Nestled in the heart of Chicago, Novi's Beef is a haven for those seeking a quintessential taste of Windy City's culinary heritage. With their delightful array of Novi's Classics, this charming eatery takes you on a nostalgic journey through the flavors that define Chicago's dining scene. My recent visit to Novi's Beef left me thoroughly impressed and craving for more.

From the moment I stepped into Novi's Beef, I was transported to a time when food was simple yet undeniably comforting. The inviting aroma of freshly prepared dishes filled the air, setting the stage for a delightful dining experience. As I perused the menu, the Novi's Classics section caught my eye, promising an authentic taste of Chicago's culinary legacy.

After much anticipation, I decided to go for the iconic "Italian Beef Sandwich" - a staple that every Chicagoan knows and loves. One bite into the perfectly seasoned, thinly sliced beef piled high on a soft Italian roll, soaked in savory au jus, and topped with sweet and tangy peppers was enough to confirm that Novi's Beef truly excels at capturing the essence of this classic dish. It was a harmonious blend of flavors that left me thoroughly satisfied.

But it wasn't just the mouthwatering food that made my experience at Novi's Beef memorable; it was the impeccable service provided by a waitress named Jessica that truly stood out. With her warm and friendly demeanor, Jessica made our dining experience truly exceptional. Her knowledge of the menu and her genuine enthusiasm for the dishes they served made us feel like valued guests.

Novi's Beef is a testament to the art of preserving culinary traditions while delighting taste buds with timeless flavors. From the hearty Italian Beef Sandwich to their other Novi's Classics, every dish is prepared with meticulous care and a deep appreciation for the culinary heritage they represent.

In conclusion, if you're in search of an authentic taste of Chicago's culinary heritage, Novi's Beef is a must-visit destination. Their Novi's Classics are a tribute to the city's culinary legacy, and each bite takes you on a journey through the rich history of Windy City's dining scene. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Jessica, you're in for a treat, as her warm hospitality and genuine passion for the food will make your dining experience all the...

I've been eating Italian beef sandwiches ever since I came to Chicago in 1997. You can say that I am a connoisseur of Italian beef sandwiches. I drove past this place and saw the billboard across the street that had an advertisement for this place saying that it was voted one of the best sandwiches in Illinois. I was quite skeptical but of course it was quite the enticement to try one of their sandwiches. Two days later which is today I had just the normal Italian beef dipped with the giardiniera peppers and I was pretty blown away.

Two things I would improve upon this sandwich though... more giardiniera peppers, and the meat was a bit too shredded. Imagine however that this place probably has some level of inconsistency just like any other restaurant and perhaps this sandwich is better as I've described on other days. Oh... and it actually wasn't dipped enough I'm not sure if they actually dipped it actually. When I say dipped I mean dipped. Not to complain too much though it had enough of the juice in the bread to make it worth it.

Course I'm nitpicking, the truth is that their sandwiches are still far better than most of the places I've been to all over the Chicagoland area.

The fries were perfect! these are real fresh cut potato...

7.10.18 Nothing beats a Provolone Mushroom burger well done (highly recommended) with nothing but mustard form here, add a hot dog with fries and you have a great, quick take home dinner.

9/17/17 Uh oh I ordered a Combo sausage/Italian beef with large fries then a Fish sandwich (no tartar sauce) with small fries. The order taker seemed like she was paying attention to the customer before me for some odd reason than taking my order. When I finally got home I had only a Combo sausage/Italian beef a Fish sandwich (no tartar sauce) and a large order of fries. No separate order of small fries at all. Obviously Sunday is not a good day to go.

The BBQ Beef is recommended goes Great with the Pizza Puff and fries! Easy parking and quick customer service. I went back because I really wanted to try three items: Hot dog onion rings and the chili. I got a small chili and it was fantastic, not too spicy and not bland. The Onion rings were cooked just right and were good dipped in the chili. The hot dogs themselves were seasoned and topped correctly the Chicago way, but the bun was hard so it kinda put off the...

Well, that's a really good beef.... First thing is this italian beef condom they've made to hold in the juice and, wow, just an immediate puddle on the bag, like I grabbed another paper bag to put under the supplied bag in addition to the foil wrapping from the beef to control the juice and it still got though the 2nd bag. Damn, that's a lot of beef for $6.90 🤯 (plain) Like I said in the Original Nottoli on Belmont Ave, where else are you going to find such a good beef for under $7, just barely here, but still. Shredded beef that almost melts in your mouth, which might off put someone who really likes a beef with some chew, but they're wrong in this case. Great spice heat and deeply seasoned flavor. The roll stays together despite being drenched in juice. I wanted to dislike this place for the distance, but it was well worth the trip. Fluffy fries, with good crispness, still good even after traveling with the bag rolled up. 4.75/5 I still think Michael's beef sandwich was better, but this has got to be tied or just under Johnnie's beef sandwich(EP), the fries are far super to Johnnie's shoestring fries.

I really never anticipated this or even wanted to do a review like this. Spent $150 to have beef and sausage shipped to me, there was a major issue that caused me to lose everything I ordered. I contacted them, super respectfully and it still took me days to get any kind of response and when I did, it sounded an awful lot like I was being called a liar. Never heard back again, did nothing to make it right, just screw the customer that trusted them as a business and am out the $150. Cool. Shame I used to absolutely love Novi’s. 4 generations of my family have called Lyons home and we have all gone here for decades. Sad to have lost all that. Would had this order shipped at least once a month now that I have moved. Sad to know that a place I have been going to my whole life could’ve cared less that there was a problem. Guess loyalty means nothing in 2025. Places aren’t what they used to be. Sadly, I guess it’s Portillo’s for shipping from now on.

Edit 3/10/23 : little ticked after asking for extra giardinara and getting a small dollop in the center of the sandwhich and the end of the sandwich not even having beef on it. Picture for comparison from last time to this time. I even asked twice they remembered the extra giardinara. I dont mind paying for it, I'm not asking for handouts here. WOW. This may be one of the best beef sandwiches I have ever had. It is right up there with Al's beef. First time customer here. The customer service was very friendly. It was only 20$ for a big beef sandwich, huge serving of fresh hot tasty fries, mozzeralla sticks, and a HUGE container of macaroni salad. All of which was delicious. I can't believe I've passed by this place so many times without even knowing it was there. If you are in the area, I HIGHLY recommend to stop in and grab a beef sandwich. This is Chicago done right!!
