What People Are Saying About Hey Viv's

The Editor

Jennifer Olvera

Citysearch

In Short – You don't have to dress up to dig in at this fast-food favorite. During the day, construction crews stop by for crispy, hand-cut fries; come evening, families dash in for takeout. Featuring a few red vinyl stools and a vibrant, wacked-out celestial floor-to-ceiling mural, this comfy spot serves up gruff service but steak sandwiches, cheeseburgers and Italian beef. The signature garden dog brims with mustard, relish, onions, cucumbers, pickles, tomatoes and hot peppers. –

New owners CLUELESS!

by cruiser66 at Citysearch

If you were there a few years ago and liked it, do yourself a BIG favor and PASS this place up!

The place was SOLD a year or so and the new owners have pretty much ruined a good thing.

2 try's with a space of 4 months between. I was in there the first week of the new owners and OUCH what a disaster! Gave them a second try and while less confused, this is still not anywhere near the place it used to be.

Oh Well, another on bites the dust.

  • Pros: Cheap(ish)
  • Cons: (left blank)
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Flame broiled not fried

by espresso_shots at Citysearch

The people at Hey Vivs makes their hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, steak sandwiches, etc etc by flame broiling the meat. The sandwiches taste great and the store smells great on the inside. Fast food made to order. It may take some time to make, but they dont fool around, and you get a high quality product as a good price.

The Hey Vivs staff is young, hip, they love to have a good time, yet they work their butts off to please the customer. Mad props to the Hey Vivs staff!!!

There are many made to order fast food places on Ogden in Brookfield, but Vivs does the job the best.

  • Pros: Flame broiled food, Great staff, Homemade fries
  • Cons: , Need later hours

The quintessential Chicago hot dog, garden on a bun, celery salt and all that. Highly recommended.
