Was almost too good, made me eat so fast I almost choked and died. 10/10 would choke on their beef again. P.S. Best fries I've ever had

Stopped in around 2 AM on a Thursday, my order was quickly prepared. The Italian beef was delicious, topped with hot giardenera and soaked in au jous. The hand cut fries were salted to perfection.
I do wish the combo serving size was a little bigger as the meal, while fantastic, seems a little pricey for what is traditionally a value food.

I don't know honestly. My husband and son really liked it. I was not a fan of the au jus flavor or bread. Even though my sandwich was dipped i thought the meat was dry. Their fries are incredible!!

Popped into this place while traveling through Chicago. Parking was a challenge but well worth the walk. Staff was very friendly, prepared fast, and the beef and dogs were amazing.

Al’s is the real deal when it comes to Italian beef—juicy, messy, and packed with flavor. Get it dipped with hot giardiniera if you really wanna do it right. The bread holds up even when soaked, and the beef is seasoned to perfection. No frills here, just straight-up classic Chicago eats. If you’re visiting, this is a must-try. If you’re local, you already know what’s up.

It's definitely right in Chicago, it's a very small place, so don't think you can go and sit for long. The food was really good, but expensive. I get it though, prices are rising, it was just kind of ridiculous for an $18 sandwich.

It's an authentic Chicago Italian Beef !!! What else can I say. Definitely go here and try it . I had the Italian beef with sausage!! If your from Chicagoland then you know.... If you are visiting or going to a game at Wrigleyville. It's a must stop.
Best spot for classic chicago diner food in Wrigley imo. All times of day the food is really consistent and always hits the spot.
Shout out to Eddie and the weekend/ late night crew for holding it down. Swear this place is crazy busy from like 10pm- 3AM but the team is always solid with service, speed, and of course the food - they never miss. My go-to spot
The meat is delicious, the jus elevates everything, and the sweet peppers makes it perfect. Stopped by with a good appetite and didn't realize we would want to eat 2 or 3 of these in a row. What an addictive flavor set.

One of the best hot beef sandwiches in the world. The best I’ve ever had in my life.
I visit Chicago several times a year and this is always the first place. I stop when I get off the plane.
It is simply to die for
