I am a lover of corn beef and pastrami sandwiches so I decided to go inside and check this place out. I didn’t care for the bread. It seem kind of dry and if you pick the sandwich up the bread broke apart(really dry) The meat wasn’t as flavorful as I’ve tasted other corn beef and pastrami sandwiches, and I had thought that they had, handmade potato chips but they were regular potato chips so I checked them out and they were OK. I doubt if I’ll return now.

I recently visited the Corn Beef Factory and had mixed feelings about my experience. While the menu offers both Reuben and corned beef options, I opted for the corned beef sandwich, which unfortunately fell short of my expectations. The bread was not soft and lacked the homemade touch, giving the impression it wasn't made with love. Additionally, they weigh the meat, which made the sandwich feel a bit impersonal and less generous than I had hoped. In hindsight, I should've gone for the Reuben. Overall, it's an average spot for a corned beef fix, but there's room for improvement.

I want to like this place but it just keeps doing something wrong on every visit. First time there I had a corned beef sandwich and it was not nearly as warm as it should be, almost cold even. Next visit I had a pastrami and the same thing happened. Third time I got two hot dogs with everything and they forgot to put the relish and sport peppers on them.

Edit: While eating the hot dogs I found a small gnat smashed into one of the hot dog buns.

Edit #2: Just remembered that the lock on the door to the male single-person bathroom is broken. So good luck having privacy when you need to conduct your bathroom business.

Have been to several times and great value lunch option in West Loop. Generous amount of meat on Tom and Jerry sandwich, chips, pickle spears.Also have grilled cheese for a cheap price if not as hungry.

Very good corned beef sandwich. Piled high. Wonderful service. The management checked in with me. I might become a "regular" here because my husband loved it. Not a lot of seating.

We had the Tom & Jerry. Both sandwiches were very dry and salty. Even my pickle looked old. Will not be going

The corned beef sandwiches are good. I took a point off because of the cheese which is paired on the sandwich. Need a better cheese, perhaps a good cheddar. Also, the corned beef could use a tad bit more flavor. On Saturday they offer a two for 1 special, on the corned beef sandwiches, which is a great deal. The service is wonderful. The pastrami sandwiches are good also.

Parking: Street parking is generally accessible in front.
