Indeed there is (I couldn't find a dedicated thread, hence the link to Google/LTH search results). I've been once, a long time ago, and remember that it wasn't bad.

The faded painting in the pic says "Vienna Sausage", so I'm guessing this is an old dog/burger place or greasy spoon of some sort.

Aye - the one in Lombard has "antiqued" ghost ads as well, but this might be the drive-thru side of the 100 W. Ontario location.

Gallery of Regrettable Foods author James Lileks has my favorite ghost signs site:

also correct. as I waited in line in the drive thru, I snatched my camera and took a pic, thought it would make a good GTR.
