Well, it's been seven years since I had a cheezy beef at the now closed, Joliet location. Found myself out this way and decided to give it another go. Kind of skimpy on the beef but their flavor is unique. Good fresh cut fries. Service was friendly and they keep the dining room clean. read more

We always go to the Beef Shack in Elgin. We were in St. Charles and thought we would order food to go from that location. We ordered a large chopped salad, two hot the dogs and a large fry extra crispy with no salt. the fries wouldn't even qualify for a small order. Extra crispy they were not. For $4.69 I would of excepted the bag to at least be full.The salad had more onion then anything else. I would not go there again. send your people to Elgin to be retrained. read more

Beef shack has amazing burgers. Burgers are only 5 dollars on Thursdays! Brioche bun with lettuce and tomato and ask for pickles or onions and the special sauce.Hand cut fries are good too.! On Tuesdays they offer a hotdog special for 1 dollar. What's not to like ? read more

The burgers are the best fast food around! Check them out, especially on Thursday when they are $5. I struggle to finish one. And the hand cut fries! Worth every calorie. One point off for an awkward and noisy dining area but otherwise excellent! read more

First time trying... We stopped in between shops on Randall Rd and were pleasantly surprised. My BF ordered the double bacon cheeseburger and I ordered the chicken sandwich. The beef was perfectly cooked and had crispy edges and the bacon was also cooked just right . My chicken was SO JUICY and the char from the grill made the flavor extra delicious. Whatever they put in the "shack seasoning" is magical. The chipotle mayo was a perfect addition to both sandwiches. Honestly, the chicken was better than a lot of sit-down restaurants I've tried! And the fries were crispy and not heavy/greasy like a lot of hand cut fries I've had at places like this. The cashier was friendly and it was easy to pay and didn't wait very long for our food to arrive. The inside was clean and so were the bathrooms - which is a nice plus. We will definitely be back! read more

French fifties there was a good abundance of them however they were very light on the beef like barely anything and the milk shake wasn't good either read more

We ordered from uber eats. The food arrived hot and fresh and as requested. It was better than portillos. Lbs... the side order of beef au ju was GROSS it was nothing but grease so happy I didn't my food in it. The $5.00 bag of fries were expensive tho! We could've easily shared just 1 bag of fries for 2 people. But all in all it was ok. I'd possibly order again. read more

Best hand cut fries. Very good dogs. Very good beefs. $1 shakes on Saturday. $1 hot dogs on Tuesdays.

Let me start by saying that I want to like Beef Shack, but... 3rd or 4th time here and today I had the regular Italian beef, dipped with sweet peppers. Honestly, where's the beef. Compared to other beef staples this sandwich was light on beef. The beef was rubbery and fatty too... not how an Italian beef should be. The fresh cut fries were good, the service was friendly and extra points for the aluminum cups. Take it for what it is an average beef joint. read more

So shack on in for 1$ shakes Saturdays, or enjoy your 1$ Weiner for 1$ Tuesdays! read more

The beef on its own has no taste. It's like eating air injected shaved beef with a coating of water. This is as close to a good Chicago style beef sandwich as Guzman y Gomez is to being good Mexican food. Beef Shack portions are huge but that's not a good thing. Fries are ok, drink sizes are large, service is good, and restaurant looks cool. I'd only go back to buy their awesome cow hat. read more

Amazing place to go to. So I was at beefshack right, and I got the dollar dogs as usual, and I also ask for a shake but then I realized, I didnt want to spend thr money for the shake. Well the cashier asked me my favorit flavor, I responded with vanilla, he then proceeds to go and get me a shake for absolutely free. He also added a smiley face =) 5 stars to the employee ​ read more

What has Beef Shack done to make it fries taste so good at the St Charles location ??? There two weeks ago and WOW. The Fries were always very good; but a little greasy. Now they are better than Mickey Dees. No more trace of grease. Just very crispy delicious, sumptuous, down to the last little shreds, I promise. Big Al :) Service is as always ---- EXCELLENT read more

Always a great Chicago style food here. I was happy to see a location come back to ST. Charles. This place has great specials and always makes everything fast and fresh. The 1 dollar hotdogs are my Tuesday routine. Service is usually friendly and fast. read more

I ordered the Italian beef and sausage combo. The sandwich hardly had any beef on it at all. Very, very skimpy and I wouldn't recommend it since their prices aren't as nearly cheap as what they give you. Fries were good, but that's not hard to do. Overall, you're better off picking up a frozen bucket of Buona beef at Jewel. It will cost the same and you will get way more! read more

I love a place called Beef Shack. The cheesy beef was good, but kind of overpowered by flavorless cheese. I'd get it again with no chz and maybe extra beef. The fries were 10/10 as good as it can get. Outstanding. Cool place. read more

First time: I got a cheesy beef mini with fries and diet coke. I usually eat in the car when I am on the run. The mini was truly a mini at about 3 1/2 inches. The cheese was skimpy The fries were quite good and generous. Three items with the emphasis on MINI, was $13+. Also, no napkins in the bag. I probably won't be back. read more

I have been here a few times. The cheesy beef is great. Fry's are very good. I was not impressed with the hamburger at all. Very dry.

