Fran's Beef

Reviews & Tips

  Still happy that Fran's Beef is around.  They have recently updated the exterior and interior and continue to serve great American fare.
  
  Recently I've branched out into trying some of their breakfast items and found the gyro omlets awesome.  I love this place!

  This is the cooleset little ma' and pop shop ever! The prices are superb even if you are on a budget you will probably walk away with change. The owners are always working so you know the food is in top quality. The all day breakfast dishes are a plus. This place opens at 5AM daily, 6AM Saturday and closed on Sundays. Try their breakfast plate of 2 eggs, Bacon, Sausage Patties or Ham and comes with hashbrowns and toast for $3.75

  This is not a destination spot, but if you are in the Pilsen neighborhood you can't go wrong for a quick bite here.  They do breakfast (all day) and lunch.  Burgers, Beef, Hot Dogs, Gyros, Pizza by the slice, Po' boys its all here.  The prices are ridiculously low and the owner is a great guy.

  Fran's is a hidden gem. I, too, would have passed it by if it wasn't next to where I work. I have come to love it more and more as the time passes.
  Hot dog and fries= $1.97. Just got this again today and I feel guilty on a nutritional level, but I'll get over it.
  You don't come to Fran's for atmosphere. It's ugly and small, but oh well! You come here for cheap, greasy food (of which they have an eerily huge variety for a hot dog stand) and to watch trashy daytime TV while you eat.
  Everyone comes together at Fran's- Its run by a Polish guy in a Mexican neighborhood, and I have seen everyone from college girls to construction workers to the food service workers from the school next door (when they're sick of the food they serve) come here to eat.

  MMMMMMM.... delicious.
  
  I work right across the street, so it's a great place to grab lunch when you haven't brought anything from home.
  
  Friendly staff, a few tables - an overall hole in the wall hotdog/Italian beef place.  The food is uber cheap (about $3.50 for a hot dog, fries and a pop) and it's a fun place to go when you're in a hurry.  
  
  My kind of place, for sure.  
  
  Update of sorts: $2.76 for a large french fries and a large pop!!
