Nice little corner joint! Had a hangover lettuce burger was delicious. 8/10, the fries were good, fresh, decent fries, nothing special but crispy, which was great The staff was very pleasant, helpful and efficient! They have Bathrooms there, and you can eat outdoors, which is great. The inside has 4 tables that seat 4 people and 5 booths, so it does get full around lunch and dinner time. There is a lot of room to park your car as well, coming back here to try more things. I'm happy prices were not bad at all for the amount of food we got!

So this is no exaggeration, I think this is the best Cheesesteak Sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. THIS PLACE should be the restaurant of carpentersville, not Taco Bell

I've been coming to this place for lunch almost every week for the past 15 years, and I can honestly say it has never let me down. The consistency, quality, and flavor keep me coming back time and time again. Their Rodeo Cheeseburger is, hands down, the best burger you'll find within a 10-mile radius—possibly even farther. The patty is always perfectly grilled, juicy, and full of rich, savory flavor. It’s topped with crispy onion rings, smoky bacon, melted cheese, and just the right touch of barbecue sauce, all layered on bed og jalapenos. Every bite is a delicious combination of textures and tastes that hits all the right notes—salty, smoky, slightly sweet, and incredibly satisfying. Whether you're a burger connoisseur or just someone looking for a solid, flavorful meal, this burger delivers every single time. But it’s not just the food that makes this place special—the staff are truly top-notch. Over the years, they’ve been consistently friendly, professional, and attentive. Whether you’re a regular like me or a first-time visitor, they always greet you with a smile and make you feel welcome. Their genuine hospitality adds so much to the experience and makes every visit something to look forward to. If you’re in the area and craving a truly memorable burger, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is a local gem.
