Beef Shack — Restaurant in Addison Township

My family and I tried this restaurant, recently opened in Wood. Dale.

The atmosphere was great! I really liked the decor. It did not feel like the building was previously a Burger King, at all. Nicely done on the inside. It was very clean and well lit. Each table has paper towel rolls. Made it convenient. Very easy to order at the front and customer service was great. Prices were very fair.

After ordering, it took literally minutes to get our food. Barely await after getting fountain drinks.

We loved the food was great! We tried the garlic beef sandwich which was Italian beef on garlic bread topped with a bunch of cheese.... Delicious. The bread was nice and wet from the beef, just like it should be, I absolutely loved the garlic bread. It was a nice addition to an Italian beef sandwich.

We also tried a bacon cheeseburger. The burger had great flavor, tasty bacon and fresh ingredients. It had a little bit of Chipotle mayo, but that's about it in the way of sauces. I like a saucy sandwich, but I would get that burger again and sauce it up!

We got a large fry and that was more than enough for the family to share. The fries seemed very fresh, but absolutely no salt. Thankfully they had salt packets. We also tried it with the beef shack sauce. It was a pre-made cup and I'm not sure what the flavor was, but it wasn't bad.

The family decided we will absolutely be back here again to try a few new things. They have a very simple menu, in the best way. Not overwhelming, just some really good Staples: beef sandwiches, burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, fries and shakes. The shakes come in chocolate and vanilla. We didn't try them this time, but...

I went through the drive thru and the service was good. I ordered a mini cheezy beef with hot peppers, mini fries, and a Chicago hot dog. The mini cheezy beef was very underwhelming both in size, flavor, and cheese to beef ratio. I'd rather pay the $1.10 more for a Portillo's beef that's of good size, good flavor, and full of beef. I'd rate the beef 3/5. The fries were on point though and fully cooked with good salt unlike other reviews. I'd rate the fries 5/5. The Chicago dog was nothing extraordinary but had all the right ingredients and flavor. I'd rate the dog 5/5. What I really liked was their $1 hot dog special every Tuesday that's worth the trip. I'd go back and try their other offerings including $1 shakes every Saturday but...

Just got back from NEW Wooddale Beef Shack..ordered two beefs to go..wet..or dipped whatever..but juicy.. Got home omg dry... way too dry..and meat less then we ever got at other beef shacks.. The two bread ends were hard..and no meat ..no juice..and that is NOT what we paid for..I called..talked to a gal..she seemed not interested..really. We are in the their neighborhood.....and we talk to others.. If this place is going to succeed. They have to tune into what people order. Mistakes do happen..but.. The worse dry beef sandwiches we ever had..unacceptable.. Not going back..and it will not last there til they get it right.. Thanks for...
