    32. Steak Dirty Fries & 31. Chicken Dirty Fries
    Melissa M.

    My friend and I DoorDash'd for lunch and she failed to mention one order could feed 4 people I had the chicken dirty fries and it had all the adult junk food elements: hot fries, grilled (seasoned) chicken, ranch, cheese and some peppers, onions and mushrooms that weren't mushy. I really enjoyed trying to make a dent in mine. My friends steak was a bit too well done and chewy so took a star for that. Otherwise, great for a hangover, cheat day (like, the whole day) or a breakup

    1/2 of the Dale sandwich

    After driving by this place for as long as I can remember, I finally decided to give it a try. Their corned beef is constantly advertised in front of the building, so I thought I'd get the Dale sandwich. The sandwich was very good. The corned beef was shaved and crumbly, but still had some moisture to it. The mustard and Swiss cheese complimented it well. It came with a pickle and a hefty portion of French fries. The fries had a nice Cajun seasoning on them, but were a bit on the soggy side. Overall it was a good meal, and I would consider going there again, but I'm not sure when. If you're in the mood for a quick sandwich, I think Papa Joe's is a far better option. If you're in the mood for a good corned beef sandwich, Muldoon's is leaps and bounds better. At $10.25 for the sandwich plus $0.60 for the cheese plus $1.25 for the fries, there are cheaper options out there. But they do deliver, so it's nice to have available if you want delivery and don't want pizza or Chinese.

    Hard chicken and food was cold. Never  order from them again.

    Restauranti ordered two orders of wings dinner and cheese burger was hard and black. the driver was late with the food. The food was cold too. I wish I can take a picture of this food. When you don't change your Grease it's makes the chicken looks black. And the Restaurant used flour. That's not flour dales on put on chicken. just a waste of money. My mom standing in the heat Waiting on the blacken chicken. I will not order from them again. Am about Tired of eating out. With Bad cooking skills.

    Thought i would randomly start trying some of the local businesses I pass everyday and Dales Deli caught my eye with the help of Yelp. Instantly after looking at the menu I fell in the trap of wanting to order a bit of everything. Pictured below are a chicken Philly and chicken dirty fries. Both were more than satisfactory, service was really quick and personal which is always a plus for me. So much that I've been back twice since this post! If you're looking to try out a place with reasonable prices and solid portions, definitely stop by

    So let's start with the 4 inches of meat packed in this sandwich! I've been here twice now and have had the corned beef and the Reuben. I hold every city with good food to Chicago standards but these two versions far exceed anything I've had in Chicago thus far. You can tell this is a city that specializes in these sandwiches. Dales is a hole in the wall that I hear doubles as a "alleged" underground gambling op. Not sure about the validity to this claim but even if it was true they seem to give lots of attention to the crafting of the sandwiches. They have tables out front and no room to sit inside. Pick up only. Food is made to order and comes out quick. Staff is nice and the sandwiches....O-M-G! My wife's cousins says there a bigger better corned beef here in town. I guess I'm going to have to see for myself!

I ordered the 5-piece wing dinner with hot lemon pepper wings, a side of macaroni, and the greens/cabbage, plus an extra side of fries with sauce. I'll be honest the fries weren't really necessary for me and I could've done without them. But the wings? So good. I don't usually go for lemon pepper, but this flavor was on point, perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. The sides were solid too and complemented the meal well. Overall, I really enjoyed it and will definitely be ordering again.

Normally a place I try never live up to the hype, however, I'm happy to say I was wrong in this case. The side portions are very generous. The mac & cheese is good. The collards mixed with cabbage were outstanding. The wings are delicious ,fried to crisp with beautiful sauce that doesn't drown the flavor out of the seasoning. I chose hot honey lemon pepper. (There's other flavors) In fact it enhances your taste buds. I also tried their beef cheesecake eggrolls, which are pretty decent size. They are a little pricey but I enjoyed. Honestly, the sauce that comes with it isn't necessary. They're fine on their own. I wish we got a little more meat, but it's not a huge deal. Everything is made fresh to order. I highly recommend you give them a try,and if I'm area again I'll return

The food had always been delicious until this last visit. Given we are regulars at the place, we know the quality of the food has been consistently fantastic and the wait for the food is typical - not too fast or slow - enough to prepare the meal given how busy the place has always been. This last time, however, it was a good 45 minutes before the order came to the table. Neither one of our meals was very good. I was very hypiglycemic by this point and so I ate the french toast that was completely uncooked inside. At first I wasn't thrilled that the bread was considerably smaller than it used to be until i bit into it to find cold wet mush. I should not have eaten it at all. My friend had ordered a patty melt - medium which should be light pink in the center. It was bloody red. She sent it back and about 20 min later it came back exavtly the same. She sent it back again. Another 20 minutes later it came back well done and with spices in the meat that made the meat taste lousy. So now she had a burger that wass over cooked and tasted bad. She didnt gat to eat because by that time we were done. I wish i had turned back the french toast. I kept hoping with every bite it might be cooked. Not one bite was cooked. Not even one. Being hypoglycemic I felt like I would lose my cool if I didnt eat something so I ate. It turns out the place had been bought and the new owner really didnt care. We got to talk to the brother of the new owner who only said that the place has been very busy and that should speak to the quality. He couldnt care less about our experience. All I have to say is that they are going to be losing a lot of money having to replace meals and once people find out about the sudden drop in quality of the food, those peeople that have been filling the place will not be returning as we wont be either. We refuse to go somewhere that the owners could care less about their patrons.

That said, I was disappointed by the size. For $20, I expected a thick, hearty sandwich, but this felt pretty skimpy for the price.

When your job involves communicating with customers, that really shouldn't be allowed by management. Good flavors, but between the small portion and the ordering experience, it's only 3 stars for me.
