It was good and reheated well in our air fryer at home! My husband liked the Jägerschnitzel. Unfortunately that day it was not as usually made. They were out of something that usually goes in it. My husband still enjoyed it very much. (I forgot to take a picture and it was unrecognizable before I could do so). I had the Bavarian Smash w/fries. I would never have "made" a burger with sauerkraut- but it worked! Heated up nicely at home. It's a large burger! Also the fries, although just wrinkle fries, were well cooked and actually had salt! Yum!! We also had a free dessert but didn't really care for it much. Brownie something served in a plastic cup. It had pistachios in it. Maybe if served differently it would have been more appetizing - maybe. I ended up throwing it away after we arrived home. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food! I would think those who work out in the training office just off the entrance to the building would find it difficult with the delicious smells coming out of this little open place in what I would call the lobby. Would go back with friends and try something different next time.

I love a great smashburger--thin, crispy and well seasoned. This was not it, although the pickles, tomatoes and lettuce were satisfying. Tasted bland, "frozen" type structure and no crispness.

I am trying to eat better maybe so went with the gyro. I was able to get to Bugsy's a little after 6pm which is key since they close a7pm. Only person in the place was Bugsy. Took my order and then sent me to go grab a seat. Since the place was empty that was easy. In about 10-15 minutes a very hot huge gyro and plate of fries shows up. Wow. I ate all the gyro but barely made a dent in the fries. The taziki (misspelled I know) sauce was delicious. The gyro was full of meat cooked so fine. Now the decor? Wow this place is retro. Definitely a Chicago fan also. Lots of memorabilia and stuff on the wall. The place is bright also. Bugsy is old school so not a chatter but efficient and effective. His restaurant is just like him. Old school perfection. No bull just dogs and gyros and home cut fries. An awesome trip back to the past. Short on glitz but huge on taste which is what counts.

The Italian beef, the gyro, and the chicken tenders were fantastic. The crinkle cut fries were also delish. The kids nuggets were less than great. However the kids meals come with "treasure" aka temporary tattoos, a paper hat to color, and a gummy candy. The kids meals also come in cute pirate themed boxes. The drinks are in a refrigerator by the register- there aren't fountain drinks. They have cans of soda and glass bottles of Fitz's. The place is very tiny. 5 booths inside and 2 tables outside. The air conditioning is also not up to par. Food is great and would come here again!

So to clarify, if you like a smash burger done on a flat grill, while you sit at the "bar" and watch the magic, and love fresh hot shoestring fries, and a soda with a consistently accurate post-mix, the you really need to try Gordon's. Make sure you have cash or use their helpful ATM. Service is fast and friendly, atmosphere is the true diner experience and never is heard a discouraging word. I highly recommend Gordon's Stoplight Drive-In. Actually it's more like a "walk-up" to the outside order window, and you can grab one of their pic-nic tables outside when the weather is nice. *****
