Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches come to downtown Arlington

Chicago-style Italian beef has a new home in downtown Arlington.
Hershey’s Palace, formerly on South Halsted Street in the Windy City, has opened on East Abram Street.
Those winds blew Hershey’s everywhere else before Arlington. The restaurant moved to Breckenridge, Texas, and two Sansom Park locations before settling at 513 E. Abram St. in the Urban Union district.
The new location is more central for Hershey’s expatriate Chicago followers and for new patrons seeking Hershey’s chicken tenders, catfish and Chicago sandwiches.
You can’t tell it from the menu, but Hershey’s is best known for an Italian beef sandwich. Order it “dipped” or “wet,” with hot giardiniera relish.
Hershey’s also serves steak hoagies, chicken wings and “pizza puffs,” along with a routine thin-crust pizza.
Each comes with — a big plus — crinkle fries.
It’s a small take-out counter with a few tables, although an expansion is planned.
It’s open for lunch and dinner daily in a former chicken stand on Abram near Fuzzy’s Taco Shop; 682-323-5050.
