Johnny's Beef - Elmwood Park

jesshatala Ordered:

Combo, wet, sweet

jesshatala Review:

This beef is worth the drive for the city dwellers. The staff is proficient, no nonsense, and bi or even tri lingual. The line is usually long, but fast moving and there is ample parking in back. The Italian Ices (or just "ice") are a little tart for my taste, but my BFF Danimal seems to love them, as his order is always "combo, dipped, sweet, ice and a fry". I'm a big fan of the fries myself- they come in a cone of wax paper. Like I said, no nonsense. I recommend the drive west on North Ave from the City. Its a pleasant jaunt through old Chicago train yards, corner stores, and social clubs. All in all this is one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday. Call it a real Chicago "brunch".

jesshatala may eat here again.
