Oh, how I miss that one big guy that used to say, "gimmie a beef, drag it, and a bag to travel". Or, "gimme an ice, cap it, next!" Johnnie's is an icon, just based on the experience of listening to that guy talk. Ah, but he's long gone, and new ownership abounds. But the beef is still great. One of the best beef sandwiches around, combos that are seasoned just right, and Italian ice That hits the spot on a hot summer day. I think the hot dogs are just a throw in, and the fries are decent. But it's the beef that keeps bringing you back. Not much ambiance, unless you want to stand and watch the cars roll by on North Avenue, but the smell of the sausage cooking is intoxicating. The price of the beef has gone up, and I swear it's a tad smaller, but if you're in the neighborhood, nothing hits the spot quite like a Johnnie's beef sandwich. I can still hear the big guy...."Whaddah need, gimmie a beef, wet, sweet and hot, That'l be nine fiffy two, bag it, next!" I miss him... read more

We stopped by Johnnie's Beef and tried both the Italian Beef and the Italian Sausage. The Italian Beef was outstanding. We ordered it dipped, and the beef was tender, flavorful, and packed with rich gravy without becoming soggy. It lived up to the reputation that so many Chicago locals talk about. The Italian Sausage was also excellent, with great flavor and a nice balance of seasoning. Both sandwiches tasted fresh and authentic. The service was fast, the atmosphere was classic Chicago, and it was easy to see why this place has such a loyal following. If you're looking for a true Chicago Italian beef experience, Johnnie's is absolutely worth the trip. read more

Idk why it took me so long to visit this Chicago classic. I've never been a huge fan of Italian beefs or maybe I just wasn't trying the right places. This place changed my husband and I's opinion. Lines can get long. We waited maybe like 15-20 min but the food is ready pretty quickly once you place your order. This place is cash only! The Italian beef had the right amount of juice for me. I was scared to get it dipped cause I don't like my food soggy but honestly this was perfect. The hot peppers give it a great kick! Fries were crispy and delish. The Italian ice was so dang good I wish I ordered a large. Simple yet so good. It's got bits of lemon slices mixed in. read more

Something's are just delicious in their own spicy way and that's exactly what I'm gonna say about that beef and sausage sandwich I had here the other day! So it was all about the beef and sausage sandwich for me and I will say I found the sausage to be spicier than the peppers themselves which was totally awesome as anything that's hot I'm game for, while it wasn't overly bearing hot it just had a good flavor to it with every component especially the beef itself which honestly I kinda wish I would have only gotten the beef as I just enjoyed it's flavor on that yummy bread with the sweet and the hot peppers! They had a tamale here too and it was ok it was 4 small pieces that were easy to share or had a good corn flavor to it while it was yummy It really reminded me of the ones that you can find on the corner of Rampart & Beverly in LA as the flavor was very similar to me. One of the biggest goodies here was that lemon ice like that was sooo yummy such a good lemon flavor all iced out it really hit the spot for being one of the best lemon ice I've ever had! Overall super yummy little spot doing it right so do yourself a favor and just go to Johnnie's you'll be happy you did! read more

Johnnie's Beef has hands down the best Italian beef in Chicago! I wasn't sure what to expect. I came here on a Saturday around 1pm and the line wasn't too long. The menu is straight to the point and the restaurant itself is pretty small. You'll be standing eating inside or you can go outside where they have tables. The employees are incredibly efficient! The line moves quick and I recommend reviewing the menu ahead of time. For the food, I ordered the Italian beef, French fries and Italian ice. The first bite of the Italian beef was incredible. There was so much flavor and the peppers gave it a great kick. I ended up ordering another one. The fries were fresh and I would get again. The Italian ice was the star as well. It was so good! I can't even put it to words. The whole meal was perfect. I cannot wait to try it again. Thank you so much Johnnie's Beef! read more

I finally made it out to Johnnie's Beef and overall, it lived up to the reputation; just not quite to the level I had built up in my head. The Italian beef sandwich was solid. The bread held up well, the beef was flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and well put together. You can tell they've been doing this for a long time. It's definitely a quality sandwich. What really stood out to me, though, was the experience. There's something classic about the place: the line, the pace, the way orders are taken. It feels like a true Chicago institution, and I appreciated that more than anything. That said, while it was very good, I wouldn't say I was blown away. It didn't quite hit that "best I've ever had" level for me, but it's absolutely worth trying, especially if you're into iconic spots. I'd come back again, no question; just with slightly adjusted expectations. read more

