    You're gonna love their Italian combo; dipped with provolone and peppers. Also, very good fries at this addictive grease pit.

    Still the best Italian Beef sandwich in Chicago. Recommend the combo, dipped with provolone cheese, and sweet peppers.

    Good italian beef sandwhich. However, i found it to be a bit pricey. I feel like im paying for the title "voted best italian beef" than the actual sandwhich. A 6in+pop n fries cost u about $10+tax.

    I'm not a really big fan of Italian beef so I can't really comment on that, but the people I was with love Italian beef and were really disappointed with their sandwiches. My burger was pretty good.

    The drinks are outrageously overpriced. So just get a Big Al and a water and enjoy.
