This is the best hot dog spot in Elgin. There are a few Beef Villas in the area but this one, I think the original one is the best.
Clean inside. Fast service and prices are fair. If you get a dog and fries, they wrap them together. Other Beef Villas don't. This adds something to the fries when this is done. Makes them divine.

Come to beef Villa all the time when I'm in Elgin Illinois. Tonight's visit was a bit of cluster.
Food is always delicious fyi, but the service is amok when Grace isn't working. Tonight they decided they'd take online orders over the actual customers waiting in the lobby to order. I waited over 20 minutes to get food which is not okay.
I always come here when I'm in town, the food is always awesome, but c'mon man, don't irritate your actual customers waiting to order in the actual restaurant to take virtual orders. Then of course they got my order wrong.
Right the ship Beef Villa, grub hub and post mates can wait.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Oct 10, 2023Previous reviewBeef Villa is an Elgin staple, I've been eating here for the better part of 45 years.
There is parking in their private lot, and a small dining area inside as most orders are to go.
The food options here are plentiful. From beef sandwiches to fish fry. And everything is delicious. I highly recommend the Chicago dogs and the pizza puffs and the Beef sandwiches.
For quick delicious food, beef Villa can't be beat.Aug 1, 2020Previous reviewThe best place in town. Left Elgin 20 years ago but when I travel here it's on my must stop list. There are east side and west side locations as well as a South Elgin location.
Beef villa, on Dundee avenue, I have been eating their food since I was a small child. If you're looking for the Best Italian beef sandwich and the best Chicago dog around, then this would be the place to go. Throw in a pizza puff for good measure (a deep fried pizza pocket essentially made by Iltaco) and you've got the perfect meal.
Wash it down with an ice cold Coca Cola and you've made it a complete meal of deliciousness.
Beef villa is an old beef establishment on the far northwest east side of Elgin Illinois. The staff inside is quick to serve and no nonsense. The food can only be described as comfort food and delicious. It's a small hole in the wall type of place, but you won't be disappointed in the food. They have daily specials as well.
Come for the beef, stay for the puff
*********UPDATE*****************
The east side Beef Villa is under new ownership, and boy does it show, and not in a good way. The service is sloppy, they routinely get your order wrong and also short you on items you've ordered. And it used to run like a well oiled machine and now it runs like an old Ford Pinto, stops and sputters.
Do yourself a favor new ownership, bring back the old staff you fired, and bring back the luster of Beef Villa. You currently stink at almost all that you do. I refrained from commenting for a year hoping that you'd get your acts together, but you haven't. It's so disappointing to see this Elgin landmark being destroyed every time I come here to eat. Get staff that can take orders and complete the orders again, PLEASE. If you need to see how it's done then go to the other 2 locations and quietly observe.

On 8-1-2020 they had Grace running the register and taking orders. That's the key to your success. There were 7 people inside at one point and everything went smooth as silk. No frustrated customers and the order was delivered as ordered. Congrats, you get an extra star for that nowJun 18, 2020Previous reviewThe best place in town.

I like the Beef Villa location on Larkin Ave much better.
This one is average. I asked for a beef with hot peppers, meaning giardinara, and got sport peppers instead. The fries were good. The servers were friendly.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Allison W.South Side, Chicago, IL312164Jan 27, 2024

Ryan Z.Hendersonville, NC404256342Feb 28, 2023Atmosphere: nothing fancy. Just a counter and a couple of tables. Get in. Get your food. Get out.
Bites: The food here was good. It wasn't great but it was good. The beef sandwich was a solid 4. The sweet peppers could've been sliced better. The fries were crispy and fresh. The polish sausage was good, and bread was soft.
Cleanliness: The restaurant seemed clean.
Service: Not very friendly. Figure out what you want before you get there. Don't hold up the line. They seem to get annoyed if you do.
Overall: not a bad place to eat. The food was good. I don't travel this way very often. I probably won't be back. I've had better food and service at other restaurants. I'd recommend this place if you're in the area and you're hungry.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0

The food quality was discussing. The burgers are over cooked. The cheese sauce is old. Not worth the price.

S K.Hoffman Estates, IL45478Feb 19, 2022Outstanding food. I come from Schaumburg to get the Gyro and Beef. Their fries with cheese are out of this world and the portions and excellent. Customer for life.