--Location/Parking-- Located in in the middle of Chicago, there was parking for at least 20 cars spread out through the parking lot, but I came during pre-lunch hours and there were plenty of spots. I might have caught it before the dinner crowd so I didn't have to fight for parking. --Ambience-- A simple hot dog stand vibe where there were only one way entrance that leads up to a single cashier and next to the line was a standing only bar table to eat. I recommend taking the food outside to eat on the benches or taking it to go because of the limited space. --Service/Staff-- Because of the limited menu there was not much of a wait. I think it took me longer to put my money away, because my food was ready before I could collect the change. The staff were super efficient. --Products/Service-- I ordered several things on the menu to try out from Italian beef to the combo of beef and sausage with hot peppers. I also order the hot dogs and fries. I recommend the Italian beef which they were are know for, I want to order it next time sans sausage, but with the hot peppers. --Capacity-- Indoors can hold 10 people waiting in line. There is no indoor seating. There are 5 or 6 out door tables, but in the cold you might want to eat in the car or take it to-go. --Overall-- Recommended Italian beef spot. I will be back to try out there other menu items, I recommend bringing cash. This is a cash only spot. read more

If one were tasked with distilling the very soul of Chicago (even tho your technically standing in elmwood park) into something edible.....something that could be held, briefly contemplated, and then unapologetically devoured--it would look, smell, and taste precisely like a sandwich from Johnnie's Beef. This is not merely an establishment.......it is a culinary institution, a fixed point in the ever-shifting firmament of Chicagoland gastronomy. It is, for many of us, the taste of adolescence, of late afternoons and neon lit evenings, of paper-wrapped indulgence consumed curbside with reckless devotion. This is the Chicago beef I grew up eating weekly for the first 20 or so years of my life....and time...so often the enemy of tradition--has, in this case, been mercifully irrelevant. There have been whispers, of course. Murmurings carried on the wind about diminished portions under new ownership, a supposed shrinking of the once mighty sandwich. I have heard them. I have even approached the counter with a faint, skeptical eyebrow raised. And yet--each time--the myth dissolves upon first bite. The sandwich remains as it ever was: abundant, unapologetic, and gloriously excessive in all the ways that matter. What to order? There is only one answer worthy of serious consideration: the combo. The Italian beef and sausage combination here is not simply a sandwich.......it is a composition, a kind of edible symphony rendered in bread and jus. The sausage arrives first in the mind, its casing kissed by the grill, bearing that faint, essential char......the kind that speaks not of carelessness, but of intention. It offers resistance, then yields, releasing a deeply spiced, almost primal savoriness. Then comes the beef--thinly sliced, luxuriating in its own juices, soaked to that precise point where structure and surrender coexist. It is neither dry nor collapsing, but instead exists in that elusive middle ground: tender, saturated, profoundly beefy. And over this duet--this marriage of land and fire.......are layered the sweet peppers, soft and almost confessional in their sweetness, followed by the giardiniera: bright, acidic, unapologetically crunchy. It is here that the sandwich achieves its full voice. The giardiniera does not merely accompany--it interrupts, challenges, elevates. It cuts through the richness with a sharp, vegetal wit, leaving behind a lingering heat that demands another bite. One does not eat this sandwich neatly. One does not eat it politely. It drips, it stains, it asserts itself. It is, in every sense, alive. And perhaps that is the highest praise one can offer: that in a world increasingly inclined toward reinvention and unnecessary refinement, Johnnie's Beef remains steadfast. Not frozen in time, but faithful to it. A sandwich like this does not need to evolve. It simply needs to endure. read more

Know your order, cash only, and eat. They mean business and their food speaks for itself! We came by on a Sunday right before opening and there was already a line at least 20 people deep. We knew we were in for a treat. By 10 minutes after opening the line was around the corner and at least 50-60 people deep. But they had 6 guys on the line and they were cruising through it! I swore I was in and out in a matter of 5 minutes. They have a small but mighty menu and a super efficient crew. We got an Italian ice (small one and that was still tons!), a dipped Italian beef with sweet and hot peppers, a beef combo, and fries. Italian beef is such a Chicagoan staple, and it sure didn't disappoint here. It was juicy and full of flavor, they really do pack that sandwich. I swore I was full before I even got halfway. The Italian ice was the perfect treat to finish off the meal! A must visit when you're in the mood for Italian beef! read more

