Zel's Roast Beef

This is one of my favorite roast beef places. I had the roast beef deluxe meal with medium fries and medium green river drink. I really like their fries and green river! The meal cost 10 dollars but is worth it! Also you can get cheese and peppers on your sandwich. I am going back for sure because I've been there before many times

Great customer service very friendly and very fast food was okay mediocre at best I have a hard time wrapping my head around spending just shy of $36 on three sandwiches with fries with no drinks $12 a sandwich is a little high literally my ticket was $35 and some change so almost $12 each just very disappointing with the prices compared to the quality of food and sizes I thought the sub would be at least 8 in seem more like a 6-in bun. I will probably eat there again just cannot be on a regular basis for those kind of prices

I've been eating at Zel's for over 20 years now. The menu is not overly complicated and quite simple( ONE of the things I love about this place). The roast beef is awesome, onion rings delicious and their signature Super Zel burger is mouth wateringly tasty !!!! GO there for your next lunch, you won't be disappointed!!!!!

First time eating here... Really love this place. I got a number one. Big roast beef with fries and a drink. I got mine with Pickles, peppers and mozzarella cheese. Seriously a good sandwich. It's simple, but really hits the spot... the only word of caution I would give is the au jus sauce... this is basically the pan drippings from cooking the beef. That's not a bad thing as it was a great sauce to dip my sandwich in. Not your standard reduction though.

The first thing I want to say is the guy at the desk was the epitome of customer service. Very cordial and patient. The food was good, but that's not why the 3 stars. I mean, the chili cheese dogs were eaten by the people that ordered them without complaint. Also, the fries were hot and fresh, but just crinkly with not much flavor. The problem comes with the 2 polishes I ordered. I'm a Chicago guy living here for the last decade and I'm still not familiar with all the places around me. I'd had the Roast Beef at Zel's before and it ain't nothing compared to a Chi-Town Italian Beef! That brings me to the problem with the polishes. I asked if I could have them Chicago-Style and Maxwell Street, which other local places like Saul's in East Chicago does very well. Not only did they put some random shredded onions, relish and tomatoes on my dogs... BUT KETCHUP TOO!!! I really wanted to stop and drive back but again the guy was very nice. I've just decided to not go back unless I've got a taste for regular roast beef, bland fries and sacrilege on a bun!
