"My buddy takes these "to go" and brings them to work for all of us. After 20 minutes in the car and half cold the hot dog is still the best! Don't forget the fresh house made giardiniera!!"
"THE BEST Italian beef and hot dogs in the burbs; quite possibly the best beef around. Homemade every day. And the giardinera is homemade too! A great family-owned spot."
"Always look forward to having a delicious Italian beef sandwich when we are in the area! Everyone is so friendly, and this past Fall Angela and fellow employees went the extra mile for me to make it possible to bring some Little Joe's to my dad in St Louis... it really meant a lot!"
"The BEST Italian Beef and sausage combo anywhere. Have been a patron for +40 years. 1st place I visit when back in town."
"This little place was fantastic. Relaxed atmosphere, wonderful people at the counter, and some amazingly satisfying food for very little money. Loved every bit of it."
About Us
