My first time here, got the Chicago beef with hot peppers and a side of au jus. The beef was flavorful and spicy and the au jus was great too. I will definitely be coming back and hope to eat at the bar next time when I have time to do so so I can pair it with an Olde Style. Excellent restaurant!

A coworker made me aware of the existence of Chicago Beef Joint and now it's my happy place for lunch. The Itallian Beef with hot giard and baptized in Au Jus is the way. Chili cheese fries are ridiculously good. Looking forward to checking out their other menu/live music options.

Stopped into this place after reading a review by local critic, Jason Roth. Upon walking in, I noticed a spacious interior with a decently stocked bar, but not much "atmosphere". I was quickly greeted and invited to sit where I like. Service was prompt, and I ordered the Hot Italian Beef with cheese, dipped in au jus with a side of fries and a "Chicago Handshake" which consisted of a shot of Malort and a tall boy of Oldstyle.
Everything came out quickly...
