. "I should have known better that since the Cubs have spring training in Arizona, there must be a Chicago eatery around. And there is one- one that I actually saw on tv once!\n\nThankfully it was Al's beef.\n\nGo up, order, and they call your order when it's ready. I got a Big Al, w/cheese and hot peppers- dipped. Also got a side of chili-chese fries.\n\nThe place was big and clean, and of course, had the classic \"Welcome to Chicago\" slogan on the front door. I couldn't imagine it any other way.\n\nThe sandwich was literally the best I have had. The bread was soaked but still held up as I chomped it. The peppers were finely chopped and gave it a great flavor that I cannot compare it too.\n\nThe only thing that prevented me from giving this place 5 stars was the huge Pepsi machine they had...\n\nI think too for the price, you get a great deal.\n\nThe place isn't limited to beef, so keep that in mind if you are looking for something else to chomp on!"^^ .
