Any time I get the chance to visit Brodie's Beef, the experience is always great. The food is cooked to perfection and flavorful, and there always seems to be a specialty item. This time around, they had a chocolate chocolate chip cake available for Valentine's Day. It was EXTREMELY affordable, and honestly, they were undercharging for how delicious that cake was. I've never had such a most cake with such light, whipped frosting before. I wish I purchased more of them! While I didn't have them this time around, if you ever get the chance to visit, you have to try the funnel cake fries! They're topped with a generous amount of powdered sugar and make for a perfect post-meal treat. read more

Greeted upon walking and the staff when ordering is so friendly. We ordered an Italian beef with fries and a cheeseburger (not pictured) the food did not disappoint! Generous portions! The Italian beef is delicious and the fries are natural cut and soooo delicious, with a lil malt vinegar and ketchup too. The cheese burger was also good. Small clean restaurant in a strip mall right off the interstate. Lots of cute quirky signs. Only odd thing was the chairs are all up and it gives the feel they are closing. He assured us they were not and we could dine in. read more

We enjoy the Italian beef, gyro , Maxwell street polish. French fries are Very tasty. Friendly little place with Counter service.

Now I know what my retirement business will be: open a real Chicago beef joint in Delavan and put Brodie's straight out of business. Stopped by to check them out today and got one of their beef sandwiches. Bread was good, but the beef, and I am not kidding or exaggerating, looked and tasted exactly like Arby's roast beef. What in the world is going on at Brodie's beef? For all of the Illinois license plates in the area, this place should not even exist. The sign on the wall said that they also serve Vienna beef hotdogs, so maybe their other offerings are better, but if you are up from Chicago and are looking for a beef that is even marginally, acceptable, do not stop at Brodie's. On the upside, The restaurant is conveniently located off of 43 and Route 50, and the inside is decorated nicely and feels like a pretty cool joint. Service was good, and there was plenty of Arby's roast beef on my sandwich ;-). read more

This is a very good place to get an Italian beef sandwich, fries are excellent. Service is great. Haven't had anything else but everyone looked happy. read more

Always great food love their Italian beef and Chicago style hotdogs. Definitely worth stopping and giving a try. Highly recommend.

This was NOT a good experience $12 for 2 dogs ,fry drink- Never Again Dogs were small, and skin was very tough, I'm guessing under cooked . Fries were greasy and over salted, couldn't eat most, fountain drink I do not have any plans to return. Update: Business owner responded very quickly Hot dogs were dropped to cook when ordered by the blond haired lady. No way would they be ready in the 5 mins before being prepared. I know what kind of fries you serve, way too salty , maybe staff should clean the fry tray out a couple times a day. The pickle was bigger than the dog. I would have said something, but it was a to go order, and I was back on 43, in 3 mins after walking out the door! I wasn't going to turn around just to tell staff that what they put out, wasn't any good. Just telling it like it is ! read more

The food is amazing. As good or better than portillos!! The staff have good hygiene. And the boss is a wonderful man!

I usually go to a place in Elkhorn but sadly it is closing soon. So I tried Brodies. I was very disappointed. First it took a long time to get my food. The fries were burnt. I asked for a cup of juice for my beef. They gave me one of the tiny cups that they use for dipping sauce. The beef couldn't even fit in it to dunk it. The sandwich had half the meat the place in Elkhorn gives. I don't like giving bad reviews but I was very disappointed. read more

Beef was good and tender.Could have been a little more spicer like in Chicago. Gyro was very good. read more

With so many Illinois license plates around here, it's no surprise I guess that there are several options in the Lake Geneva/Como/Delavan area for Chicago style dogs and beefs. Brodie's does a great job. Great dog, decorated correctly, and they kick it up a notch with what appear to be hand-cut shoestring fries. Nice! A little pricey at $8 for a dog, fries and medium drink, but hey, moneybags, you're on vacation! LOL read more

Very solid beef and sausage combo and the fries were very good as well. Unlike many combos I have had at other places, the sausage was very moist and had a lot of flavor. Suggest ordering a side of au jus with the sandwich as it was very flavorful. Service was very good and employees were all very friendly. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Brodie's beef. Everything we had was delicious, the hot dogs and fries are especially amazing. It was an inviting place and the owner even went as far to walk around to pick up trash and ask us how everything was, he even gave us a free jar of their Chicago style hot Giardiniera because we told him we came from Texas. Will definitely come back here when I'm in town visiting family read more

I came here to try the beef. I gotta say it was like trying Chewy cold cut. The pictures on yelp look great but it's nothing what you get. It was one of the worst beef's I ever tasted. The meat was very light and looked like they just took it out of a bag of cold cuts. Fries were pretty good. I decided to try a milk shake and that was just your plain milk shake nothing special. Definitely not coming back. read more

Upon arrival we were greeted with the cutest smile and kindness. The food smelled delicious and I instantly knew what I was going to order. An Italian combo with hot peppers and cheese. My wife ordered the corn dog and fries with an order of the fried pickles. The pickles flavor was great, however the cut consistency was off the mark which caused the cook to be equally inconsistent. That would be the only complaint about the meal. My Italian combo was delicious and the fries are the nice I forgot to take a picture of my food because it had a date with my mouth. I'll be back soon. read more

