First time visit, we talked about going for a long time, just never made it. Looking at some of the yelp reviews the burger pictures looked really good, so that's what i decided on. I don't eat fries often but I love fresh cut fries, so I also got a large fry. My wife got the shack salad, which kinda sounded like a portillos chopped salad. It's really nice inside, very cute and bigger than I expected, they also have a drive through that i didn't know about. We did take out and while waiting for our food I watched the care that the employees took in packing and double checking the order accuracy, it wasn't all rush rush. I really appreciated that. The burger was really good, like really good, and had to be towards the top of fast food burgers, more like a burger restaurant burger than fast food. Well charred burger, great flavor, good toppings, and big! They have a great bun that really held up well. The fresh cut fries were good, not great, they definitely could have cooked longer and the large is a ridiculous size, more than enough to share. My wife liked her salad, could have used a bit more toppings, it had a lot of lettuce but she still enjoyed it. They have a lot of special days, for which we will be back for, the hot dogs look great and I can't wait to try them. All and all very good, bummed it took us so long to try it, I will definitely be back for the burgers read more

First timer. Disappointed. I wish they stated the size of their Beef sandwich. Mini is Mini. Snack size 4" , 5 at best for $7. Portillos is bigger and better. Fresh cut fries- delicious. Shakes are good. Beef Shack Beef sandwich is same size as Portillos regular/small. Beef Shack's mini isn't half of the fullsize beef sandwich. Basically, you're comparing a Suburban to an Explore, for the same price. read more

Tried this location today. Terrible. Dried old beef & the chocolate shake was not. Tasted wretched. That's right they even messed up on the shake. How? read more

Visited on a Friday night because I haven't been here in a while and we wanted to get something close. I've gone multiple times before to this location because it's super close to me, but I'm not a huge fan of their food so I don't go often. If I go here, I'll usually get their grilled cheese (I love that they use hamburger buns). I've also had their chicken sandwich and I remember it being good, but not amazing. This time, I tried their beef sandwich. I got the mini cheesy beef and it was good. Their fries are also good and comparable to Five Guys. The full size is huge and could probably be shared between three people. The employees are always friendly. I've never experienced bad service, but service might be slower during peak meal times. read more

Staff must enjoy working here because they are so pleasant! While I usually prefer unique spots to chains, this franchise is an excellent exception. Portillo's is a tourist trap ever since B-H bought it but BS feels more neighborly. There's special offers Tuesday=hot dog, Thursday=hamburger and Sunday=beef bundle. The cheesy garlic bread is so worth the artery clog (hey, everything in moderation). Limited healthy choices here (see menu). Got a vegan in tow? Head 7 miles east to Buona. read more

Beef Shack - Drive thru menu - Fast Food Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

Arriving at 12:15 on a weekday the line was out the front door. It moved decently fast. Two of us ordered mini beef sandwiches with fries and a drink. It took about ten minutes for our number to get called. Food arrived and it was good enough. Small sandwiches, but the small fries were bigger than expected. Beef is a bit bland but good. Parking here is tough; it's a tiny strip mall of lunch places. read more

Service was slow and dragging I came in at 3:30pm for a DoorDash, the lady rolled her eyes at me a Spanish girl, and took care of everyone except my order. It was only a hotdog and a cheesy beef I saw them make 6 drive thru orders in front of me read more

Beef Shack - Them Spanish girls took care of everybody order but mines, and the heavy one at the counter signed at me. Wow and thanks - Fast Food Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

Good food, good prices. Sunday special 2 beef sandwiches,2 fries ,and 2 drinks for $19.99.

$19.00 and change for a cheezey beef, hot dog and mini fries after $3.00 off and you can't give napkins for a take out order? Really? Pathetic! read more

Today I revisited this place & although their beef is good, I felt ripped off! Their 8" beef is considered "full" size for $10! Never coming back again read more

Beef Shack - This is their full size for $10! (Can for scale) - Fast Food Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

$11.42 for this are you kidding me, I didn't even get any fries and this sandwich is about the size of a kids meal. What's a rip off never again ! read more

Beef Shack - $11.42 for this!??? Your crazy I'll never go here again! They straight up robbed me ! - Fast Food Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

Okay - some things improve with age and this business is one of those things. On my return visit, the first in a few years, I had a cheesy beef, dipped, and it was great. The fries were good too. I appreciated the meat being cooked properly, and seasoned well. It's not my favorite seasoning mix bit it's still good, and plentiful (unlike another beef giant which has been doling out bland beef sandwiches as of late). Great crew working the place too. I'm likely to return soon. read more

If u like a nice juicy beef with some peppers and fries its good for the burbs. Its good.

