    Lupini P.

    First of all customer service top-notch I had the jumbo shrimp, fries, coleslaw, macaroni, salad, and potato salad all excellent and reasonably priced. It's a must try.

    A coworker put me on to this place. It puts me in the mind of Goose Island and Captain B's the food here is delicious with good service. It's a small takeout restaurant which I'm ok with that. I Will mostly return when I'm in the mood for seafood.

    Great customer service, I travel from the suburbs just to have my jumbo shrimp !! This place is a gem I recommend coming here food is always hot and fresh you will not be disappointed.

    ordered the jumbo shrimp, regular shrimp, and fried catfish.

    This establishment put you in the mind of Goose Island. The food very fresh and delicious. My husband ordered the jumbo shrimp, regular shrimp, and fried catfish. I'm sure the service was welcoming cause if not, we refuse to spend our money where we are tolerated, and not appreciated.

    Fantastic! This establishment has been open since May 2022 and I can't believe this is the first review! I stumbled upon their vendor tent at the Maxwell Street Market which is open on the weekends during the summer. I ordered the regular order which was $10 for 8 pieces. Note, they can't guarantee the exact number of pieces, could be more or less, as the shrimps are weighed before cooking. Anyway, the shrimps are cooked to order and let me tell you they are delicious! The regular sized shrimp order was plentiful, filling and much bigger than I thought they would be. The shrimp coating was crunchy with a nice balance of seafood seasoning. I've had some shrimp where the batter was so heavy you could barely find the shrimp, but this wasn't the case here. Now that I know about this eatery, I will be stopping by their vendor booth during the summer and the restaurant during the colder months.

    Ordered a combo juicy with sweet peppers. This order came with fries and a drink. The combo was…read morefull of beef and the Italian sausage had a great flavor. Juicy as I expected add that pepper in a bite and it was layered in flavor. Fries were hot and delicious. Service for my order was fast but I imagine depending on what you order being they cook fresh some items will be a minuet or two. Also I noticed police frequently eat there so it has to be good. As to parking I am a tad fussy as to spacing of parking space so I was not to thrilled about parking but that's me. Overall parking was available and the lot moved in out fast due to the speed of service. There are tables in the restaurant so you can sit in to eat. I enjoyed my experience and recommend Pete's in Oak Park. There is a second Pete's but have not stopped there. Which is funny I pass that Pete's 2 all the time when I am in the area.

    So I have to admit this was my first Chicago style hot dog... And I don't know why the rest of us…read morehave been doing it so boring. Putting a whole salad on a hot dog takes what could have been a guilty fast food meal and makes it feel fresh and dare I say, healthy? The peppers were such a great kick and the I also appreciated that the relish was NOT sweet! Both a pickle spear and dill relish on the same dog? Yes ma'am! My friend who grew up here had the protip of getting a cup of cheese for the fries, why not? I just ate so many veggies! We also got an Italian beef with sweet peppers to split. I have had Italian beef before, so this wasn't a new flavor, but it's been awhile, and when I tell you I didn't remember the beef being so flavorful. I think next time I would get it with hot peppers, but the sweets weren't bad. Get a lemon ice if it's warm out, it was smooth and tart and a great finish to a great meal to round out my Chicago trip!

    I don't live in the area, but I happened to be nearby and had to stop in and check this place out…read more I'm really glad I did. I ordered the chicken mac and cheese, and it was so good. I've ordered the no spice, medium, and hot, and every level was flavorful. Fair warning though, the hot is truly hot and definitely brings the heat in the best way. The hot was my favorite. I skipped the wings and sandwiches this time since they were a bit pricey compared to what I'm used to back home in the city, but honestly the chicken mac and cheese was more than enough to win me over. I would absolutely order it again without hesitation. There are also a few tables if you want to dine in, which is a nice bonus.

    Ordered online for a delayed pickup. I was slightly late due to traffic and the person at the…read morecounter did not seem amused that I was 'late' though they still have 2 hours that they're open (the only person losing was me with maybe slightly sad chicken?). However, I did pickup the food without incident. The mild chicken is HOT... if you want really mild you might have to pick no heat. However, chicken is delicious and not greasy and the toppings of my sandwich (pickles, slaw) were perfect. Pricewise, things are reasonable and while service was a smidge crabby today, on previous visits, they've been friendly. Small spot if you want to eat in. Worth a visit but try to be on time if you order for pickup!

    Johnnie's Beef has hands down the best Italian beef in Chicago! I wasn't sure what to expect. I…read morecame 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!

    Something's are just delicious in their own spicy way and that's exactly what I'm gonna say about…read morethat 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!
