What a great dog/beef joint this is in Batavia. They are located in the center of the city, on the river in a strip mall by the Batavia Creamery/Pizza Hut, and just down the street from the police station and MacDonald's.

The old owner sold the place to Al and Jim and the only thing that has changed is that it is cleaner! We ride our bikes on the trail every Sunday and have lunch here. Our kids love it almost as much as we do!!

Excellent food and an incredible value!!!

I almost always get the beef value meal (fries are awesome), Katie gets the tuna melt, a kids grilled cheese (outstanding) and chicken nuggets.

Worth the drive even if you don't live in Batavia.

Total for the 5 of us - $22.53, cant beat it.

PS. My most recent receipt has a new name of "Bulldogs" on it.......and the first one I got said Lukes of Lake Bld (Jim and Al own some other joints in Chicago)
