We've been meaning to try this place since it opened and it was pretty good! We ordered for pick up and I had the regular beef sandwich dipped with hot peppers and I would most definitely get it again. It's was great! My husband had the cheesy beef (not dipped) which he enjoyed but found a little too cheesy. I think the key is to get it dipped! it will make all the difference! read more

Same great cheesy garlic beef sandwich and great fries. Fast service and staff wearing masks with tables spread out. Awesome!!

Now, my son tries it, he's not picky about his food at all, he's just happy to have an Italian beef since when he travels out of state for school, he can't find an Italian beef anywhere near Ames, Iowa. He couldn't even stomach finishing his beef, ate half of it and threw the rest away. It's that bad read more

This place is a full 5 star location to get quality food at a good price! I've always gotten the Cheezy Beef on Garlic, but I know others have tried the rest of the menu and I've never heard a negative thing about the food. The fries, which are fresh cut and made on site and awesome on their own. The location is clean inside and out, and the staff are very professional and courteous. I'd recommend Beef Shack to anyone looking to get a quality meal for an awesome price! read more

I used to be a huge Portillo's fan, then appreciated Buena Beef but still went to Portillo's because it was close and more locations. However after several trips to Beef Shack (Bartlett) I am convinced and have done same with my entire extended family to switch. If it's the regular beef, or the Beef on garlic bread with Cheese, Beef Shack BLOWS Portillo's away!!!! Better flavor, better bread, larger portions (they actually fill the roll with beef) where as Portillo's has really cut back since they were purchased. Portions are so small with a beef that you are getting 70% bread. Also at Beef Shack they have fantastic burgers and the fries are absolutely KILLER! Do yourself a favor and try it and you won't go back to Portillo's ever again! Reasonable prices, order on the app to pick up or go in to the store. Portillo's who? read more

I had Beef Combo and it was the best beef ever. A had it with cheese and it was very good. Service is very quick and efficient and dipped my sandwich very well. I would recommend to u beef lovers read more

Walked in to an open counter and ordered after waiting 2-3 minutes for a cash register problem. Ordered a cheezy garlic beef and a "mini" fry, $11.00+ which I felt was beyond expensive. Food prep area was buzzing with confusion. Many people walking around and seemed to be learning what to do. Number called and I grabbed my bag and left. Exiting there eastbound is interesting and exhilarating. At home could not tell if I actually even got the garlic bread because the flavor was very faint if even present at all. Sandwich was plenty cheesy but average or below in flavor by comparison to any place I have ever been to before. Absolutely nothing special. Frys were OK with the exception to the fact that I found one raw uncooked cold french fry in the bag. I bit it because I thought maybe it was something, but no, just a cold piece of raw potato. This place is a one and done for me . read more

Beef Shack - a hand holding a sandwich with a bite taken out of it - Fast Food Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

Great food, but on the pricey side. Hot-dogs are excellent (great flavor, snap), but are $3 a pop. At this higher-end price, you're essentially competing with Portillo's (who get TONS of business) and Scooby's who both charge the same price per dog. What would be best is if the $3 price (or even slightly higher like $3.29) included fries with the dog. (*Also, for $4 you can get a double-dog. This is probably the better bargain for your buck.) Beefs are very good, again they are on the pricey-er end. Buona Beef (Glendale Heights or St. Charles) and Poor Boy II (Wheaton - Roosevelt Rd.) have better beefs for better value. Beef Shack uses their own hoagie-type of roll. I think Gonella french bread is the best for beefs, but the beefs here are still pretty good. Fresh cut fries are very good. Burger I did not try, but a family member said it was "excellent". I would return here, because the place also does offer little coupons here and there, and occasionally has special bargains. Great food, just a bit on the pricey end. read more

Wow amazing, far exceeded my expectations. Now that Portillo's has been sold they have lost their quality.I will definitely be coming here instead for sure. read more

The beef sandwich was salty Two Beefs and fries 23.00 Quality of beef not as good as Portfolio or Dogfather read more

Good addition to the area. Beef filled the delicious roll and hand cut fries made to order. The staff is attentive and very helpful. Several people there were regulars and shared their experiences while the store first opened. Very impressed with customer service and cleanliness. See them being around for the long haul. read more

Really Really Good Fries, and that's no BS! Unless it's (B)eef (S)hack!! Hot dogs were great too.

