| - Why have I waited so long to try this place?!
One rare night while partaking in some Carson Street livations I walk by Tootie's and noticed the short line out the door. I though of some of the Yelp reviews of the place and decided to give it a try.
Once inside I realized that it was pretty much a take out shop as there really isn't anywhere to sit other than one small table which was already taken. If you can't decide which meat to get you can ask for a free sample to help make up your mind.
Your choices are four different types of sandwiches:
Famous Italian Beef (Slow-Roasted, Shredded, Seasoned Beef) available in 4, 6 or 12" sizes.
Hot Sausage (Uncle Charley's gourmet hot sausage) on a 6" hoagie bun.
Tooties Famous Chicken (Slow-Roasted, Shredded, Seasoned Chicken) also available in 4, 6 or 12" sizes.
Specialty Sandwiches which are a combination of two or more meats, available in 6 or 12" sizes.
Since the place is called Tootie's Famous Italian Beef, that's what I decided to go with. I went with the 6" Juicy Italian Beef hoagie filled with Italian Beef, Giardiniera, and Provolone Cheese. I flew home to eat it as the smell was intoxicating. Let me just say that it was not only the best Italian Beef sandwich I have ever had but, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had period!
Tootie's Famous Italian Beef is a great sandwich to help you sober up after a night of bar hopping on Carson Street and is something different than going to Primanti's which everyone does.
I highly recommend this place. Five stars!
