This was my first time at Beef Shack. I tried a cheesy beef on garlic bread. It was good, not great. The beef was tender and juicy but not enough. The gardinera was meh, Garlic bread was good and the cheese was a nice addition Customer service was disappointing. I ordered a coke, the cups were next to the register and because the cashier didn't give me one, maybe it was self serve. The cashier did not greet us, thank us, or seem interested in being there. read more

Had a great experience here for a fast food joint. We really enjoyed the chop salad and grilled chicken sandwich. Tasted fresh and speedy service. Would stop by again. read more

The amount of beef in the sandwiches was pathetic. It used to be twice as big. Also the fries were raw. The cheese sauce was good so they succeeded in opening up a can. read more

Beef Shack - Fast Food Near Me - Wood Dale, Illinois

I want to like this place cause i live in the area but they need work. They need to not microwave food because I know my burger was microwaved and if you do microwave, do the meat only and lightly and then add new fresh toppings. The beef was decent just not enough and the bread was not typical french bread. Its big fat and doughy, chewy. They forgot to add the giardiniera in drive thru and that was my experience. Not great by any means and could be managed better if wanted to. Hope they improve and stick around. read more

We were greeted as soon as we walked into Beef Shack, and one of the first things we noticed was how CLEAN the dining area and tables were. Since it was our first visit, we said we needed a minute to look over the menu. The cashier really friendly and told us to take our time and let them know if we had any questions, and also told us about the daily special and rewards program. Our order was ready pretty quickly, and the employee who handed it to us was just as friendly and helpful, and answered another question I had about the rewards program. BOTH employees COULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICER. I had an issue with my Toast rewards account, and the owner/manager took my information and said it would be resolved by the next day. The issue did get resolved as promised, and I really appreciated the quick follow-through. We ordered cheesy beefs with sweet peppers, fries, and shakes. The amount of beef on the sandwich was perfect for me, not as much as pictured in the menu photos, but definitely not skimpy either. EVERYTHING we had was VERY GOOD. I was expecting the food to be good, as a few of our neighbors have had positive things to say, but I honestly wasn't expecting to put it ABOVE Portillo's and Buona Beef. Between the food, cleanliness, and exceptional service, we had a great first experience. We'll definitely be back soon to try more of the menu and especially for the $1 shakes on Saturdays! read more

Delicious beef sandwiches and some of the best cheese fries around. The beefs are juicy, but the bread they use is perfect as it does not get soggy at all. read more

This place has recently opened here taking over an old Burger King building. Stopped in and ordered a mini beef + mini fries at a not so mini price. The beef was not very memorable. I think the bread was just wrong. It seemed somewhat gummy. I did not care for it. Now for the fries....so many of them were undercooked and floppy. These were fresh cut fries and the thinner pieces that were cooked were very good. They dropped the ball on them. They did have signs posted that on Tuesdays hot dogs are a dollar. Sounds like a good deal. I might return to give that a try. I don't want to dump on this place because this spot is new and I'm sure they're going through some growing pains but if you're going to be charging people money, you've got to perform. This place is a bit tricky getting in and out of too. Bottom line = 3 stars and I'm being generous. If you have the word "beef" in your name, you better have a great one. Comes up short to me. read more

Just got back from NEW Wooddale Beef Shack..ordered two beefs to go..wet..or dipped whatever..but juicy.. Got home omg dry... way too dry..and meat less then we ever got at other beef shacks.. The two bread ends were hard..and no meat ..see pics..no juice..and that is NOT what we paid for..I called..talked to a gal..she seemed not interested..really. We are in the their neighborhood.....and we talk to others.. If this place is going to succeed. They have to tune into what people order. Mistakes do happen..but.. The worse dry beef sandwiches we ever had..unacceptable.. Not going back..and it will not last there til they get it right.. Thanks for reading this.. read more

HORRIBLE! The ends of the bread rolls was a bit stale, the beef was okay but WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! I asked for a side of peppers and it was stingy! We ordered fries and the grease tasted like it was old, dirty & heavy. This place needs some work. Not good. Go to Portillo's or Buona. read more

Oh how i wish i could make this review a ONE star but i cant. The manager was SUPER rude and showed plenty of attitude and aggression towards me just because i asked for an extra dressing. Saul or wtv his name is, he's rude and doesn't deserve to work here. read more

First time eatin from Beef Shack and 99.9% sure my last , That Beef Sandwich was an embarrassment to Beef's and Chicago , i dont know what they did but that was one of the worst that i have eaten and that aju ... more like apooooo .. i never seen an almost red aju and the flavor tastes nothing like Beef aju... dont get me started on that bread , tasted like a hoagie roll , it definitely didn't taste like a Turano roll... and if it was , had be be a bad batch , the ONLY thing they have going for them is the kid behind the counter and the decor .... definitely a big let down ... I gave it a 2 star and they only got that because of the kid at the counter and the decor because the food is a BIG FAT 0.... step it up guys or you will end up being anthor statistic in Chicago..... read more

It's ZIPPYS under a different name! This is run by the old Zippys Home of the Cheesey Beef owner. I had flashbacks eating the cheesey beef. They don't have waffle fries like Zippys but their fries were really good! read more

I love beef shack, I think it's the #1 place for beef. This location is the closest to where I live but was the worst. I asked for dipped and it was a bit dry. The thing that was really disappointing is that they have a massive fruit fly problem which is all too common at various restaurants and coffee shops in Chicago. This particular fruit fly was very persistent and kept going after my food after I tried to swat it away 10 times. This is usually a sign that the trash isn't getting taken out or that things are not clean. It gives fruit flies a place to eat and breed. The girl behind the desk walked around and shifted a bunch of tables but I could not tell is she was actually wiping them down or cleaning them. It wasn't busy either. When i got there all of the tables were dirty and had au ju grease all over them. I had to wipe down my own table before and after I ate read more

Food great, great place for dine in or take out. I recently tried the beef combo and was disappointed by the very small amount of of beef. Half hand full of beef, not enough to call it a combo. I'm sure it was an error. I ate and left. Other then that a great alternative to other places. Give it a try if you love Chicago hot dogs. Simply the best. read more

Absolutely Delicious! Stopped in for a quick bite and was blown away. The cheesy beef sandwich was packed with flavor--juicy, tender beef smothered in perfectly melted cheese on a fresh, soft roll. Every bite was satisfying. And the fresh cut fries? Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and clearly made with care. You can taste the difference. Friendly service and a clean, welcoming spot. Definitely coming back! read more

First time trying Beef Shack and it was AMAZING! We order from here 3 days in a row it was so good! Get the beef and fresh cut fries you will not be disappointed! read more

Way too expensive. Everything mediocre except the fries. The fries were good. Fresh cut and cooked good.

One and done , Ordered combo and burger , husband had combo and said nothing to brag about, I had burger and it was dry and not good . Ten bucks for a burger is pricey for sure especially since fries are extra, fries were undercooked and stuck together in a blob . Hope they pull it together or won't be around for long. read more
