    Came here for the AYCE Crawfish boil! This was my first ever crawfish boil which seems like a sin as I'm from Texas! I think it was worth the money BUT they only refill the crawfish and not the potatoes, sausage and corn which was disappointing! You do have the option of adding some for an extra price of course! The inside was cute and coastal! Very Florida! I loved the garlic butter sauce they had, it was mild and perfect! Service was a little slow I feel like we had to flag down our actual waitress some, but the men cleaning up the shells were quick as ever!!! Overall I would come back

    Insanely good seafood boil. I came in with high expectations and hope because it is one of my friends faves and I was not disappointed. The wait staff was prompt, attentive and kind. Our food came out STEAMING at the perfect temperature. This is one of these meals that when you start eating you wont put your hands down until it's done. The seasoning was flavorful and the food was cooked to perfection. The restaurant wasn't too busy - as i understand this is a popular take out spot. Nevertheless this makes for great conversation and easy seating. Looking forward to going back already.

    I was upset that they don't serve crawfish no more :/ $$$ pricey for a sea food place by the lake.

    Great service. The food was great. Awesome vibe. Everyone is very attentive. We ordered fried scallops for the appetizer which were delicious. Then the 3 course dinner. For starters we had the clam chowder and calamari and both were great. For the main we got the king card and the seafood boil bag. For chocolate mousse cake and tiramisu. Everything was 10 out of 10. Price was great. Highly recommend. We will be retuning

    Very quaint place. My friend and I sat at the bar. Kejtlin was our server and she was super nice and able to make recommendations. It seemed as if everyone assisted each other with their tables with no questions asked. They have so many specials and shareable plates. You can't go wrong with eating here. My friend and I both got specials that can be shared. The combos come with an appetizer and glass of wine of your choice. So you really get your monies worth. I really enjoyed the seafood especially with the hot chili dipping sauce. I had my steak cooked med well. It was tender but there was no flavor. It just tasted like the grill to me. So next time I may just get all seafood or ask them to make sure to place salt.on my steak prior to cooking it. I usually don't require steak sauce for a well cooked steak and I needed it.

    Food is top notch. It was hard to choose what to get so we ordered calamari, crab cakes, fried shrimp, oysters , crab boil and the ribeye with king crab. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection. The crab was so good- the pieces were huge and so delicious. It's expensive but worth the price for some or the best seafood we've ever eaten.

    Omg this place was amazing! Customer service was very good, my waitress Maria was very kind and sweet. Oysters were really decent. The place closes at 10:40 I came around 9:40 the workers were so kind. Me and my family all ordered the three course dinner which came with an appetizer main course and dessert for only $45! The main course was Alaskan crab legs and came with 3-4 big clusters. They had so many things to choose from on the menu. I would definitely recommend coming here and I will be coming back! 10/10 from me!

    First time in Chicago so I had to try the national sandwich of Chicago! Al's beef has been serving…read moreup Italian Beef sandwiches since 1938. They have won several awards for their sandwiches and are said to have the best Italian Beef in Chicago. With all this being said, this was certainly a must eat on my trip! Their menu consists of their famous Italian beef, along with Chicago dogs, burgers, sausage sandwiches, chicken, and fries. There is definitely something for everyone here. The inside is casual and reminiscent of a fast food eatery. Really liked the yellow accents throughout the restaurant. I will also note that it was extremely clean inside, which is always appreciated. Ordering is simple and they will call your ticket number when your food is ready. All the food is served made to order and very fresh and doesn't take too long to come out! I ordered the Regular Beef, wet, with both hot and spicy peppers per the workers suggestion. Ordering the sandwich wet simply means the bread is dunked in the gravy/aus jus. If you want the real deal, this is how you order it. The peppers are optional as well, but complete the sandwich. The sandwich consists of their famous Italian beef roasted and sliced, served on freshly baked French bread. I can see why this sandwich is so highly regarded. The Italian beef that is made in house each day is tender, flavorful, and just perfect! It isn't chewy or tough either. The sweet and spicy peppers paired nicely with the savory beef. And the fresh French bread covered in the gravy--phenomenal! The gravy adds a lot of flavor to the sandwich. You do have to eat it quickly, otherwise the bread will fall apart, oh but it is so worth it. I got fries with a side of cheese sauce to go with the sandwich. By far some of the best fries I've had. Not super crispy, but not soggy either, the texture was just right. They were salted perfectly and dipping them in their velvety cheese sauce was a treat! A regular sub is roughly 6 inches and quite filling. The sandwiches are stuffed with ample amounts of beef. The price is also excellent considering how much you get. Overall, I would say Al's Beef lived up to all its praise. My sandwich was very memorable and was like nothing I'd had before. Everything is so fresh, between their beef, bread, and fries, it is all made in house. This isn't just some fast food spot, it is an institution. I was impressed with everything I ordered, especially the fries. They take a lot of pride in what they serve. This is evident in their customer service. If you are visiting Chicago, don't think, just go--you won't regret it!

Kinda skimpy on the fixings on the Chicago dog, but still gets the job done if you're craving a Chicago dog. Fries are the type that are greasy to the touch; not my fave style of fries but I know it's a well-liked one to others. Super friendly lady at the cashier (all smiles, patient, and offered menu help)! Also fast service (got my order within a few minutes). I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was very chill here (also shoutout to the early 2000's era music playing :p it was a vibe). Overall I'd say it's not a bad food spot at all if you want a quick bite and want to be a little away from the Magnificent Mile crowds.

Food reviews: Truffle and mushroom tavern--light and well balanced. Delicate sweet notes from the red onion balance out the earthiness of the mushroom, truffle and charred crust. Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor. Heavier of the two pies since it had more cheese on it but my husband enjoyed Chocolate peanut butter sundae--birthday celebration treat brought by our server! Wow it's a must order. The puppy chow was an insanely smart ingredient to add for texture and bit of chocolate. Can't wait to return to try another specialty pie!

The atmosphere, history, and overall hype surrounding it definitely add to the experience. However, in my personal opinion, the ambience and reputation outweighed the actual quality of the food!

The cashier helping me was friendly enough to let me sample their spicy chipotle-style sauce/spread that comes with the chicken sandwich, and honestly, that sauce was delicious. That said, I have to admit the hot dog itself was pretty underwhelming. I know Chicago-style hot dogs are iconic, but I personally felt like I've had better-tasting hot dogs from a Dodger Dog or even Costco. The relish here tasted oddly artificial to me -- almost like a strange paste consistency that I just couldn't get into. Maybe it's just my Los Angeles taste buds talking, but honestly, some of the best hot dogs I've had are from the street vendors off Hollywood Boulevard with the grilled onions, bell peppers, mustard, mayo, ketchup... you know exactly the kind I'm talking about!! Overall, I'd still recommend trying this place at least once simply because it's such a well-known Chicago institution, but for me personally, the food didn't fully live up to the hype.....
