I love the place. Tomorrow 10/26/25 is their last day in business. I'm heartbroken they are…read moreclosing. The owner is retiring . So happy for him to start his retirement. The sandwiches are so good. I'm going to miss coming here.

The place is in a small dumpy small mall. The front is nothing special…read more You walk in and it seems dark and a little dirty and dumpy. Like bright and clean. The menu was a little for everyone. The man took our order. I watched him use a touchscreen to place our orders and they proceed to hand the lunch meat to throw it on the grill. I almost canceled my order but Inwas hungry. The Rueben seemed to have twice as much sauerkraut on it as corned beef. Because of it I tasted more sauerkraut then 1000 island or corned beef. My wife got a turkey sandwich. Pretty much the same. Skimpy on the turkey. The fries were good and plentiful. The sub bread was good. It was toast and I enjoyed. I won't be back.

The food was overall good. Had a large cheesesteak sandwich with white American cheese, hand cut…read morefries and a drink. The prices were high though @ $28. I know that all restaurants are struggling with higher costs of pretty much everything, so it has to get passed along to the consumer. Customer service was fast and friendly. I'd give it another try when I'm in the area.

OMG the BBQ Cheesesteak is fabulous! The meat is so tender, the sause is perfection. I could eat it…read moreevery day. The cheese curds are also fantastic. You have to try this.

Oh, how I miss that one big guy that used to say, "gimmie a beef, drag it, and a bag to travel"…read more Or, "gimme an ice, cap it, next!" Johnnie's is an icon, just based on the experience of listening to that guy talk. Ah, but he's long gone, and new ownership abounds. But the beef is still great. One of the best beef sandwiches around, combos that are seasoned just right, and Italian ice That hits the spot on a hot summer day. I think the hot dogs are just a throw in, and the fries are decent. But it's the beef that keeps bringing you back. Not much ambiance, unless you want to stand and watch the cars roll by on North Avenue, but the smell of the sausage cooking is intoxicating. The price of the beef has gone up, and I swear it's a tad smaller, but if you're in the neighborhood, nothing hits the spot quite like a Johnnie's beef sandwich. I can still hear the big guy...."Whaddah need, gimmie a beef, wet, sweet and hot, That'l be nine fiffy two, bag it, next!" I miss him...

Johnnie's Beef is known. It has a reputation. One that it upholds with every hot dog and beef…read moresandwich they serve. You've undoubtedly heard the rumors and they are true! Choosing an "off" night (example: a weeknight) or during a less-than-ideal time (example: during a snowstorm) will give you the quickest experience for Johnnie's as the line can get LONG and parking is terrible (tiny lot). Note: this was my second visit as my first attempt, on Father's Day 2025, was a magnificent bust. We had no line and plenty of seating this time! They have a big menu, but save the cute stuff for a follow-up visit and get a beef (& hot dog is really hungry). Do yourself a favor and get an Italian Ice too, time of year is irrelevant. You can thank me after your tastebuds recover from being overwhelmed. Is the food THAT much better than other spots, you ask? Not handedly, no. But the whole experience, especially if you wait in line (in the sun as there is zero shade), is what makes this place great. It really is a delightful Chicago experience. Put Johnnie's at the top of your list this summer, plan accordingly, and ENJOY!

Paid for 6 hotdogs and received only 4. The food we got was good but disappointing experience.read more

Greeted immediately upon entering…read more No issues with ordering. We got a regular Philly cheesesteak and a chicken Philly. We dined in so order was brought out to us. They have a few tables to sit and eat at. I recommend signing up for rewards on the app for any potential promotions and then can scan to earn rewards prior to paying. Also could order on the app as well. Our sandwiches and fries arrived hot. Everything was good til the last few bites that were really salty. Would recommend asking them for light or no salt and maybe adding your own in. Otherwise good visit.

Used to be good food. Regular old school used to have meat…read moreboth sides. Paid extra for a premium upgrade EXTRA meat sandwich "old school triple melt". I got barely any meat and toppings only came on half of the sandwich. Pics are what I got vs what a normal sandwich without extra meat is meant to look like/used to look like.

The restaurant table set up is kind of bizarre. Different sized tables in the middle of the room…read more The tables all advertise the business The food however, is pretty good. The order area is nice and the electric menu boards are easy to read. We ordered the 10 piece bone-in chicken wings, in buffalo sauce. We were hoping that they had blue cheese as a dipping sauce but they don't. So we picked the ranch dipping sauce and it was just OK. When I first saw the chicken wings I thought they were gonna be crispy, but they're actually not. They are very moist and cooked to perfection. We ordered cheese sticks and they were eight in the order and they were delicious. Nice and crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. We also ordered two of the bubble tea. I got the Taro milk tea and my husband got the banana milk tea. They both had the tapioca in them and were so delicious! Best I have had! Really cold and yummy! If you're in the area, you should definitely give this restaurant a try. Next time we are going to try the Zinger Burger!

Picked up a double cheeseburger and small fries. Halfway through the sandwich i bit into something…read morethat I could not even chew. Seemed like a piece of plastic or gristle or something inedible. The fries were completely soggy. Just horrible. Threw both food items in the garbage. While waiting for my pickup order, I noticed many tables were covered with a plastic coating that had cracked or peeled partially off. I hope they take better care of their food preparation than the tables. And this has not changed since I first started coming to the restaurant about 2 months ago. Finally, as I was leaving the restaurant, The bar across the door had some very sticky junk on it that I had to scrub off when I got home. Never going back to this lousy restaurant!!!

Food is tasty but the sandwiches can use a little more meat. Even though it's a Philly steak it…read moreseemed really light. The wings are tasty but the temperature could have been hotter. It seemed as though they were heated and sauced. They have the best lemonade hands down. With the option of adding some fresh fruit to give flavor including peach, strawberry, and tropical. The staff is always courteous and the service is fast. Clean and bright restaurant with dinner in option. Parking plentiful in a mini mall area.

My first time here. Cute little restaurant. I had the lemon pepper (dry rub) wings and really liked…read morethem. You have the option to order on a kiosk or at the counter. The young lady who helped me was very polite and courtesy with my dozen questions lol Although i stopped by late there were still quite a few customers. It's in a shopping strip so plenty of parking. I like they take tap for cashless option Huge menu on the wall but QR codes are also available for menu options at the table. I did opt for cheese bacon fries, as my side, they did not disappoint! Yummy! I will go back one day and try their sandwiches Only downfall, they do not serve coke
