text: As you may have guessed I am not Italian nor am I from Chicago having said that I have been to Chicago I do love a good Roast Beef sandwich with Giardineira I was so excited to try Als I ordered the Dipped Big Al with extra Beef large Buffalo Bleu Fries I was disappointed nnThe Big Al even with extra beef is not huge The quality of the roast beef is better than most bars but cooked close to mediumwell The Buffalo Bleu Fries were soggy the flavors do not blend well together it tastes just like it sounds it is French Fries with Buffalo wing sauce a thin Bleu Cheese dressing poured randomly over them They tasted like something a drunk bachelor or high school student would make not something to be sold at a real restaurant On the good side I loved the flavor of their home made Giardineira spicy peppers the staff was very helpful friendly nnMy idea of a Italian Beef sandwich is a fat butter grilled roll tons of medium rare Roast Beef tasty Giardineira peppers a big cup of Au Jus on the side The Buffalo Bleu Fries could have been made better by just topping the Fries with a decent Buffalo Wing sauce Bleu Cheese crumbles I also think they should use a higher fryer temperature so the fries are crispy on the outsidennAls Chicago Italian Beef is just a okay restaurant not a great one They have a huge menu I have only tried those items I think I will give them another chance after they have been opened longerbecause a friendly staff goes a long way in my book
