Rob R. • April 7, 2011Now that I have been in Chicago for a couple years, I can honestly say - best sandwiches in the area. Maybe beat in Chicago.
Serious Eats • May 21, 2013No other Italian beef in town tastes quite like the original Al's #1 Italian Beef. The meat roasts with a collection of spices, accentuating each bite while never overwhelming the beefy flavor.
Stuart • April 19, 2013Must get a cookie! I know must people will gravitate towards oatmeal chocolate chip. But my favorite is the chocolate brownie cookie! Also consider the ice cream sandwich! Made with cookies!
Edmund M. • September 4, 2013Maybe a bit too fast, I had three sammiches to order but only was allowed to order one before the girl rang me out. Not cool. That's a big turn off to eating out.
Serious Eats • September 16, 2013The original Maxwell Street stand may have moved a few times, but it's still a classic.
Ikedichi O. • September 20, 2012Be loud and repeat yourself when giving an order. Most of the workers here are deaf as fuck, even during downtimes.
Jaye J. • November 6, 2014Are you looking to pay $8 for a sandwich or salad and wait waaaaay too long for it from crabby ladies? This is your place!
Steven F. • March 25, 2010Biscuits the size of your head, Homemade pancakes specials, soul food style breakfast... well worth the wait.
Suzy M. • March 4, 2013Love the exposed brick. And the Chai Latte is great! The people are super sweet and there are always places to sit.
Heather B. • September 20, 2015Cheese fries & fish sandwich. On point. 👌🏼 I'm drooling just thinking about it!
Jaye J. • September 29, 2013Pancakes come with yummy side of creme anglaise & strawberry sauce. Killer hash browns are cheesy & delicious.
Ryan U. • September 4, 2013Here's the thing... Order the brisket, corn pudding, fried green tomatoes, potatoes, Reece's desert, and then thank me later!! Amazing service too!!
Redeye Chicago • March 18, 2015The honey grilled pork banh mi is one of the very best in Chicago. The baguette used is crusty and wafts a fresh yeasty perfume with every bite.
Serious Eats • May 14, 2013The thick-sliced beef on the Italian Beef is absolutely delicious and the unique giardiniera is hot but has some kind of pickling action going on that will blow you away.
Karen S. • December 12, 2012This is one of the best bars out there. The drinks are always good. The food is amazing. The bar atmosphere is relaxed and the music they play is perfect background music. Five stars for this bar.
