Default Best Cornbeef in Chicago

Before ever visiting Chicago, I was told that this city was known for the best cornbeef sandwiches. During my first 2 visits, I had cornbeef sandwiches at a place called APs or A&P (something like that). The reputation does live up to it's name and I was wondering if there are any other places that can top A&P?

AP Deli is probably the most famous corned beef restaurant in Chicago, but they charge an arm and a leg and don't really give you enough meat for $6 or $7.

Here's my reccomendation- try Moon's Sandwich Shop on Madison and Western(16 south)- they open early and close at like 3pm so be mindful of your time. Moon's Sandwich Shop - Near West Side - Chicago, IL

Well, I was just going to suggest Moon's, but I see it has been.

Also, you can buy some very good corned beef (I think they make sandwiches, too.) at Elliott's Dairy & Deli at 4800 N. Nagle. They're barely in Harwood Heights at the corner of Nagle & Gunnison. The corned beef is delicious.

Harrington's Catering is renowned for their corned beef as served at banquets, etc., on the Northwest Side and beyond. Now they have a retail deli location on Milwaukee Avenue.

I'm sure I've had some good cornbeef sandwiches here, but whoever told you we're known for the "best" was misinformed.
