While my fav place for lunch (Antonio's Pizza) was closed for Spring cleaning, I reluctantly sought lunch elsewhere. Decided to try The Beef Stand a couple of days. Nothing special. Definitely a no frills place that lends itself better to take out than dining in. Staff was friendly one day; different people and less friendly the other. Chicago dog was decent and the Maxwell Street Polish Sausage was okay. The Philly Cheesesteak was subpar and the fries are fast food string types of no special note. Reuben was good. It's okay.
