Important messages:

We have a few bits of information to cover today.

But first, a big thank you to all our customers! Without your support, we wouldn’t be able to make it through the COVID restrictions facing many businesses. We really appreciate your support during this difficult time.

We have a BIG change to our ordering and delivery service.

As you probably know, offering delivery via some of the 3rd party service providers can be very challenging for a small business, can be expensive for customers, and also doesn’t help our locally owned delivery companies that are also part of our Chicago community.

For those reasons, we’ve decided to create our own online menu and switch to JJ Delivery —a locally owned, small business—to handle our deliveries. JJ’s drivers receive 100% of their tips and the delivery fees for customers are a much lower flat rate no matter your order size.

Please help us by ordering on our new in-house system and supporting two local businesses in the process. Typical delivery is 30-45 minutes from your order time.

And of course, you may still order carryout via our new menu systems as well.

Update on dine-in options.

We are working hard to get both restaurants ready to open for dine-in but we're not quite there yet. Our re-open team consists of both managers and staff who are finalizing the details of our safety protocol. So while other restaurants may be open, please be patient with us while we listen to our team and analyze the data. We don’t want to rush into this decision. A month of increased sales just isn’t worth the risk to team member or customer health. Watch our social media accounts for our re-open date. In the meantime, please order pickups directly through us via our new online system.

AND…specials are back! 

We’ve re-started our specials with three of your faves! Philly Cheesesteak, Baja Fishless Tacos, and the Banh Mi. Order via our new online menu.

Thanks again!

It took a lot of wind from our sales to completely shut down our restaurants at the start of the COVID crisis and it will take longer for us to ramp up our options and services as things open up. In the meantime, we appreciate all the support from everyone. Without your patience and orders, we would not be here. Love and socially distanced hugs to all.