This place is comparable to Portillo's in my opinion as far as the beef, dogs and cheese fries. Their large fries is LARGE. Service is great!! Love the $1 hot dog's Tuesdays, hope it never ends. read more

Beef Shack - $1 hot dog on Tuesdays - Fast Food Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

Our go to place for beef and burgers. Our family loves it! Hate to say it but it's better than portillos!

I've taken advantage of their Dollar Dogs, and several times my hotdog hasn't been hot and the bun has been cold. I think I'll be skipping them from now on. It's a great deal and I even mentioned when ordering that's I'd like my hotdog hot.. I'm sure they are making volumes.. but still got a slightly warm dog. read more

Too pricey. Beef is good as well as the fries but it's a small sandwich. Beef fries and a drink almost $20. read more

Food is generally good and prices about the same as other shops. The biggest issue is that the Drive Thru almost never gets the order correct. Items forgotten or food not prepared as ordered. Very frustrating when so many other options available. read more

I was craving the cheesy beef that I had back in the days when Zippy's was around on Roselle Rd (near Valli Produce). After some research, I came upon Beef Shack and made my way there to try their Cheesy Beef. It did not disappoint. mMmMmmm. Cheesy Beef: It reminds me exactly like the Zippy's Cheesy Beef, melts in my mouth. Adding hot peppers would make the sandwich perfect. :) Fries: The fries were freshly cooked as well and tasted soo good. It was the perfect crunch on the outside, soft + warm in the inside and seasoned just right. It's a little bit of a drive for me to get here but I would be back if I'm craving it again or if I'm in the area. read more

They have great salads, but they should give you a roll or a couple pieces of sliced Italian bread like Portillos does. Good Food? Always do drive through TD read more

Love it. IMO the gravy is better than Portillo's. Portillo's has a weird smell now. Cheese fries are great too!

Good and fast service! Beef sandwich was great and the large are LARGE! Nice clean spot with paper tower on every table! And the bathroom was actually clean! Definitely a great spot to grab some lunch! read more

My wife and I stopped in there Thursday night for dinner. We got the regular size garlic cheesy beef and cheese fries. The beef was good but seemed like a little short on the amount of beef. Fries were nice and crisp unlike most of the time there soggy. We go in at least a couple times a month and I still am waiting to see when they are going to clean the greasy light bulbs in the light fixtures. read more

I had the mini cheesy beef and fries. The beef is cooked just right and is flavorful. The bread was a little toasted and really made the sandwich better. (So many times beef sandwiches just fall apart.) The fries are fresh cut and nice and crispy. The beefs come in 4 inch and 8 inch sizes. The 4 inch plus fries and a drink were plenty to satisfy me. The tab came to around $11. Service was great and there's plenty of seating. read more

Drive slow is absolute worst when it comes to speed and efficiency and food way overpriced for size and value. Service is slow

Food: 4 stars! Service: 1 star since they screw up every single order. Like. Literally. Every single order. How is that even possible? Well, I can tell you. Mostly it is the employees standing around on their phones. Signed, Old Man Yells at Clouds read more

Not enough beef for the price . Lots of bread no beef . The place was great but the floors were a little slippery , the other table next to us were shuffling their feet not to slip . The service was great tho nice workers . read more

Disappointing beef sandwich. Tastes institutional. Peppers were overpriced for 2 slices that did nothing to enhance the flavor on a full sandwich. Hot dogs was soggy. Would Not come again. read more

It was my first visit at Beef Shack since I was in the area. Food was good no complaints. Perhaps the drink container was small for the size requested other than no problems went thru the drive thru and had a good overall experience. read more

Great food. Clean. Order the small French fries as the large is enough for 4. We will return!! read more

