The Italian Beef sandwich was even better than I could have imagined. Al's has been on my food bucket list since seeing it featured on Man V Food.
I had the Regular Italian Beef, with hot and sweet peppers, provolone cheese and DIPPED. The French fries were very tasty as well.
This will definitely be on my list of go to places if I ever return to Chicago!
1st visit to Chicago and this place was on the list of great affordable places to eat. This is the best italian beef sandwich I have ever had. They were so friendly and super quick. You can't complain when the meal is under 10 and delicious. I will definitely be coming back.
Absolutely unreal sandwich experience. One of the most incredible sandwiches I have ever eaten. 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!
Delicious Chicago food. From the Chicago style hot dog to Italian Beef, it is all available. Recommend trying it at least once! The beef is delicious, especially with the juice. We liked it so much we had to eat there twice before we left. Not too pricy, and the standing "seating" allows for plenty of room for others.
The best sandwich in the world!! Got my bag searched at the airport trying to get one home... totally worth it. If I lived in Chicago they would be my death. The service was excellent, too. Knew I was from out of town and hadnt had in years so the guy did everything he could to make everything great and one sandwich ready to go in my carry on. Do yourself a favor... get a dipped Italian Beef wit hot peppers at Al's.
Can't believe I have visited Chicago this many times and this was the first time I have been. If you have not had an Italian beef, find this place and be amazed! So delicious!
We walked up and down the street looking for a place to eat that we have never been to and we found Al's. This Italian beef sandwich was amazing, the french fries are awesome, my wife and youngest daughter both got regular cheeseburgers and my oldest daughter and her boyfriend got the buffalo chicken sandwich.EVERYBODY was blown away how good everything was.
Super friendly service. Italian beef and Chicago dog did not disappoint. Sit at the window seats and watch the people go by while you enjoy a bit if a Chicago classic
Was recommended to us by the hotel bellman as the place to get the best Italian beef in town. I've never had one before, but this was excellent.
Came for Al's. Closed. New shop. My first Chicago Beef. Good
