  The food -
  Excellent.  Nice variety, greasy Greek-style eats.  The tzatziki is flavorful, and the meats are well cooked.  One order of fries will provide enough for a family of four.  My kids are particularly fond of the milkshakes here, as well.
  
  The location-
  The place is pretty dirty.  The store has that vaguely-sticky quality of being mopped with dirty water.  The air inside is redolent with the very grease that makes the food so good.  The bathrooms are, sadly, pretty much unusable.
  
  The service -
  The real tripping point, in my opinion.  Filled to the brim with surly, moderately attractive teenage girls who act as if they are doing you a favor to take your order.  These ladies seem brusk and disinterested to the point that I had begun to think all of them were the resentful daughters of the owners.  Not so.  Just snarky, entitled Lake Central princesses who clearly would rather be anywhere else, doing anything else.  It is bad enough that I've avoided eating here for months at a time...which is a shame, because their chicken on a pita is some of the best junk food in the county.  
  
  Overall - If someone else orders, you'll probably love the food.  If you're the one who has to brave the counter...avoid.

  What a great place. Wish I lived closer. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is really personal and engaging, the food is delicious (lightest most delicious pitas anywhere) and the owner is a nice person. If you've ever loved anything about cars, you have to visit and I'm not telling you more because I don't want to spoil the surprise. But if you can get there on a Friday or Saturday night in warm weather there is yet ANOTHER surprise (okay, that one is not hard to guess). If you are headed east on Route 30 it's an easy in, if you are traveling west on Route 30 it's not as easy but it's worth it. Turn around! Go back.

  If you want local grease, this place is it! Hot dogs are awesome, and their vast array of other food like gyros, steak sandwiches and burgers are good as well.  Can't go wrong with cheap grease!

  It's cheap, it's fast, it's tasty...what else could you possible want from a hot dog shop? This place is not like gourmet-type food, obviously, but the service is always quick, and you never leave feeling hungry.  Plus every once in awhile they have car shows that are pretty impressive.

  A good place to get a burger.  They are not healthy but that is okay sometimes.  I loved it when I was working because I can get a good lunch for a good price.  My husband and I go here after shopping at the mall.
