I love hotdogs and roast beef sandwiches, and whenever I'm craving them I always go here. Great customer service, but the sandwiches are so good. For their hotdogs, they have different ways of building them, but my favorite is chili, cheese, and onions. Love the roast beef with all the fixings, grilled onions, and bell peppers. My only complaint is I feel they use just a little too much oregano in their gravy for the wet roast beef sandwich, but the rest is so good. I also had their connolis (they get a BIG YUM).

Never been to Chicago nor had an actual Chicago dog before so I'm not sure how legit this Famous Chicago Dog from Stefono's is but it was pretty dang delicious! The owner was friendly and helpful, and the service was fast. Prices were great too! I'm looking forward to coming back to try their Italian ice one day.

Been coming here for a while now. And today I saw people in the kitchen preparing food with no gloves. Someone else's bare hands is touching my sandwich. They are also using their bare hands to put frozen French fries in the fryer. No hand washing in between. Not coming back..... According to the owner. Cash handling then touching buns and their hands touching their hands pants then touching French fries is more sanitary.

Had the Italian Beef with Hot Peppers and it was amazing. Place is easy to find once you know where it is. I would be coming back to try other menu items when I'm back in town.

Best Chicago Italian beef sandwich I I have ever had. Great customer service. This is a must try place. Walk up to order, to go or outside dining only.

Could be the best Chicago beef sandwiches I ever tasted and I grew up in Elmwood Park near Johnnie's Beef

Really good Chicago dogs and much more. Very affordable, in fact, cheap but great quality. There is pride in their offerings and it shows. You can buy a loaded Chicago dog for less then a mediocre hamburger from chain restaurants. Fresh and tasty. I wish they were open weekends and early evenings.

Difficult to explain how delicious the food is here. Got 2 slices of pizza which were basically 2 halves of a medium pizza, they were large. Tritip beef dip was premium. Chicago dog awesome, the relish was really good. Basically 2 days worth of left overs. I am content af. Doordash doesn't give the smoothies as as an option to purchase.

I've been craving a chili cheese dog which is why I ordered here! Chili cheese dog- good flavor on the sausage and plenty of chili and cheese! Good size and flavor and price. I'm curious to try their other dogs but this one didn't disappoint. I wouldn't say it was amazing but a good chili cheese dog. One topping pizza- for the price you can't beat that deal. 12" one topping and a can soda is a great deal. The cheese wasn't fully melted when I got my order so that was a different texture. Solid crust, good sauce and great value. Overall this place was quick, very good value and the food is solid. 4 because the food, to me, wasn't anything amazing just good solid food

Great food, reminds me of the authentic east coast, homemade type of sausage sandwiches. Delicious!!
Been wanting to try this spot for a while like 2 years now just haven't had time bc they only open from 11-3 weekdays. I'm a busy man but I finally had time to try this place and it's a 10/10. I would highly recommend, customer service 10/10 food 10/10 you can't go wrong. You can tell the owner takes pride in his business since if it's a wait he apologizes and tries to make a convo to get past the wait since people had ordered ahead of me. I don't think many people know about this place but if you're ever in the area I suggest you give it a try. The Italian beef was 8/10 for me wish I got extra peppers on it and more wet but that's my fault for not ordering it that way. S*** was hella dry glad I had my ultra to help push it down (ultra only bc of the calories #teammodelo /.) the pizza was good even tho the crust was bland but I don't even like the crust but my fatass be eating everything I still give it a 10/10.

I tried this place for the first time about three weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised at the taste and quality of the food. When I arrived I could not make up my mind on what to grt since it all looked good. I ended up asking for a recommendation and they suggested I try the meatball sandwich. It was delicious! Since then, I have been back a few times and every time i am satisfied with the food. My go to is definitely the meatball sandwich but their other food is also great. Will be going back and will for sure try the rest of the food there. Give a try. You will not be disappointed.

This place is a hidden gem, out of sight and out of the way for most people. I've had the meatball sub, many of the hot dogs and the pizza as well, and all of it was superb in flavor and quality, this kind of cuisine is uncommon on the central coast and I'm glad that this place is around.

The owner is the sweetest guy I've ever met. We stopped by many times never making it before they close. And today we were to late but he offered to make us whatever we wanted still and did it so nicely. It's just rare to find now days. The food was amazing but the customer service is what is going to keep me going as much as I possibly can!
