Beef Shack > Portillos

[RedBeard]

I went to the one at Roselle & Higgins awhile ago, will have to go again now that I live a mile from it. Don’t recall it being that great though. But I give the crown for best beef sandwich to Jay’s beef (Shiller Park, Harwood Heights & North Ave/Western).

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Stopped in tonight.

Ordered;

1) Cheezy Beef
2) Cheeseburger
3) Cheese fries

1) Cheezy Beef was better than portillo's and obviously not skimped on quantity wise vs. the other establishment.

2) Cheeseburger was about equal. Bun is definetely better than the corn dusted thing Portillo's uses.

3) Cheese fries. Well, the fries I thought were better than Portillo's, the Wife disagreed. I did not get to sample the cheese because they forgot to put it in. I just can't win. Portillo's won't fill the fucking cup up, BS won't even give it to me...

The other issue. With the beef, they didn't put it in a plastic bag like Portillo's does. THe result... FUCKING grease all over the passenger seat in the Cadillac. So one more thing I have to clean up tonight.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Fucking Corpos are ruining Portillos

Beyond concerned

Will be making the drive to try Beef Shack.

I assure you, Portillo's has ZERO problems. Their drive through is completely packed 7 days a week every week, every month, and every year. You BS people can go, we don't need you. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

If your famailar with In'n'out burgers animal sauce and like it, grab the cup of cheese and "shack sauce" from Beef Shack next test run

I will be at Jays in Schiller Park for lunch tomorrow. Best beef around imo.

TCG Meetup?! I can't think of a parking lot that can hold more than 8 cars near any of their locations haha.

[CMNTMXR57]

[MENTION=7435]BADAZZTEALCOBRA[/MENTION] s sister rang me up. (I think) old ugly white chick, bigish forearm tattoo

 

[FESTER665]

That would be her.

Wait, it could also be her one friend. Which one did you go to?

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Even bowled with him @ Niles Brunswick... shot my 2nd perfect game in that league.

[Shawn1112]

Did someone mention they are same owners as Zippys? Sure looks like a Zippys beef.

On Roselle and bode.

Yes you are.

Married couple owned zippys. They got divorced, she got the name, he got the locations. So he changed the name.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Man, that looks good

Shack sauce is the 2nd reason to go there right behind the cheesy beef. Love the sauce!

who is changing your oil? the place on randall/64 conveniently close to beef shack?

No I wasn’t super thrilled with Bill Jacobs VW’s service department and Allen Davis had some serious issues there so I’m trying Fox Valley VW off 64 in St. Charles. It’s the 10K service but since I rotate summer/all season tires with the seasons it’s just an oil change at 10K. I do my own at 5K, but per the manufacture it only needs to be done every 10K and I pre paid for the 10/20/30/40K services when I bought the car.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Went to Beef Shack in St Charles with the family

Thought BS cheesy beef and fries are better than Portillos.

Portillos cheeseburger is better than BS cheeseburger

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Except the bun. The bun on a Portillo's burger is messy and you already have enough mess to deal with, with the amount of condiments they put on.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

fucking closest beef shack is 50 mins away....BOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]