I am impressed by this newer Beef Shack in Bartlett. The location is great, the atmosphere is clean and comfortable! As far as the food goes, their fries are really tasty, their burgers are good and the Italian beef with mozzarella is delicious. The customer service here represents Beef Shack very well and they are friendly. Oh! They have $1 Shakes in Saturday which I can't wait to try! read more

After eating a hotdog with fry's I've had food poisoning for the past 3 days. Will not be eating here again

put napkins in every bag stop telling us the napkins are on the bottom of bag when you know they're not in there go to portillos, they (like every other drive thru on planet earth) know how to pack an order correctly read more

We ordered two beef sandwiches and a large order of fries to go yesterday. The beef was ok, but not as good as the beef from Pietanza's across the street. The BIG problem was with the fries. About 90% of them were so burnt it was like eating charcoal, not that I ever tried it. I didn't realize there was a problem until I got home. I can understand leaving the fries in the fryer too long, but why in the world would they serve them? I do not recommend eating here. They don't seem to care about their customers. read more

I've been a regular customer at this place since it opened. I come at least twice a week. I also come on Tuesdays for the dollar hot dogs and go through the drive through. No problems until tonight. The cocky individual taking the order said I could only get 2 hot dogs for a dollar each but I wanted 3 like I always do. 2 for me and 1 for my wife. I explained this to her and she said I could order the 2 and my wife would have to come in for the 3rd. I told her my wife was in the car and she could see her but she wouldn't budge. I was also ordering other things besides the hot dogs. I told her to just forget it and left. When I got home, I called and asked to speak to the manager. I was on hold for 15 minutes and hung up. Because of their stupidity and horrible customer service, they have lost a very good customer. Won't be using them again. Dogfather has $2 hot dogs on Wednesdays, no limit ! my new go to read more

Had beef there today,beef tasted like shoe leather,no flavor, beef juice bad too! Don't waist your money here,fries no flavor also,go to Nana's or protillos,better beefs!! read more

They forgot the fries, which along with the sauce are the best part IMO, and my mom threw up right after she ate the burger. She said the patty tasted processed and rubbery. read more

We have been to this location many times since they opened. The 1st couple of times our orders were always right. Tonight we went there, placed our orders and waited awhile at the drive thru. They gave us our orders and as we were driving (still at the parking lot), we realized the full size salad was not in the bag. I had to go in and get it. Then we were about 10 mins away and realized they only gave us 1 container of cheese (ordered 3). It was a hassle to go back. It wouldn't have been bad if we didn't get charged for the other 2. This is not the first time. The other time, they didn't give us the salad. Other times, its the cheese. The food are expensive as it is there and now we have to check if the orders are all in the bag? The place is not even busy. read more

The cheesy beef on garlic was amaaaaaazing. Fries were hand cut and delicious. Our order was packaged nicely, and we received everything as ordered. Staff was friendly. Food was pretty fast. The location looked really clean. Definitely will be back. read more

Great Italian Beef and fresh cut fries in the area. The prices are good and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend.

Best beef sandwich in town! Once you try one I guarantee you'll never want Portillo's again. The fresh-cut fries are amazing too. I normally don't care for those kind of fries but I can't get enough of them here. read more

Ordered a combo on garlic bread. The beef was tasty and the sausage was perfect. Plus they threw in a free chocolate shake the day I went to pickup read more

Even on Christmas Eve close to closing time the staff was pleasant and welcoming thank you so much!

