Frankie's Chicago Kitchen at Marina Bunch in St. Augustine, Florida, is a culinary gem that offers a taste of the Windy City right on the waterfront. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of sampling their mixed Italian beef sandwich, along with a side of their famous gyro fries, and I must say, it was a dining experience to remember.
The mixed Italian beef sandwich was a true standout, bursting with fresh flavor and deliciousness in every bite. The tender beef, perfectly seasoned and thinly sliced, was piled high on a soft roll and topped with peppers, onions, and a savory au jus that added a rich depth of flavor. It was a true taste of Chicago's iconic sandwich, executed with precision and care.
Accompanying the sandwich were the gyro fries, a culinary masterpiece in their own right. Each fry was perfectly crisp, serving as the ideal canvas for layers upon layers of flavorful gyro toppings. From the tender meat to the tangy tzatziki sauce and crisp vegetables, every component worked together harmoniously to create a symphony of flavors that left me craving more.
However, what truly set Frankie's Chicago Kitchen apart was the hospitality and warmth of Frankie himself. His passion for his craft was evident in every dish he served, and his friendly demeanor added to the overall dining experience.
In conclusion, Frankie's Chicago Kitchen is a must-visit destination for anyone craving authentic Chicago-style cuisine in St. Augustine. With delicious offerings like the mixed Italian beef sandwich and gyro fries, as well as the welcoming atmosphere created by Frankie himself, it's no wonder this establishment has become a...

Read moreIf you’re craving authentic Chicago-style Italian beef, Frankie’s Chicago Beef is the place to go! Located in the heart of European Village, this spot stands out as one of the few in the area serving up true Chicago flavors—and probably the best you’ll find around.
We ordered the Italian Beef Combo and the Chili Cheese Dog Combo, and both were fantastic. The Italian beef was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, while the chili cheese dog had just the right amount of heat and richness. The shoestring fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned, making for an excellent side.
The atmosphere is another plus. European Village has a lively energy, often featuring live music in the center, which adds to the dining experience. On top of that, the service was excellent—the staff was friendly, and the owner even came by to check on us, which made our visit feel even more welcoming.
