    Italian Beef Sandwich

    This small restaurant has big heart! The food was great, we came for the Italian Beef Sandwich and it did not disappoint! The au Ju had so much flavor, the peppers had the perfect balance of sweet and hot. We also had cheese fries (pure nostalgia), zucchini which was also great. Service was excellent, you could tell the owner took pride in his food. I told him his food was great and he shook my hand and with a smile said "thank you". We will definitely be back!

    If you are looking for the best Chicago dog chili cheese, burger, and good old-fashioned customer service look no further! This is the spot! I can't say enough good things about the food here and the hospitality! I had the Chicago dog and it was just as I remembered. I also had a chili cheese slider, and it was out of this world! The french fries were divine and the owner is a total sweetheart! Don't walk but run to this place for some good old-fashioned Chicago style food!

    This historic spot is certainly a throwback. She's showing her age, but the food was good. Friendly,quick service and the wait staff does a good job of keeping the tables clean. We enjoyed a 1/3 lb. & 2/3 lb. cheese burger, fries and shakes. The Chicago style Italian beef sandwich was good too. The prices haven't stayed historic but, no one left hungry and we took food home.

    Think I came here 12 years ago. This time I tried the $10 Chicago cheesesteak. It had Chicago beef and onions and peppers and provolone. Nice lean meat and filling sandwiches. Enjoyable.

    I have not been here in years and we were close by having cocktails. We wrapped up our drinks early so we can make it in before they closed. Just like I remembered everything was delicious and everybody enjoyed their sliders.

    This place has been around for as long as I can remember. My Dad used to take me here when I, as a kid, I would go to work with him and I continued that tradition on to my son. I live in the east valley now but any time my buddy and I find ourselves in the Phoenix area we HAVE to stop for some sliders and fries. The sliders are and always have been the best but the fries? ESPECIALLY if you dine in, are probably the best I've ever had. The funny thing is that I've been coming here for probably 50 years and I always tell myself I'm going to try the Italian beef or an Italian sausage but all I've EVER eaten here IS the sliders and fries. I'll have to try some other stuff to report back. The staff is always great and the owner is super cool. I'm not sure if they still offer it but they use to have a deal where if the Cubs OR the White Sox ever win the World Series, he gives free sliders to everyone that comes in the next day I think it is. I think he told me the last time it was 3 to each person, and I would imagine that would be a lot of sliders. He always has a cool story to tell as well about his business, his decor, or people he knows that might happen to be at the joint that particular day like he did the other day when I was there. Anyway, it's a tiny little place but it's a great little place. The fries alone pull 5 stars but pretty much everything about this little gem merits acknowledgement!

    This has been a staple for my whole being. I always have the hardest time deciding what I'm going to eat because it's all soooo good. The people who work here are so nice and efficient. The place is always clean. Love the memorabilia everywhere. I had the hot beef with peppers and fried zucchini. My friend the sliders and fries. Always I'd recommend this place.

    Chili/cheese Dog

    I drive past this place all the time and I've always wanted to eat here because it's so cute on the outside. Today was the day and I'm happy to report it's just as cute on the inside. Cute- as in, classic and comfy. More importantly, service was great and the food was delicious! I got the chili cheese dog with onion and jalapeños - so good!

    After living in Chicago for five years, we became true connoisseurs of Italian beef sandwiches. Outside of Chicagoland, finding a great one is nearly impossible--so when you do, you take full advantage. We've been in the Phoenix area for about six weeks, and in that time, we've already visited Chicago Burger five times for one reason: the beef. If you're unfamiliar with this legendary sandwich, do yourself a favor--step up to the counter and order: "Beef, hot, sweet, wet." Then, grab a stack of napkins (trust me, you'll need them) and prepare to enjoy the best Italian beef sandwich in Phoenix. This place is the real deal!

    Do the burgers come with mustard?

    Yup, unless otherwise requested. www.chicagohamburger.com

    No bar, beer or wine?

    Nope! No libations here, the setup and vibe of the place is not really conducive to alcohol service. However, beer would be a welcome addition to the menu and would complement the Italian beef, burgers and dogs.… Read more

    If you're looking for a legit, no-frills spot for a really good hot dog or brat, Ted's Hot Dogs is…read moreabsolutely worth checking out. We've been coming here for about five years now, and it's one of those places that just stays consistent. You'll usually see a line, but don't let that scare you off--everything is made fresh right in front of you, so the short wait is part of the experience. What really sets this place apart is the grill. You can watch them cook your hot dog or sausage to order, getting that perfect snap on the casing with nice grill marks. The texture alone makes a big difference--it's crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. They've got a ton of topping options too--probably a dozen or more. Whether you're into sauerkraut, sautéed peppers and onions, chili, or keeping it classic, you can build it exactly how you like it. The sides are solid. The fries are good, and the onion rings are a little different--thinner and softer than most--but still tasty. This isn't necessarily a place we go every week, but when the craving for a really good hot dog hits, this is where we go. It's definitely a local favorite, and you can tell by how many regulars have been coming here for decades. We've also heard they might be opening a location in Gilbert soon, which would be awesome. Overall, great food, fresh off the grill, and always hits the spot.

    Ted's is my favorite hot dog spot in the Valley, and it keeps earning that title…read more There's a clear East Coast influence here, down to the details--like bottles of malt vinegar out for self-service, which is perfect over their fries, and Buffalo NY newspaper copies. And those fries are excellent on their own: thin-cut, crisped just right, with bits of potato skin mixed in for texture. The dog lineup is solid, with plenty of variety, but I usually stick with the all-beef frank. Everything's made to order, so there's typically a bit of a wait, but you get a buzzer so you can mind your own business while waiting. The space is a plus too, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. On my latest visit, a large group of bicyclists rolled in--some in full hot dog costumes, others in hot dog-print gear. They were all super friendly and cleaned up after themselves and it added to the whole experience. Consistently great food, a peaceful or fun atmosphere, and attention to the little things that matter.
