Yuck, the Italian beef  was the worst I have ever had, think rubber on some bread. I noticed a sign on the wall, Papa Charlies Italian beef, who the #%#@ is Papa Charlie and what is he doing in Chicago?...even worse was eating inside that place.
There was a woman with the most annoying loud voice that did not shut up the entire time.
Absolutely my new spiritual home.
I've been back several times and still haven't managed to get anything other than the bacon cheese burger because it is SO. GOOD.
Fresh, real bacon! Â That they cooked in front of you! Â And the burger itself is no slouch. Â Big and cooked medium-well, it is very, very much my taste. Â Whenever I'm in the mood for a burger, this is definitely the place. Â Forget Five Guys or any of the other gourmet or lunch counter burger places. Â If you want a fantastic burger and fresh-cut fries, hit this place up. Â You will NOT be sorry.
This place is awesome..I just wish that when you order for delivery,they give you at least somewhat of an estimated total price so you could have a tip amount prepared..on one occasion,the delivery driver complained about me not having the tip in hand,but I didn't even know my total amount,so of course my tip wasn't ready! I found him to be very rude..other than that,.i love this place
Review Source:Everything is cooked fresh to order. All the meats are cooked just right. Juicy, fresh, and delicious. I really like their Chicken Pita. They have some of the biggest cut fries I have ever seen-- not frozen, cut from potatoes. Just great. I have to get a shake whenever I'm in too (Chocolate Oreo).
I really like the owner and his staff. Works his butt off, everything is prepared with very good quality, and he's a nice guy. I love Portillo's, but I prefer this 9 times out of 10.
My boyfriend and I decided to make a pit stop here when we were in the neighborhood. The Yelp reviews sounded too good to be true because I love burgers AND we had been trying to find decent gyros. This place was definitely what you would call a hole-in-the-wall. The staff were nice enough and we also met the old Greek grandma who lives next door. Later when we left she offered us a package of her own homemade Greek cake and invited us to the Greek Festival the next weekend. But I digress.
We ordered the bacon cheeseburger and gyro sandwich. I was underwhelmed by the burger. The bacon was good but the rest of the burger was just average. I think a change in the type of bun used would make a huge difference. The gyro sandwich was very good. The meat wasn't too greasy and it was a good-sized portion. My only complaint is that they put too much of the yogurt sauce on the gyro. The fresh cut fries, which come with every order, were hot and crispy but not as wonderful as the reviews would have you believe. Would I come back? Yes but only to see the nice Greek grandma.
My boyfriend and I always go here when I am craving a philly cheese steak. It is cooked to perfection and it's so big I end up not being able to walk out of there. The fries are freshly cooked, but lately they have been loosing their taste. Seeing as they have good business the owner should invest in heating during the winter because you really can't enjoy your food thinking you might catch pneumonia. Other than that the food is great, friendly service, and affordable prices.
Review Source:This joint is next door to Susie's. Â There are reasons to go to Susie's. Â But if you want a burger or gyros, go to Beef & Burger. Â
The 5 stars are because I come only for gyros or burgers and they're both perfect here. Â And if you like cool old Greek men, platonically, or I guess s*xually as well, there's another perk coming to B&B. Â The milkshakes are good too...and the reasonably priced sandwiches all come with fries. Â No fast food fries...hand cut potatoes that are dank. Â They deliver too now but as I'm a block away I don't need it and can't review that aspect.
I'm an expert on cheeseburgers, and for better or worse, I eat one almost every day.
Due to my high volume intake, I was pretty damn surprised to find that the bacon cheeseburger I had at Beef & Burger might be one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had. The meat and bun are sit-down restaurant quality.
After considering what I just wrote, plus the friendly customer service of the owner, the always free french fries, and the relative low cost, I have to give this place 5 stars.
I was craving a good burger on a Sunday afternoon and being new to the area I checked on Yelp for something close by. Â Stumbled onto Beef & Burger and could not have been more satisfied. Â The shop is very small with just a few places to sit along the windows or outside if it's nice out but for me it's better to order and enjoy it at home. Â Ordered the double cheeseburger with fries (all sandwiches come with fries) and it was very tasty and made well. Â Just the right amount of vegis and condiments and the fries were thick and also very good. Â The older gentleman (the owner probably) behind the counter was super nice and seemed genuinely grateful for my business, which made the trip that much better because I like supporting places that care about their customers. Â I will definitely be back to try some other things on the menu.
