Off Road Diner and Dogs, formerly Chicago's Own 305 Oak Ridge Turnpike, Oak Ridge, TN 37830

"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"
