If you are looking for a classic staple of Chicago, then Patio Beef is the best choice for you! This quaint, old Chicago feel restaurant is home to what I would rate as the best chicago style hot dog for a great price. We are so happy we found this place, and honestly cant wait to come back

My sister is visiting from out of state so on her last day I knew she needed to try some staples. I’ve gone past patio beef a ton of times and I always comment on how cute it is. I googled where to get the best and cheapest Chicago dog and patio beef came up! It was time to try. SOOOO DELICIOUS. The service was fast! I asked for mayo and pickles on my dipped Italian beef (don’t come for me) and the woman taking my order was side eyeing me but giggled and said no problem. She was giving owner vibes. Staff was so kind. Menu was full of good stuff! I’ll def be back. Food was out fast and it was poppin here there!

This place was great. I ordered the chicken kabob dinner and they give you so much food for the value compared to other places I have been at.

“I’ve been here twice now.”

I’ve been here twice now. First time I got the Italian dipped sandwich. It was fantastic. This time I got the gyro platter and it’s absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for a good, filling meal.

Awesome place. It's a family ran business. They provide a friendly / welcoming atmosphere. Great food as well. I've been going there probably since 1979 / 1980. I've never had a bad experience there. No food, good people. I have no complaints. You should definitely check this restaurant out.

Been coming here on and off for several years, just a great consistent location for hot dogs and burgers and chopped beef and even a fried seafood platter. Not a lot of Bells and whistles, But that's because it doesn't need it. If you can make me a good Chicago dog in under 6 minutes, I have very few reasons to complain.