Review Source:Just a quick update: Â dear husband sends me here frequently to get himself a cheeseburger, and reports it excellent. Â I can report good dogs and great gyros - ask Al to make it well done and you'll get almost 100% crispy goodness. Â Nobody's going here for health food, but for what it is, it's great. Â Open till 11pm when people want a cheeseburger late. Â Good shakes too.
Review Source:While discussing my love of Susie's cheese fries and my disappointment at the other food on the menu a friend suggested I try Beef and Burger. Â Which for some reason I had never noticed. Â
FInally tried it today and now regret the 7 years we have lived so close but never tasted it's totally unhealthy yet totally delicious goodness. Â
Beef and Sausage combo-the bread was soaked in the delicious juice and both meats had distinct flavor. Â Also tried the gyro and we finally have a gyro place we like in the neighborhood. Â And the fries. Â Huge, thick, hot, fresh cut fries. Â Totally blissed out. Â I still have leftovers in the fridge and look forward to heating them up in the toaster oven for dinner. Â Or maybe right now since they are back on my mind...
No it's not gourmet but nothing in that paper bag came out gross or overly greasy. Â
Prices were right, portions were huge and even the tomatoes were fresh and not soggy. Â The food took a long time but it was worth it. Â Now we have the menu so we can call ahead and try to beat the crowd that was gathered.
Not a bad little burger joint! Â I wouldn't put it in the category of "best kept secrets," but a nice little burger joint with good service, good food, and overall a decent experience. Â They have limited seating outside, but the staff was nice and the burgers were great for the price! Â The fries were a bit "eh"....but again, for the cost, the food was very good and in good sized servings. Â We went here when we found out Kuma's isn't doing carry-out anymore until the coming Fall, so I may have found a good alternative for carry out burgers.
Review Source:I often wondered how this place can stay open next to the legendary and more popular susies 40 ft away. after giving it a chance I see why. The owner/counter man is extremely friendly and accomadating. Â The taste and quality is vastly superior to susies and the customers arent a bunch of hoods. you can choose susies ghetto minimum wage single moms to be at the counter or you get Beef and Burgers sweet man who sounds like and resembles alan arkin. their polish is realy good outside of jimmy's. the beef is way better than most places in the area. really well dipped and smoky. the only thing susies has on them is the variety of shakes, but B&B has better QUALITY shakes. It seems that susies is trying to milk as much out of their customers as possible. From now on unless I want an usual flavor or something B&B doesnt carry I wont be going to susies. Support this well run business.
Review Source:I picked up some Italian Beef sandwiches and a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich on the way home the other day. My beef was good, but nothing special. Same with Christopher's Philly Cheese. Mom liked her beef sandwich as well and thought the meat portion was quite generous.
The service was very friendly and fries come free with the sandwiches. Next time I will try a burger for grins and giggles.
I had the double cheeseburger with fries.
The burger was very good. It was juicy and grilled just right. The toppings were fresh.
The fries were good home cut style. The flavor was really good and  cooked perfect.
It's a little small inside with a table along the window.
I look forward to returning and trying some of the other food.
I love Beef and Burger! Big Al and Mona are some of the nicest folks I know. The food is fresh, good quality and full of flavor. They are also now open late, open Sunday, offer delivery and take credit cards. Some of the household favs include cheeseburger, gyro, beef, pizza puff, Greek salad and fresh cut fries with cheese sauce. Also a big fan of their milkshakes with real fruit.
Review Source:Best burger joint around, hands down. Portions are huge, prices are cheap, shakes are cold and malty. Everything you'd expect from a corner burger place, lots of selection (from gyro's, triple cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and other munchies), and the friendly owner who always gets your order right...or he'll fix it. The perfect fix for when you're looking for a quick, tasty, and greasy (what? sometimes you want greasy!) meal.
They also offer delivery, but we have never taken advantage of this.
This is a great little place for burgers, hot dogs, gyros, and a number of other treats. The faded signs for gyros and fresh-cut fries along with the handwritten menu (which has a ton of choices at GREAT prices) give it a familiar feeling. Everything is made to order and comes with a generous helping of deliciously seasoned (if a tiny bit limp) fries. I recommend the gyros, but when they say "With everything?" ask for the dressing on the side. I think it's just Greek yogurt and not tzatziki, so it's not as easy to mix the meat up in it.
