Jay's Beef - Schiller Park

Cute, friendly family-owned Italian beef place. Meat was flavorful and tender, fries were fresh and delicious!

With all the Italian beef places in Chicago, there is a huge debate that is best. I found that most people like those with whom they grew up, and many people in the Schiller Park and Harwood Heights think that Jay's Beef is the best. I thought both the Italian beef and the hot dog were very good and delicious. But the French fries were just wonderful. Jay's beef is a simple, non-frills place with good Chicago style food at reasonable prices. And that's been like that for 40 years.

Tim took us to dinner before the lecture. He's been telling us about Jay's Beef for years, and I have to finally visit this trip. (For those who have never heard of an Italian beef, here is a description. Actually we have a beef and sausage with peppe

Here from Atlanta and was happy enough to walk into this little place. I ordered the beef and sourcing combo with sweet and hot peppers with melted cheddar.... WOW! Absolutely delicious!!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you fly in O’hare, you have to stop here!

The Italian beef is excellent, quality meat, good hot jardine and sweet peppers. A little expensive at $9.05. When I was younger, I always thought at the site of Narragansett avenue that they had one of the best beef in Chicago.
