Awesome breaded steak!!! Tons of good cheap food. Lots of Chicago's finest can be seen dining here at all hours. Guess that there are no doughnut shops around on the south side! LOL! Great place for greasy fill you up fast food. Pizza is great too. read more

I love their breaded steak sandwich and fries! Their onion rings are pretty good too. Their pizza is decent, but nothing special. I usually just order the breaded steak sandwich with fries and I'm happy! Their portion sizes are huge! read more

I hate to be that guy, but I don't understand how this place has four stars. Their Breaded Steak sandwich (seemingly their most popular item) is basic at best. It's ostensibly a meatball sandwich that's sure to give you some gut-wrenching if you're trying to do anything other than take a nap after eating here. The only thing stopping me from giving it one star is the EXTREMELY FRIENDLY staff. They were all super nice and the vibes of the restaurant were classic. read more

Did not enjoy this pizza, strange that it has a fairly high rating on average. There was nothing spectacular, the cheese seemed on the cheap side..not a quality cheese. The crust was not crisp or flavorful. read more

Such great service! Fast and yummy! I always order a breaded steak for my husband and I and they always get it on point!

Meh, the breaded steak sandwich here isn't as insanely huge as people make it out to be. Nor is it covered in the mountain of cheese about which so many here have complained. The regular size is just that -- regular. The king size is big, but you can wolf it down in one go if you're hungry and determined. Having visited here twice, I don't know if I'll return. After coughing up a small tip, it's hard to get out of here for less than $12-14. Ricobene's is not a great deal if you ask me. I'll try Punky's down the street some day to see if it's better value. read more

Breaded Steak with red Gravy. Excellent sandwich! Reminded me of a meatball sub. But I would definitely get it with the hot peppers.

I haven't been here in years and was reminded of their breaded steak sandwich the other day. It's HUGE, I don't know if I could finish one now but they are soooo good! Crunchy bread & the red sauce totally make it all come together. Definitely grabbing one during my next trip home!!! read more

The pizza was very good overall, but they charged me double and made me jump through hoops just to get my money back. I work for a charity and needed 3 pizzas, I put a 20% tip on my card, when the delivery guy arrived, he said there was no tip on the bill. So, I gave him a $10 tip because I was in a hurry. They charged me two times on my debit card. The restaurant told me to call corporate, corporate told me to call back the restaurant and to call my bank to get my money back, and Ricobene's was not helpful at all and even seemed annoyed when I was trying to work with them. I will not eat at Ricobene's again or risk any of my charity's funds with them again. Thankfully I used my own card instead of the agency's credit card. read more

So I ordered the chicken wings with barbecue sauce and let's just say I got what I asked for with extra feathers. How disgust. Felt like the kitchen staff just butchered a chicken and fried it (without plucking the feathers) and threw barbecue sauce and served it to me..it was so bad that I just threw it away. Last time I order from this place read more

We ordered Ricobene's online. They messed up the whole order. When I called to complain, the woman was unresponsive. We got our food two hours later. It was cold and smelled awful. The food was on par with low grade dog food. I will never order from there again. read more

For those of you who never venture away from the North Side, you're missing out on a gem of a pizzeria. As far as pizza goes, there are plenty up in these parts, but this is the South Side's quintessential. The pizza (all three weights) is outstanding, and is available by the slice if you can't eat a whole one, and the Bridgeport specialty 'The Breaded Steak' was born here on 26th Street. Not to mention (and this is for those of you who are a little timid of leaving the 'safety' of Lincoln Park and Bucktown), half the 9th District CPD seems to be in here at any given time, so you'll be more than safe while you house an outstanding pizza, a Breaded Steak or Chicken Vesuvio sandwich while you admire the walls full of autographed pictures from every famous face in Chicago that's eaten here (including those of "Hizonnor" as well as his dad Richard J!) read more

Went here about a week later after a horrible experience at Connie's Pizza. Waaaaaaaay better experience here than there. This place is fast and cheap and has great atmosphere. Girls behind the counter could be a little more polite but that's about the only thing I can say bad about them. If you're looking for pizza after a Sox game or anytime for that matter, stay away from Connie's and come here. They're the bomb!!!! read more

Amazing breaded steak and custard ice cream. Great place for a quick bite and plenty of seating. Welcoming environment. You know it's good when the local cops are always here eating! Plenty of parking as well. read more

AMAZING! What more could be said? Everything is great!! Always leave stuffed and satisfied.

Chose this place over another because of the 4-star Yelp review but I was sadly disappointed. The pizza wasn't very warm, took a long time to get to our hotel and the crust was super tough and hard to eat. I honestly only ate it because I was starving and because we paid over 20 bucks for it. Again... very disappointing! read more

Aside from the steak sandwich I wanted to also try something I haven't tried, the wings. I will not order them again. They are fatty, soggy and drenched in bitter hot wing sauce. The steak sandwich is always my go to option. It's big enough to split with someone and the fries are great! I don't come here a lot so once in a while it's a nice treat! read more

My favorite neighborhood italian, unhealthy, tasty food place. I think they cut their own fries, have an amazin vesuvio, and not to mention pretty great pizza. Their lasagna pizza really tastes like a lasagna. They also have a unique tasting hot wings dinner, and nothing really hits the spot like Ricobene's hot wings. Love this place. read more

Best way to clog your arteries in Bridgeport... you gotta try the Chicken Vesuvio Sandwich - deep fried chicken breast served on garlic bread with mayo and mozzarella. A heart attack on a bun! read more

