Very good food. Got a bacon egg and cheese was made fresh and quick. Also got a cup of coffee that was also made fresh while I waited for my food.

Grew up on these chili mustard onion dogs starting when I pumped gas at my father's business on Saturdays @ 12 yrs old 40 yrs ago.The best hot dog chili IMO.Stopped for 2 last week to reminisce.... Still great.Yes, they look like a mess since they were wrapped in to-go paper!

Last week, I was in Plainfield helping a friend with his stalled car when I had a quick interaction with one of the staff members (possibly the owner or manager), and I could immediately tell this place is run by great people. Their kindness really stood out—not only in the way they treated us but also in their generosity. It’s clear they truly care about their customers, and that kind of hospitality is rare to find these days.My girlfriend and I decided to grab something to eat, and I’m so glad we did. We had the ribeye steak sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing! The steak was grilled perfectly, the hoagie roll was fresh, and the flavors all came together perfectly. It was exactly what we needed after a long day. The welcoming atmosphere and great food made this a memorable experience, and we’re already planning another trip to try more of their menu. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the area!
