I haven't been to Monti's since it had that big, rich uncle's basement energy. The uncle in the…read morefamily whose house everybody crammed into for Friday fish fry, and the smoky card games, with the liquor bottles on the walls. Yesterday I walked in and, oh. oh WOW. Now you only get that basement vibe when you head to the bathroom. lol Monti's is a legit cool kid now, and I'm not mad at it at all. The cheesesteak? Still doing what it's supposed to do. I ordered one to go and demolished it later that night, like usual. I did sit in and have a few beers and bites. Somehow I've been sleeping on the onion rings and wings this whole time. Listen, listen, listen, Linda, the onion rings; Do Not Change Them!!! Don't you dare switch to those battered, frozen, chain-restaurant rings of bull-s. These are the good rings. Now, the wangzzzz. I'm not going to pretend these are the absolute best wings in the entire city, but they are absolutely in the "I will randomly crave these on a Tuesday" category. The meat could use a little marinade situation to bring more flavor inside, but that crispy coating holds up to the sauce like a champ. I like it, I like it, I like it. Extra points for a buffalo sauce that actually has some thickness to it and isn't just "here's some hot sauce, on a wing being called buffalo sauce. Now, I am going to need to try some of the other wing sauces, but if they hold up too. I would rather come here than go to some other well known wing spots. Honestly, I can see myself rolling through just for wings, rings, and vibes. And that Golden Monkey beer? Yeah, go ahead and keep that on tap forever. Please and thank you. haha

The meat was perfectly chopped and juicy, the bread was spot on, and that cheddar sauce just took everything to another level. If you're looking for something that actually comes close to a real Philadelphia Philly cheesesteak, this is hands down the best spot in Chicago--and honestly, probably all of Illinois. Nothing else around here compares. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to. Highly recommend.

Here's a fun, high-energy review you can drop:…read more The Philly Special is an absolute gem out in the suburbs If you're anywhere near Chicago and craving a legit cheesesteak, this place is a MUST. We tried a couple sandwiches and WOW... the flavor is next level The steak is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and piled high, the bread is soft with that perfect bite, and everything just comes together so well. You can tell they really care about doing it right. Hands down one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I've had around here--no question On top of that, the owner is an awesome guy Super friendly, welcoming, and you can tell he takes pride in the place. That kind of energy makes the experience even better. Great food, great vibes, great people. Highly recommend checking this spot out

When I arrived the cashier initially couldn't find my order in the system but after a lil detective work it was located. Even though it was a 20 min drive from the time I ordered my food to when I arrived. Add on an extra 10 min because I placed a phone call. So that's 30 min time that's elapsed since I ordered. I still had to wait an additional almost 20 min before I received my order. Mind you, I was driving from O'Hare airport. To Hammond, Ind because I think that's highly of your sandwiches. Then onward to the city of Chicago, the 100's to be exact , as my final destination. When I finally get home I'm definitely ready to eat but to my disappointment I couldn't even indulge like I was anticipating. I ordered two med mixed ( stark and chicken ) Philly sandwiches. Each with different toppings. What I got was two chicken sandwiches that looked like complete slop and were so messy they couldn't even be picked up to be eaten. So fk'n angry, pissed and most importantly hungry! Is a lil order accuracy too much to ask for?? I live entirely too far to drive back out there to rectify this problem. So that's why I'm here. I tried calling to speak to someone but I was out on hold. So if I can't complain to them directly. I'll complain to yall! S/N they just hung up after keeping me on hold for over 15 min. S/N I tried to eat this BS and it taste how it looks....slop. No seasoning. His globs of crap in some bread that reminds me of some cheap toilet paper. Can't hold shit! S/N the fries were good though. Now I wanna check out the sweet steak. I really like your food but you guys really dropped the ball tonight and I'm real upset about that. I had been looking forward to these sandwiches since the idea popped in my head while watching the bears game this past Sunday

Saddest looking sammie I've seen in awhile. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is because when I pushed all the meat to one side, essentially making it a 3 inch sub, it tasted pretty good. Lots of other places that'll give you more bang for your buck, though.

I miss their location on Belmont, but was happy to find this location. Didn't really find any…read morestreet parking so I had to park at the little lot across the street which was $15. I guess to park that's not really that expensive but when you're just going in for a sandwich, it seems like a bunch. I ordered my Philly with onions and green peppers with the American cheese and it was as good as the one on Belmont. The place is a little dirty. The bathrooms are horrendous just as bad as the ones on Belmont you used to be. I don't know why it's so hard for people to use the restroom without leaving an extreme mess. So I would say the biggest downfall is how disgusting the bathrooms are. The place is older so it isn't the cleanest looking of places, but unlike the one on Belmont, I left and didn't get food poisoning. It had been several years since I had a Philly because after you get food poisoning on something you don't wanna eat it for a long time.

I did add mushrooms to mine, but actually wished I didn't. Overall it's beefy, cheesy and gooey. Bread is great too. I've had their turkey 9 inch sub sandwich the way they recommend it and it was really good and filling. Almost like a Jersey Mikes but not as juicy. Lastly, if you want more meat, get the make your own option and you can add two or more meats. I did this the second time around and found it was a lot more food. Good for getting the 6 inch and splitting it. For the fries - I like them in the bag - and the. You can dip them. If you order with mild sauce they put it on the fries, which is not bad at all, but makes them more soggy. This place rocks! I need to try the Italian ice next time I dine in.
