I used Skip’s catering for a large corporate family event that I organized and I can’t recommend them enough. The owner Gabe was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the planning process and was such a pleasure to work with. Definitely recommend these guys if you’ve got a picnic or event that needs some awesome burgers and hot dogs!

The Italian Beef with hot pepper dipped was fair. I added cheese which may be a sin but oh well it was shredded anyways. The combo was portioned well with fries and the sandwich was dipped and assembled expertly. The place is all about vibes at this point. If you’re home sick for Chicago, I’d recommend.

Came here for a late lunch during the week, and it wasn't too busy. Mad at myself for taking so long to get here. Loved the vintage decor inside. Gave it the real Chi-Town fan feel. Staff was fast and super nice taking orders. I got the Chicago style dog and an Italian beef. Both were amazing, and what I loved about the place were the prices being so reasonable! This is one of two places in the entire ATL Metro I've been to that do a Chicago-style dog proper justice. I'll be back.

The ownership takes customer service to a whole new level. From Chicago, craving Italian Beef. It's my birthday so I google best in the area. It was well worth it. Any Chicago food craving will be satisfied. The owner is a fantastic old school guy and runs a remarkable business.

2025-1 Update: As promised, I came back for the Italian beef... dipped, with hot peppers. It was just as I remembered from Chicago, although I wouldn’t get dipped....the bread dissolved making it a fork and knife operation. My wife had a tasty burger. Service and atmosphere is great. We will be back!!! Original 2024 review: Great place for you to enjoy some Chicago favorites in a Chicago styled fast food establishment. Great staff and food. I has a Chicago dog combo, and will be back for another of my favorites, the Italian beef. Many other items from wings and burgers to cheese stakes and polish sausage. Indoor and outdoor dining. I stopped by mid afternoon for a quick bite. Interestingly bathrooms are accessed from outside.

REALLY good Hot Dogs! Loved the polish dog and the snap it had. My brother got at a Chicago style dog he LOVED it! The pizza puff was just a hot pocket, we probably wouldn’t get it again. But overall, it was delicious and we would come back to try their sandwiches and other hot dogs.

Excellent Chicagoland food! The Italian Beef sandwich was superb! Chicago dogs perfect! Very fresh tasting and flavorful. And the Peanut Butter shake was the bomb! Love it!

I just met the Grandson of Skip. This is a very authentic place. I spent 12 years in Chicago! Eating the brat with side of onion rings.
