    MikePhipps:
    Portillos is good. I like Portillos for hot dogs and Italian Beef sort of the same as how I like Rosati's for pizza. It's good and you can find them all over, but there are others that I like better.

     

    Agreed!  Plus, great service!

    Re: Italian Beef sandwich

     those of you  leaning toward and think that  Portillos is good beef   don't know Italian Beef 

     

     

     Portillos SUCKS  

     

     

      Some  of the most excellent beef stands in the Chicago Area  

    ROMA'S on cicero just south of Montrose

     

     

     

    Johnnies  Beef  on  North avenue  Elmwood Park

     

     

     JAY's BEEF 

     Two locations

     HARWOOD HEIGHTS On Nagle just north of Montrose behind the McDonalds  

     

     

      SCHILLER PARK  On irving Park Road 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     three LOCATIONS NOW ! ! !  One  in Wicker park

    on West North Avenue approx 2200 West

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     I give all three of  the beef stands I named here  a thumbs up when it comes to authenticity  and they  have been around for years   ...

    Not some slicker  like DICK Pot-holeo slop (portillos )  that popped up out of the woodwork about  years ago     ROFL

    Re: Italian Beef sandwich

    I agree with you Nak on Roma's, Jay's and Johnnie's.  The food at Portillo's isn't bad, but it's overpriced and I can't stand the mall food-court type atmosphere. 

     

    Sammie's beef is pretty good too, but I get annoyed that I have to specify that I want the peppers under the cheese.  I do appreciate that they dip the sandwich though.

      OH Gawd  How I can forget Sammies   you're right there   MP 

     Although  I do more gyros than their beefs  as I'll buy a small roast and make  my own when I get the taste for it

    That other place you found  on 45 and Gages Lake  had some good beef too. Too bad they had to close up shop

     

    SAMMIES  BEEF

      3 Locations

     Lake Villa

    Riound Lake Beach

    Grayslake

    Sammies used to be good when he started in the city many years ago...it's just average now at best.
