The first location was opened on the east side of Chicago and the second was opened for the original owner's son in Calumet City. This son, Tom, is who bought the joint in Munster in 2016 and made it a fast-food paradise.
While most take their food to go, this adorable little diner is a lovely place to enjoy your meal. It features cafe seating, vintage decor, and rustic furnishings.
