Love this place! Beef is better than portillos although I slightly prefer portillos hot and sweet peppers and their roll. If you get dipped here it becomes a knife and fork meal. Fries are good too.
Al's fulfills the stereotype that Chicago has the best food in the United States! Go with an Original Beef, dipped, with peppers. Grab yourself some napkins and enjoy! Isn't Chicago tasty?!
It's all in the title. Al's #1 Italian Beef serves mouth-watering meat roasts with a collection of spices to choose from. We recommend their classic dipped Italian beef sandwich! Read more
Try the Dipped Italian Beef Sandwich - Wow! The dippedItalian beef & peppers @alsitalianbeef is awesome! AND they're playing A-ha's "take on Me!" (via @Foodspotting)
The italian beef is amazing! If you come to Chicago you have to try it also check out all the pictures with all the celebs that were here very awesome.plus super friendly staff
Good beef, but portilos is only a few blocks away, do yourself a favor and get a beef sandwich there instead. Again, good beef, but when Portillos is so close, it's hard to justify going to al's
Had two ounces of food at GT’s for $65 then still hungry came here and was fully satisfied for hardly any money. And it was so tasty. Moral: GT’s is run by crooks and tastes bad. Come here.
