Tasty, flavorful, and I really liked the perfectly seasoned peppers and celery on top. I had asked for my sandwich to come dry, but they served it wet (dipped) instead. Not a deal breaker, as it was still really good.

Tender and juicy Italian beef with an amazing texture, giardinera with just the right amount of crunch, looks like it was made in house. This is definitely the kind of sandwich you have to eat two handed, and not put down or it’ll fall apart. Can also be ordered without dip.

Great flavors on their beef. Spicy peppers or plain beef, both were delicious. The Italian ice is a great way to cool off.

I was in the area shopping and I remembered there was 2 sandwich shops across from each other . Remembering delivering Chicago Tribune Newspaper both establishment businesses, First time I been here since 2012 . I ordered the meatball sandwich , fries & drink, & You’re talking about ” satisfied ” Meatball sandwiches are my favorite and that what you get at other places , At Carm’s this was more like Homemade Italian dish , My Italian Mum from Italy would love .. Try to time make so time to try their Italian Beef sandwich. Sorry I didn’t get to Italian young women & gentlemen name . But this place rock .. cozy place to eat in or outdoors & the customer service was 100% satisfied, I gave it 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Carm’s Beef & Italian Ice .. I know if my Mum was here she would say ” It thats a good !!! …

Quaint throwback Beef and Hot Dog joint in Little Italy, UIC area. Feels just like you would imagine (authentic). Had Tacos, believe it or not, and they were great! I would recommend going and I would patronize them again.

The best Italian ice ever and the steak tacos are so darn good omg. I love their service they are so nice to me and everyone that comes in there. Overall, great people. I also believe it’s family owned.

I did not try the food, but the italian ice, oh my!!!! I tried the strawberry favor, which was delicious. However, I was surprised at the horchata flavor. So, so tasty without it being overlysweet. It has pieces of rice that give it some texture. It’s a must try, but, be sure to bring cash. It’s cash only on the Italian ice side.

Closed for food, Saturday afternoon but had the lemonade stand open. Some of the best Italian lemonade in the city . Well worth the trip. When the Taylor street stand is crowded, try here no waiting and it’s better.

Waited 20+ minutes for a gyro and fries and there were a couple people ahead of me; this one couple (who clearly they had a relationship with the restaurant) we’re served several times asking for new items and sauces and getting that before I got served. I asked for some ranch and they told me it’s extra which I’d understand if I hadn’t witnessed other consumers getting their newly ordered food after I placed my order and before receiving it . Definitely a family business but ran like a family not a business.
