Double-decker Burgers with Special Sauce at Midway Oh Boy

In addition to their famous double-decker burgers, Midway Oh Boy features a full menu typical of any family restaurant. Despite that variety, it's obvious the Oh Boy and its special sauce are the stars of this establishment.

Any sandwich can be ordered as a "special plate" which includes french fries and a salad. The salad is merely some shredded iceberg served with a pickle and a dollop of special sauce. The mayo-based special sauce is similar to Frisch's Big Boy but not quite as tangy.

The beef in the Oh Boy sandwich is top rank, easily topping a typical fast food restaurant in quality. The french fries on the other hand are more nondescript. Midway Oh Boy offers a whole host of side items as alternatives to their french fries.
