Johnnie's Beef

I can’t get enough of this stuff! Born and lived in Chicago for 22 years, can’t get a decent beef sandwich north of the border! Recently due to family issues I’ve been traveling back and forth from Wisconsin to Chicago a lot over the last 4 months. Honestly? Found this place by accident. I stayed overnight at a hotel near by, went looking for a place to get some dinner. Googled places to eat and Johnnys popped up. Oh the overwhelming bliss at having an authentic high quality Chicago Italian beef - on the right kind of bread!!! “Beef, dipped, no peppers. Bunch tamale, large green river”. That’s my standard order. I now keep a cooler in my van at all times. I’ve been taking the dinner package home every time I head back up north. Pound of beef, quart of gravy, and a big loaf of

This is by far one of the best Italian beef sandwiches you will ever eat. Flavorful. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. And juicy…? You will need extra napkins for this meal in a sandwich! And don’t miss out on the fries, which remind me of McDonalds’ when they were really good. And don’t let the parking lot full of cars scare you off, because their service is fast and efficient. Chicagoland is known for great Italian beef sandwiches - and this place will not disappoint you.

Outstanding instutional fast food joint. Its been around for decades serving Chicagoland great Italian beef sandwich & outstanding shoe string fries. Great Italian sausage , Hotdogs, a little bit of everything. Did I mention the Damm so good Italian ice both lemon& watermelon flavors. They are so consistent today next week next year it doesn't matter when you go.

Stayed at a nearby hotel for work and wanted to try a Chicagoland staple, Italian Beef. Ordering at a place filled with locals who know what they want and how to order can be intimidating. Luckily for me the guy at running the cash register was super friendly and helpful. He suggested Italian Beef with spicy peppers and an order of fries. Also a lemonade to wash it down. Order came out fast and hot. The place runs like a machine pumping out orders for a vast variety of people all who know what and how they want this Chicago favorite. Sandwich was everything I wanted it to be. Spicy tender and messy. Fries were thin and tasty. All this for under 14 bucks and I think I’m hooked. I gotta keep trying all these beef places and you should too.

One of best beefs spot in the area and in Chicagoland. Everything is always fresh. Beef dipped with hot peppers. Can’t go wrong.
