“ I visited this business when visiting Chicago this weekend. I was amazed by the portions & taste for the prices. I was expecting the burgers in the combo to be smaller but they were the size of a whopper from bk & very good. We also had a shrimp basket that was very tasty & a pizza puff (not pictured). It was all amazing! The service was great & we will be visiting again & telling our friends! ”