Went through drive-thru @ 7:30 on Thursday night. After ordering, waited at least 10 minutes....yes I want it fresh, but that seemed extreme since there was no one ahead of me and no one inside ordering. Ordered a mini cheesy beef and fries with cheese sauce....$12! I know the prices on everything are up but I had no idea a MINI was LITERALLY HALF a full sandwich....I would've got the full sandwich for $3 more! Rip-off. Pics attached and I have small hands to boot! read more

Excellent food! Great fries and beef sandwiches!! Took our nephew there when he was driving through town and he said he's definitely stopping here on his way back! read more

This was my third trip here. Twice for beef and once for hot dogs. This time I was really surprised by the poorly constructed beef sandwich and made me feel as though I was ripped off. They only cut about 2/3 of the bread open and left a large chunk of the ends untouched. This leaves a far smaller section of the roll to fill with beef and peppers. They barely put any beef in there even with that. It seemed like they wanted to leave space for the giardiniera, which is wrong. The beef is good and juicy and the peppers are tasty too, but I dont like the type of bread they use. It is too soft and mushy and does not absorb the gravy very well. I like a less dense, crusty, French bread with that chewy bite to it. The fries are good at first, but soon after the first few bites they became an ultra greasy mess where you see and taste the oil in every bite, and that is not good. The oil tastes strange. They are seasoned well and have a rustic potato quality to them. And they give you a big order. That helped fill me up as the sandwich left me unsatisfied. I would rather have a beefier sandwich and less fries. The diet coke (at least I think it was diet coke) tasted a little off too. Kind of like the settings are off a bit in the fountain. The service was fast, and they wrap the sandwich well for the road. I just wish the sandwich was not so disappointing due to its construction and quality control, which takes away from its overall value. Other places in the area give you a big sandwich, with lots of beef, but flavor is not that good. This place is the opposite. read more

Awesome Beef! Fresh cut French fries and the shack sauce is delicious so we stock up on it. It's our go-to local beef place and gives Portillo's a run for the money! Sign up for rewards and get discounts to use every time. read more

Tried this restaurant for first time thru Grub Hub. My bf loved his cheesy beef dipped on garlic bread. Me? Not so much. I don't trust Italian sausage because I am always disappointed. I tried the half size EXTRA WELL DONE. Wasn't well done at all, tasted like jalapeños were it (can't wait til this fad dies) and casing was mushy. Threw away. Regular size beef was tasteless, not even salty. Like Arby's dipped. Not for me. read more

Checking out Chicago Style Hot Dogs & Fresh Cut French Fries! Always looking for restaurants with both the above items to try & find the best in the suburbs, as these are my husband's favorite lunch. Beef Shack had Absolutely delicious & they were fresh cut fries, not frozen! Hot Dogs were made correctly by our standards. The service was great. The small restaurant was cute with several tables to enjoy our meal. We grew up on Parkys Hot Dogs, we always enjoyed. read more

I guess the sandwich was good but I never felt smaller. I am a customer and i belong to their "club" for 3 years now. I went in for my birthday, ordered a sandwich which as it so happens I got the wrong one. I asked for garlic bread and got a cheesy beef. I also asked about my birthday treat. No biggie, it's just a cup of frozen ice cream they pass off as a shake. The person in charge went through the computer and said I had points from recent visits but no birthday treat available. I told her I got one last year and believe it or not I have a birthday every year! after pulling teeth, she allowed my shake. They must be under new management and are pinching pennies. I really don't believe I am going to buy from them anymore. read more

Over $4 for a hot dog that isn't even HOT! Yes, I did have it there just made. Portillo's is cheaper and better. And yeah, their beef is better too. You charge over $4 bucks for a dog that does not come with fries, that's retarded. I'll never go back there again, not a dime of my money will you see. Nothing could ever make a dog (probably 12 to the pound) worth four bucks. A jumbo dog might be worth $4 but not your skimpy sad cold dogs. read more

Best food in the area. Everything I've tried is so fresh, filling and delicious. Customer Service is great. Highly recommend

The only way to have one is for it to be very wet ..fully dipped! Everything meshes together beautifully. Dry not so much.
