No problem. The website doesn't really do them justice. The newer restaurants are massive and all decked out on the inside with memorabilia and neon. They staff probably 20 people inside most of the time but the kitchens are so large that everyone has room to move and do their job.

When I go next time I'll remind myself to snap some pictures inside for you. There's one a couple miles from my house that I drive by sometimes depending on where I'm working that day. I'll get you some drive thru shots too.

The only out of state location I've been to was in Wisconsin and it was the same routine there except, they had bratwurst and cheese curds on the menu along with all the other Chicago style goodies. It wasn't as busy as the ones around here but was still humming better than the McDonalds. That was also a couple years ago and the store was only a few months in so, who knows by now.
