Love this place, great food and great people. There's just ONE thing I wish they'd do that they don't do: could you guys please include nutrition information on the menu? Or maybe have printouts available upon request with at least nutritional estimates? I know it would vary a lot, especially for the dogs of the month, but I'm sure the sausages and brats have that info on their packaging, the buns probably do too, then all it would take is recording the approximation for whatever mixtures or toppings go on the dogs. You'd only have to total it all up once for each dog, document it, and then never have to worry about it again. Assuming measurements/quantities are similar for each kind of hotdog, it would at least provide an estimate to go by if you're counting calories or trying to hit some nutritional minimum. It would've helped me out a lot on my visit today. Doesn't have to be exact, just something to give someone a rough idea of nutritional/caloric value.

Was very disappointing... Not at all what I expected! Little hole in the wall! Food was average at best! Only people in the place and they got the order wrong! Won't go back and wouldn't recommend to anyone... Had trouble finding it... Door way overgrown with vine...

First time trying the hotdogs, was really good. The staff was nice and helped me pick a new favorite that I'll definitely come back to get.

A few years ago I discovered Chicago Cafe. And they made a really good, authentic tasting Italian beef. I was so happy. Second visit was okay, but not great. Flavor wasn't there. Third visit was terribly disappointed. They seemed to not even care anymore. Stayed away for over a year. Recently decided to give them another chance. What a mistake. Everything is wrong with their Italian beef now. Wrong bread, way too wimpy to hold au jus, just falls apart. Au jus has absolutely NO flavor. If you can't taste or smell any hint of garlic, it's not Italian beef. As for the beef itself, dry and without any taste at all. Comparable to cardboard. Even after sandwich was made "wet", somehow the beef still tasted dry. Seemed like it was cooked and sliced long, long ago, and reheated. I only went this time cuz I'm too lazy to tear down and clean my home deli slicer. Never again. I'll gladly be making my own at home THE RIGHT WAY, no matter how much work is involved. Sad that nobody cares to do things right anymore

Best little Cafe in Florence! The food is amazing!

Loved the food. Amazing sandwiches. I will be back soon, recommend everyone to come try food here.

Gotta get the loaded chips! I loved them, had them with a Chicago dog, which I also enjoyed. They don't do Chicago style deep dish pizza though, but their pizza isn't bad, especially for bar pizza. Because you can get their food while at Wildwood right next door.

I guarantee you will love the food!! great place and good location.

Such a cute, quaint little joint with delicious Chicago style hot dogs! The service was very courteous & the food delish! We'll be back if ever we find ourselves in Florence, Alabama again.?

This place was so much fun. They have an interesting selection of hotdog options. They have a special drink created by one of the bartenders each month. And a really fun old school game room. Great spot for kids and a fun place for a date night.
