I read more than a few great reviews about their Italian beef sandwich. I was very disappointed. The beef had no taste, not even salt, and it was a little tough. It didn't occur to me to request giardiniera specifically when I asked for hot peppers, so I got sport peppers instead.

My family has been going there since the 60's, the food is just as wonderful. Walker's beef is the best on earth, as is the rest of the menu. Tty a Dago Flip, holy cow!

You are all correct,,,the Italian Beefs are great. Don Walker bought the recipe in the early 60s and when he retired in 72 he sold the recipe with the business. I think it has changed hands a couple of times but the beefs are still yummy. Whenever I get back to Aurora I head there.

I remember when Don and Rose Walker opened the place back in 1966,,it was a old gas station. They had outgrown the original east side location.
I miss the Bar B Q sandwiches but the beefs are still the same. Also the Italian Flips are no more.

I also grew up in Aurora and spent quite a bit of money and time at the sandwich center. I'm now living in Brazil and will be state side next month and I'm making a "special" trip to Aurora just for the Italian Beef. Don and Steve, you are masters of your craft!

I was born and raised in Aurora, but moved away to Texas back in 1976. Don Walker's is the standard for sandwiches, especially the Italian Beefs that has yet to be beat. They never heard of the things down here, so I have to make a trip to Aurora at least once a year just to get my Walker's IB fix.
The atmosphere is 60's ere diner, but that's because it hasn't changed since the 60's. Nothing fancy, but it's clean and you won't find better food anywhere.

Best food in Aurora for a quick bite. They have been in the same location on New York St since I was a kid and I am 44 now . Great gyro's and of course the Italian Beef ROCKS!! Guarantee you will be satisfied. Simple menu and good prices for the quality.
