“This place absolutely lived up to the hype! My Italian beef sandwich was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, with the hot peppers adding just the right amount of kick. It's easy to see why they've been serving customers since 1975—they clearly know what they're doing. The service was quick, and the food was well worth the visit. There is only a small counter with limited seating behind the ordering area, so it's best to plan on taking your meal to go if it's busy. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime fan, this is a fantastic spot for an authentic and delicious Italian beef sandwich.”
“Incredible beef, everything one could want out of a local spot. Pro tip - if you order it with hot peppers they come on the side. I was too excited and forgot to check, ate the whole thing without realizing 😂”
“Tony’s Italian Beef 7007 S. Pulaski Rd. 4.8 / 5 for just the standard italian beef, no peppers, no cheese, dipped. Total: $12.95 for an italian beef meal +.40 additional for a large drink upcharge +.40 additional for a large fry upcharge +.90 additional for cheese on fries upcharge Totalling: $16.22 after tax 2 people inside reading the paper on this Sunday afternoon at Tony’s on Pulaski. Excellent service from the staff. The total for a large cheese fry, beef with no peppers, no cheese and a large diet RC was pretty reasonable in 2025 at $16.22 after tax and before credit card fee (2.55% fee making it $16.63 total). Clean and well kept interior, menu signage covers the wall in prices and options. WOW! The thin sliced beef is perfectly tender and full of flavor! You can see the sheets of thinly sliced beef still intact and without ruberiness! I am quite happy and pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of their beef! Worth the 45 minute drive for the beef alone. The roll held up extremely well for being dipped, it provided no off flavors in the after taste, and still had a little chew left. Cheese fries were amazing and well salted Overall it’s pretty much a 5 star experience!”
“I drove in from the northwest suburbs to try Tony’s Italian Beef. Wow, it’s the real deal! The service was super friendly and fast, and the Italian beef sandwich… wow. Juicy, flavorful, and just hits the spot. Definitely makes my top five Italian beef spots in the Chicagoland area. If you’re a fan of Italian beef, this place needs to be on your list.”
“Finally got to try an Italian beef sandwich, and it didn't disappoint. Huge sandwich at a decent price. I barely had time to put my credit card back in my wallet that my order was ready 🤪. The beef is juicy and delicious. I also liked the hot peppers. I had mine with extra american cheese but it didn't really add much, the beef speaks for itself.”
“Wanted a chicken gyro not chicken breast on pita this sucks chicken had no flavor and they forgot to pack my hotdog, first time trying this place probably last, sticking to Windy City hotdogs”
