Thank you Grandma!!!! – Johnnie's is worth the trip. If we can't get into Jean& Judes on River Road , we go to Johnnies for a beef instead. Johnnies may be crowded but the line goes faster. Oh, and what a beef!!!!!

Worth the wait in line!!! – Delicious beef and sausage sandwiches. Lines can get long but the wait is worth it. Add some homemade Italian Ice and you're set.

The Best Beef And Tamales In The World. I Would Eat There Everyday if I Could.

Johnny's addict! – I'm 26 and I have been coming here practically all my life. I love Johnny's so much I would travel from Chicago's northwest side just to eat an italian beef or combo beef/sausage with sweet peppers. (Let's not forget the italian lemon ice) When I went to college right in RIver Forest, I would go to lunch their almost every day. I've tried everything on the menu and I must say that they are the bomb! Even in the dead of winter, you will see a long line outside! I live in Florida now and we definately do NOT have places like these.

wow – johnnie's by far has the best beef anywhere. always fresh, juicy, and just the right amount of peppers. the italian ice couldn't get anybetter with the lemon rinds in it. despite the lines it is well worth the wait. the combos are also very good.

Great food = cheap prices! – This place is awesome! A meal for under $2 -- it's wonderful! And the italian ice is a must for anyone who goes there.
