This place serves an awesome Italian beef that comes with a mountain of fries!
The staff is super friendly and the restaurant is very clean.
The Italian beef is excellent. The pizza is also good. Fred was cool as could be and the whole staff were great.
Everytime I'm in the city.....I have to go to Roma's! The B.E.S.T. beef in the city!!! I love Roma's Italian Beef & Sausage‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️. This time I also got the breaded steak sandwich and their new Italian beef empandadas. All delicious‼️. I forgot to order sweet peppers on my beef, so I added some from the steak sandwich. Fabulous!! Their beef is perfectly sliced & the juice is so flavorful & a bit spicy. ALL made in house!! I especially love the flavor of the juice....so many spices & not piles of salt. DELICIOUS 😋😋😋😋😋.
I got some to take home, too! So I will be enjoying this delicious beef today 😉.
This is a great spot & the owner Fred is a great guy. Sadly, he has a bad situation going with his MS & uses a wheelchair a times. Nevertheless....he and his wife Anna, are there every day! Please support this small business and this family! The food is amazing & they are great people ❤️
Incredible mom and pop beef shop. It was cash only at the time I went.
This is the best beef sandwich in town to me, it's just very far down the blue line to get to it. Ask for extra meat if you can on your sandwich. Fantastic value.
The owner great personality. The Italian beef was really good. I'd put this up against Portillos anytime. First time there will definitely visit again if in the area. Possibly make a trip there when the craving hits.
Loved the spicy Italian sausage and big piece, but almost seemed a little caramelized sweetness which was odd. Overall still good. Maybe they sit with the sweet peppers.
The Italian beef sandwich was great. I thought it was a bit expensive for the size, though. I would skip the Italian ice next time because it was too chunky for my liking. Definitely a great neighborhood joint for Italian beef.
Ordered Italian beef catering. The service was very good to order and the beef was so tender and juicy. Bread was fresh and they provided us with peppers. Would definitely cater here again!
Was near Roma's and haven't stopped by in a long time, wanted a good Italian beef, say no more. Definitely a great Chicago Neighborhood Vibe...One of Owner's was taking orders...Asked what I was in the mood for, "I said, a million bucks!" He said " Me too!"
We laughed & dreamed...ordered the 6" Italian Beef with Sweet Peppers. Never mentioned whether I wanted dry or baptized, but gave me a perfect sandwich. I could handle the bun without worrying it would fall apart, not that I don't mind, but would need additional napkins. Certainly hit the spot, looking forward to trying their pizza next time...Looked delicious. "El Stool Presidente" would give it an 8.1, I'm sure! Cheers & Mangia!
I was between 3 and 4 on the food, but settled on 4 because at the end of the day, it was comfort food, and it did the job. While I couldn't down the fries, the polish was on point, and the fries didn't go to waste as they were devoured by my dining companion. I'm not an Italian beef fan, but the spicy dip was really good, and the Italian beef empanada had a really good party. The tamale is going to be more classic American tamal, which I also like, but if you're looking for more authentic Mexican tamales, I'd pass on these. Kind friendly staff, and comfortable hole in the wall feel. Avoid if you're looking for fine dining, but if you can appreciate hole‐in‐the‐wall Chicago cuisine, you should be able to appreciate this place.
Our Italian beef sandwiches were everything we expected, and then some with in-house hot Gardiner and home cut fries took them to the next level for someone like us who can't get them where we live!
I love Italian Beefs. I have tried a LOT of places. I drive for around Chicagoland for work so am able to try a lot of different places. I got the Beef dipped with mozzarella, side of giardinara, side of marinara and fries. The beef is one of the best I ever had, the fries are fresh cut but, unlike most places, they are not soggy. They are thin and crispy. Probably one of the best fries I've had again. The marinara sauce is also amazing! I did not care for the giardinara because it has olives, but if you like olives then you will like it. I agree with the other review I read, the sandwich could use more beef. The owner is really nice. I'll probably try the meatball sandwich next time since the marinara is soooo good. Is it the best beef in Chicago? That's for you to decide. I'll be a repeat customer for sure!
