History

Coming from the suburbs of Chicago, we were just a couple of guys that had high expectations of what food options should be avaiable to the public. Growing up, we indulged in Chicago's traditional style of dining: good ole' burgers, hot dogs, and Italian beef. We were only 21 years old when we decided to start our business, and since we had no previous experience in the restaurant business, we faced many challenges. Through experimenting with different combination's of foods, qualities, tastes, sizes, and recipes we found just what we were looking for, bringing a little taste of Chicago into the Greater Lafayette Area.

Could get all the food at Gordon food service, but it's gas when you're hammered / fried. Cool ambiance... but every chef is fried. Bathroom is cooked from drunk college kids.

Food? Service? Ambiance? All good, and checks out to me! Their burgers are just so juicy and well-executed, in my opinion - they're much better than the more-famed XXX. This was my go-to burger...
