Pop's Italian Beef & Sausage

Mount Greenwood · Italian Beef Community-sourced, unverified

📍 10337 S Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL 60655

Pop's Italian Beef & Sausage is, almost paradoxically, a South Side Chicago spot that's really the flagship of a suburban Illinois-and-Indiana chain — this Mount Greenwood counter on Kedzie Avenue is the brand's only location within actual Chicago city limits, even though it's built the same reputation as any proper Chicago beef stand.

Italian beef sandwich

Founder Frank Radochonski opened the original in Palos Heights back in 1980, and the company's now run with his daughter Kacie Radochonski as VP of operations, keeping it a real family business decades in. The menu goes well beyond the signature Italian beef — sausage, burgers, hot dogs, gyros, corned beef, reubens, pepper sandwiches, fried chicken, plus classic sides like pizza puffs and chili cheese fries.

Worth being straight about: The Infatuation's own review calls it 'fine' rather than great, dinging the bread as tough and the meat as chewy — this isn't a hidden gem outranking the city's best, just a real, dependable, no-seating counter stand worth knowing about if you're on the Far South Side. It's standing-room and patio only, so plan on eating the inevitably messy sandwich outside or on your feet.
