There was a large group of us and we were able to put enough tables together which was nice. Beef and cheddar is my go to and the fries are a favourite as well. They were fresh and hot - perfecto! Our group were very happy with their selections. Mainly beef sandwiches but a couple of hot dogs as well. Clean dining room and friendly staff. What more could you ask for!

Non-native Review:…read more Busy sandwich & fast food Chicago institution. We were taken here by natives who say the joint is famous for their Chicago beef & hoagie sandwiches. The interior of this location is decorated pretty cool with old movies posters hanging from the rafters. Hungry 4 of us (3 non-locals) ordered a good sampling for our first visit & meal of the day: Salads, hot dogs, hoagie combos, drinks. Either the cashier or food preppers goofed our order a bit, but it wasn't a terrible inconvenience. One newby in our party aptly remarked that the meal combos aren't really combos per se, because you then have to specify the size of the individual combo items (such as the fries) after ordering the large (or small) combo for example. Salads also come out from a different sub-section of the restaurant. Little non-standard and confusing there for 1st-timers. The beef dip was good as advertised, pretty standard fare, but nothing about the meal or quality of such considered life changing. French fries were very unremarkable. Easy ordering kiosks or you can order at the counter like we did. With so many dog-gone dining options around these parts, not sure it would be a regular pit stop for myself if I were a local. Fair pricing board, good deal, average-y. Peace out.

This isn't my first rodeo @ Johnnies Beef & it certainly will not be my last because when you find an outstanding beef it's definitely worth going back to over & over again & at time treat an out of town guest to one of the best Chicago has to offer.

This restaurant was a good find for me. I checked it out for the first time and had a good…read moreexperience. I was in the area and in the mood for burger and fries. Upon looking up Big Sammy's on Yelp, it seemed like an ideal choice. After my arrival to the restaurant, I took my time deciding (even though I was in the mood for a burger) as they have a big menu with lots a good variety to choose from. I decided to order a hamburger with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and ketchup; a cheeseburger with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, and mustard; six mango habañero wings, and small order of French fries. My ordered was prepared fresh. The fries and the wings were hot off the fryer and the burgers were freshly char-grilled. All the food tasted good. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the way I prefer. The wings were meaty and crispy with a sweet and spicy flavor. The char-grilled were cooked properly and were quite delicious. They hit the spot. My meal was exactly like how I expected. I liked this establishment for their menu variety, overall pricing, and good service. The restaurant was nice, clean, well-lit, and spacious. Check them out. I'll be back for more.

We were in the area and wanted some Chicago Hot Dogs and this spot was bookmarked. Small spot with…read morepatio seating only and very limited parking. We parked on the street around the corner. They had a long line a little after 1 on a Friday afternoon. Took about 45 minutes to get to the order counter so would definitely call ahead although maybe the wait is part of the experience. I was talking to a group in front of me that recommended the Char Pup so ordered a Char Jumbo Dog and a double Pup. Also ordered a 1/3 pound Char Merkt cheddar Burger. For toppings, we got everything and grilled onions on the Red Hots and both were excellent! Some of the best we've had. The surprise was the Burger (which we saw was highly rated). It had that flame grilled tasty beef and we got it with everything and grilled onions also-simple. delicious Burger and just the right size. They also have Italian Beef as well Italian and Polish sausage. Service at the counter was friendly and quick-food was ready about 15 minutes after ordering. A Triple D favorite that lives up to the hype!

This place is listed in some lists as the best burger joint in Illinois. It's really solid. And the shakes are very good, too. They do crinkly fries, in case that's your jam. I enjoyed the flavor of the burger, although I do wish there were more pickles. :-) We had to wait for a table outside, and it was a little bit chilly, but overall I felt it was worth it.

Here are the things that take RRH to the top of my list: 1. Convenient drive through service. You don't need to exit your vehicle to eat there. 2. They will char your dog on the flat top grill they use for the it grilled onions for the Maxwell St. polish. 3. 4 mini supreme tamales instead of one large tamale. Same amount by weight, a lot easier to eat while on the road! 4. And the thing that really sells it for me-the hand cut fries are cooked in BEEF TALLOW! The next two are either positives or negatives, depending on your POV. I've never used these options, but: 5. They accept credit cards, albeit for a 3% surcharge 6. Ketchup is available BY REQUEST ONLY! I have a feeling you will get shamed if you have the palate of an eight year old and ask for it on you dog, and there are squirt bottles available if you eat on sit and wish to dip your fries, although they are so good plain, "red mustard" as one social media presenter calls ketchup, is not needed.

A chocolate cone as a treat, and sometimes a shake. They are always super nice and fast! The food is fresh and made to order. There's lots of seating inside and outside. And, it's always sparkling clean! CharDog-This hotdog is absolutely perfect! I savor every last bite of it. It's a Vienna Beef hotdog. So, it's the real deal. It's not the traditional Chicago dog. So, don't expect that. This hotdog is juicy, smokey, and charred with a bold beef flavor. Loaded with mustard, sports peppers, relish, and onions. On a nice plush bun. I personally get it without onions. And, it's heavenly! Chocolate Cone-If you're in the mood for a creamy, dreamy, and delicious cone. Then, make sure to get this! The chocolate is nutty and bold. I love this tasty treat. It brings me so much joy! I every now and then will treat myself to this family sized cone. And, I happily finish every last lick of this. So, next time you see Rand Red Hots. Make sure to stop here! You won't regret it!
