“ Teddy's in Darien is great. The guys there are nice, fast and have good quality dogs, burgers, Italian beef, Italian ices, and other menu items... at fair prices. You can dine in but it's mostly a take out place for me. ”
“ This is one great italian beef sandwich with liquid cheese that gave this a unique texture to compliment the peppery and flavorful meat. The hot giardeneria was also excellent add-on. Freshly cooked crinkle fries was salty and fluffy. An delicious side to the cheesy Italian beef. It’s messy so have lots of napkins. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as I asked to have the sandwich cut in half. ”
“ No frills chicago dog. Classic. Very fair price. Will be back to try the beef. Don't love the 50s diner aedthetic. Good service. 4.8 stars. Peach Italian ice was good ”
“ This place has one of the best Italian beefs in the Chicago area, hands down! The meat is sliced on the thinner side and is delicious. The beef is served on fresh Turano bread and they soak it real nice with delicious juice. The giardinera is home made deliciousness, I had their beef twice now and am hooked! The Italian sausage is one of the best I've had and with that layer of gravy at the bottom, oh man, damn good! I ordered the double burger with no veggies so I could get a true taste of the meat and not only did they nail it as medium rare as requested, the burger was huge and my big appetite couldn't finish it! The meat is tasty and addictive, Teddy's is now one of my favorites! ”
“ I have been going to Teddy's for many years. Teddy's is the best place to get from a hotdog with everything or a Taylor Street Polish. Now there Italian beef is the best around. Now make it a combo by adding Italian sausage. Now that's that good eating. Oh you must get it full dipped. Add the homemade Italian ice for afterwards. If you have never been to Teddy's you need to. ”