The best Gyros in the Lake Geneva area. Sliced right off the spit in front of you. Good hot dogs too. Plenty of clever signs to read while you are waiting. read more

This is definitely good beef and Chicago dogs right here in Wisconsin. Pizza puffs are good, dogs are great, and the beefs with cheese and peppers, we'll try it and you'll see. read more

One thing can be said for this place. The quality hasn't changed although the owner and management seems to change a lot. Dogs burgers and fries are great. Gyros... ehh. All in all it's alright. And down the road! Easy good bite! Definitely stop in if your by the place. read more

Tried this place out for the first time tonight. Didn't have high expectations but was pleasantly surprised when I walked in the door. Plenty of seating. Staff seemed attentive and polite. Ordered our food and waited and fair amount of time as there were others waiting. I ordered the cheddar and beef sandwich *with sweet peppers* ...boyfriend had a burger with the works. We shared some jalapeño poppers. We ate the poppers on the way home and they were very good. Crispy and fresh. Got home, less that 2 miles away, realized something was leaking from the bag. Open my sandwich (beef and cheddar) and it is literally sopping wet. Inedible. The bun was completely disintegrated. "Cheese sauce" was more like watered down velveeta or something. The "sweet peppers" were nothing but soggy green bell peppers. For the life of me cannot understand why anyone would make a sandwich like this. Is it so difficult to drain the meat off? Or maybe it's just the cheese sauce was *that* thin... either way completely grossed out. I really feel ripped off when people do things like this out of pure laziness. read more

Food is always very very good. The fries are my personal favorite. Lately though the staff isn't as welcoming and has trouble answering the phones. I'm not sure if there was a shift in employees or what the reason for the change up was. read more

Great food. Hard working people there. Always fresh and prices are good. Compliments to those who have worked there for many years.

Love love this place. I have been coming here since they opened. I have NEVER had anything bad from here. The owner and employees are awesome and always help each order be accurate and made perfectly! I stop in every time I am in the area. read more

I was gonna give this place a 3, but, the flavor brought it up to a 4. Presentation is pretty terrible with soggy bread and a sub sandwich that had to be eaten with a fork and knife ... husband said the meatballs were really tasty. My Italian beef was lukewarm temp, would have been much better if it was hot and not on soggy bread. I enjoyed the beef though, just didn't eat the bread. read more

Wow what a surprise. We were hungry and Panera wasn't taking online orders (and the last 2 lunches we got there were horrible) so we thought we'd give Brodie's a try. It was fast, hot and delicious. And they even waited to drop the fries until we arrived to pick up the order. Italian beef, Chicago dog, gyro and fries. All fantastic and some of the best we've had. This is now our go-to lunch stop when we're on our way through Delavan. read more

Nice fast food place that has all your typical burgers, hot dogs, beef sandwiches, gyros, etc. The fries are fresh cut and delicious. Prices are reasonable. It's a good alternate to all the fast food options in the area. read more

My first time here. The previous reviews are enough to scare someone off, however I'm craving Italian hot beef so here we go! Place is clean and staff was very friendly when I came in. I preferred the Italian hot beef just the sandwich not the basket and a water. Water is fresh and clean no black things in ice. Onto the food! Bread was overly soggy. Very greasy presentation( not a bad thing) perfect amount of cheese beef and peppers, and messy in a good way. Don't let past reviews scare u. This is good food at a fare price read more

Haven't been to this place in a few years. Came in last Tuesday had the Greek salad and I can honestly say that it was one of the best Greek salads I've ever had! Not sure if he makes the dressing homemade there or not however it was very good. The lettuce was very fresh and crisp and the salad had black olives on which I like and they were good. The cheese was fresh and very good also. I took it to go so presentation is hard to rate when they put it in a Styrofoam container and in a bag for you. Now we'll talk about my latest visit which was Friday afternoon. I had the two hotdog meal. Chicago dogs with what appears to be homemade shoestring french fries. French fries were awesome and flavorful! Not too greasy and they were very good! They don't salt them which is good if your on a low sodium diet. I salted mine to taste. The Chicago style dogs were spot on! I love peppers and pickles! Tomatoes were fresh and the hot dogs were very good and have that snap to them! Buns were fresh also! Are in at this visit so we'll talk about the in dining experience. Table was clean and restaurant itself appeared to be very clean and organized. The soft drink station was well-maintained and totally functional. Employees were professional and courteous and very knowledgeable about their menu. They also have Italian beef of which I've been told by a few people that it is the best they've ever had! I will try it out on my next visit! Highly recommend stopping in and to make this clear this is a fast food place so you don't have a waitress taking your order. read more

Under new management, the decor has changed from the sports memorabilia to nostalgic commercial signs. It's lost a bit of their "Chicago Dog" feeling. Overall, service was good. Food was relatively fast, we had a craving for Gyros and thought of Brodie's! Their hand cut fries were piping hot. The food was presented nicely, and was made to order. It was actually better than we anticipated! I would recommend it for a casual lunch. read more

