    Chips
    Gerry T.

    It's an extensive menu and they offer catering too. We came here to specifically try their hot pastrami and corned beef sandwich. It's called the Chicago Pickle sandwich. I got the whole one, not half, and it was magnificent. The meats, Swiss cheese, coleslaw with thousand island dressing, on rye - was so filling, I saved half for later. We also tried the garlic aioli burger and it could have been more rare but what can you do with thinner patties. It was still very good though and it was topped with mushrooms. Looking back, my only tip is to not wrap the sandwich if you're dining in at the restaurant, this will keep everything crisper, it'll remain crunchy and easier to eat as opposed to having a soggy bun and bread. I'd like to come back for the Reuben sandwich and the steak and cheese sub. There's only street parking. I'd also like to try their Uptown location as it's equidistant from my home. By the way, this location was very clean and the service was friendly and overly kind.

    Onion Rings

    I was really craving a chopped cheese for some reason and had seen some influencers hyping this place up so we decided to go check it out. You can tell they were going for the bodega/corner store vibe and it was for the most part they were spot on. They were just missing the random cat (might be a NY thing), everything was well organized and the place was really clean. They had plenty of drink options, chips, and other accoutrements that your local corner store may provide. We ended up ordering an Italian sub, a cheesesteak and a chopped cheese. We also ordered wings and onion rings. Nothing really stood out about the food. We couldn't really taste the difference between the cheesesteak and the chopped cheese. The onion rings were good. The wings were a miss. Overall the service was great and honestly that saved their rating. Everyone there was super friendly and accommodating.

    The good is the price point & the portions. The bad is this isn't the best rendition of said dishes but they'll more than suffice. Delivery to my office was $7 & I had no idea of the portion size so we ordered extra. My coworker ordered a breakfast sandwich & steak fries which was overkill. I ended up with a cordon bleu & chopped cheese but I endedup giving the 2nd sandwich away. The sandwich was merely ok but what elevated it was the accompanying sauce which I assume was the sassy sauce.

    As a family of sandwich lovers, this eatery checks all the boxes!! The service was amazing. We were greeted with smiles and very helpful and patient workers as we discussed the menu. For a family of 5, we got the full spicy Italian, half pastrami, half hummus and veggie, half ruben and a small French fry. The full is huge (we have leftovers to eat later today!). Our favorites were the toasted ruben and pastrami. Each sandwich was served with 2 crispy pickle spears. For everything we ordered, it came out to $50. The space is very clean and has plenty of seating. There is a large chip and drink selection, and of course pickle back brine! They also have a deli to order sliced boars head and cheese. Can't say anything better than to recommend this place! We surely will be back!

    My family and I love the assortment of sandwiches from Chicago Pickle. Our favs are the veggie and turkey club. Thank you for the outstanding service from Clemente and crew! They're very kind and attentive with our order every time.

    Classic burger, whole pastrami sandwich, and half Chicago Pickle sandwich, plus fried pickle spears!!

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

    Been wanting to come here since moving to Chicago, but haven't had the opportunity until recently…read morewhen friends were in town. We were already in the area to check out Frank Lloyd Wright's studio and then came here for lunch afterwards. We were lucky that it was a Monday at lunch time and not a more traditional peak time to be there because we got a parking space fairly quickly and even though we saw the line out the door, it moved very fast. It's very much a cash-only and no-frills type of place. Don't come here expecting them to be super friendly to you. You go up there knowing what you want to order and they are quick and on it. When you're paying, they're already getting the other customer's (behind you) order. We went for an Italian beef sandwich to split as well as a side of fries and an Italian ice. Everything was excellent. Definitely the best Italian beef I've ever had and one of my friends said it was one of the best foods he had on his week trip here. Will definitely need to return!

    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!

My friend who grew up here had the protip of getting a cup of cheese for the fries, why not? I just ate so many veggies! We also got an Italian beef with sweet peppers to split. I have had Italian beef before, so this wasn't a new flavor, but it's been awhile, and when I tell you I didn't remember the beef being so flavorful. I think next time I would get it with hot peppers, but the sweets weren't bad. Get a lemon ice if it's warm out, it was smooth and tart and a great finish to a great meal to round out my Chicago trip!
