Luke`s Italian Beef in Tucson

Love this food a chi-town man of 40 years ate there in ILL for my whole childhood . Food still taste the same.Best beef sandwich you can find in AZ.

Tough times demand the best food, and Luke's really delivers! The combo is the best sandwich ever devised, hot relish is a must, closely followed by the meatball sub. And the double Chicago dog with the Best fries in town, absolutely. Why would you go to a chain when you can have the best for the same money? And they are fast on the drive-thru. Love it!

Having tried the other location in the past, i wanted to compare the two. This is definitely the better location! The server was very friendly and helpful. The sandwiches taste better here, higher quality and less greasy. A good lunch spot if u are craving a hot sandwich!

Really good, unpretentious food. I love the Italian beef sandwich with hot peppers. The fries are always crisp and fresh. We visit every year during the gem shows and have for the past 20 years, typically our first food stop. The black cherry drink is fantastic.

They have the best meatball sandwich in tucson. Their Italian sausage is second to none. Luke and his wife are extremely inviting and friendly.

I LOVE a good Italian beef having spent years in Chicago! I also love the Chicago hot dog and Italian sausage. You can get them all, and more, right here in Tucson, on Alvernon (just south of 22nd st).Luke and Patty and their team are the best. Get them all with the special hot peppers and then buy some to take home! You will love this food !VictorB

Luke's is a staple in Tucson. You can't go wrong here. Everything on the menu is great and the owner is really nice

It smells soo delicious and the food always hits the spot! I got the Italian Beef with cheese and hot peppers!! Of course I had an order of fries. Will be back for sure. Thanks, guys! 🤘

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent food. Pastrami sandwich was awesome..we would come back in a heartbeat..

Food was fantastic. We'll return

The food was alright. But my first experience was NOT great because I was taken by a work friend if mine an he was telling me he loved the food and this "meat juice" that you can drizzle on your sandwich and said I should try it. So when we eagerly arrived and ordered I asked about the juice and the tall blonde lady in glasses had the AUDACITY to tell me that the sauce did not go with the sandwiches we ordered and that we were going to "RUIN HER SANDWICH". First of all once I pay for my food its mine and I can do whatever I want to it. And second of all if I'm your customer shouldn't you WANT to sell me the damn sauce lady...?

Italian beef with hot peppers a perfect match to an RC Cola. With the Chicago sports decor gives you the old town sandwich show feeling.

Thus is one of our favorite places to eat when we come to Arizona. The food is excellent.

Good food,and one hell of a poker face

This was the first time I've been in years. The Italian beef was awesome. I loved it. It was great. I'm definitely going back.

Luke's is always amazing! Their food is top notch, and their staff is very friendly. Every time I go, I leave happy and full. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Love, love, love this place!! Get your sandwich "juicy or wet" if you like au ju styles. He's a local small business man and he's rather sweet and good humored and so are the staff!!

Craving an authentic Chicago style Hot Dog and crinkle Fries? Here ya go... visiting my daughter, whose a student (Go 'Cats) and lucked out finding this place on our Costco run. Way to go Greg!!

I've been a patron since the 80s. I just moved back from Colorado and made it a priority to come in. I was not disappointed!!! Just like I remembered... AMAZING 😍. LOVE LOVE!!!

Its really not my thing to try new places but i have to say this is now one of my favorites! Chicago dog is really good ! Really well served very filling & crispy fries !

Best Italian beef this side of the Mississippi! I had the combo, beef and sausage with hot peppers. I didn't realize how much I missed that flavor. The crusty bread, the moist beef dripping in juice. I will absolutely be coming back. (And you can buy a jar of peppers too!)

Luke's will forever have a place in my heart and it's always been one of my favorite restaurants. Ever since I was a child. There's nothing better than an Italian combo with provolone and hot peppers, a big ole basket of hot, crispy onion rings, and a large black cherry juice drink! The food is wonderfully greasy and decadent. If You're looking for a food coma, Luke's is the place to be!

This is best Chicago beef I have.They had multiple place. I thought Ft Lowell was the best but it was closed. Went to Alvernon one which is good as well. Owner told me his son at Ft Lowell went to Thorneydale. I went to 6741 N Thornydale Rd, and sure enough that has gotten better.FYI. Thorneydale on 10 years ago (when I used to live in Tucson) ran by someone else so it wasn't as good as now.