So happy Beef Shack is back in St. Charles. Stopped yesterday for lunch. Had the cheesy beef with a small frie. Food was hot and delicious. In the photo, that's only half the small frie. The rest are in the bag. Restaurant is very clean and the service was good. If you are looking for an alternative to Portillos, I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I'd definitely go back because the cheesy beef was flavorful, but they didn't dip the sandwich so it lacked a bit of the traditional Italian beef flavor. Clean and inviting atmosphere with helpful staff. read more

We are in town from Arizona and saw a sign that Beef Shack/Cheesy Beef. Our eyes lit up and said that's where we are going for lunch (12/8) We order Cheesy Beef on Garlic bread. One had sweet peppers the other had hot peppers. The service was fast and very friendly. The restaurant looked very clean which is a plus for me. Oh my goodness, the sandwiches were definitely cheesy, beefy and delicious. The bread was nice and crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Juice just kept dripping from the sandwich so it definitely wasn't dry like most places. We definitely don't find these kind of sandwiches back home. I think this will be our go to whenever we are in town. read more

I went here with my buddies to have a good talk over dinner and catch up. I got the cheesy beef on garlic and it was very hot and good. A substantial amount of fries gets added to your bag no matter what you order so getting the small fry is more than enough. It was Saturday so they had a $1 special on shakes which was a great deal. We dined outside and all barley spoke to each other because we were too busy eating. Presentation isn't the greatest but that doesn't change how the food tastes. Very good seasoned fries and everyone finished the meal happily. Would come here again. We beef'n. read more

Great to have the Beef Shack back. I used the Mobil app to order. Worked well. They were very busy so I am glad I did. The order came out about 5 min later than the app said but the manager was great. When I asked him to check on my order he came out and gave it to me himself. Great service. The garlic cheese beef was great. I ordered one fry and the portions are huge. Highly recommend. read more

Warning. This place is a bit pricey. But sooo worth it !! If your only experience with Italian beef is Portillo's this will blow your tastebuds out of your head. It isn't anything exciting to see from the outside, but the food. OMG the food. I got a cheesy beef sandwich. Had to be about 10" on crispy roll with perfectly melted cheese. And the fries !! Made to order. Hand cut. Maybe a bit too much salt, but so good !! And huge. If you have someone with you I would suggest splitting them. Or you will be leaving very very full. Total for 4 people 50.00ish. Son got a wonderful looking hand made burger that was in his 8yr old opinion fantastic. Hubby got a beef and sausage with peppers. Daughter got a double dog meal (two dogs one bun ) that one came with fries. We got three fries that as I said were huge and 4 drinks. For the quality I'd say it was a fair price !! Will have to come back !!! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite while out Christmas shopping. Found a parking spot, pulled in up to the tire stop and heard a slight crunching noise. Hmmm, maybe I should pull back a little. Heard more crunching, grinding, ripping and the more I slowly reversed the more I heard damage occurring. I stopped, and wifey and I got out, walked to the front of her car and found the front bumper ripped entirely off the car, except for one bolt on the left side holding the remainder of the bumper which now lay on the ground. I don't have a low rider, it's a family car with pretty good ground clearance. I'd like to know who bought these tire stops, 'cause this particular car we were driving clears nearly everything. Still hungry, we went in and had a pretty good hamburger while I considered how I would get my wrecked car home. Of course this will be the last hamburger I have at Beef Shack, because, really....what kind of place installs parking lot wheel stops that destroy your car before the front tires even touch them. BTW, we thoughtfully inspected several other vehicles parked out front and none of them, except Ford F150 type trucks would clear these stops. Every other sedan would have hit them if they hadn't already. Having said all that, It really is a good hamburger at beef shack, just be careful parking though, because as good as it is....it could become a very expensive hamburger. read more

Good food and good service thank you The manager was dealing with a challenging customer and he did not lose his composure one bit . The service was good and the food was good and I'll be back read more

