    Lunch & late night are peak times, don't be afraid to elbow your way in or you may be overlooked..but it's a great way to meet the locals who exclusively patronize this place! Park down the street and walk...parking directly in front is almost impossible. Try a little bit of everything, but walk by all of the stands first so you can see all the offerings; you pay for what you'd like at each one & wait while they make it. Feelin' brave? Try the Lamb's Brain Sub Sandwich. :)