Im a first time customer and really thought I would enjoy eat out and was drawn to this great aroma coming from the street as I've started the past by and thought it would be something great , I was wrong , but I finished my burger and only found out when I got home that the carryout meal turned out to be very soggy and doey , not worth the price I payed !

Really good! Super service, we were newbies, so she explained the best sellers for us 😊Tasty fresh off the grill sandwiches, host dogs, etc.. Fries nice & hot. Good people chatting, enjoying their food. Got a bit crowded towards the end 12:30pm.Will def be back!!

Love the sandwiches! Onion rings are awesome. A whole bag!

Good food, meat taste great and is cooked great. I have been to Chicago and never had meat like this, great food.Don't judge the place by its look. My secret is to find the worst looking places as they usually have the best food.

Lukes is a legend in tucson, over 15 years going here and ive always had the best tasting hot dogs and grinders ive ever had. Simply the best!

Great prices really good food love the onion rings

We have been visiting Tucson since the 1980s. we have been coming to Luke's every chance we get its the best

Everyone needs to eat here. It's the best.

Beef, Hot Peppers, Cheese! Best Italian Beef ever! Been savoring and craving these for over 30 years! Luke and his Stunning, Brassy Bride have made this establishment a beloved family tradition, a place where everyone feels at home! A Tucson Treasure from Chicago!

Chicago dogs done right, great staff. Reasonably priced. My go to comfort food

We ordered two fries, three drinks, and two italian beef sandwich’s, it came out to $30 they ended up not giving us our drinks till we asked, when we unwrapped opened our sandwich’s they were half of a sandwich the usual size we get, we thought they wrapped up half of each but then realized we only got two, we told them and one man said that was the size they always had and that was the full size, the sandwich was the size of the order of fries we got and the bread was burned, out family was very upset because we usually can share sandwiches but they were so small and we ended up not being enough to split, everyone other then that one cashier was very nice, Usually service is great but we went there when Luke was gone.

How can you not love Lukes?? The Italian beef and the meatball sub are amazing. If I'm over on that side of town I try to eat there.

The food was delicious the customer service was amazing. I'm not giving it 5 stars because the tables and chairs were messy.

There's no better beef and/or sausage sandwiches in Tucson!!! You gotta get there!!!Funny, before I could get my camera out to take pictures, it was gone!!!Take a safe seat inside and check out the TV showing old pictures from the best of Luke! Chicago is historically where the business originated. But the Old Man, as he prefers, took up and headed to Arizona, bringing with him the recipes for the best Italian beef and Italian sausage sandwiches for all time!!!

There food is the best taste of the east coast as your going to get in southern Tucson Arizona.

Best Italian Beef sandwiches and Chicago Dogs you can get. The owners are the best down to earth people you could meet. Everyone is friendly and the service is always personable. Oh and did I mention the food is awesome, and satisfying. Thank you

Stopped by Luke's Italian beef and got the ribeye steak sub and it was amazing.. will be going back every day for lunch.. also quick service and respectful staff

Great customer service and the Italian beef sandwich was as amazing as I remembered it to be and their fries are the bomb! Well done 👏 I thought Lukes had closed years ago so I was very excited to find this location!

The food was great!! The service was 1 star tho.. one of the worst customer experiences of my life.

Great Italian Beef with cheese. Make sure you ask for it wet with hot peppers you'll thank me.

Beef was good. Bread was ok. Wrapping...the beef stained my pants through the bag so -1 star, be careful!

Luke and Patti are great. I have been eating at Luke's for 40+ years. The food is delicious. I always get the Italian Beef with cheese and hot peppers. The hot peppers are HOT. If you like hot you will get it here. My family has tried everything on the menu. All of it is good. The service is fast. You will get all your order within 5 minutes.

We love coming here for their hot beef sandwiches. You can get them with sweet peppers or hot peppers! It's a lot like Chicago, you might say a little bit of home right here in the valley. Everyone that works there, is always in a happy mood!

I've missed really good Italian Beef and I hadn't been to this location. Awesome and I will be going back.

Got the combo hot! I was like drown it ! 🔥🔥 great service! Will definitely be back.

Food is always great so I guess it evened out the incredibly rude person at the counter.

I tried to place an order over the phone for pickup and they were incredibly rude. I’ve ate here several times and had decent experiences before.I know times are tough, but you’re not going to keep customers if you’re rude to them.
