Ah, a Midwestern staple, they are indeed very good...for a chain you can't
go wrong with most any of their offerings...

IIRC they were one of the first chains, going back many decades...almost as
venerable as White Castle I think.

A decade or so ago when I used to drive with friends between Chicago and St.
Louis (one of the most soul - numbingly BORING rides one can endure) we used
to stop at the S+S's along the way, it made the journey fairly enjoyable...

I would LOVE to have an outlet in my Chicago nabe, the norm here is
Thai/Asian, Mexican...we need a good BURGER place...!!!
