“ Best combo I’ve had absolutely amazing great food great great service also lady ordered cheeseburger for my lady amazing food ”
“ I've been here twice in the last week after my dad stopped in on a frigid day. He enjoyed their beef sandwich, and I decided to give them a try myself. I REALLY liked it. The volume of beef puts Portillo's Big Beef to SHAME, and it costs about a dollar less than theirs. I went back and had it a second time this week. The staff is friendly and make everything SUPER FAST. Definitely recommended! ”
“ Fries were okay, but the sandwich was incredible. Which is perfect because the sandwich is what I went there for. And service was above and beyond. The lady brought my food to my truck since I had my kids with me. Will certainly return. ”
“ Ordered two Gyros. I liked certain ways not too over cooked, little extra crispy white onion and a order of cheese fries. These guys always obliged. Great and very quick service. Good people works there. Will always go there. Thanks guys. Exceptional service. ”
“ They are fast and friendly with a large selection, from hamburgers & hot dogs to wings to pizza puffs and gyros. They are pretty reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. There are a few seats if you want to dine in at the even though the place is rather narrow. I have been going to Tommy's (Crystal Lake, they have several locations) for years and never disappointed. They even have "daily specials" to help save money, which is always a plus ( I like the two hot dogs, fries and drink special) it fills you up. Highly recommend this eatery. ”
“ Great grease joint in Bloomingdale. The Italian combo is delicious ”
