Arby s

Arby's holds down the west end of Chicago Boulevard. This is the Tecumseh location of the roast-beef chain, sitting on the commercial strip where M-50 traffic clusters - drive-through, dine-in, the menu you already know. Roast beef sandwiches, curly fries, the rotating brisket and shake situation.

Hours skew late: 10am to midnight most nights, 10am to 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, and 10am to 11pm Sundays. Useful when downtown spots have closed and you still need food after a show or a late shift. Coffee and dessert are on the menu, the kids' menu is in place, and the dining room and restroom are open if you need a sit-down break.

Fans give the brisket sandwiches and the hot food a thumbs-up, plus a nod to friendlier-than-expected service when the team is rolling. Order accuracy and dining-room tidiness can swing during a rush, so peak times are a gamble. Good fit for a fast lunch off M-50, a kids-in-the-car detour, or a late-night save.
