Jay's Beef - Harwood Heights

We moved around the corner from this place in 1979 (back when it truly was, just a shack). Only ever really had hot dogs or beef, but even after moving away, 35 'ish years later, I still seek out this place when I 'm in the area. Their prices are reasonable (especially considering how much food they give you). I think I 've seen all generations (starting with great grandpa the referee), and the staff has always been efficient (not 'southern hospitality friendly, but down to business quick). I 've visited a few of the other locations pretty much same experience at those as well.

Oh my gosh, I have not had such a Great Beef sandwich in a long time. The Gardiner is so fresh and crispy. Your taste buds will love you! Friendly customer service.

Jay's beef is incredible! A generous amount of beef on every sandwich. If you like spicy, the giardiniera is not, but the sandwich does not disappoint. Also, if you order fries, they can be split amongst two people, if not three. Enjoy!

Great beef sandwiches and fries are very good. I highly this place. Haven't tried other menu items but observed other customers buying burgers and hot dogs.

This place was great. Throwing it down like an Italian beef is supposed to be. Get it dipped and then assume the proper sandwich stance for maximum enjoyment.
