    The worst service ever I walk in and they act like they haven't seen black peoples before ..order extra beef on my sandwich and they gave me less meat !! Went to the rest room when I got out my food was sitting on the table !! But I should've known better and went to big Sammie's better for better service better people! If I go to the restroom there my food would've been handed to me like it was supposed to ...never coming back

    In 2 weeks I've been to this establishment twice both times same issue . Last week I walked in at 11:01am stood their for literally 10 minutes before anyone took my order (people were eating inside and drive thru was moving) anyway the guy there gave me a $3 off next $15 order and apologized cool, yesterday I go in with a coworker 11:01am order was in 11:04am I get my drink wash my hands and proceed to wait 20 minutes I seen multiple people order and leave with their food I walked up to see what the hell was happening, the whole time it's just sitting there jerks I'm at lunch on work in a gps company vehicle I didn't get to eat my $15.07 burger (over priced) after yesterday experience I'm at the point of just bring a lunch to work, not just beef shack but in general foods so expensive and the service is getting worse.

    Mold on bun

    MOLD BEWARE The food at Beef Shack is typically pretty good. This time around I ordered the chicken sandwich. Halfway through my meal I notice mold on the bun. That being said I'm never returning to this particular Beef Shack. Just praying I don't get sick.

    13 dollars for this? Totally overpriced no way will I ever go back there again not even big portions go to Portillo's you get more for your money

    Where's the chicken?

    After church headed over for a quick bite, to share with my wife. Waited in line, they gave me a free shake, I didn't like it, my wife said it is not bad. Got the food home and her chicken sandwich is missing the 24 hour marinated chicken. Also asked for celery salt on my fries, too much to ask for. Double dog was good, but my confusion was you had me wait in slot 3, so I assumed that you were going to make sure my order was correct. Sorry beef shack your standards have slipped too far for us.

    Got stuck at the Chevy dealer longer than expected. Walked over for a hot dog and fry…read more First thing,sign at entry door says$11.50 for 2dog special,but when you get to register small sign says $12.50. WTF ? Idiot taken orders is more interested in his phone than taken the order right. Had to repeat my order 3 times,which made me question if it will be right. Fries were correct,but the dogs were GROSS, seemed as if they had been in the water way too long, mushy ! The pickle spear was so small,I just had to laugh. This place is a joke !!! When you walk in the front door,you can enjoy the smell of sewer, as it is disgusting,since you're there to eat. Save your money,go somewhere else,as you can see from my prior posts,nothing has changed in a year. What is the owner doing or thinking allowing the business to operate like this and under these conditions. I won't ever return to this location , don't care what the specials are ! Hope this business closes soon !!

We all enjoyed what we ordered...I had the Greek salad with gyro meat (so so good - perfect balance of greens, veggies, and meat) , French fries w/cheese dip (so so good...like fried perfectly and crispy on the outside...I barely ate my cheese dip). Whenever I'm in the area, I'll return! And I loved all the Chicago sports memorabilia!

    I work in the area and I'd been going to Wee-Dee's a couple times a month for the past 6-7 years…read more Every day it was the same, kinda cranky, old dude in a wheelchair at the register and every day it was really good Chicago Dogs or gyros or burgers. Over the past few months, in effort to save some money, I've stopped going out for lunch everywhere, but yesterday (3/18/26) I had a hankerin' for a good Chicago Dog, and their 2-dog combo meal has always been a great deal. I noticed right away that the cranky, old dude wasn't there. I got the dogs, but it was a plain bun -- no poppyseeds. It was dull, kinda dry, run-of-the-mill pickle relish. It was one thin slice of tomato on each. Not even a hint of celery salt. There was a pickle spear, some chopped onion, some mustard, but they seemed bored. It was as though the whole sandwich didn't want to be there. If you're a Chicago area dog stand -- unless you're serving up your own, special-recipe phenoma-dog -- the canon is The Chicago Dog: steamed poppyseed bun, steamed Vienna Beef frank, yellow mustard, chopped white onion, neon-green picallili relish, dill pickle spear, tomato wedges, sport peppers, and celery salt. When you ask the customer if they want it with "everything," THAT SPECIFIC LIST is what they expect. It's a very distinct flavor combination. Half-stepping or skimping on the ingredients is instantly noticeable -- to the eyes as well as the taste buds. On my sad way out the door I asked the young dude behind the cash register if the place is under new ownership. He confirmed that it is, since October. I asked him if he's the owner, but he said he is not. I saw no sense in belaboring my point to the paid help, so I left to belabor here where I hope Wee-Dee's new owner will see it. Dear Wee-Dee's Unlike the burger -- which is just another burger, or a gyros sandwich -- which is just another gyros sandwich, The Chicago Dog is a unique, ingredient-specific creation. It is NOT just another hot dog ...which is what you're serving, now. Wee-Dee's, please fix your Chicago Dog! Thank you.

    One of the BEST grease pits in Illinois…read more Great gyros cuz they grill it for a bit, and the fries are great. They hook it up with a lot. This locations is the better Wee Dee's by far.

Stopped in for dinner with my wife. I got the cheeseburger special (fries and a drink). I will say it was good, but a bit heavy on the added mustard. Most places go heavier on the ketchup side, but this was mustard heavy. Fries were good. Wife got the Greek chicken. She never finishes her meal so I always get to comment on both dishes. I have to say the Greek chicken was outstanding. Really flavorful. I had her wing, leg and part of the breast. The rice was tender and yummy. Small piece of garlic bread but was also good. Greek potatoes were really good too. I made a mistake. I should have ordered what she had. It was that good. I wish I took a photo, but the food was devoured so quickly. The service was long, but Thats to be expected when you order chicken dishes. Only two other people in the restaurant and both had the Greek chicken as well. I want to go back, but it's too far unless I decide to take on another play in the area. Workers in the restaurant were very nice and friendly. They thanked us for dining with them. I like that.

We came here on a Monday night (also Presidents' Day) so we were the only ones in there. I got a burger with sweet potato fries which was good but nothing to boast about. My husband got their chili cheese dog (also nothing to boast about) and their Chicago hot dog. He said the Chi dog was the best chi dog he's ever tasted and that the celery salt on the bun was a nice touch. The kids share some chicken nuggets and fries. They had games inside (connect four, giant jenga, etc.) and swings which makes it really fun. They also serve the food in dog bowls to which my daughter was really confused about lol.

They have wooden floors, comfortable booths, and nice wooden tables with patio type chairs to give you that outside dining experience but actually being indoors. There is a Ms. PacMan / Galaga game and a toy locker claw machine. Some yard games: Huge Jenga and two connect 4. There is a outdoor single swing anchored to the ceiling and two TV's on the wall. The food was served in dog bowls lined with paper. It was hard to eat the sandwiches because the bread was cut all the way through. I would have loved for them to cut the sandwich in half. It was a little awkward to eat. The Philly Steak sandwich was good but was not very full, it could have used more meat. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was good but would have been better with a little more meat. The Hot Motz were great - 8 for $7.99 which is a great price! I wanted to try the Poppin Pierogi but they did not have any... hopefully next time. I recommend giving this place a try. Especially if you have a dog and kids and are traveling or passing through the area during meal time! There was a beautiful sweet golden retriever chilling out in the fake grass (people watching - so cute) We will be back again and will most likely order burgers. #kidfriendly #dogfriendly
