Did you try the Garlic Cheesy beef?

Yeah, they do there own beef. Its good.


Hopefully we can get some car meets going next spring, because I just bought that place. Finally finally found something just right and its 10 minutes from my house. The closing date will be end of November.

Holy shit, congrats man!

Buy the blockbuster lot next door for parking since that lot is super small.

Well hell yea!!

No one seemed to work there after Checkers closed but they've done a good job keeping it going. I always see cars rolling through.

Thank you, I've been going back and forth between a hot dog/beef joints or pizza for many months now. This business was family owned and is very well cared for.

I had to have the warm fuzzy feelings before I pulled the trigger on any place. This definitely is the one.

Heck yeah, the drive thru is the money maker. They started it from scratch about 8 years ago. They did a great job

I've already figured it out. After closing (9pm) I can get at least 15 cars. The drive thru wraps all the way around and street parking. Its a quiet side street

LOL! I love how you started this thread. Anybody ever been to this place? Cause I just bought it. Congrats dude, I'll be sure to hit it up! How large is the parking lot?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

not big enough

 

[SMRTSS1]

Congrats, I'll definitely be stopping buy.

I know it's not popular but get some veggie dogs. No one has them other than Doctor Dogs in Roselle and there are a lot of vegetarians that crave a good hot dog (namely my wife).

 

[THEE OG]

I live close. Lmk when you have some cars out. I will drive one of the piles out.

 

[MIKES3]

Thanks guys, I officially get handed the keys on 12/7. I'll have the food, sanitation and handling cert. by the end of the month.

So far so good.
