Off Road Diner and Dogs, formerly Chicago's Own

"Came here looking for Italian Beef, and Off Road certainly delivered. Their rendition, while not Johnnie's or Al's, is everything you can ask for in Tennessee. Very flavorful and excellent gravy and giardiniera. What really earns the 5 stars is the service, it was fast and very friendly. Owner answered all my questions on the menu and his approach to barbecue - even gave me brisket to sample, will definitely be trying that next time. Truly a marriage of the classic Chicago hole in the wall and Tennessee barbecue."

"Great friendly service! Great food! I would give a few more stars if I could! Sampled the brisket and it's one of the best I've had! Got a spicy beef and a Chicago dog, both were amazing! Definitely going back"

"Hi, I'm a local, and a fan of the NY Dog at Off Road Diner and Dogs. This place is more than just a diner; it's a testament to the power of good food and great hospitality. Whether you're craving the smoky richness of barbecue brisket, the tangy zest of a Chicago dog, or the hearty comfort of an Italian beef sandwich, you'll be welcomed you with open arms. This Oak Ridge gem is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Chicago paired with the best of Southern barbecue."

"Wow what a find, hidden away on a inconspicuous unit off the main road is this little gem! Run by the owner and his wife, this amazing off the beat restaurant serves up the most perfectly moist brisket, Chicago hot dogs served Chicago style and other amazing foods with the prices being very reasonable. All briskets are freshly prepared that day you are always guaranteed an amazing food experience. Highly recommended dropping in if you are a brisket connoisseur. You will not be disappointed!"

"We hppened to pass this little gem on a drive through town and decided to pop in. I AM SO GLAD THAT WE DID! The meals were amazing! My favorite was the juicy and hot Brisket! Customer service was like none other. The owners, while preparing our meals, chatted with us like we were family! Not to mention, the price could not be beat! It's like they were GIVING the food away! We will definitely make a point to come back regularly!"
