Beef Villa

A clean, open, cook to order fast food place. The chicken is superb, fast service, good prices, drive thru, plenty of parking. Can get a little busy at lunch time, the drive thru can get slightly backed up, remember, most of the food is cooked to order. Try the chilly fries...you'll be hooked.

My wife and I really liked the food here and we think it was some of the best food we ever had - American food that is.. it was definitely a place where we will go again!

After numerous stops here, I figured I'd give my take on some of the food:

Italian Beef:  Average.  I don't feel like there is enough seasoning on the beef.  Even with the addition of peppers and/or cheese, its just a wet mess most of the time.

Italian Sausage:  Pretty tough to go wrong with Italian Sausage unless you burn it.  Rarely does it happen here.

Hamburgers:  Pretty good charbroiled burgers.  Customize it the way you want and you will be happy.

Cheese Fries:  Hands down, best in the area.  Go on Friday's for half-priced cheese fries.  Speaking of Friday's........................

Friday Fish Fry:  I have looked long and hard for a good fish fry in the Elgin area, and have had a tough time, largely due to my desire for perch.  Beef Villa offers perch on Friday's and it is remarkably good.  This is what I normally go here for now (and get half-priced cheese fries on Fridays).

All in all, its a typical beef shop.  Nothing great, but there are certainly worse places out there.
