4.6 (1,645)An unpretentious South Side counter serving family-recipe Italian beef, house giardiniera, and hand-cut fries.
Description
A West Lawn fixture since 1979, the spot originally opened with an all-family staff that included Grandpa Tony, Tony, Sister Theresa, Brother John, brother-in-law Johnny “D”, and Uncle Benny. Tony developed the beef recipe while Grandpa spent hours perfecting his giardiniera, establishing a South Side staple that rounds out its comfort offerings with hot dogs, sausages, and gyros.