Love this place. We order from here almost weekly. Good beef, *great* chicken sandwiches, and excellent fries. All fresh. Would have been five stars but they recently switched from their in-house "Shack Sauce" to some god-awful prepackaged junk. Save your money and don't order the new sauce. But the rest of the food? Excellent, highly recommended. read more

The food at the Beef Shack is fair to good. The attention to detail at Beef Shack leaves a lot to be desired. For the third time we ordered food the bill coming to $45.00 US. This location continues to lack attention to detail. The first 2 times we had missing food. Yesterdays adventure into poor customer service was amazing. Only 1 other customer in the place and no cars in line at 4:00 PM. We were out shopping and not expected to get home for over an hour. Beef sandwiches tend to get soggy so we asked for the Au Jus on the side and paid $.25 for each one in the order. Getting home we find the Au Jus was not in the bag. Also, the plastic bag the sandwiches and French fries added to getting the food extra soggy. The receipt did not have a phone contact on it so I looked it up. I called and talked to a person and was getting no where. I asked to speak to the manager and explained the situation so it could be addressed with the staff and perhaps to evaluated paper bags in lieu of plastic. I received NO APPOLOGIES for the inconvenience and she was NOT interested in helping me. The final straw came when she said in a gruff manner "Well what do you want me to do about it?". I told her I was going to write a review and she could have cared less. So fellow patrons, drive the extra 1 or 2 miles to Portillos down the street. Unlike Beef Shack They actually are helpful and polite. Quality control appears not to exist in the Beef Shack culture. It is not the $.50 cents mind you. It is the fact they REALLY DO NOT CARE! And corporate Beef Shack, the order was #387 at 4:06 PM on 11/5/2024. read more

I went to beef shack for the first time in Saint Charles. I ordered a mini cheesy beef and mini fries. The beef looked small at first but it was really enough for lunch. The beef was delicious. The fries were also very good, fresh cut. I would have liked a little more fries in the bag. My only problem is the cost I did not have a drink and it was nearly $12 for a mini beef and a mini fry that seemed a little expensive to me. read more

I stopped today for a burger and was the worst burger that I have had in a long time! I was so surprised! The beef's are always so good, I expected a good burger! read more

Ordered today for the first time - through uber eats - delivery was very fast and easy. I ordered Cheezy beef on garlic - mini. It was way smaller than I expected - good for smaller kids or someone that eats smaller portions. The beef - very good. Way better than P's that has become so thick and chewy. The bread was good although I didn't taste garlic and the hot peppers very good. I also got a mini fry - which was HUGE compared to the mini beef - I still have enough for 2 more meals. I also tried the shack sauce - sort of tastes like the big mac sauce - in it but very good. I'm happy with this order and look forward to trying other things soon. read more

Wow! I've been away from Chicago for about 18 years and this restaurant is one of the reasons why I am very happy to be back. Great selection of sandwiches meat is tender and of high-quality, prices are reasonable, and customer service is excellent. read more

Tried them out again,I had ordered online, said it be ready in 15 minutes I arrived in 20,front said they are making the fries,there was line behind me,they order and got their food,I asked the front again can you check,came back saying waiting on fries,front was apologetic and told me to take giardiniera jar for the wait,I don't like giardiniera but I took it anyway,after 15 minutes of waiting ,I got my food. they forgot my shake.luckily I didn't rush out forgetting it,when I got home the food was completely cold.word of advice ,don't order online read more

$1 shake is pretty cool. Also Kevin C was pretty cool. That is all but I have to hit the character limit with this sentence

Hate this! I asked for extra giardiniera, dipped cherry beef on garlic bread, and juice on the side as well. It's not even garlic bread, it's freakin dry as can be, NO GIARDINIERA, and the juice is nowhere. This is a waste of my time, money, and star. read more

Do you want to get parked and wait 10 minutes for a french fry? This is the place. You guys took the reigns from Mr Beef and Gyros. Your food was stellar, then you closed. Now you reopen and you are just another big conglomerate of fat cats who sold out and skimp each and every burger, dog, fry and beef you can. You guys shave off savings wherever you can. Shortcuts and excuses. Absolutely pathetic. read more

The service was poor and not very helpful, and the cashiers didn't come off as very approachable. The Italian beef I ordered was lacking in flavor and dry, the fries were very soggy and covered in too much salt. The price they charge for every item is ridiculous compared to the quality you receive. I will never go back there! This is not a great example of Chicago Italian beef read more
