Comments:
The pizza has a cracker thin crispy crust.  The burgers can be customized with any toppings you choose.  The pizza is consistently tasty, but the same can't be said for the burgers.  When they're not overcooked, they're delicious - best mom and pop burger you can find locally.  Unfortunately, we could both order burgers cooked "medium" and one will come out as requested and the other will be well done.  It's not logical, but it's true.  There's a large bar and many tv screens.  This is a good place to watch a sporting event, but get there early.  They have another (original) location in Mundelein, too, but this one is closer to home so that's why we choose it.  Be cognizant of the Grayslake Farmer's Market schedule in the summer as it takes place on Center Street.