Ownership is fantastic! Food is incredible every single time we come. People are so friendly, I genuinely look forward to going here to get super friendly service and great food. Thanks for treating us so well every Monday!! read more

This rating is for our 2nd visit but I'm going to start this review with thoughts from our 1st visit. Owner was on site, Restaurant was clean and food was delicious. My girlfriend and I shared our thoughts that finally we have a beef stand close to us outside of portillo's. Told the owner that everything was great and we would be visiting weekly. 2nd visit nothing like the first. Upon entering I notice 2 orders of French fries had been made and were sitting underneath the warmer. 15 min. Later my order was being processed and couldn't take my mind off of those 2 orders of sad French fries that I knew had my name on them. Well sure enough I was the lucky recipient of those fries. 1 word "unedible". The beef consistency was one of rubber. Not happy, 22$ in the garbage. Hope they can turn things around fast. read more

Poor packaging for carry out orders. They put hot and cold items in the same bag. I ordered through a third part delivery service and my shakes came without any type of seal over the top. The tips of the shakes are open so they can put whipped cream on, but they don't seal them in any way. Not cool when the food is being delivered by a third party. read more

Went to the grand opening and was pretty disappointed. The cheesy beef was bland as can be.

The service was way faster than expected and the cheesy beef on garlic was fantastic, however the fries were also great don't get a large it is too many fries. read more

This place just opened and wont be open long. Very good service but HORRIBLE food. The beef sandwiches are on some bread that is way too soft and mushy even without gravy. The beef had no flavor at all, even with peppers. Fries were burnt. I cant even say how worthless the food is. Tried twice, wont be a 3rd time. Dont waste your money. I was hoping the area would have a new great place. I was terribly disappointed read more

This restaurant is immediately included in my list of good restaurants. I went in here for the first time. I came to know this restaurant through a friend who lives in the area and who also introduced me to it. I was in Bartlett, and I was looking for a good spot to have lunch, and my friend told me to go in here, so I did. I had high expectations because this was the first thing my friend recommended, and I expected the food to be excellent, which it is. The interior of the restaurant appears to be very nice, as does the atmosphere and vibe. The restaurant is neither large nor small, but lean and bright, and the interior appears to be very nice, as does the atmosphere and vibe. They have a menu that basically has all the food you would expect, such as burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. I was curious about their burger, and that is what I ordered, plus fries and a drink. The service is fast. Then, the burger has a good portion, not too big and not too small either, and it tastes really good, as do the fresh-cut fries. The food has nothing special about it, nor does the restaurant, but their good food and clean and nice place are enough that I would definitely not think twice about coming back. read more

This restaurant is very new and nice inside, but I personally don't think the Italian beef sandwich is as tasty as Portillos. The fries are kinda like the fries you get at 5 guys read more

Mini cheesy beef with fries can't be beat! Food was hot and tasted great. I will definitely be back again soon.

Was very excited to see Beef Shack opening in Bartlett. As a fan of them from St. Charles, it was great to see. When they had their soft opening you could tell they were new to the area with new staff. The food is great. They give you enough fries to feed your whole family and your neighbor. Beefs are delicious, get the garlic cheezy beef for extra awesomeness. read more

I've been reading mixed reviews about them for a while and decided to give them a try. They were in top 20 of Beefs in Chicago. They definitely live up to the title. I ordered the cheesy beef on garlic The beef wasn't the best I ever had but it was pretty darn good I must say. They added plenty of cheese I asked for it to be dipped really well and boy it was juicy and not a soggy juicy. Another reviewer said that they refused to do it for them, fortunately that wasn't my experience. The fries were made with fresh Idaho potatoes and were really good. They also have red creme soda in the fountain. YUM!!! I grew up around what was probably the world's best Italian Beef restaurant and they had red cream soda so this experience took me back to my childhood. I think $11 for the meal was a little pricey. I did get a $3 off coupon which will draw me back there soon. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd like to also mention that the bathroom was clean. I know that's a plus for some people. read more

I've always been a Portillo's guy but I will say that beef shack has changed my mind. BS fries are better, their service is faster and friendlier, and their sauce is better. If they had a cake shake it'd end game over. read more

I was in Bartlett and thought this looks like good place to stop for lunch..I was so happy I stopped here, the garlic cheesy beef was off the hook! Hot, flavorful, "party on my tongue good"fresh ingredients, and oh so delicious!! The fries are fresh cut too!! This place deserves 10 stars if that was possible! The owners were very polite and they really know what there doing, this place has an amazing beef sandwich, A real Chicago Staple!! Right here in Bartlett! I'll definitely be back!! read more
