The Core of Chicago

"Chicago Girl here. Born and raised. Moved to Texas 12/ 2020. When you find a Chicago restaurant in a different city/state, you run to it (when you know you know). I ordered a Chicago Box, which included: fries, three wings, polish, gypo, beef, pizza puff, and hot dog (which I substituted for another puff). I sampled everything in my box, making sure not to get full off of one item. Everything was good. The mild sauce was real (when you know you know). I bought my friend girl some wings. Although I've taken her to Chicago twice, today was the first time she actually tasted mild sauce. For the record, she LOVED her food, too, even the sauce. If you're wondering if you should eat here, yes. Run there! The restaurant is inside the convenient store named Mickey's. I hope I was able to help."

"I checked this spot out with my daughter. At first, I was confused because Google kept taking me to a convenient store. So I called the business number, the owner answered and told me he is located inside of the store. I caught him as he was getting set up (I was early). He still cooked my order. I had chopped beef and polish sausage hot dog. It was delicious! It had onions, bell peppers, olives, cheese, and a whole lot of goodness. My daughter is a vegetarian. She had seasoned fries with a side of Chicago Mild sauce. I suggested he offer cheese fries for vegetarians. The only thing that I did not like was that my meal did not come with a drink. So I got a beverage from the store. I noticed that a lot of the beverages were expired. Plus, there wasn't much of a variety. I suggest Core of Chicago offer drinks to his customers. This was a great experience. He has a variety of items on his menu. I shared my meal with two other people because it was a lot of food. Food is priced appropriately. I recommend this establishment. Enjoy!!"

"There is a little known secret spot called the core of Chicago. It's on the corner of Richmond and hemphill.inside another business a corner store.there are also uhauls trucks in the parking lot. Now after digging through all that is a valuable treasure called core of Chicago. This the go to spot after leaving the club. They got mild sauce I put that on everything it hit different make you do the "perculator". The core of Chicago great food even better prices. Go get some pizza puffs, Italian beef dipped with the peppers, and the classic yard bird fried hard with the mild sauce and two pieces of white bread and fries. Man the only thing they lacking is free can pop so they get 4 out 5 stars. Other then that I'm about to smash."

"This place is the real deal. Authentic Italian Beefs, pizza puffs, and Chicago style hot dogs. Originally I thought I was in the wrong location but this place is so new, it didn't have the name on the front of the store. Don't be mistaken though, you're in the right place. I just wish they had a location closer to where I live in Frisco, but it's worth the drive when I get an authentic craving."
