34 | November 22, 2017 | 22nd century media holiday guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com Tinley’s Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage ready for the holidays At Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage in Tinley Park, homemade food at a great value is what is on the menu this holiday season. The Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage Tinley Park location has been making the holidays special with its delicious catering offerings since 2009. Focusing on high quality food with affordable prices, Pop’s be a part of everyone’s celebrations this season. “Christmas Eve is our busiest day of the year,” owner Burke Matyas said. “People especially love our beef and chicken for their holiday gatherings. “Every 15 minutes, we are cooking 120 pieces of chicken, so call early for a prime spot. Some people who have made our food a tradition are calling a month in advance every year.” Pop’s famous chicken is pressure-cooked to make it more moist and delicious, which is why it is so popular among customers. Also, all the beef is cooked and sliced daily and has been since the first Pop’s opened its doors in Palos Heights in 1980. Pop’s offers a variety of catering packages which include Italian beef, Italian sausage, chicken, baked mostaccioli, and sausage and meatball trays. Delicious catering services are not all Pop’s is known for. Pop’s in Tinley Park also is part of the hot lunch program for area schools, and offers a fundraising program that gives back 20 percent of its profits that day to the participating nonprofit group. Pop’s daily specials and text messaging promotions also make Pop’s in Tinley Park a popular lunch destination. At 9:30 a.m. every Monday, a text message promotion is sent to 26,000 phone numbers of people who opted into the program by texting the word POPS (in all capital letters) to 95577. The specials are good for Monday and Tuesday, and generally rotate between the same popular offerings. The menu items include; cheeseburger ($2.25), beef sandwich ($3.50), Italian sausage sandwich ($2.99), gyros sandwich ($3.50), breaded steak sandwich ($2.99), and all-beef hot dog ($2.25). There are always two different specials every day of the week. Also, every order comes with a brightly colored coupon for a customer’s next visit. For the most part, all Pop’s stores offer the same menu, but at Tinley Park people can also order a homemade sloppy Joe, or choose from two homemade soups; cream of chicken with rice, and vegetable beef barley. They are very popular with regulars and keep people coming back again and again. At Pop’s, customers are treated as more than a just a customer; they are treated as a friend. “We have so many regulars here, and I think it’s because we give out great customer service,” Matyas said. “We like to talk and laugh with our regulars when they walk in the door, really make them feel welcome. “We have some regulars that come here so often, as soon as they walk in the door I’m already calling their order out to the kitchen before the customer even makes it up to the counter.” And it’s not just the customers that are loyal. “Most of our employees have been here a long time, so we can really keep up the consistency,” Matyas said. “I have one employee that’s been with the Pop’s franchise for 20 years, and another one that’s been with me since Day 1 in Tinley Park.” Submitted by Pop’s Italian Beef & Sausage, 7301 W. 183rd St. in Tinley Park.
