Italian beef is a Chicago classic sandwich, and it’s hard to go wrong with any of the city’s many Italian beef joints. But if you’re looking for the best of the best, here are a few of our favorites:
Al’s Beef is a no-frills spot that has been serving up some of the best Italian beef in Chicago for over 70 years. Their beef is slow-roasted and thinly sliced, and it’s served on a French roll with hot giardiniera and sweet peppers.
Mr. Beef is another classic Chicago Italian beef joint. Their beef is also slow-roasted and thinly sliced, and it’s served on a French roll with hot giardiniera and sweet peppers or your choice of toppings.
Buona Beef is a newer addition to the Chicago Italian beef scene, but it has quickly become a favorite among locals. Their beef is roasted in-house and shaved to order, and it’s served on a French roll with your choice of toppings.
