I ordered the Regular Italian Beef with hot and sweet peppers, provolone cheese, and I had it dipped. The French fries were also quite delicious. If I ever find myself back in Chicago, this will definitely be one of my go-to spots!

I have to say, it was the best Italian beef sandwich I’ve ever had! The staff were incredibly friendly and served my meal quickly. It's hard to complain when your delicious meal costs under $10. I'm definitely planning to return!

The beef is particularly tasty, especially when soaked in the juice. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up eating here twice before leaving. The prices are reasonable, and the standing seating arrangement creates plenty of space for other diners.

While staff could’ve been more attentive and not on the phone while making my food and then handing me the wrong item, the sandwich made up for it and more. I got a regular sandwich in their “wet” style (where they put some extra beef juices/sauce on top of the sandwich). I also had provolone cheese, raw onions, mayo, and hot giardineira. Unbelievably tasty, absolutely jaw dropping flavors, and this is not an option when you come to Chicago. They do have multiple locations!
