Second Best

by shikago at Citysearch

Still a good choice for Italian beef. The last time I ate there, the spice mix seemed extremely toned down. I miss the " old " sandwich.

  • Pros: Downtown
  • Cons: Parking

One of the Best

by evh99 at Citysearch

Finally had a chance to eat at Luke's after hearing so much about their Italian Beef. I was very pleased with the Sandwich. Beef was tender and well seasoned. Bread was perfect and then "dipped". Overall, an excellent Sandwich. I have tried a number of different places looking for a great Italian Beef, and Luke's is at the top of the list. The fries were great too!

  • Pros: Nice Atmosphere, Great Sandwich
  • Cons: Lack of Parking

In Short
Luke's is decorated in the standard Americano-Italiano style: red chairs and red-and-white checked tablecloths, with green, red, and white signs on the walls. These guys don't stray far from the original formula for Italian beef--moist and subtly spiced meat cradled in a long roll. Try it naked, with no peppers, cheese or red sauce to distract the tastebuds. Along with the beef, Luke's offers pasta, Chicago-style pizza and weekly specials like a pepper-and-egg sandwich.
