Perfect chicken parm and Italian beef sandwiches. Don’t forget an Italian ice with real whole lemon pieces in it. Thanks Frannies!

This is an absolutely spectacular spot to stop. Quick service, terrific food and incredibly great prices. I wanted to get myself an italian beef while I was here in Chicago and Frannies helped me accomplish that goal in the best way possible. Thank you for the terrific experience and I will certainly be back.

real italians... Simply put, real Italians. There's no substitute.....they know EXACTLY what they're doing.... An italian beef is an easy make.... Very difficult to make it terrible..... frannies.... Is the best i've ever had...... Portillo's terrible they went public on the stock market ever since...its a sht show... Portillos food is garbage....FRATILLOS IN VOLO IS GOODC,.... BUT FRANNIES IS PERFECT...they blow-away every competitor...and their answer......is to keep it simple and PUT QUALITY BEFORE QUANTITY...

Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Whenever I’m in Chicago for work, this is a place I will always go to. Italian beef was great. The people working there are extremely nice.

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency up the street for a labor conference and people kept on saying we had to try the Chicago hotdogs. So after a quick Google search, we found this place. I gotta say I love the decor and the style of the old-school theme. These are my type of places from the moment we walked in the door. The people behind the counter were very personable and friendly, and willing to take our order quickly. They showed us the specials, told us about the food and we proceeded to order. I ordered two Chicago hotdogs with french fries and a soda and also a beef sandwich. I got to tell you they don’t serve hotdogs like this in Philadelphia. These hotdogs Were absolutely amazing and very flavorful and the beef sandwich was just added this to me. The beef was so tender and juicy in the roll soft and fresh. If you’re ever in the area, make sure you put this on your short list of places to visit. I wish them nothing but the best in the future with their business.

Great beefs, and meatballs homemade. Italian ice is wonderful! Family owned, fast and friendly. A must go. Wish we lived closer
I've been going here for years, and they recently went down hill. Don't get the chicken pita.

Flew from Reno to Chicago to see my son play lacrosse in the Milwaukee area. Had to stay in Chicago over night due to problems with our rental car. Happen to stay right next to Frannie"s Beef. So glad we stopped for a Italian beef and sausage combo sandwich. I have been craving a good italian beef sandwich since my last trip to Chicago. This place is an icon. Definitely will be stopping here again.

Ordered Italian Beef catered for around 20 people. The cost was unbelievably reasonable and it was delicious. Everyone in attendance, all but one of who have never visited Chicago, raved about the food.

I believe they are passing off pork hot dogs as beef . $9 down the drain worst tasting hot dog I've had since I stopped eating pork . I called to ask whether the dogs were beef or not , and was greeted on the phone with the proverbial "huh" ? A sign to me that someone is thinking of telling a lie LOL
