Clark St. (773) 935-2333 alsbeef.com Al’s Italian Beef AMERICAN For over 80 years, Al’s Italian Beef has been serving food as real as its story and is made the same at 3420 N. Clark Street as it was back in 1938. Al’s Beef is dry roasted in-house daily, simmering for over 4 hours in a secret recipe blend of 19 different, 100% pure spices, then sliced so thin you can see through it, piled high from fork to bread. The au jus or “gravy” as Al calls it, gives the beef its unique, craveable flavor. Order your beef dry or have it the way most of Al’s connoisseur’s prefer, wet or “dipped”, right in the gravy. Top it all off with homemade giardiniera and sweet peppers. Save room for other menu favorites including Al’s char-grilled Italian sausage, Polish or Chicago style hot dog, add a specialty burger, chicken sandwich, wrap, tamale or salad and complete your meal with Al’s fresh-cut fries.
