" While I had high expectations for Al's based on its reputation, my visit was mixed. The Italian beef sandwich had a nice taste, but it was slightly on the soggy side, and I wish the bread had held its shape better. The ambiance was bustling and lively, which I appreciated. Service was swift, and I will give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al's has been my go-to for Italian beef, and this latest visit did not disappoint. The sandwich was juicy and messy—just how I like it! The staff was friendly and made sure my order was correct. The only downside was that the fries were a bit soggy, but that didn't ruin my meal. I'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with friends during our Chicago trip and we all loved our meals. The Italian beef had a spicy kick and was delicious. The fries were a nice complement but a little overcooked. Overall good vibes, and I’ll definitely suggest Al's to anyone visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Al's, I finally visited and was not disappointed! The Italian beef sandwich was incredibly flavorful, and I loved that I could dip it in the broth. The atmosphere was relaxed, making it the perfect spot for a quick bite. I definitely recommend the cheese fries; they were a great complement! " (*Curated Review*)

" My sister recommended Al's, so I took a trip there and tried the Italian beef. It was quite good, juicy and held together well despite being dipped! The fries were also notable and made a good side dish. While I thought it was a little expensive for the size, I appreciated the quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my latest visit to Al's, I tried the Italian beef for the first time and I can say I’m hooked! The flavor was spot on, especially with the addition of hot giardiniera. The portion size was generous, and I appreciated how easy the staff made it to order. The atmosphere was cheerful and inviting, making it a great lunch spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Al's Italian Beef has a little something for everyone! Their hot dogs are always a hit, but the beef steals the show. It's juicy, flavorful, and just what you need after a day of sightseeing. The staff made sure we were well taken care of, which made for a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