... it's Ricobene's. Everybody on the south side knows Ricobene's. I remember when they had a multitude of locations when I was a kid, so of course a trip was in order when I was back around the Museum of Science and Industry. Single slice of pizza hit the spot without breaking the bank. Parking is plentiful across the street in a private lot under the expressway, in contrast to a lot of comparable eateries, though I can see how it'd be tough to get here via public transit. read more

Have been going here since I was a kid. I cannot get enough of the breaded steak sandwich and if you haven't had it you're definitely missing out. Especially try the breaded steak pizza and rib tips yummm read more

I live in the north suburbs and Ricobene's was recommended to me by a friend who comes in from Indiana... and let me tell you, they didn't disappoint! Brought a King Breaded Steak and King Chicken Parm, along with well-done fries (based on someone else's review) and it was enough to feed 3 adults. Everything was as good as they say. We will most definitely be back. read more

Bring your appetite- it only takes minutes when you park conveniently across the street and order your breaded steak sandwich with sweet and hot peppers and fresh cut fries will already be making it to your tummy! Can't go wrong! read more

I can't get into the breaded steak sandwich, but there's a lot to choose from anyway. I love the Italian Ice in the summer, the hot dogs are great, and pizza is sold by the slice. The service is always friendly and the food is always fast. read more

For the life of me I don't understand why people like their food. The breaded steak is awful as is most everything in there.

Ricobenes is great!! Love the beef here. Never get sick of the food here. Way better than portillos. This is great place for u to eat if u r from out of town. read more

Ricobenes is the shit! I recommend breaded steak or Chicken Vasuvio sandwiches! Don't forget the fries! Mmm Mmm good!

Love ricobene's, if I'm in the mood for some Italian fast food, this is where I go. I tried their steak sandwich and it was great. The portions are huge here, one order of hot wings will be enough for 2. They have lots of seating, Clean and spacious plus they are always opened late. read more

Chicago staple, 'nuff said. The breaded steak is consistent on its quality. The sauce is on the heavy side so if that's not your thing, you may not like this place. I don't eat heavy food like this on a consistent basis but it surely his the spot when I get the craving! read more

my favorite pizza ever! the corn bread crust is aaaamaaazzingg on both the deep dish and pan pizza. the deep dish is well worth the wait but if you are starving the regular pizza is delish too! i usually order and pick-up to go and the pizza has always been ready by the time i get there. i've eaten in once and the individual slices of pizza are good too! :) p.s. they usually have coupons on their website too! read more

I'll admit that I only went to Ricobene's because of great yelp reviews. But once there, I quickly became a fan. I had their vegeterian deep dish with jalapeno poppers & fries for my family. Note: the deep dish pizza will take 45-50 minutes to make, but its totally worth the wait. The seating was of your own choosing and they have FREE PARKING!! That was amazing to me for chicago. The service was good. I understand the need to keep cost cheap, but maybe have the food served in plastic trays with paper plates for Dine-In guests. They call your name and you pick up your food the same way as a carry-out, and then you have to ask for plates, and utensils. read more

This is place is old school at its finest. Very clean inside! We tried both the fried steak sandwich and the eggplant sandwich. Very good! I will be back with friends and try the fries too.A must to go place for a very good sandwich. It only gets 4 starts because its not what I call the WOW factor! But still very good. read more

Ricobene's has never let me down, though I can't get myself to order anything other than the breaded steak sandwich because it's so ridiculously good; it is every bit as excellent as most people on here say it is. I'd recommend ordering it with both sweet and hot peppers and mozz cheese and regular sauce (not extra, since there's plenty on it normally and it can be the messiest part of an already messy sandwich) on garlic bread. I also really like their chocolate shake. A regular steak sandwich is quite a bit of food even if you're very hungry. I would say the king size is really good for when you want to have it for leftovers the next day. It recently was called the best sandwich in America by a well-traveled food reviewer from USA Today, who apparently loves all things sandwich. I don't know if I'd go that far, but it certainly has to be a contender for such a title. read more

So much food! Quick service and reasonable pricing. You have to try the breaded steak sandwich, loved it.

The breaded steak is perfection. The place is really nice inside and there always cops eating there so you're safe once you're inside. Going outside, though, watch your @ss because it's a bad neighborhood! Order for delivery and you should be fine :D read more

Don't be an effin Mook...Stop in, get a sangwich and a seat by the window...Maybe you'll see a Daley!

Ricobene's is definitely a neighborhood spot. Great breaded steak and pizza! The place really isn't consistent though in my opinion. The food can be AMAZING or just good depending on what time you go (who's in the kitchen). You may get fries that are so salty that it's almost like the top was unscrewed on the shaker. The parking lot across the street is kind of creepy and makes you feel like you're in a Grand Theft Auto game. The place does get overwhelmingly busy so your order may not be 100% correct or they may forget something The employees never really have a smile on their face and you can definitely tell who the big shot bosses are due to them just standing around while the common employee work their butt off. Inconsistent again in deliveries and pick up orders because your info may be lost in the void. The effort is there from the employees but you can just tell that reoccurring problems happen. I'll stop by here every now and then but Ricobene's isn't as great as I remember it. Dropping the ball fellas! Please smile more you're running a restaurant not a prison read more

Fries well done, hot wings, spinach & mushroom pizza slice, thin crust pizza, eggplant parmigiano. I've been coming here since I was a little girl and it's still awesome! read more

Breaded steak sandwich here is solid. Can't really beat it. Heard the buffalo chicken sandwich is on point as well. Check it out if you are in the south side neighborhood in Chicago. read more

"We might just get hit with the RICO" Drake says. Not sure if he's ever been here but man does that breaded steak sandwich hit hard. No frills place, delicious food, huge portions, amazing prices. Give it a try if you're in the area. read more
