OMG, the Double Cheeseburger is so large and juicy that it melts in your mouth. Hmm... what is a meal without a tasty Maxwell Street Polish! My fav is the Regular Beef; it’s so... delicious… oops, I ate it all. Al’s Beef is the go-to for the best food & #1 Italian Beef in Chicago!!! :)

Al's Italian Beef is my "go to" for Italian beef sandwiches. It's delicious and fresh. The regular beef is a good size for one person. The Big Beef is pretty big - especially when combined with Large Hand Cut Fries. I typically order the regular beef with fries.

A great summer OMG is Al's Big Beef dipped with 2-3 cheeses which melts in your mouth. It's so much food I put half away for later. Drive in burger is fresh and delicious! Fries are old fashioned home made...the best.
