and their orange dirty soda. The aquas were delightful, they have a Jamaica and a pina. The orange dirty soda wasn't my favorite but it was good. I got the steak tacos because they are my favorite, they are tender and full of flavor. While they have a salsa bar you don't even need the salsas because they are just that great! We ended with our churro milkshake which is a treat that everyone should experience! We love jnvicto and the service is always great.

Stayed true and got a classic with provolone. I had one of these twenty years ago in Philadelphia proper and I will say this is the best I've had since. The Classic is a truly yummy sandwich. The melted mix of meat, cheese, and onions is outstanding. The bread was soft and held the sandwich together nicely. Excellent. The fries are really good and you absolutely need these. Next time won't be first time and I'll plan my meal and errand schedules better. I'm planning on working top to bottom on the menu.

We tried a couple sandwiches and WOW... the flavor is next level The steak is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and piled high, the bread is soft with that perfect bite, and everything just comes together so well. You can tell they really care about doing it right. Hands down one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've had around here--no question On top of that, the owner is an awesome guy Super friendly, welcoming, and you can tell he takes pride in the place. That kind of energy makes the experience even better. Great food, great vibes, great people. Highly recommend checking this spot out
