Roma’s Italian Beef & Sausage

Ordered a cheeseburger for my adult son and he said the burger was just ok no flavor but the bun was delicious. I had a Maxwell polish and it was fine. The fries were terrible, they were over cooked and left a greasy taste. I've never seen fries made like this. They were thin strips of potato's, it's almost as if they used a peeler to make the fries. I don't remember the fries like this before. Also, they do not accept cards only cash or venmo.

Was near Roma's and haven't stopped by in a long time, wanted a good Italian beef, say no more. Definitely a great Chicago Neighborhood Vibe...One of Owner's was taking orders...Asked what I was in the mood for, "I said, a million bucks!" He said " Me too!"We laughed & dreamed...ordered the 6" Italian Beef with Sweet Peppers. Never mentioned whether I wanted dry or baptized, but gave me a perfect sandwich. I could handle the bun without worrying it would fall apart, not that I don't mind, but would need additional napkins. Certainly hit the spot, looking forward to trying their pizza next time...Looked delicious. "El Stool Presidente" would give it an 8.1, I'm sure! Cheers & Mangia!

Absolutely first-rate Italian Beef, on par with the best joints. Lots of beef on my sandwich, tender, juicy, flavorful. Fries a thin and a little greasy, but fresh and hot, they really hit the spot. Yum.

Great place - cash only but if looking for a spicy beef that has red pepper flakes flavor this is your spot!

Went for some Chicago dogs and had the best time. The food was so delicious, and they did not skimp on the celery salt. Shoestring fries, perfectly seasoned. Watermelon Italian ice was fresh watermelon flavored. Service was excellent and timely. A great summer vibe.

Ordered the beef sausage combo but was odd ordering. For card you send a venmo. Also ordered giardiniera on the beef but somehow the cashier thought it meant a separate jar of the giardiniera they sell and none was on the beef. Didn't have time to try and explain and receive venmo refund. The sausage in the beef was pretty bad and seemed undercooked. Otherwise the beef itself was pretty great and had good flavor. Pry just a bad first try I'd give them another shot but won't be rushing back.

04/13/21 - Roma's Italian Beef locate on Cicero Ave just south of Montrose Ave is next door to U Haul. This is right down the street on Cicero yet I can't remember the last time I ate here. This review is based on their namesake the Italian Beef & Sausage sandwich. Roma's is a tiny little Ma & pa restaurant w/an assortment of fast food sandwiches. Their beef/Italian sausage is pretty good. I don't mean to be rude but I have had better beefs before. Still the owner was very friendly

great food. great people working there. brought my family in from Denmark. absolutely loved it!! I'll be back

I hate to give such a low review to a privately owned business. I used to eat here as a child and it was great. But the lack of quality and competence of the workeds at this place today, is just absurd. We ordered 3 beefs, all with different specifications on juice, cheese, peppers, and asked for giardinera on the side of one. Not one was made correctly. All had giardinera on top, meaning my two kids couldn't eat it due to the spice.Ordered two steak sandwiches. They were terrible. I mean inedible. After one bite mine went on the trash. Fries were so over cooked and dry. They were hollow shells. Pizza puffs and mozarella sticks were clearly old. The taste was very off, and the beef juice coating them didn't help. For the packaging, one steak sandwich was not wrapped. It had the inner wrapped folded around it once and was tossed into the bag, meaning it literally just fell apart all over the bag. The paper they use has zero absorption. There was beef juice on everything. I don't understand how since only one sandwich was dipped. The brown bag was disintegrating by the time we got it home. The fries were spilled out everywhere. We paid over 100 dollars for junk we couldn't eat.

Beats Johnnie's on North Avenue and the original Al's on Taylor for hot and wet beef in these categories:1. Dip flavor - far more depth of flavor.2. Giardiniera - wonderful complexity of heat and vegys.3. Ambiance - the husband wife team that own and run Roma's are joyful, kind, and always HAPPY and UPBEAT.4. Parking and accessibility.The only downside is they don't take credit cards. I'd happily pay a premium for the convenience but the quality of product and experience trumps the hassle.
