    Italian Beef burger
    Julisa W.

    Maaaaaan! This was such a treat to randomly find! The guys cooking were singing, smiling, having a good time! It made me happy just watching them. You can taste the love they have for what they do. I wanted something with Italian beef and they suggested the burger with the beef on it. Super tasty! The fries were realllll fries and came with a zesty sauce we really enjoyed. Okay but. The spicy chicken po boy is what my partner got. IT WAS SO FRIGGIN AMAZING! Best chicken po boy I've ever had and she agreed. We were starving and took it all to go but ate the sandwich in the car because we could not NOT scarf it down right away. We also got a cookie but it was so good I didn't take a pic and don't remember what kind it was. The restaurant is pretty hole in the wall ambiance wise but looked extremely clean which I always appreciate. If we are ever near I would consider going back!

    If you are looking for an Italian beef sandwich, this is not the place to go. I probably wouldn't bother cooking here for anything else either. It's a pretty standard greasy hot dog/burger shop. The beef was tasteless and low quality. The juice was way too much (there was a swimming pool of juice in my dish) and the bread was not crusty. Avoid.

    Chicago Style Hot Dog & Fresh Cut Fries

    First time at Slim's and I'm already planning my next visit for their Italian beef! The staff was super welcoming and friendly. I got the Chicago style hot dog with fresh cut fries (amazing deal, it even came with a drink!), and everything was fully loaded and delicious! Highly recommend!

    A small fast food spot. With all of the core items and their own creations. The cashier is super nice and friendly. Able to help me pick a great item here. Got the slim burger, which is Italian beef meat on the burger. It's very satisfying and meaty. The only thing is that the menus doesn't list the price. There is a footernote on the menu saying to go online to find real-time price. Pretty annoy if you are trying to figure out how much you want to spend.

    Expert service. The food is filling and comforting. I recommend the burgers, the chilli cheese fries, and always get the shakes, especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor. The restaurant has a big enough space to dine in comfortably.

    I don't know about the rest of their food but the hot dog. Oh. My. Gawd!!! I wish I'd gotten two instead of just one!! The bun was so delicious, the pickle, the dog, everything was so well balanced until we meet again Chicago, I'll be dreaming of that hot dog lol

    Slim's is a great local, slightly above average, fast food option. They don't bother with those grey frozen burger patties found at many competitors. .. nothing but Creekstone Farms beef here! The prices reflect the fresh ingredients and upgrades like brioche buns. 3.39 overall. I tried to convince myself to generously round up considering the service and the never frozen burger patties, but. ..that wouldn't be fair to the other 4 star restaurants. I don't like their Chicken Strips, but they are popular. I find they lack seasoning and are chewy. Not worth a special trip, but absolutely check out if you live in the neighborhood. Open til 9pm.

    I liked this place. The workers were very nice. The restaurant is very small, has about four booths but when me and a friend went in we were the only ones in there. The food was solid, a bit expensive but pretty good. I got the cheeseburger combo with a strawberry shake and regular fry. The fries were way too salty and the burger was just okay. I've had better. I also got the mozz sticks, they were beer battered which I'm not really a fan of but my friend liked them. Overall I would come back and probably order something different and ask for light salt on my fries.

    Solid service & value. Tasty food. Huge portion of beef on the combo sandwich. Sweet peppers layered in the beef, not on - nice touch.

    One of Chicago's many virtues is its sandwich game, and L&M sits at the top of the short list!…read more The shop doubles as a specialty foods store selling hard to find items, with a standalone station carving up fresh meats and assembling the sandwiches. I appreciated that they have ample seating room for eating them at maximum freshness. We ordered the turkey & Brie and roast beef sandwiches. The bread was super fresh with the perfect crunch and chew. No ingredients were skimped upon with the perfect balance of flavors. I loved how the crunchy apple contrasted the slab of Brie on the turkey sandwich, and the roasted garlic aioli brought a great savory balance. The roast beef sandwich was pretty spicy and I loved the slight smokiness of the provolone. We left very satisfied and with leftovers. I would 100% stop by again in a heartbeat and absolutely recommend paying a visit!

I stopped in here after seeing posts on social media and I was not disappointed. I ate two of what quite possibly may be some of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The turkey and brie sandwich is out of this world. It has a smokey taste to which is supplemented by the subtle taste thinly sliced Granny Smith apples. The porchetta sandwich is perfectly salty and has perfect portions of meat, greens and fried capers. Both sandwiches are served on the default, fresh ciabatta bread. A true hidden gem, though likely not for long.
