Decent Italian beef... cash only. The opposite of fancy, this place looks like it's about to go out of business... but no, my friends, In fact I am told by the locals they have the best italian beef in town, and are quite popular! I will say I liked my sandwich, and the hot pepper relish was good- spicy but not too hot. But I wouldnt say it was the best I've ever had. It was good...and worth a visit. But take it for what it is... Also, they are CASH only, which is annoying.

where's the beef?. Nice place if you like foodborne illness. Ick! You're safer at Al's or frankly most of the mom and pops in the city consideing they all buy the same stuff (e.g. presliced Vienna beef and either Marconi or Il Primo Giardiniera and Turano;s or Gonnella--I mean how different can it be?) Gottta love food network for providing fake hype and marketing for what boils down to a reheated product from a restaurant supply vendor. I swear it's like music, people just take what's handed to them by the media. Good luck with that!

The Truthful Truth About Mr. Beef on Orleans. Visited yesterday, after read suggestions for a "real" traditional eating place and excellent italian beef. Reality quite different...if "traditional" means doubtful cleaning, unsympathetic approach and 15 USD for a mediocre sandwich + fries + soda menu You are in the right place!

Best Italian Beef Sandwich in the US. We're pretty sure, anyway - it was awesome. The shop is tiny and the guys behind the counter are characters. Lose the snobby attitude if you have one - they won't stand for it, and neither will the rest of the patrons. This is the kind of place that people frequent - once you go, you want to go back. Get your beef with sweet or hot peppers - we can't decide which is better.
