Look no further.. This is the one!!. Made exactly how i like it.. and ordered it! My food was hot & ready, fresh off the grill!! In my opinion.. this is the Number #1 Maxwell's in the Chicagoland area hands-down!!. Especially, since the 79th St. Maxwell's closed. They also make those same exact REAL Fresh-Cut potato fries like 79th St. did!!. Say Less!!.

I took my sister here to purchase a few tacos. I was shocked to know that the polish sausage place sold tacos. I tried their tacos for the 1st time, and I have to admit it was pretty good.

I love their chicken tacos, beef polish, fries, and icy cups. They sell pops, juice, and waters. They accept debit cards, and the service is fast. The Maxwell's Street near my home doesn't cover any of the items above except for beef polishes and hamburgers. In result, they couldn't do that right. And since its cash only, their ATM is outside in the cold. So anytime I have a taste for Maxwell's Street, I drive past the restaurant near me for this location. Lastly, they are always open, including holidays.
