This place is just your ordinary strip mall place. It's kind of normal inside but also entertaining. Plenty of seating and fun stuff to see. The guy behind the counter is enthusiastic about his establishment and happily guided me to choose a fantastic sandwich. The #13 is roast beef and provolone with garlic Bread and pesto. Wow it was awesome. You can't go wrong and they have so many selection you can visit over and over and never try the same thing twice. Great choice!!! Eat here!!!

I've been a driver or in construction my whole life as we so I've tried beefs from everywhere. This place was average at Best. Not hating. It was reasonably priced and had a nice spice to it. I didn't like that they don't put mozzarella on it and to be honest, even though I got it wet it was still dry"the beef". I got the 9 inch and I almost stopped eating it 3/4 of the way through cuz I was just bored with it. I know that portillos has gone downhill lately and their beefs are over priced but even they have more flavor. If you want "in my opinion" the best beef in Chicago, go to Mickey's in Bellwood. The absolute best I've had so far. One more thing. This place took an extra $4 from me because I didn't know that hotdogs came with a fry so when I ordered a beef a hotdog and a fry they sold me 2 orders of fries. I guess that was my fault too. Oh well, you live and you learn

I thought that was a bit crazy for two wraps so I just decided to drive to the restaurant myself. Got two Dubai style chicken Shawarma wraps and asked for sauce when I picked up the order. He gave me some sport peppers and some garlic sauce. I asked for hot sauce and he said there would be an extra charge for it. When I looked at the container it was a small container of some kind of hot sauce. I decided to skip as I already paid for my order. The amount of meat is generous, but the flavor is very very mediocre. It just tasted like a wrap filled with warm lettuce, warm tomatoes, warm garlic sauce, surrounded in bland chicken inside a tortilla that was buttered with sesame seeds on top and then toasted. The tortillas were all hanging on the edge of the lid that all of their condiments are stored in. It was really bizarre. Would be nice if the meat had some flavor or at the very least they offered sauces without an additional charge. Total was $29 Will not be returning.

Second, I ordered via their website, which was simple, and 5 minutes later the order was ready. The staff was polite and efficient. Third, the food was DELICIOUS! I got the Bishkek mix wrap with fries. The wrap was full of fresh ingredients, including meat, cheese, vegetables, and a tasty garlic sauce. NOTE that the website's pics are cartoony and don't represent what you get. It was much bigger than I expected (that's not a complaint ;-). The fries were hot and crispy. I'll be back. Maybe I'll see you there! Peace.

The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated but could use some updates but definitely feels cozy. The weather is in the 90's and the restaurant is nice and cool! There are several TV's mounted on the wall throughout the restaurant. Two are showing menu items, one is showing a soccer game, one is showing golf. and the last one is just some random tv program. The sound is off and they are playing Spanish music. There are lots of great menu items. I had a hard time picking out something to eat. I have never had a torta and decided to order the Chile Relleno Torta. It was spectacular! The bread was crispy and warm on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. It was seasoned perfectly and I could taste all the individual ingredients. I would definitely order again and recommend you try it as well. Definitely better then I expected. My husband ordered the Carne Asda burrito Suizo which he orders everywhere. Wow it is huge and the meat was tender and definitely one of the top 5 that he has ever eaten! Our waitress was very kind and attentive, she even refilled our chips. We left the restaurant full and happy! We will definitely be back!!

I totally dig the classic old school diner vibes and its a shame that there was only a few people inside when we were there. The sweet lady who took our order was very helpful to recommend some items on the menu. Overall the place seemed well kept and honestly under appreciated. Wait times for food were reasonable and things moved along well and without fuss. I jumped at the usual things i get from these kinds of places. The french fries were decent, but didn't really have much that set them above the average fry, though we ain't hating here. Of course I had to get the mozzarella sticks, and it was the right choice like always. The flavor and texture were on point, and the pull was tenfold. The marinara needed a little more going for it, but that didn't detract. My main item, a basic hotdog was solid as well. I intended to try some other things next time for sure, since they have pizza as well. It's a gall darn shame this place wasn't jumping when we were there, cause I can imagine what that atmosphere would be like. Lets spread word about Mr Beef! Can't wait to be back!

The individual at the counter was very friendly and gave me recommendations after telling him it was my first time. I love buffalo wings, and he recommended the smash burger. Food wise, it's not bad, but it's not great. I personally prefer my wings to have the crispy skin exterior where theirs is made with what seems to just be the chicken+sauce. Reviewing a spot like this is interesting since for me personally I take into account how much I paid for the meal compared to how good it is. For this burger and 6 wings, the total came out to be $24.68. If this meal somehow could be closer to something like $15-$20, I'd probably give it four stars and return some day. I get it's a difficult in this economy, but I've had better for cheaper.