We've only ever had good service there. We always do take away because it's just a 5 minute walk, but I guess they also deliver. There's a nice little picnic table outside, only a few places to sit inside. Also, I don't think it's air conditioned (or if it is, it can't compete with the heat of the grill) so during the summer plan on eating outside or having it at home.
They do use styrofoam, so that's a bummer. But it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood.
Yummmmm.....the Greek salad with grilled chicken is to die for!!! Â The olive oil dressing will call you back over and over again. Â Also the grilled chicken sandwich on a Greek style pita. Â The seasoning they marinate the chicken in is outstanding. Â It leaves the chicken very moist and flavorful. Â Call ahead and have it ready and waiting.
Review Source:Best fries in Old Irving, and would be a good competitor in several other neighborhoods too. Â Just can't give 5 stars to a fast food joint but if I've eaten here once, I've eaten at least two dozen times. Â Al is a sweetheart and everything is made to order and comes at you HOT. Gyros are fantastic. Â Lucky it's within walking distance.
Review Source:Deee-lish!!! Â Great gyros, Italian beef, burgers and chili dogs.....but the fries, holy moses, are FANTASTIC (hand cut, skin-on, perfectly salted, mega-generous portions, served hot and 'free' with sandwiches). Â Nice, clean little place, friendly service, reasonable prices. Â This is pretty much 'to-go' only because there are no tables inside (there are chairs and a little ledge-counter, so you can eat in, just don't bring a crowd). Â I DO wish they were open a bit later (and they're CLOSED on Sundays), but the owner is always there when they are open, so I understand he needs a break. Â Food much better than Susie's, IMO.
Review Source:Heaven on earth is vanilla and chocolate swirled soft serve in a cone on a nice summer day. Â I crave twist cones every summer for two reasons. Â The first being that they are just delicious and second they remind me of my childhood and simpler times. Â I had been on a twist cone search only to find that McDonald's and Baskin Robins both don't have them, even though when I was younger they did. Â Which is slightly saddening. Â A friend of mine mentioned that Beef & Burger had them. Â Guess what....they do! Â B&B is my heaven on earth during the summer season.
Review Source:I finally made it in here after years of always going to the competition. Â I've been craving a real gyros that susie's never had and I was actually satisfied.
The fries are nice and fresh also. Â I only have one gripe is that they put the sauce on the pita and by the time I get to work to eat it...45 min. or so, the pita breaks apart. Â Its awesome fresh but next time I get it to eat later, I'll be sure to have the sauce on the side or on top of the meat.
I just wish they were open past midnite so I'd have an alternative place to go after work.
Beef & Burger holds its own, despite the stiff competition from Susie's across the street. Â Beef & Burger has a smaller menu than Susie's, but seriously, who doesn't? Â Their burgers are fantastic, and the fresh cut fries are fantastic. Â Your food is freshly prepared, and the staff couldn't be nicer. Â I'm a big fan.
Review Source:The chicken from this place is the best i've ever had. Â Even better then upscale restaurants. Â It's perfectly marinated in herbs and spices and never disappoints. Â You can have it on a pita (my favorite), a bun or in a salad. Â I get it so much the owner started suggesting other items on his menu every time he sees me (I promised him I would order something else). Â The fries are fresh and equally as delicious. Â The portions are generous (see pic). Â The place is small so I always take it to go. Â The owner is friendly and helpful, the service is fast, excellent prices, great food...what more could you ask for? Â Ever since I started frequenting this place, going down the street to Susie's has never crossed my mind.
Review Source:OK, i really DO love Susie's, but my one gripe--besides the slow service, which I admit is often worth it--is their sub-par gyros. Beef & Burger has solved that problem with its generous portion of succulent, spit-roasted meat, thinly sliced and perfectly seasoned. To top that off, it's served with a heaping side of rich, garlicky tzatziki studded with recognizable, still-crisp shreds of cucumber. order your cheese fries at susie's, hop over to B&B for a gyros and get back across the street just in time to grab your spuds fresh out of the fryer. delectable!
Review Source:Beef And Burger (formerly Golfo's) is my neighborhood Burger, hot dog, beef place. Their cheeseburgers are to die for. Their fresh cut fries are so good that I compare everyones fries to theirs. My Mom will eat no one elses fries. The owner who runs the register is so nice and is always friendly and courteous. Great fast food at great prices!
Just went again tonight on the way home and the chesseburger was excellent. Such a big burger for the price! And the owner and his wife are SO nice and friendly. Its always busy too which is nice to see. I hope they're doing well and stay in the neighborhood for a long time.
