Rudest customer service I've ever experienced. Plus they didn't have chipotle fries- but someone told me that might only be available at the downtown location. Regardless, not coming back here even if you paid me. read more

Just ate from there.It was pretty good. The cheese fries were pretty tasty. The burger was pretty cool and I'm assuming the Italian beef was good because my hubby ate it all lol They are on the little expensive side but they are know for their Italian beefs but others foods here are just as yummy. So try them read more

Went into men's room and two of the cooking team were there.....one at the urinal and other in the stall. Both DIDN'T wash their hands when leaving.......My last time going there.....DON'T need ecoli on my food......!!! read more

The best beef sandwich around. Even beats Portillos. Always get the Jardinera and dipped. The sandwich is perfect. Fresh cut fries are wonderful. read more

By far the best tasting beef in Chicago. I know Mr. Beef and Al's are rivals for the "best beef in Chicago", but my hands down favorite is Al's. There something about their ausjus that Mr. Beef doesn't come close to. We usually stop here when we are heading out of town on the expressway. read more

My first Italian beef sandwich experience so I have nothing to compare to. It was ok. The Ceasar salad was good. Friendly staff & quick service. read more

Showed up just before closing & tried a dog and shaved beef.sandwich (Lil Al IIRC) Both were good, service was quick. Will certainly return read more

Well, i've eaten here a lot of the years. This place is decent. The beef, which is obviously their big seller, is good. I wouldn't say it's the best in the area, but it's good. Their fries are excellent. And their hot dogs are good. But, aside from that, I don't care for much here. I used to like the hamburgers a lot, but they seem to have changed vendors and the burgers just don't taste very good anymore. The chicken on the chicken sandwiches is also below par for me. If you're in the area and don't want to go a little further down the street for a beef sandwich, then go here. But, aside from that, I can't recommend this place. I usually feel like I did not get my money's worth when i'm done here. read more

Not bad. Had a junior beef dipped. Was pretty tastey. Love the fries. Nice and cool inside on a hot day. Cold beer as well. I used to go quite a bit to the Roosevelt and Taylor location back when I was in school. It didn't disappoint. read more

I love Tinley's Al's Italian beef....but I don't eat their Italian beef. I eat their burgers. Their fresh cut fries are the best. The staff accommodates my request for no salt on them without a problem. The burger is basic. Nice char-grilled taste. I get with grilled onions, so the burger is juicy. Love the fact I can get free refills on soda. But then I moved closer to Al's/ Nancy's Oak Lawns location. Went to their location but was disappointed with the food, just not as good. So when I want a good burger FAST with some great fries I travel back to the Tinley Park location. Don't know what they do different ,it's just better. read more

.Been eating here for 5+ years and they never dissapoint. The best tasting and least fatty beef sandwich I've ever had. Always great customer service. read more

Best sandwiches in Tinley Park. Very clean and friendly staff. I highly recommended to try their regular beef.

Best beef, We drive 20 miles just to go here, blow's Portillo's out of the water. Only down fall is that skinny Mexican Indian girl what ever she is. She doesn't do a damn thing around there. She has everyone bringing her Dunkin Donuts drinks or other stuff. Must of seen 4 different black guys with in half hour bringing her something. Besides that, it's ran very good there. Kind of reminds me of Rocky Balboa " Mexican guys making Italian food". But that's ok it's good stuff. Best fountain drinks there to. Best potato cut fries. read more

The best Italian beef- and the Chicago dog ain't bad either. The food came out fast and portions were great for the price. Nice beefy flavor complemented by garlicky jus. read more

Made the mistake of trying this place vs sticking with portillos. $13.00 for a combo and drink... But there was practically no beef!!! The word beef is in the name, try putting beef in the sandwich. Now if you want an all bread sandwich, this is your place. What a joke... read more

Hand cut fries always just out of the basket. My favorite Italian Beef and I have been to Mr. Beef and Johnnies Beef which has a great charbroiled Italian sausage cooked over charcoal with sweet peppers and many other good Italian beef places. I ask them to dip it and sometimes drown it in their incredible gravy and have eaten many of their Italian Beefs over the years. Al's is definitely on the expensive side. read more

See all

Italian beef isn't really my thing, went here based on a recommendation from a friend. Not bad though. Spicy beef is good.

Simply amazing. Best beef around for sure. I've been to several other places and nobody comes close to Als when comparing Italian Beef. Head there today for lunch or dinner. read more

Went in today love there beef sandwiches However I asked for it to b dry an they seem not to comprehend what dry is, I hate the texture of wet bread in my mouth. If u need to customize ur order I'd recommend opening it before u leave now I'm at home with a beef that is sopping wet!! On a positive note I love ur fries read more

Nothing fancy, just a good sandwich. I definitely would recommend the peppers. The fries were excellent.

