Kappy’s is a 50′s style diner that I don’t think has changed since it was build. They’re known for their cheesesteaks and ground beef cheesesteaks. I figured I would try the cheesesteak. It tasted good, but the meat was really chewy. I had a side of waffle fries that absolutely sucked. They were undercooked, which left them cold and doughy, and they were unsalted leaving them with no flavor. I didn’t find the staff to be too friendly, and they didn’t seem to care about how long it took to place your order or make your food.

Kappy’s does have a nice atmosphere with the classic diner look and feel. There were some items on the menu that I found interesting, and wouldn’t mind going back to try them, but overall, I was unimpressed.

Hot Dog Heaven

Hot Dog Heaven is not your ordinary hot dog stand. It specializes in Chicago style hot dogs, and offers a variety of options, from hot dogs with the works, to slaw dogs, kraut dogs, chili/cheese dogs, and a host of other toppings. The ingredients are fresh and tasty.  You can make your order a basket, which comes with french fries, and your choice of another side. Two dogs and an order of fries is a nice lunch for two. They also have kosher garlic dill pickles, which make for a refreshing side.

You can buy your drinks with a reusable plastic mug (in a variety of colors), and bring it back for $0.35 refills. It’s a nice additional savings for an already inexpensive lunch.

I always seem to go to Hot Dog Heaven on Saturday afternoons, and it’s always busy. Expect at least a 15 minute wait in tight quarters at peak times. It is worth it if you have the time though. If you don’t, make it a point to treat yourself off peak hours.
