Susie's is an old-style, fast-food restaurant with neon signs, colorful tables and a menu packed with favorites like Philly steak sandwiches, roast beef, burgers, fries and beef sandwiches. Susie Ninos, the restaurant's namesake, says taste-treats like the Philly steak (hot roasted beef with grilled onions and mushrooms) keep customers coming back. Another favorite is Susie's hot dog, often called ``salad on a bun,'' because it's served with tomatoes, relish, onions, mustard and hot peppers--but not ketchup. ``People are used to putting ketchup on hot dogs, but they're not supposed to be served like that,'' she said. ``A lot of older people don't like ketchup on their hot dogs.'' Other favorites are foot-long Polish sausage, burritos, tacos and perch sandwiches. One drive-through window, a small number of seats inside, and several tables outside.