After terrorizing the rotisserie chicken at Fresh Thyme Market, I jay walked directly across the street to hit the legendary Chicago institution that is Johnnie's Beef. I was only in Chicago for 4 days so I had to maximize my time. I hopped in a line that was down the block and took in my surroundings: Customers sitting on these benches outside that have likely been untouched since 2004, eating their sandwiches and drinking their Italian lemonades like they were in a 1980s fast food ad. Beautiful. As the line moved pretty quick, I noticed they had yellow jacket traps with 50+ yellow jackets in each bag. This is a slight tangent, but I've eaten 100+ rotisserie chickens outdoors this year, and when the summer came, wasps began to SWARM my birds. We've been in a 12 round war for the chickens all summer and I should have just invested in one of these traps. What a genius idea. After about 25+ minutes, I got to the front of the line and a wave of anxiety flooded my prefrontal cortex when I read a sign that said "Cash Only." I was cashless. I asked the employee where the nearest ATM was. He pointed across the street and said "when you get back, just come back to the front of the line I'll take care of you." Wow. NY has never seen this level of kindness. As I took a step towards the doors, I heard a ladies voice say "Oh I can just give you cash and you can venmo me if that's easier!" This had me BLUSHING. Even typing this back I'm getting all happy again. Her name was Annie, and I was shocked that someone could be so nice to a random stranger. Annie spotted me a $20 and I venmo'd her $25, because that's how my momma raised me. I told the employee it was my first time and asked him what the move was. "You should try the sausage and beef with hot peppers if you think you can handle it." I did that and a side of fries, and their legendary Italian lemonade which is essentially shaved ice. When in Rome. There were no seats, so I jay walked back across the street and ate it on a table right outside of Fresh Thyme Market. This legendary Chicago sandwich was good. Really good. I'm not going to sit here and say it was the best sandwich I've ever had, but I think what missed for me was the scoop gravy on top wasn't my favorite thing. It just sort of made it a bit too soggy. I want to note this is purely personal preference, and it was still 100% worth the wait, but just didn't "WOW" me. The Italian lemonade however was PHENOMENAL. It really gave me life back. I'm sitting here in Hawaii typing this up, reminiscing on this experience, and really wish I had another one right now. Fries were smacking too, and I love their branding. It's maximalist. It's soulfull. I'm so tired of these restaurants having this minimalist branding trying to be all chic and cool. Put some heart in your branding. Put some soul in there. Shoutout to Johnnie's Beef. A true must try when in Chicago... and shoutout to Annie for helping a random stranger. We need more Annies in this world. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo read more

Italian beef so much better than Portillos! Best lemon Italian ice that I can ever remember having. Classic Italian beef, spicy or sweet peppers, just juicy or dunked in au jus. I got the combo beef and sausage with spicy peppers. Hot dogs and fries available too. Better know what you are ordering as these guys are super efficient and fast. Your items ready before you can pay. Cash only so don't get caught without! Nothing fussy with the ambiance. Just some picnic tables outside. Line may look long but moves extremely fast. Harder to find a table than to order. Get someone in your party to hold the table. Absolutely a classic place that is a must for any visit to Chicago. read more

It's Johnnies, it auto gets 4 stars. But let's be real. It's not the Johnnies that we all remember. Beefs are $7, and every time you go in the price has risen. I only get there once a year or so, but it's pretty obvious. And the size of the beef has been reduced by at least a third. It's pretty small at this point. So you'll need to order a couple. Italian ice is still my favorite. But unfortunately, the reputation has turned it into a money machine rather than the high quality sandwich shop we all knew and love. Times change I guess. read more

The fact that I inhaled this beef and there was t any cheese on it, should tell ya everything you need to know. I've wanted to try this place for years and they didn't disappoint.

Food - 3/5 - In terms of the sandwich, I just thought there would be more to it .. it was pretty much beef on a bun. If there was some sauce, I think I'd like it a lot more, but for me, it was just a bit plain. Maybe others would love it... if you like simplicity, this might be for you! read more

Cash only! Johnnie's Beef is a classic Elmwood Park staple famous for their Italian beef and Italian ice. We drove and found the parking situation to be fairly challenging, so plan time accordingly and perhaps find parking while another person waits in line. The line was fairly long but goes by quickly as the workers in the back pump orders left and right like fast food but by no means the quality is like that - the food is quite delicious and affordable. We probably waited 10 minutes tops and the customer in front of me commented that this is not bad as sometimes he would wait over 30 minutes. We got the Italian beef with hot peppers, double sausage with sweet peppers, side of fries, and Italian ice (frozen lemonade slush). The Italian beef is dipped so it can get soggy quickly, so I highly recommend eating it on the spot! The hot peppers here were delicious as I generally don't like pickled stuff but they do it well here, pairing the other sandwich fixings well. There's a good amount of meat so even though it looks small, I felt fairly satisfied with half of a sandwich. The double sausage is good but a little burnt. I would focus on getting the Italian beef and skip the sausage items. Fries were okay but only a few bucks (I think it was $2 something). The Italian ice is refreshing for a hot Chicago summer and it was about $3 for 16oz (a smaller 8oz was 90 cents cheaper so we might as well just get the 16oz). There's a good number of tables outside but we opt to stand and eat in the small counter inside as we didn't want to deal with flies and bees and pretty much outside tables are almost all taken from people trying to take advantage of the nice Chicago weather that is fleeting. read more

