Italian beef is a popular sandwich in Chicago, Illinois, known for its delicious and unique flavors. It consists of thinly sliced roast beef that has been slow-cooked to perfection, often in seasoned au jus (beef gravy), and then placed on a crusty Italian-style roll. It’s typically served with optional toppings like sweet or hot peppers, giardiniera (a spicy pickled vegetable mix), and sometimes melted cheese.

Just went to Johnnie's last weekend. They make a great beef!
Wow 😯 looks fabulous 🤤🤤🤤
Is the series 'The Bear' based on Mr. Beef? The place looks kinda similar.
We now have Portillo’s in Texas
Not usually chuck. It’s a leaner cut like top sirloin or top round.
Leonard ❤️
Those are some GREAT first bites!
This is the new idea food and beverage businesses are getting vloggers to advertise for them.
Another scam).
Mr beefs great duck in as well as is portillos
Never been to Al's in little Italy because all the other ones I went to were trash
Portillo is not what it use to be. I find the Pizza Nova in Canaryville serves a great juicy Italian Beef
I'm sorry but everyone reviews the same places in Chicago. I think some of the best places for a beef sandwich are on the north side of Chicago. Portillos is hot or miss depending on location and who makes your sandwich. Johnis beefs are getting smaller and smaller and less beef. Just my opinion.
Italian beef OMG.
Luke's Italian Beef.
215 W Jackson.
Excellent beef and a bag of fries as big as your head.😋😋😋
Al's is over rated. I'll never eat there again
All the good foods are in ghettos ..go to the hood
Donalds on 23rd and Western
#1 Beef hands down!!
Full stop!!!
I recently tried Scatchell's Beef & Pizza at 4700 s cemerk. Soooooo good!
Mr. Beef sucks. Way overrated. Jays is much better. Can't go wrong with Al's and Johnny's either
Al's on Taylor tastes very different and a lot better than the other locations. Go to that one. Portillos kinda overrated and pricey. However, their chocolate cake is fire. Try
Michael's Beef House on North Avenue in Oak Park. Excellent classic beef.
Was going to say I have to try that AL’s until you said shredded beef and saw the sandwich. I like my Italian beef to have the beef sliced.
Hot dogs….FAT JOHNNIE'S on Western.
