Roma's Italian Beef & Sausage

Took the non Chicagoan girlfriend here for her first beef ever. I have been coming here since I was a kid and still think its the best beef in town. New owners, same great food-- get your beef smothered in juice and enjoy with just-right fresh cut fries.

Average Beef. Under New Management, Not the same!

As a self proclaimed beef connoisseur, I am a bit of a snob.  Also, I grew up on the old Roma's Italian Beef & Sausage.  So, I do not have an unbiased opinion towards Italian beef. That being said, the following is a review solely on the beef.
Ron the old owner had a signature recipe, which died when he sold the establishment. The building might have been worth $270,000 but that signature Au jus sauce and seasoning is priceless. Fred (who seemed like the current owner) told me: we don't plan on changing the old menu, just adding to it. I want to keep the old, old and just add new. ..

This apparently is not the case because; I don't see any essence of the original sandwich in the current version.  Don't get me wrong it is an O.K. Beef. Not even close to what it once was. The pure fact that it motivated me, to write my first Yelp review, should speak volumes.  I will not be returning purely as homage to my favorite childhood restaurant.

Same great beef sandwiches and fries, bigger and better menu selections, a little less dingy looking, and a new owner and employees who actually seem to appreciate your business.  'Nuff said...
