This is a larger, clean, and airy EBB located in a strip mall. We were in the area and picked up their new Maplehouse egg sandwich and one of their double baked hash browns to go. It wasn't busy at noon on a weekday for whatever reason. The two staffers were friendly and welcoming. Unlike the EBB in downtown Park Ridge, parking was plentiful and easy here with their strip mall parking. The products were in the ok range for the price.

Cut horrible maybe 2 pieces of bacon I got the farm house sandwhich replaced the ham with bacon

A $9 bagel with extra bacon horrible customer service I would give them 0 stars if I could

Nova Lox Joke

What a pitiful excuse for a bagel/deli shop. I ordered a Nova Lox sandwich on a plain bagel and a farmhouse sandwich on an Asiago bagel via Uber Eats. I received both sandwiches. The farmhouse sandwich was okay even though it was cold and the bacon was missing. The Nova Lox sandwich was a sham of a sandwich. I ordered it on a plain bagel and got it on a cold, not toasted seed bagel without any cream cheese or red onion. It had two wimpy tomatoes, a few sprinkled capers, and one tiny sad slice of Nova Lox. Needless to say an utter disappointment. Requested a refund via Uber Eats. This place is a joke!

Not open at 6:07am.

They were not open at 6:00 am. I wanted some bagels to take to a sporting event and woke up early to beat the rush. Waited about 8 minutes for the store to open but ultimately decided to go to McDonald's. Don't post opening hours of 6:00 am if you can't staff accordingly.

Dining area with no tables

How much longer have til you open dine-in???? If it is about saving money or not finding staff to work? Part of the experience is enjoying your warm bagel.

Don't come here if you want to sit down and enjoy your food they don't have any tables or chairs and the restaurant is filthy

Barely put any cream cheese on the second half of the bagel, barely any kappers on mine, forgot the Kappers on my dads, didn't toast my moms OR mine. For that price you'd think they'd get something right. Sloppy horrible job. Not worth your money.

Seriously, the slowest service ever. They used to be a well oiled machine and I'm wondering if management has changed.

I'm glad I finally got a chance to try it. There's parking on both sides of the building, which I…read morethink has been the issue when I've visited in the past--not seeing parking in the place I thought was for them. The deli is the main attraction, and we got a couple sandwiches. I got a reuben, their leanest cut, and it was really good. There was so much meat--too much for me, but it is super filling. They also have a bakery, though I didn't pick anything up from there. There's lots of soups, too, which I'll probably pick up if I visit again. There are some specialty foods, and they have some tables both in and outside if you'd like to stay a while.

Stopped in for a quick bite…read more I really think you should examine the menu before going there are a lot of choices. Once I got the hang of ordering. Place the order at one end of the counter and you pick it all the way on the end. They take the sandwich in back to finish it. I ordered a corned beef on an onion roll. While I waited they have a nice selection of baked goods. Cookies, bread and desserts!! The decor is eclectic with nice nods to delis. I received my sandwich and ate outside, because the indoor dining area was full. My sandwich was really good, I would like a little extra mustard next time. The meat was tender and flavorful. The pickles they give you are top notch.

Bagels are pretty easy to get around here. If looking to get some fresh ones then you probably…read moreshould order from this place in Wheeling. Chicago Bagel & Bialy is a classic. Has classic bagel style which is about as authentic of New York as you can get. The prices are usually good on bagels and sandwiches as well. A lot of bagels and bialys to get. It also has lots of cream cheese and other spreads. The most famous of these is the cream cheese and lox, but of course there's much more beyond that. It's about $2 for a regular bagel. Then add a few bucks or so depending on choice of toppings. Choose a simple spread like cream cheese or maybe load it up with something more. You can even make a big sandwich packed with meat if you like that. Has some pretty good vegetarian choices. There's toppings like avocado and vegetables or maybe get a salad. Also the sandwiches which looks and smells fresh. There's a lot more than just bagels to get here. Even though it's best known for the bagels, there's also bialys. It's kind of like bagels with no holes. There's also plenty of sides like salads.

You could definitely come here for breakfast or lunch - they had a really big menu! I loved the parmesan oregano bagel & got it with eggs and cheese. It came with 2 eggs so it made the sandwich very filling even though the bagels are on the smaller size. We also loved their latke. It was super thick & perfectly crispy on the outside.

This was the first time that I went to Once Upon a Deli.  It's located in a strip mall just 2…read morestores to the left of Dairy Queen, which I had patronized many times over the years.  Somehow I had never noticed OUAD.  I am so happy that I finally found it! Today's visit to QUAD served 2 purposes.  As my AA miles were about to expire, I went on the AAdvantage Dining website to find a restaurant that is affiliated with the program, so that I could spend some money there so as to earn some miles before the deadline, in order to prevent my hard-earned miles from expiring.  That's the main purpose of me going to Once Upon a Deli! Of course, I went there also because of the food!  The deli was clean, and seemed very well-stocked and carried a great variety of deli food and ingredients.  The staff were very friendly and helpful.  I ordered the food to-go.  It was in the early afternoon, and I was delighted that they still happily made me an All American Breakfast Sandwich. You can pick any ways for the eggs to be cooked, and the kind of meat and cheese.  I had sunny-side-up eggs, sausage, and Swiss cheese (they ran out of Mozzarella cheese as it was already after one O'clock) on an all season bagel. There was so much yummy food!  The staff told me that they left the sandwich opened in 2 halves because the eggs were not fully cooked. That was pretty thoughtful of them.  I also ordered a raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese. It was toasted to perfection, with a nice crispiness on the outside, and the right kind of chewiness inside. That's what a perfect bagel should be!  It had a slight sweetness because of my fruity choices.  The bagel was big and was packaged very well. I read that people had driven long distance to OUAD for their bagels.  We are so lucky that it's only a 5-to-6-minute drive from home.  I will definitely come back for more bagels.  We will try more different items from their vast menu too!  Next time, it will just be for good food, and won't be for AA miles!

Once Upon a Deli is just a couple doors down from Once Upon a Grill, so when you place your order…read morepay attention. Luckily they're literally on either side of the Dairy Queen. My experience with this location was not good. We placed an order online. It was placed a little over an hour before the scheduled pickup time since I was heading to the suburbs for an errand and would pick it up on the way back home; pickup time was 8:30. My errand took a bit longer so but I arrived around 8:40 for pickup (at Once Upon a Grill; they must get it a lot because they pointed me to the Deli). When I got to the Deli and let them know I was picking up an order I placed the man looked confused, asked if I placed an order, then walked down and looked at something and said to give him a few minutes, during which they cooked my order. So the order placed an hour before pickup was 20 minutes late because they don't check their system. I learned later that they open at 8-about 40 minutes after the order was placed--but whatever system they use has controls for when to take orders and when to stop online order taking. If they're going to allow folks to place orders before the shop opens for pickup after, they need to either update the schedule for the online ordering system to not accept orders before opening, or they need to look and see what if anything has come in. Really disappointing because this made me running late for work. And it wasn't helped at all by the attitude of the folks working there. Not a sorry, not an excuse or explanation, nothing. And even with that indifference I was going to buy a dozen bagels and some cream cheese, but the guy just tossed my order on the counter when it was done without a word. So, I left. There are better bagels elsewhere anyway.
