Tips


 
Here are some tips for enjoying Al's #1 Italian Beef in Chicago:

1. **Classic Order**: Start with the traditional Italian Beef sandwich—thinly sliced beef, immersed in a savory gravy, served on an Italian roll.

2. **Customization**: Don’t hesitate to customize your sandwich. You can ask for sweet or hot peppers, or even add mozzarella for extra flavor.

3. **Dip Options**: For the ultimate experience, try the dipped option, where your sandwich is soaked in the rich broth for added moisture and flavor.

4. **Side Additions**: Consider pairing your sandwich with a side of fries or their famous giardiniera for an authentic touch.

5. **Timing**: Visit during off-peak hours to avoid long lines, especially during lunch rush.

6. **Staying Hungry**: Come hungry! The portions are generous, and you’ll want to savor every bite.

Enjoy your meal at this iconic Chicago spot!
