Off the Tracks Grill

What can I say? Their food isn't going to win any awards, but this place is very cheap, is in a prime location close to my work, and is the perfect hangover cure. The staff is very friendly too. I do recommend calling in your order, ahead of time if you are ordering carry out. You won't want to wait there, especially, if you are having a rough morning.

Super cheap place in the loop thats decent for lunch.  Nothing amazing really. We have a team breakfast on Fridays and they give us a really nice special for 10 people.   Super nice owner, and a short wait time will keep me coming back f

I always avoided this place as it is a typical greasy spoon type place.  Hot Dogs, Burgers, Gyros... ya know, the usual.

But being that I am on a low carb diet, I decided to stop in and try there breakfast.  I walked over from my office and walked in.  There were a couple other customers that just ordered waiting for food they just ordered.  I approach the register thinking, "I need a Denver Omelet.."  I ordered, and when asked what kind of toast I wanted, I passed on that and the potatoes as well.  

Now I know a restaurant isnt required to do so, but most places I have gone to give you SOME sort of discount when you arent taking toast and potatoes.  I mean, I am saving them money, yet they still charge me for the items that I wont eat.  I feel like next time this happens, I should just retract my statement and order it, and drop it off with some person on the street that could use the food..

There's an idea...  At least someone can enjoy it..