Pretty good but rush you through line like the tv soup guy so if you're a newbie just get the juice on the side to dip. I didn't want soggy bread so then it was dry they should've suggested it I would've added it. Fries like mcd. More avg than I thought but good for the price the meal was $13 so it was cheap. I make it a bit better in my insta pot at home in ny and we have better Italian bread. Needs a seeded semolina roll and some provolone! I was in the area so it was convenient but I wouldn't sit in traffic to get there. The people dining were nice and shared their tables with others. Cash only and parking was tight. read more

Finally made it over to Johnnie's Beef after having it on my list for a while and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We went on a Sunday around 5:30 PM and I was honestly shocked at the line. It was out the door, but to their credit, it moved fast. From the moment we joined the line to when we got our food, it was only about 20 minutes. Once you order, your food is in your hands in like 30 seconds, they're pros in there. We grabbed a table outside (despite the crowd, there's a good amount of outdoor seating), and I went with the classic: Italian beef, wet and dipped, with hot peppers. We also split a bag of fries, which was only $2.25, huge value. I got a drink too, and my whole order came out to just $12. That's wild, especially when you compare it to downtown prices. It honestly felt like a steal. As for the food, incredible. The Italian beef was probably the best I've had. The bread held up perfectly even though it was drenched (in the best way), and the hot peppers added a solid kick without overwhelming the flavor. It's a simple sandwich, but Johnnie's does it perfectly. The fries also deserve a shoutout. They tasted almost exactly like McDonald's fries, crispy, salty and nostalgic, but somehow even better. All in all, Johnnie's is absolutely worth the trip. It has that old-school charm with food that hits every note. Not too far from the city and totally worth the line. Can't wait to go back. read more

First time trying this well known spot as an out of towner. The beef sandwich was soaking wet and difficult to eat as expected. Good portion of beef. Spicy peppers had good heat, so beware. Overall it was pretty tasty but needed "something" to put it at the top. maybe I was looking for more salt / beefy flavor in the au jus. Maybe it's cause I'm more accustomed to French dip style and less soggy mush I'd be happy to come back and try again read more

Yikes, it was 1:30pm on a Friday and there was a pretty long line stretching to the back of the store!  Based on previous experience, it likely moved pretty quick but I was only interested this time in picking up a gift certificate for someone whom I knew would enjoy. Letting folks know I just had a question to ask, I courteously stepped in front to the counter and the busy but cordial manager Jesus confirmed that they had $10 gift certificates and also said no need for me to get in the long line.    He took care of me on this visit with two $10 certificates and I was very appreciative.  Yaay for Johnnie's!, and next time I will stay for one of their tip-top delicious Italian beefs! ps and pro-tip:  if you come to this relatively unassuming area at a Friday or weekend lunch time, be ready to search for a street or alleyway parking spot.  There are quite a few eateries in the area and not really enough parking at peak times! read more

As soon as we landed in Chicago, the first place we wanted to eat was Johnnie's Beef. The mouthwatering, perfect Italian Sandwich truly sets the tone for the entire trip. We enjoyed it so much, we went back on our last day to grab a sandwich or two for our flight back to Houston. The counter guy could've been a little more accommodating. We expressed that we had a flight to catch and asked if he could wrap/make it to where we can take with us. "No, keep it moving" and serviced the next person in line. Come on' now, a little southern hospitality ain't gonna hurt ya. We enjoyed our soaked through the bag Italian sandwich and charbroiled sausages as soon as we got home. I wasn't even upset because that first bite literally took us right back to Chicago when we stood in line at Johnnie's anxiously waiting for our sandwich. What a feeling! read more

This place is definitely a Chicago area must. On this visit I went with both Giardiniera and sweet peppers on my beef which is overkill and makes for a crowded sandwich. But somehow they pulled it off - without skimping on the beef, the peppers, or the juice. It was fantastic! The fun part is that the food hasn't changed since I ate here regularly (due to working nearby) back in the 70s. I'm not sure how many times ownership may have changed, if at all, but the time intensive preparation of the beef has obviously not changed. To me this is THE place for Italian beef. It melts in your mouth. The chocolate shake was rich and delicious as well. read more

Hands down my favorite place to come and get a beef. I live about 45 mins and still every Saturday after Thanksgiving I will drive here to get it. Something about a hot beef on a winter day hits harder. You can get you beef wet or dry. I prefer to get it dry and get a cup of the au jus on the side. Extra hot peppers for me. If you want your sandwich dry make sure and say dry otherwise they will dip every sandwich. Parking can be tricky when busy and you will probably have to wait in line outside but its worth the wait! The best beef in Chicago by far. read more
