I was there this past Tuesday with my wife for lunch as we were in the "old neighborhood". Was so looking forward to a combo juicy hot and it was exceptional. When I lived in Harwood Heights I'd come here riding my bike and 48 years + it never changed. Enjoyed the Arlington Heights location too in later years and will continue to come back here again and again! Simply awesome beef!

Jay's is the move. Great food, fast, friendly. A classic spot with the wall decor/history to prove it. Beef is cut thin and fries are made fresh. What more could you want?

Top-notch beef with flavor that actually lives up to the hype--and, unlike Portillo's, they're not stingy with the portion! Named one of Chicago's top three beef sandwiches by Chicago Magazine, and yeah, they earned it. This spot's got that neighborhood vibe nailed, so I'll be back. All-around solid experience!

On recommendation from Facebook, I decided to give this place a try. I even told the man behind the counter. They have a nice size parking lot. I walked in and order a beef, dipped with hot peppers and fries. As I waited for my food, I noticed the place was a little dark, but once my eyes adjusted it was fine. They have a little gaming nook also. I unwrapped my sandwich and it was piping hot and dipped just right. The beef was tender and flavorful, with a delicious giardiniera that had a nice heat. Bite after bite the bread slowly gave way to the juicy beef. No complaints from me. I know to ask for extra hot giardiniera the next time. The fries were crispy and fluffy. They were well salted and hot. Looking forward to my next sandwich from this place.

As soon as I walked in to this little neighborhood eatery, I was immediately assaulted by the smell of garlicky Italian beef. I opted for a "juicy" beef sandwich, my buddy a sweet double sausage. Both were Very hearty. I didn't think I'd be able to eat more than a third, but it was so good I ate the whole dang thing. Battered onion rings were spot on. The place was clean in the middle of lunch rush. I really liked that is was a group of guys in the kitchen, not a bunch of random teenagers. A well-oiled team. The only negative? They don't sell their cool shirts.

Before flying back to Florida & I had to grab me some Italian Beef & I'm glad I stopped in to Jay's. I got it with hot & sweet peppers plus provolone cheese. It was packed with beef & oh so delicious! The guys working the counter were cool. I definitely will be back the next time I fly in!
