The Beef Shack is a rapidly growing mini chain with seven locations and more on the way. The next…read moreopening appears to be in Algonquin, across from Mercy Hospital, next to Thorntons. The eatery specializes in the local favorite, Italian beef sandwiches, slow roasted thin sliced beef simmering in a rich au jus, nestled in a French roll. Those in the know ask for their sandwich "submerged" meaning the entire sandwich is dipped in the au jus before serving, which makes a wet but delicious sandwich. Some opt for the "combo" version, which includes a spicy grilled Italian sausage laying in a bed of the beef. That's some good eating. You can order yours topped with a blend of melted cheeses and if you like sweet or hot peppers. Some like to combine the peppers. Other offerings include traditional Chicago style hot dogs (mustard, relish, onions, celery salt, tomatoes, sport peppers, pickle), burgers, chicken sandwiches, Italian sausage, grilled cheese and fresh cut fries. which truly are, hot from the fryer and perfectly seasoned. Beef Shack is active on social media, and post daily specials on Facebook. During the course of a week, generally one day they offer $1 hot dogs, another day $5 burgers, one day $1 milkshakes, and other days discounted family sized meals. Check their FB posts for current deals. Friendly people, immaculate facilities, and freshly prepared food at a great price point. I love their Chicago dogs and fries. Great milk shakes, too.

The food is bold, smoky, and clearly made with care -- not rushed, not overthought, just done right. It's the best around, plain and simple. What really sets it apart, though, is the heart behind it. The owner is local, invested, and it shows in everything from the food to the atmosphere. There's a genuine sense that this place was built with pride -- and that kind of thing is hard to fake.

I wanted a brisket sandwich, but they only sell sliders. I'm not a fan of sliders, but it was served as one regular sandwich. I also ordered mac n cheese and cole slaw. The total was $23. After paying, the nice lady said that she could bring my order when it is ready because it was a little chilly outside. Lest than 10 minutes later my order was brought out to my car. The bag had some weight to it. I dug right in and ate right there in my car. I didn't care for the flavor of the brisket sandwich bread. However, the brisket flavor was phenomenal, so savory, and was tender as well. There was more salt than I preferred but not too much to ruin it. It's hard to find good bbq in this area, especially with me being from Texas. In contrast the mac n cheese needed a little help with some salt. Otherwise it hit the spot. The cole slaw tasted good and was more on the sweet side. The meal was far from perfect but I was satisfied.

He had been a customer all his life before moving to California, and my brother-in-law grew up on this place. We ordered the mixed meat plate, half rack of baby back ribs and the pulled pork sandwich, all with curly fries. My favorite meats were the fall-off-the-bone ribs and the brisket! Everything was lean and smoky. The plates came with a fresh bun, beans and coleslaw. They were not "wow" but delicious nonetheless. I liked the sauce so much that I bought some to bring home. The restaurant itself is super tiny and homey. Since we have our dogs, I got the order to-go while he waited at his family's place. Everything was packed nice and tight, resulting in zero leakage! Overall, I am not sure we will be back as we are only in town a couple days, but I definitely will keep it in rotation for future visits. Pros: - fair pricing - excellent quality meats (no smoke rings though) - beautiful date-night location (near a river!!) - decent amount of parking for a downtown area - cozy ambience - super friendly (a running theme in the Midwest) - unique, local craft sodas - sauce on the side for mix plate Cons: - ribs slightly over-sauced - stairs and ramp a tad steep to entrances - not in Oceanside :)

This…read moretime we parked in the handicapped spot and we're shocked to see that the front door is even with the parking lot. There is a small hill but you can push a wheelchair or walk with a walker or cane without issues. There is a daily lunch menu that ends at 3pm. We got here at 2:26 so we were able to save some money too. My husband and I both ordered the brisket sandwich. I ordered mine without BBQ sauce and added some yellow mustard (tomatoes really cause my arthritis pain to increase) I was very happy to see that the sauce is added afterwards. You get to pick a potato from a list of options... I picked a baked potato with sour cream and butter and my husband picked the curly fries. You also get to pick baked beans or coleslaw, we both selected Cole slaw. It was a vinger based coleslaw which we love! We ordered a corn muffin and it was huge and moist (not dry at all). The restaurant is very clean and you feel like your in a cabin. The temperature outside is 90+ and it was very comfortable here .. in the low 70's for sure. This is a nice casual place to have lunch or to celebrate a special occasion with family and friends. Lots of great food options they even have soup and salads on the menu. I highly recommend dining here when you are in the area. Plenty of parking and tables inside and outside for dining in. We will definitely be back!

We had to speak up and ask where our food was and magically it came out less than 10 minutes later--Claimed it was bc they were busy but nearly everyone in the restaurant had their food already and not every table was even occupied. Apparently we ordered the SMASH burger, hold the Smash. They were super thick, definitely NOT a smash burger. I didn't tell them well done because, well, a smash burger is always well done because it is THIN. It was so undercooked I couldn't even eat it. My son's was worse than mine but he ate it anyway since he had a game to get to. Server didn't bother to offer any compensation for any of it. So I waited an hour and a half for food that was inedible.
