A Mook Eatery Review - Beef Shack (not a strip club)

[Mook]

Press play while reading for a touch of class.



Two locations - Hoffman and St. Charles. For this review, I was at the St Chuck location.

Beef Shack

The menu is simple and to the point. Italian beef, hot dogs and one burger option. Oh, and salads if you have a vagina.

What I ate -

Regular size Cheezy Beef, fries with a side of shack sauce.

Was it good?

It was the best italian beef I have ever had. The bread is coated with butter on the inside. The beef was juicy and flavorful. The bread remained firm but not overly crunchy and had just enough "soggy" to be a perfect mixture.

The fries reminded me of Five Guys, which I love, so those were good too. The shack sauce tasted kind of like a McDonalds secret sauce and was nice to dip the sandwich in.

Pricing

I think I paid 12 bucks. A bit pricey but the quality of food was great and I left feeling very full. Like thanksgiving full. They offer a "mini" option on the sandwich but what am I, a bitch? No. No I am not.

How many Mook stars -

This place replaced the zippys on roselle/Higgins. It is pretty good. I enjoyed it.

I work close and been there a few times. Super greasy everything, but the taste is awesome. Love the place, but it should only be visited on cheat day. Pricing is a bit high too.

I have been there once and for the love of god cannot explain why i have not gone back. i probably just keep forgetting it is there.

i say this is the next TCG occupy place.

i was thinking chipotle for lunch tomorrow. but i may change that now.

Pics?

 

[FESTER665]

I sent her this review and asked her if we could get a discount if we do an occupy beef shack day and she's forwarding it to the owner.

It's the same guy who used to own Zippys, she used to be the manager at the Streamwood one...

 

[Mook]

Well hot damn!

Location on roselle and Higgins. Not barrington and schaumburg

 

[RICH17]

[Shocker]

I've had it before when I worked in Geneva years back. I really like it, but just too far away now.

 

[boostedguy05]

ooooohhhhhh well then

Still now horribly far. Just take Schaumburg down.

Barring ton and Schaumburg location is now a pit... Totally leveled.