Brodie's Beef - Greek Gyros! - Burgers Near Me - Delavan, Wisconsin

Best Italian beef in Wisconsin! Not even joking... Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I love coming here on my lunch breaks. The fries are top notch as well. read more

This sandwich shop is a version of Luke's in the Illinois area and their menu and pricing are identical expensive... but with one exception Brodie's Beef rips you off with their portions... I ordered a Gyro and a order of onion rings, for $14. The Gyro had 6 small shavings of meat on it, and the order of onion rings consisted of 4 onion rings. What a rip off. HS students that run the place are as Sloooow a molasses making your food as well. I also LOVE the answering machine that says if we don't answer we're busy, don't leave a message we won't listen to it or call back... but when you walk in there are four people talking while you heat the phone ringing in the background. Can't wait till the carnival is back in town where I can get a decent size Gyro with proper portion of food for the cost. read more

I've driven by this place a lot. Most of the time I just giggle about the name. After a week in Chicago I still had the hankering for an Italian Beef. I got the Italian Beef Basket with cheese. The Beef was good very moist. Had a little bit too much pepper in the au jus for my liking. Needed more cheese. The fries were great. Not to greasy with a good flavor. Restaurant seemed very clean. Staff was very friendly 4.5 Stars read more

Great Chicago-style fast food, Italian beef, beef/sausage combo, hot dogs, burgers, etc.

Probably the most overpriced food in all of Walworth County. The wife of the owner could not have been more rude. Don't waste your time on this place. If you need a good beef sandwich you can get it at Rigatony's or Clocktower. Both are excellent and only minutes away. read more

Stopped for lunch one day during a seminar. Had a italian beef sandwich with fries. Both were quite tasty and fries were cooked just the way I like them. Place is not very big that's not a deal breaker for me. Would definitely go back. read more

This is another one of those random gems that you find when traveling. I was on a road trip to Dekalb, IL for a long weekend. I was starving for some food, and then, it happened. The express way sign struck me like a bird flying into a window, POW!!! "Brodies Italian Beef, exit 214 Delavan"....I was struck, and therefore I went forth. Did I use yelp to see what people said about this place? Of course I did! I was seeing the comparison from Portillo's on everyone's review, and much more they really enjoyed Brodies Italian Beef than the big famous Portillos. (No diss to them, I still eat there) However, I walk in with my wife and kids, we order and sit down. I notice, the manager walking around and talking to his employees, and noticed an accent that is way too familiar with me. I yelled out...Aye yo' you're from South Side Chicago? He replied proudly "YES I AM" Right then and there, I knew the food was gonna be good, because of that pride he carries with him, it definitely translates into the food. After a quick convo with the owner/manager/cook, we come to find out, we're from the same neighborhood and lived blocks from each other. Small world I tell ya!! I had the Italian Beef with Hot Peppers and it was dipped! Let me tell you, that beef with tender and had so much flavor, not greasy and the hot gardinera peppers complimented the sandwich perfectly. Turano bread was the bun of choice and an excellent one at that! This beef was waaay better than Portillos HANDS DOWN! Prices were good, Fries were crunchy and hand cut fresh! This is a great little spot in Delavan, and I will drive an hour from Milwaukee to get this food, because it is so worth it. Shout out to Tommy from Brodies, you're living the dream my friend! read more

Italian Beef is awesome here! This is not a sandwich that I would typically order. But after having this one, I will definitely come back for more. Best Italian Beef I've ever had. The beef was tender and soaked with great flavor, the bread was soft, the giardiniera peppers were perfectly hot. Yum! read more

Brodie's Beef - Burgers Near Me - Delavan, Wisconsin

All I can say is I spent 60 years living in Chicago and finally moved to Williams Bay full-time three years ago. About a year and a half ago I discovered Brodie's and found the best Italian beef sandwiches i've had in many years. Also I believe the owner is a veteran and a perfectionist. I've never been disappointed with anything I've had there. Plus the 70s music makes Brodie's a fun place to visit. read more

It's my first time here and after reading the reviews and checking it out I have to agree that this is a decent place to lunch! They serve a nice Italian beef and my husband liked his a lot but he mentioned that the peppers were more spicy than he is used to. I tried the burger with Merkdt cheese and everything on it and it was really decent! The don't skimp on the extras and the grilled onions were perfectly done. I really like that they have fresh cut thin fries that were piping hot. The kids enjoyed their hot dog meals and their basket (combo with fries and drinks) are very reasonably priced! I will definitely be back. Service was prompt and pleasant and the bathrooms were clean and tidy. I would have given them five stars except the beef was slightly dry instead of juicy. read more

I'm really glad I happened to find this place. Noticed it on one of those highway signs that point out food, lodging, etc. at the next exit on I43. This is seriously great Italian Beef. Thinly sliced, lean, seasoned appropriately and just enough "juice" to make it easy to eat in the car without a mess. The owner is friendly and wants to make sure you're satisfied; obviously proud of his product. I'll be back for more and can't wait to try other menu items! read more

Very slow very slow and not that great. Only game in town and we all suffer. Guess I will head to lake geneva