About a year ago I had a thin crust sausage pizza here and was pleasantly surprised.....of course the italian beef is good but it is getting very pricey. This is in a strip mall so you could zip right past it. read more

I passed through the area and stopped by Al's Beef in Tinley Park for a taste of my favorite Chicago sandwich: Italian beef and sausage combo. The sandwich in the store was pretty good, but definitely not the best in the Chicago metro area. But here's my beef, so to speak. The sandwich was good enough that I ordered another to go. I warmed it up the next morning. On my 8-inch roll was plenty of beef but only a ONE-INCH piece of Italian sausage. They char-grill the sausages and obviously must have run out, except for that little piece. Since it was to-go, I guess it was screw the customer time. read more

One of my bosses favorite places so I come here for him often, I have never had a complaint until today. Usually the workers are more than friendly, today there was a girl I have never seen before with a horrible attitude. She made it seem like I was inconveniencing her for her having to do what she gets paid to do. Other than her getting my order wrong and her bad attitude, the rest of my visit was as usual. read more

Not sure how hard it is to make a PLAIN cheese burger but apparently its alot easier to put everything on it after a said plain like 3 times!! I then called and spoke to a manager and he told me he was going to look at the camera and said he call tomorrow like your joking right and he said im busy thanks for wasting my money als beef much appreciated!! Petty as hell read more

Pricey sandwiches for mediocre service. The employees here do not even greet you with the basic niceties. It feels as if you are bothering them by buying their food. Also, do not believe them when they say they deliver. That is just not true. More often than not their delivery services are closed. Pricey food, substandard service, and false advertising. This place just doesn't add up to much. Their only redeeming quality are the excellent fries! (Hence, the one star.) read more

The customer service in this place is the worse...I place my order at 5:47...Got PART of my order within about 8 minutes...But the rest of my order took another 20 minutes...20 more minutes for two hamburgers and two fries...By the time I got them the first part of our order was COLD....And they also SHORTED me an order of fries... I had order a combo...beef and sausage.....I have never EVER had a combo with SO LITTLE BEEF ON IT...Most places selling combo's pack on the beef and it's hard to see the sausage...But I had no problem seeing the sausage, cause there was HARDLY ANY BEEF on my sandwich... I will never EVER go Back... Chicago's #1 beef....I wonder how that could possibly be possible... read more

Just ate an Italian beef with spicy peppers. Beef was juicy and tasty. For fast food it's a little on the pricy side ($8.50 for a combo) but it really isn't fast food. read more

This will be the last time I eat Al's Beef. Definitely noticeable they have cut back on portions. Hot dog was the size of a pencil and mostly bun. Hamburger was thin layer of meat once again mostly bun. The only thing that saves this place- the best fries. Other than that no reason to go there. Please instead of cutting down on size raise the prices. I would rather pay more than leave feeling like I just wasted my money on a bad meal. This place gets one star for the fries. read more

Awesome food, awful customer service !! Always a girl with major attitude taking orders and they literally just throw the food at you, they must all be miserable read more

Been going to ALS beef for a number of years now.. It's always been good to me! The beef sandwich with sweet peppers is my usual and is always good! The burgers are excellent, I have also had the chicken wraps which are good to.. Chili cheese fries are sloppy but good also.. Only reason I took off a star is because sometimes it's a longer wait then usual.. Danny is the manager and is always attentive and helpful! read more

I had Al's cater a little party for me and they were just great about it. Everything was ready on time, the manager was most helpful and when I decided at the last minute that I wanted some french fries, he went out of his way to get them for me . The beef and sausage was great, juicy, flavorfull, plenty of gravy and peppers. Their one pound beef package says 5 or 6 sandwiches, but I would disagree. It makes four good sandwiches. If anyone has problems there is is sometimes with the kids that work there. You have to check your order before you leave. I have no complaints with them and have been going there and on Taylor for years. Far better then their competitors whom I won't name here.I have tried them all. read more

Love Al's. Just wish the service was more friendly. But you want a great beef. Come here

I really don't get all the hype about this franchise. I've been to several of them and the beef is good, but only good. There are a ton of mom & pop beef joints around Chicago and the suburbs that blow this place out of the water. For a lot less money too. Clean and cheerful stores though. read more

The cashier was horrible she had a very bad attitude. When I received my food, it was disgusting. The worst beef sandwich I've ever had in my life. The frozen beef from the grocery store tasted better. It was extremely greasy. It was so greasy that the bread was saturated with grease and very mushy. When I touched the sandwich my hands were covered with grease. It was almost as if the sandwich was dipped into grease after it was prepared. Then the fries were terrible. They were so greasy that I could squeeze grease from fry each time I picked one up. Needless to say, I did not eat that food. The service was so poor I felt that I would rather have wasted $11 than return and ask for better food. I left the restaurant wishing I had gone somewhere else. This was my first and last experience at any Al's Beef. read more

Very disappointed. The beef was bland and the fries were cold. The service was very friendly and the prices where cheap. Probably won't be coming back though unless I decide to get something other than a beef. read more

Delicious Beef Sandwiches!! You just can't go wrong when eating there. This is one franchise that keeps the food the same as the original.
