Nitro Pepsi, vanilla draft cola
Brenda H.

Almost missed this place while walking to the old post office. Decided to stop here and save myself some $$. Great food! Great prices! My wrap was $9.99, which would have easily been $13.99 at the old post office.... If you could even find something like it. Hardly any line at 12:15. I had the Buffalo chicken wrap, and it was spicy and delicious! The chicken was WARM which was a pleasant surprise. Also tried one of these Nitro Pepsi things, as I hadn't had one before. Super tasty! Will def come back!

A thoroughly satisfying light lunch experience. Neslted in the lobby of the AkzoNobel building, this little spot offers a no frills experience that will leave your taste buds and pocketbook satisfied. I find myself at Erik's when I'm looking for a simple lunch where I taste the ingredients because they are not overwhelmed by some sort of sauce or spread. Note: The menu is far more extensive then what is featured on Yelp. http://www.originaleriksdeli.com/menu.html Each day they offer a different lunch special, which includes a rotating selection of sandwiches, a bag of chips, and a drink for $7.99. Not bad. There's also 1/2 sandwich soup combo too. I am a fan of the buffalo chicken wrap, the Big Tony (for hungrier days), and the veggie panini (so cheesy!). There's also a daily soup selection! I just had the Lemon Chicken; it was creamy and featured the perfect amount of citrus to zip up the chicken and rice. I've enjoyed their minestrone as well. Don't forget that there is always chili to choose too. A bowl of soup is ~$4. My coworkers also seem to love their salads. And some mornings, I order a Breakfast Burrito with bacon (you can choose sausage or ham too) and pico de gallo. ~$4. The staff is always friendly. As far as lunch spots inside business buildings go, Erik's is a winner.

The Triple Decker Sandwich with avocado
Erick J.

Great go to for lunch. Always fast, great service, plenty of options and they all taste good. I have had 3 different menu options and they all tasted good. My favorite is the triple decker sandwich. They also have a different special everyday. If your crunched got time and need a place that is fast with great service and good quality food for the price this is a good place to stop for lunch.

First time trying this location!

First time coming to this location and first things first the customer service the day I went was pleasant. The workers move fast but accurately and you can tell there's a good team dynamic. The lines move pretty quickly for it to be lunch rush and they confirm while your in line and at the register what you've ordered and proceed to check out. The location it self isn't as busy as I thought it would be. One thing I would say is they don't offer too many combos with their meals. I had the gyro which was around about $6.00 after tax which isn't too bad, however the size is small and fries and a small pop would've made this experience a bit better. Some items are a bit pricey especially if you can make those things at home. Outside of the that, the restaurant is very clean and appealing to look at.

Chopped Salad.
Ian H.

What a great addition to the hood! There are so many great places to get lunch, but this one always tops my list. The specials change frequently and nothing on the menu is bad. Eat up!

Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more! Appetizers Selected: Mac & Cheese Bites, Bacon Wrapped Dates w Honey Citrus Sauce, Cocktail Meatballs, Bruschetta Bar Salad Selected: Mixed Field Greens w Pears, Goat Cheese, Pear Infused Vinaigrette. *Alts: Candied Walnuts & Second Balsamic Dressing to offer Dinner Selections: 1. Filet w Red Wine Demi Sauce, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, & Asparagus 2. Garlic & Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Vodka Sauce w Bowtie Noodles, & Grilled Veggies 3. Butternut Squash Ravioli w Sage Brown Butter Sauce, Grilled Veggies *Kid's Meals & Vegan Meal offered otherwise at no upcharge Dessert Selections: 1. Mini Cookie Tray- Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Sugar, M&M, Double Chocolate, Peanut Butter 2. Assorted Chocolate Truffles- Oreo, Buckeye, Aztec

We worked with Hearty Boys for our February 2025 wedding and could not recommend them enough!…read more Alyson and her team were amazing and we were hooked from the first tasting. Alyson listened to all of our questions and concerns with guests' potential needs. One of our guests has severe allergies and Hearty Boys was well aware, ensuring our guest was well take care of, providing a delicious meal and not missing out! The food was delicious and we received raved reviews from our guests! A huge priority for us was that the food was hot. We all know that wedding food could either be cold and/or not flavorful, but that was not the case here. The presentation was also wonderful! Luckily, Hearty Boys has worked in our venue (Artifact Events) countless times and they were a well oiled machine. Even the venue walk through with Alyson blew me away; every detail was discussed, even the drinks for the VIPs and she made sure the bridal party and parents' needs were addressed weeks before the wedding. On the day of, everything was orchestrated perfectly. As the bride and groom, we also had our own server (Scott) and he was incredible! The staff was attentive to all of my guests' needs and it was great to see everyone so happy with all details. My friends even commented about how professional the food delivery was to every table. You should absolutely book Hearty Boys for your event. They know what they are doing and you will be happy with their service!

