Al's has the best tasting beef sandwiches and fries and is truly a Chicago gem. We order from them often and would reccomend them for anyone looking for a beef sandwich. Plus we like that they have different size sandwiches too.

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.

The Tamale Boat is the best. Their Italian Beef is so tasty and tender that I recommend it to everyone. There is always enough cheese on the cheese fries.
