Old Chicago Red Hots

This place is local in town and I truly want to like it because its Convenient.    But I just can't.  The food is bad.  I have given them second chances and I always regret that I did.   First, they take FOREVER to cook something simple as a hot dog.   Then you get the hot dog and its on a cold bun.   The pizza is Dominos type quality, the pasta is just ok (kind of tasteless)....and the gyros, which regrettably I have tried 3-4 times (I know stupid right,) is always tough and dry.  I have sworn to stay away from this place.  I believe the owners don't care what the locals think because they will always get the tourist crowd due to their location and flashy store front signage.

This is the same owner as Rosati's Pizza in Antioch, and i'll say the same about them. . . I used to love this place. Their beef especialy. I went in there last night to order dinner and the owner Jay was extremely rude to me. I was using a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> gift certificate and was trying to reach the 15 min limit. When i placed my order he told me the total was $14.97 so i changed my order to an x large fry instead of large, only a dollar more. There is an automatic 18% gratuity added to the the total. When i gave him the gift certificate he told me my total after the discount is $12.50. I questioned him as to why the total is so high and told him to recheck it because it is wrong. He insisted it wasn't wrong and i said whatever happened to the customer being always right. His response was F*CK the Customer!! I was so offended, I will never be returning to this place.

I was looking for an Italian beef sandwich on the way to Oshkosh.  None to be found from searching on Yelp as I headed out of O'Hare.  Luck was with me, though.  We got off the toll road and "settled" for a Red Hot place.  I was thrilled to see Italian beef on the menu -- $6.50 for the sandwich (of course with hot giardiniera), a side of onion rings, and a soda.  

Service was friendly, speedy -- and helpful (the fellow who brought out our meals thought to see if my friend had a soup spoon and seeing he did not, brought one over).

Very good flavor, nice roll, giardiniera and dipping juice just oily enough.  Great find!

This is on the toll exit as you head to 6 Flags.
