I've driven past this place many times on Fullerton and finally decided to stop in after always seeing a steady flow of people coming in and out. The location is clean and well-kept, which is always a good sign. They offer standard quick-bite options like burgers, hot dogs, and wings, along with milkshakes and soft-serve ice cream. It's nothing overly fancy, but it hits the spot if you're looking for something simple and satisfying. Overall, it's a solid choice if you need a quick bite--whether you're grabbing something to go or dining in. read more

I love their rib tip dinner. My wife's and I love the chicken parm dinner and the burgers are really good . The pizza is good as well.

This is an updated review. Along with the other items previously recommended, I would also recommend the mostaccioli with meatballs, their super taco and cheese fries. All of these were good and I would definitely order again. read more

Their food is elite! Today I went in and got a beef and fry combo with hot peppers. My husband had the a gyro plate with rice. Everything was fresh and delicious. The portions were huge so good. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Best beef and gyro in Chicago for sure. Love everything from here. If you haven't had Marco's yet-what are you doing? Order it immediately. read more

I visited this place recently as I saw it recommended on Tik Tok. The sandwich was good. However, the service I received from what appeared to be a manager was rude & unacceptable. His tone with me was unnecessary, he was calling out numbers and looked at me as if I couldn't comprehend what he was saying. He then stated what was in the order and I told him that wasn't my order, I didn't order cheese fries. He then requested to see my receipt, when I handed it to him he looked at it and slammed it on the counter. I looked at him in disgust as I handed you my receipt the least you could have done was handed it back to me. I would have given a higher rate however the rudeness from him made it very difficult to even give 3 stars. He needs anger management and customer service classes. I wasn't to only person he was rude to however I can only speak for myself. Date of visit: 10/04/2025 Time: 8:30-9:00P read more

Beef dipped & hot, chili fries w/ a side of hot sauce. Tailgated in The park down the street. Grew up w/Dukes beef on the SS, a block away from my grandparents house. I have high standards,by default. Marco's beef on its own is... the perfect slice thickness! Seasoning,I would stick with that. It's,it's damm near perfect! The gardinara was a really nice blend, mild. Appreciated the healthy amount of celery in the mix. That,and there was the particularly of the thinly sliced pieces of carrot, nice combo in a mild hot mix. I'm a shoestring fry guy with a beef. But I love a good chilli! After the mild test introduction to their chill, I'm definitely going to get a solo portion of that next visit . Mr. Ridiculous was here. read more

I've been coming here since high school possibly before that and they have remained consistent, a neighborhood staple! They have many items that are great but my absolute favorite is an Italian beef, hot peppers wet & extra dipped...delicious! The broasted chicken is a treat and is always perfectly cooked. Gyros are yummy! Thanks for all the great meals and the many more to come! read more

I had gyro with fries, my friends had burgers and fries. Food was perfect, so good. After we sat down, we looked at the wall and noticed they're known for their Italian beefs so we'll go back again to try that. Only negative is no bathroom, which sucks because always like to wash my hands before eating read more

This is one of the best beefs I've ever had in Chicago. Good service. The beef is fantastic. Peppers are great definitely better than 80% of the beefs in the city! I recommend for you to come and try a beef. You will not be disappointed. read more

Every single time I have been in the place the staff and food have been amazing. When people bitch and complain about them, maybe they don't stop to reflect on themselves and know they are being douchecanoes to them, yet expect the staff to still treat them exceptionally. Expectations are too high and you seem entitled. Delusion land. But anywho, this restaurant is awesome. Broasted chicken is so good! BBQ sauce is more like mild sauce for you Chicagoans who know...you know...FIYA! Never had a bad experience or food from here in 20+ years. Love you girls and guys! Keep up the great work. read more

I kept hearing about this place, and so excited I finally got to try it. The price is very reasonable and they have lots of different options (beef, wings, hot dogs, pizza). The Italian beef and Italian sausage were yummy - make sure you get them dipped! The fries were not very seasoned, so I would not get them next time. The staff was very patient and were getting orders out quickly. You can eat in or take it home. read more

Very good food, delicious options and fast service. The chicken kabob dinner is very good quality and delicious.

Thr food is great as always. What did it for me was the Dude that took my order over the phone. As he's trying to tell me. Next time for future orders just say Give me 3 beef specials dry with hot peppers and one with sweet. Which i was trying to do. But if he wouldn't have put me on hold twice as I was trying to give him my order. He kept saying two beef specials dipped!! Like dude YOU made it complicated trying to multitask which you should not do if you're on the phone with anyone. Just concentrate on that customer. You have plenty of other workers there to not have the need to be on the phone taking orders and talking to someone at the place. Marco's is not a place with cheap prices. Have someone else handle the floor. When I arrived, I think its extremely rude on how he talked to the young kid taking orders. Telling him in a NOT SO Kind way Come on go call the next customer really loud and rude to the kid. He looked mortified. Clearly he was still new. But that kind of disrespect is just uncalled for. It wasn't necessary to talk to that guy that way. I don't know the name of the guy that took my order buy he was a tall bulky dude. Marco's had really sweet people working there. Now it just seems a hot mess. Pay attention to how managers treat staff and clients over the phone. He doesn't know the kind of day A person had to be giving advice on how to place an order when I was already giving him what I wanted and he just kept saying what he wanted. If he's having a bad day put him somewhere else for the night. read more

