    Italian Beef burger
    Julisa W.

    Maaaaaan! This was such a treat to randomly find! The guys cooking were singing, smiling, having a good time! It made me happy just watching them. You can taste the love they have for what they do. I wanted something with Italian beef and they suggested the burger with the beef on it. Super tasty! The fries were realllll fries and came with a zesty sauce we really enjoyed. Okay but. The spicy chicken po boy is what my partner got. IT WAS SO FRIGGIN AMAZING! Best chicken po boy I've ever had and she agreed. We were starving and took it all to go but ate the sandwich in the car because we could not NOT scarf it down right away. We also got a cookie but it was so good I didn't take a pic and don't remember what kind it was. The restaurant is pretty hole in the wall ambiance wise but looked extremely clean which I always appreciate. If we are ever near I would consider going back!

    If you are looking for an Italian beef sandwich, this is not the place to go. I probably wouldn't bother cooking here for anything else either. It's a pretty standard greasy hot dog/burger shop. The beef was tasteless and low quality. The juice was way too much (there was a swimming pool of juice in my dish) and the bread was not crusty. Avoid.

    Chicago Style Hot Dog & Fresh Cut Fries

    First time at Slim's and I'm already planning my next visit for their Italian beef! The staff was super welcoming and friendly. I got the Chicago style hot dog with fresh cut fries (amazing deal, it even came with a drink!), and everything was fully loaded and delicious! Highly recommend!

    A small fast food spot. With all of the core items and their own creations. The cashier is super nice and friendly. Able to help me pick a great item here. Got the slim burger, which is Italian beef meat on the burger. It's very satisfying and meaty. The only thing is that the menus doesn't list the price. There is a footernote on the menu saying to go online to find real-time price. Pretty annoy if you are trying to figure out how much you want to spend.

    Expert service. The food is filling and comforting. I recommend the burgers, the chilli cheese fries, and always get the shakes, especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor. The restaurant has a big enough space to dine in comfortably.

    I don't know about the rest of their food but the hot dog. Oh. My. Gawd!!! I wish I'd gotten two instead of just one!! The bun was so delicious, the pickle, the dog, everything was so well balanced until we meet again Chicago, I'll be dreaming of that hot dog lol

    Slim's is a great local, slightly above average, fast food option. They don't bother with those grey frozen burger patties found at many competitors. .. nothing but Creekstone Farms beef here! The prices reflect the fresh ingredients and upgrades like brioche buns. 3.39 overall. I tried to convince myself to generously round up considering the service and the never frozen burger patties, but. ..that wouldn't be fair to the other 4 star restaurants. I don't like their Chicken Strips, but they are popular. I find they lack seasoning and are chewy. Not worth a special trip, but absolutely check out if you live in the neighborhood. Open til 9pm.

    Definitely way over priced for a very mediocre 1/3 pound cheese burger. $8.99 for a burger really? Not coming back.

Hard to describe but you just know you're at a very important place but that doesn't take itself too seriously. There are burgers that are good, burgers that are great, and then there's Au Cheval. I went in with pretty ridiculous expectations considering this place has been called one of the best burger spots in the world...and somehow, the burger still delivered. That's rare. The patties were insanely juicy and perfectly cooked, with that beautiful crispy, caramelized edge you want from a great griddle burger. The combination of the melted cheese, creamy sauce, onions, pickles and that ridiculously buttery brioche bun was borderline unfair. Rich, messy, salty, savory and completely indulgent in the best possible way. And that bun deserves its own mention. Soft enough to absorb all that glorious burger juice without completely falling apart. The whole thing is constructed like someone actually understands what makes a burger great. Is it the best burger I've ever had? I DONT FUCKING KNOW. but I completely understand why people put Au Cheval in the conversation for best burger in America, if not the world. The hype is real. This is a fucking burger. 9.7/10

There is outdoor seating under a pergola lined with semi-private planters, while the inside features a bar, high tops, low tops, and large booths. The music was upbeat, giving the space an elevated lounge vibe that pairs really well with the upholstered booths and vintage industrial design. I ordered the Wolf Burger, which is a whopping three-patty burger. That first bite was juicy and pure bliss--a total explosion of great flavors. It was a little messy (like all burgers with an egg), but the extra liquid was perfect for balancing the density of such a meaty burger. The soft bun soaked in a lot of those juices with each bite, intensifying the flavor as I ate more. The fries were thin and on the greasier side--not my personal favorite, but they worked alright as a vehicle for the sauce. Speaking of which, the chili aioli served with the fries was fantastic. We also got the mac and cheese, which hit a great balance between rich and creamy without feeling excessively wet. The boat it came in was a bit small, making it a little messy to scoop out with the serving spoon, but it was soooo good. Overall, it is absolutely a fantastic neighborhood place for comfort food and drinks with friends in a great space!