We hired Hearty Boys catering for our wedding reception in Chicago on 11/22/25 for our 130 guests…read more I cannot recommend them highly enough! Alyson and her entire team made sure everything was perfect. We still have guests telling us how that was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! We went to several tastings and no one came close to Hearty Boys with the quality of their food and the service. They are the best!!!!

Let me start off by thanking Cleo's for actually being open due business hours. It's very…read moredisappointing when actually traveling long distance to an establishment and they not being open. I've traveled a time or two to a couple of spots in Chicago to support; only to be welcomed to a closed sign. So, Cleo's THANK YOU for blessing me with your service and love for food. It made my birthday, day trip that much better. Now, where do I start. Well, I called to make sure that they were open. I wanted to place my order via phone, but was instructed to place it via their website. The website was easy to navigate and updated. The time given for pickup was pretty much exact. I may even say that it was ready 5-10 minutes before. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. However, depending on when you go, there's a small lot across the street where you can park. Also, you can dine inside, however, depending on how busy, you may or may not have a spot. I lucked up and was able to dine in. Which made my experience better because I was able to take my food out, examine and get comfortable. All food is made to order. That is a huge plus!!!! Food was packaged right and sealed tight. I tried the Float & Fly which consisted of 3 pcs of catfish fillets and 3 fried chicken wings. I tried the green beans, Mac n cheese and pineapple candied sweet potatoes and pineapple cheesecake for a treat. Oh, let me not forget the Purple Rain drink. The catfish & wings were well seasoned and fried to perfection. If I had to choose between the two, wings for the WIN!!! The greens beans had a bit of a kick to them. So much that I followed up with some Mac and sweet potatoes. Ha! The Mac was cheesy and kinda creamy. Great texture. The sweet potatoes were different with the pineapples. The pineapples gave a little twist, but still delivering your childhood memory of sweet potatoes that grandma used to make. Desserts are limited; cheesecake or brownie. The cheesecake was my least favorite thing. I either want peach cobbler or cheesecake; not them being married. Ha! I was happy and pleased with how clean the inside was and how organized it was as well. I like an open kitchen concept. I'll definitely be returning when in Chicago. My advice is to place your order online. Keith Lee approved and so do I!

I wouldn't recommend anybody go here. When I say this place was packed with disorganization, I mean…read moreit was a literal mess. None of the tables were cleaned or organized properly, there were random boxes stacked everywhere, and the TV was broken. To make the atmosphere worse, they had loud music blasting through a blown-out subwoofer, so it just sounded like constant static the entire time. On top of that, the bathrooms were completely closed--you literally couldn't even use the restroom. The staff were totally inattentive, and the food was way too salty and vastly overpriced for what you get. It was a chaotic, frustrating, and incredibly forgetful experience. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I planned my sister's bridal shower (from…read morethe West Coast) and trusted the rave reviews and this women-owned business did not disappoint! Ordering Process: I got the mini sandwiches and the fruit and cheese tray. Ordering was super easy and stress-free. They could customize the type and number of sandwiches with no problem and I also added the fruit and cheese tray after the fact, which was accommodated. Quality: I ordered the mini-sandwiches - chicken salad, turkey gouda, and veggie caprese. Each was so delicious. The cheese and fruit tray were beautifully presented and had plenty of variety. High-quality fruit, cheese, and crackers. Our guests loved the food! Presentation: Each tray was BEAUTIFULLY presented! I also loved that the little card labels came with the order so it was easy to set things up. (see picture). Overall: I'm beyond thrilled with the whole order, From start to finish it was so smooth and the food was well presented and delicious. You cannot ask for more. These gals go above and beyond. I will order from them again and am so proud to support a women-owned business!