We came here for a quick bite. I hate these beef places that have these slices of pizza on display. Because I only came for a beef and the damn slices look so good just staring at me. So I couldn't resist and ordered a sausage slice as well. This place gets pretty busy with a lot of pick up orders as well as grub hub and all that other crap. I waited longer than I would have liked to, but it really wasn't all that bad. I ordered my beef with hot peppers and dipped. The only way it should be ordered if I'm being honest..I'm only kidding. The beef was packed with flavor. Just the right amount of seasoning and they filled the bread up pretty well. The hot peppers were also perfect. Just the perfect amount and right amount of spice. One of the best needs served in the city. We also ordered cheese fries. They serve crinkle fries and then topped with the cheese. I prefer my cheese on the side so I can dip it but then again you get more cheese when they just pour it on top like how they did. The sausage pizza slice was pretty good, just not sure if I would order it again. We also ordered a hot dog but it wasn't all that great. The beef is where it's at here. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been faithful to Marco's for almost 40 years. They have the best italian beef! Period! Lol

Really wanted to try this place and was going to order it using Uber Eats. Then I saw their prices. Everything is about 30% more expensive for delivery than if you get it in store. Italian Beef $7.50 vs $9.75 Gyros $7.95 vs $10.40 Pizza Puff $4.95 vs $6.95 They really don't want people to order delivery apparently. Or maybe they think people aren't paying attention. Regardless, I deleted my order and got the same stuff at my usual place for far less. read more

I grew up eating Marco's beef and it was always a great time. I took a trip down memory lane and ventured out to Marcos beef to see if it still tasted the same and to my surprise they did! They still have friendly staff and the beefs are seriously the best I've ever had in my life. From now on, whenever someone visits me from out of town, I'm taking them here to try Chicago's best Italian beef. Thank you for the consistency in this ever changing world, Marcos! read more

I had heard good things about this place, so when an intended stop at Mr. D's was denied when they were closed, a run to Marco's seemed like a good option. Drove up and walked in around 4:30 - a few cars in the lot and occasional customers coming in. I placed an order for a combo with fries. $11 total plus you get a small beverage. Fair price as the city goes. The staff working the place was great - polite, positive and pleasant. I was asked if I wanted it juicy - no, I prefer it with just a little juice - maybe just what the beef offers up. So I got home - the beef was good, but the sandwich was really too wet - falling apart in my hands. Sausage was average - not a ton of flavor, but the beef was quite tasty. And the portion was a healthy one. Overall, I'd go back - not quite the build up that I had heard about but definitely a good beef stand. Plus the people were good and teh service was fast. Thumbs up to Marco's. read more

Rosa J.'s quest on finding the best Italian beef sandwich continued after a trip to the nearby Unique Thrift Store. I found Marco's via my trusty pillow-mate, the yelp app. (I have to yelp before I go to sleep, each and everyday)! There's a plenty of parking for customers. They do accept credit cards. Yes, it's slightly pricer for the Belmont Central neighborhood standard. However, I don't think the price for the Italian beef sandwich was ridiculous at all. For $0.50 more, you will get a small fountain pop and fries. Of course, there's an extra charge for adding sweet or hot peppers: $0.50 in addition. If you frequent one of those neighborhood hotdog and sandwich joints, they typically charge $0.50 to $0.75 for that extra add-on. With that being said, it's a little more than $8 for the entire meal. Hubby also had a slice of cheese pizza ($2.40). Well, because he wasn't hungry, he went with this option. I personally would order something else other than that expensive slice of pizza. I think Marco's Italian beef sandwich had one of the juiciest beef I've had. However, it was very messy to eat because they really "immersed" that sandwich like a baptism! Anyways, the au jus was delicious. The fries, on the other hand, were alright. If you're a fan of crinkled fries, then you will have a better praise on those fries. I think it was worth the trip to explore Marco's. This place didn't, indeed, disappoint me. read more

New to the neighborhood and have always passed by this place many times. Finally decided to give it a go yesterday as I was craving a gyros. I had read the reviews of the gyros on here and they lived up to the hype and more. Meat was perfectly seasoned , pita had a nice flavor, a huge basket of fries to go along with it. Staff was super friendly and helpful and the food came out very quick. Wife had a hot dog meal and she loved it as well. Would recommend if your having a craving for gyros/Italian beef/ hot dog. Not too pricey and good food provided by friendly staff. read more

Neighborhood spot with good Italian Beef and Sausage sandwiches The hot giardenera is excellent.. so are the sweet peppers. The problem is that Post Covid.. prices went up dramatically and the size of the Sandwich decreased by 20%.Most of their competitors like Jay's and Mr Beef have a decent size sandwich.. at least 7" long and Marco's sandwich is more like 5"... just do not know why? Overall a decent place with decent food and service. read more
