A college experience you need to have - whether you find it disgusting or not.

If you're looking for a nice place to take a date, this isn't it. If you're looking for a healthy place, you're in the wrong spot. If you desire fine furnishing - go elsewhere.

But if you like greasy fries, stinky pizza, a place to buy beer on weekends when the beer stores close, and a parmesan sandwich that keeps you coming back - especially with those aforementioned fries - after you've been drinking in Souf Oaklin - go here. Drop your money. Pass out and do it again.

I hope this place is here forever even if you do occasionally see people doing smack in the restroom downstairs.

Food:

Horrible for the price, $5.00 hot dogs were old, and $10.00 cheese steaks had very little meat, would rather have overcooked microwaved hot dogs thats how bad they were, waited ten minutes to find an employee and every time I went to one counter the employees would leave and go to A different one . Like they were running from me , there is no menus with prices so you have to guess at what you want and see if they have it . And the clientele was very shady

Food:

The worst customer service I've ever experienced. When I approached the counter to get what I thought was my food the lady behind the counter barked "this isn't for you" at me. Also a pretty confusing set up for anyone who is new to this establishment.

Food:

Your new worthless owners need to get better hot dogs...the ones now are absolutely disgusting and taste like rubber. At one time these were actually good hot dogs but now replaced with cheaper garbage...also start accepting credit cards...it is 2016. Very poor Gross food...don't waste your s4.99 on their hot dogs!

I didn't see any, and I'm sure it was available for the asking, but these dogs need to be issued with some utensils. I had a regular dog with sauerkraut, chili, onions, and the usual condiments - the hot dog bun didn't even survive the meal, turning mushy and falling apart making everything a huge mess. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty, and I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again, I'd just know now to ask for silverware. The side of fries were huge, enough for two people. There's a ton of beer - all kinds. And lots of beverage options. The bathroom is in the basement, and there's overflow seating upstairs. There service was efficient but not at all very friendly. Not rude , mind you. Just not customer oriented 'friendliness'. Overall a nice experience, just bring some wet-naps with you.
