One of the symbols of Chicago. They serve many types of burgers but are famous for "Italian beef" slightly wet or deeply immersed in broth or something similar to broth

Must have had a bad example. The beef sandwich was dry and had a funny taste. Both my wife and I threw it out. The Maxwell Street Polish was good but the fries were greasy and soggy. Had expected much better.

Fire! Simple and done right. Clean facility and super friendly staff. 10/10 recommend. Dipped of course, half sweet half hot pepper. Yummy fries. The Chicago Dogs looked good as well!

We tried Al’s regular beef with extra gravy and then went to the other place down the road. We preferred the taste of Al’s meat better than the other.

The Italian beef was good and prepared as requested. I was good with the regular portion which I thought was generous. I wouldn’t dip it because I think it would make it heavy on the stomach.Prices were reasonable compared to near by restaurants.Staff were helpful with providing suggestions.

The combo is pretty good, but don't sleep on the fresh cut fries. They are really good as well. The polish and hot dogs are excellent.

10/10. I got a wet beef sandwich and as soon as I finished it I walked up to the counter and ordered another one. So delicious.
