Large menu and all the food that was coming out looked great! Â My favorite was the Francheezy. Â Large cheddar link wrapped in bacon, deep fried and served with some kick a** fresh fries! Â Also, had the Gyros Burger and I was expecting a Gyros sandwich piled onto a hamburger bun, but it was just a few strips added onto to a standard patty. Â Still a tasty burger and if I ordered it again I would add additional meat and toppings. Â Also, the salads coming out looked excellent too. Â I will definitely go back when in the neighborhood!
Review Source:I really love their food and the owner and staff have a real family friendly atmosphere. The food is great with an expansive menu that has a lot of vegetarian friendly options.
I usually order the Turkey Burger and  you will not find a juicier or more flavorful alternative Burger option around. The Italian Sausage is great as well. Highly recommend.
Tried this place because of the voucher. Got the ribs and the Mr. C's burger. The ribs were alright. The burger was pretty good with the gyro meat and the tzatziki sauce. The place is actually smaller than what I was expecting. One of the owners was not so friendly. Overall not bad, but not some place I would go to every week.
Review Source:I came here on Monday with my son and sister and all three of us loved it. Â The place is clean and decorated in a retro music theme.
I had the polish sausage and my son had the kids corn dog meal and we spent less than $9! Â The fries are awesome, not too greasy and come with a hot dog or sausage which is great. Â My sister tried the hot dog meal and liked it but I am sure she will write her own review.
The staff seemed nice, we didn't talk to them too much. Â Our food was out pretty fast although it was a little bit before someone took our order.
I am hooked and encourage everyone to try Mr. C's!
Tip #1: Get the Yelp Deal ($10 for $20 worth of food) it is WELL worth it considering it fed the three people in my group (me and two of my guy friends)
We ordered:
Side salad
turkey burger (added fries and drink)
2 Slaw Dogs (these come with fries)
2 Regular Hot dogs (these come with fries, too)
So four hot dogs, enough fries to feed an army, a burger, a salad, and a drink all for $20?! Â SCORE!!!
OK, moving on. Â The staff is really nice, efficient, and funny. Â They were laughing at me when I had to stare at the menu for a good ten minutes trying to decide since everything looked really good!
As for the actual food, it was really good. Â My salad was just iceburg lettuce and tomato. Â Nothing special. Â But my turkey burger was REALLY yummy! Â It wasn't just a previously frozen patty, it was fresh and well-seasoned. Â The bun was really good, too.
And everyone is right about the fries--they are really good. Â Nice and crispy on the outside and hot on the inside. Â Perfect!
Next time I am going to try the Mrs. C burger! Â I heard it's wonderful, and if the rest of the food is any indication, I am going to LOVE it!
Been here a few times since it's close to where I live and the food is good. Â I really like the veggie burger. It doesn't have that weird veggie burger taste that other ones do. Â The salads are good too...fresh veggies good dressing. Â My husband likes the hot dogs. Â Considering the lack of places to eat in this area, Mr C's is a welcome addition.
Review Source:Nice little hot dog stand. Clean place, fast service, full menu. Went with the Chicago dog this time. All the toppings were fresh and generous, with the exception of the paper thin slice of pickle. Great fries, right amount of salt. Bun was bland, could have used a bit of heat, maybe a steamer... I'll be back to check more of the menu, and I expect my rating will improve.
Review Source:Probably the best hot dogs in Elgin. I never really understood the appeal of these places when I was in the city, but it's because of their rarity in the suburbs, and because of how difficult it is to get the hot dog right that makes this kind of food popular: that and the Vienna Beef products they use. There's a nice snap to the dog when you bite into it. The fries are crispy outside and creamy inside. I think it's almost up there with Poochie's in Skokie.
Review Source:I have many hot dog places by my house in Streamwood (Nana's, Chiggys, The Dogfather, etc.) but Mr. C's is my new favorite. Â This is a small family owned restaurant and the owners and staff are very friendly and personable.
They have 99 cent hot dogs on Tuesdays, which is a steal. They are Vienna Beef hot dogs and are really good. I had the gyros for lunch today and it was very tasty---better than the gyros at Chiggy's in my opinion. I don't know what it is about the fries, but they are awesome. Â They also have a burger with gyros meat (Mr C. Burger), which is really good.
If you are in the NW suburbs and haven't tried Mr. C's yet, what are you waiting for???
So, I went there again twice not too long after my first review. Â This time we tried the Gyros Burger as well as their Gyros Platter.
OMG their Gyros are awesome! :9 Â The fries, this time around, were hot, crispy and almost about the same par as Five Guys Fries...that's saying a lot! ;)
it's a Greek family owned place, so the items like their Spinach Pie or Gyros Dinner are going to be top notch!
Always met with a smile and the place is always clean and colorful!
This place used to reside on Barrington road in a literal hole in the wall. Â Last year they built a new strip mall in Elgin and I saw they were putting in a hot dog joint. Â I am always looking for a good dog in the area. Â I went in for a hot dog, but when I saw they had a "ripper" dog on the menu I had to give it a try. Â Now the regular dog was ok. Â They bun was poppy seedless and the dog was lost under all of the toppings. Â The hotdog was the size of my pinky. Â They also skimp on the pickle. Â It is not the wedge that I would like, it was a thin shaved pickle thrown on top. Â They throw a handful of fries on top of the dog, but they were a plain frozen fry and not that great. Â I had high hopes for the "ripper" dog. Â It was a jumbo dog that was deep fried. Â Now what I understand a "ripper" dog is thrown in the fryer and sits there until it "rips" open. Â This was sliced with a knife and warmed in the oil. Â I would have loved to see some color put onto the dog but really it was just a warm hotdog. Â
When I was a kid there were hot dog places everywhere. Â Now an independent hot dog joint is a rarity and it breaks my heart when they are not good. Â I wish this place had great hot dogs and fries, but sadly it does not stand out.
I tried this place out recently, they are pretty new in the new strip mall at Shales & 19 which is super convenient for me. Â I was pretty excited that we're finally getting some food places in this seemingly forgotten part of town. Â Sure it's a hotdog place with the typical fare, and sure I don't eat that type of food a lot, but when a hangover day comes around...watchout! Â I ordered a gyro well done and it was perfect, the fries were good and the giant size pop was exactly what I needed. Â The place is nice and clean and I felt that the staff was very friendly, I will definitely be going back.
