LaPapa's Italian Beef & Sausage

Reviews & Tips

  Don't take the three stars as a negative interview.  As far as Chicago-style hot dog and italian beef huts goes, this place fits the bill.  Its cheap, greasy, and tasty.  Nothing really stood out as being fantastic, hence why this place isn't taking any more stars from me.  Its a neighborhood place great for a quick bite.
  
  I will say that for a beef and hot dog hut, this place is exceptionally clean which is a welcome change and makes the whole experience very enjoyable.

  I had high expectations walking into this place, but was very disappointed after finishing my meal. I ordered a cheese burger and fries and the total was under $5 which I was pleased with.
  
  After just a 5 minute walk home, my fries were cold (I actually had to re-heat them) and the bottom bun was so soggy I couldn't eat it. While the meat was good the quality of everything else was lacking.

  I couldn't wait for them to open we really needed this type of place in this area. I went there the first week they opened ordered 5 hot dog special,2 cheese fries and a polish sausage. I can't tell you how disappointed we were the buns were all "wet" not just steamed noone ate the buns. The fries were not cooked and the cheese was very funny tasting.I want to return again but that was alot of monet to throw away.My polish sausage I didn't care for the grilled onions with relish and mustard,tomotoes.I think they should of been raw..but the buns were the worst.....

  I was wondering when something would happen with that little shack at 111th & Pulaski.  I was excited to see a new option for Beef in the neighborhood.  I was expecting more.  The parking lot was completely full and we had to wait for a spot.  The beef here is just okay.  It is not the juiciest, nor is it the tastiest I've had.  The meat was a pale gray color, I guess to reflect the taste.  The portions were also very small.  I ate my beef sandwich, and an order of gravy bread and was not full.  In the few blocks it took me to drive home, my beef was cold, the mozz cheese was still in slice form because it had not melted.  The fries are your standard frozen crinkle cut, not impressed.  
  
  What was great was the gravy bread.  Absolutely delicious, and unlike the beef sandwich, had a lot of flavor.  I will absolutely go back for a few orders of $1 gravy bread!  
  
  To give you some perspective of this review, I'm not impressed with Pop's or Marco's either.  Pepino's, formerly of Cal City and now in Schererville, IN, is the ultimate beef sandwich, and like a lot of IL residents, I still drive out there for my beef fix.

  Decent food, clean enviroment -friendly workers.
  
  Beef is decent but Marco's on 111th near Western is WAY better. THey make theirs home-made on premises and totally outshines this place.
  
  I would go back for a hot dog but head to Marco's for a beef.
