Well reading most of the highly recommended reviews on here and ready to enjoy a “Chicago Style Dog”. I sat down and ok no problems food can overcome atmosphere most of the time. But in this case neither was very appealing. I order my Chicago dog and it comes in a basket which at this time is still good. On the menu it states the buns either come toasted or steamed. They forgot to put microwaved on there because that is what my bun was. And no celery salt for the dog…when I asked the server if there was any celery salt on the dog she answered no. I asked I believe it comes with it and she replied ok I will go check. She came back and stated that they were out. For those of us that know….huge part to the dog is the celery salt. Now on to the bun. It was microwaved and by the time it came to eat the dog the bun was stuck to the wax paper covering the basket it was served in…..and not to mention hard because it had cooled down. Not part of the Chicago style dog experience but they serve all dogs with potato chips……UMM sick …. yuk…. they were colder than room temperature and about as old and stale as 3 day old donuts left on the counter unwrapped. For $6.59 for lunch it truly was an experience that I will never go to again. AJs HERE WE COME. And I promise I am not an employee of Ajs……Just a very disapointed Chicago Hot dog fan!

WOW, what a GREAT place. Had the Philly steak sandwich (after much internal debate). It was awesome (and redefined HUGE – my SO split it with me and we could easily have been full before it was gone). At least 7 stars out of 5!!!!

After reading great reviews, we went to DT Kirby’s for dinner. We were not disappointed. We got the fried veggie basket for an appetizer. Hands down, this was the best fried veggies we have ever had! This is an absolute must if you go there! Also, the Philly Cheesesteak is amazing. It is enough to feed 2, but amazing!

there is no reason to go anywhere else for sandwiches in lafayette.

it’s like being in the culinary center of the universe without leaving downtown lafayette, IN.

i am a little biased toward chicago food, if you eat at dt kirby’s you’ll see why
DT Kirby’s happily teaches the only thing good about chicago to the uninitiated, one humongous, sloppy, gigantic, reasonably priced sandwich at a time.

so worth it to eat there even if you hate sports & think chicago is a corrupt sewer of crooked politicians, screamingly high taxes on freakin’ everything, too much traffic, crowds, crime & noise. eat at dt kirbys & you can skip the 2 1/2 hr drive, 3+ tolls & all that gas money & stress & road rage!!!

Hands down the best bar and grill in Lafayette…There is nothing below outstanding on their menu. In addition to the great burgers and dogs, they have the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. Having lived in Chicago for years, this place is more Chicago than many Chicago bars….try it…NOW!!!
