Their Corned Beef or Pastrami sandwiches are legendary and just as delicious as we remembered. Today we got the Pastrami which is loaded with meat on our favorite, pumpernickel bread. Get the potatoe latki, and don't forget the applesauce. If that's not your thing , they have several other options. I got the Brisket of Beef Entree, comes with your choice of potatoes and vegetable or pasta with bread. I opted for the Spaghetti which was surprisingly good. You can actually come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I know one thing for sure you will not leave.Manny's dally hungry If you haven't been to manny's lately , why haven't you?

I was in Chicago for a wedding and had a few moments to myself. I arranged my other stops so that I…read morewould be at Manny's for lunch. I heard it was the Katz's Deli of Chicago. With a recommendation like that, I was ready to try anything. Parking can be a challenge in Chicago, but they had a lot in the rear of the restaurant, which was nearly empty. I strolled around to the front and walked in. I wasn't ready for it to be a cafeteria-style eatery, but it really didn't matter. The ambience was kind of cute. Lots of black and white tiles for a retro feel and some historical pictures of the founder. I ordered the 1/2 sandwich and cup of soup lunch special. Matzah ball was my choice of soup and my half sandwich looked huge. I was ready. I tasted the soup first. The broth was clear, and the matzah ball was large. I like hard matzah balls and soft, so it didn't matter to me which it was. What surprised me was the lack of chicken soup flavor. The matzah ball was spongy and not particularly tasty. On to the sandwich. The first thing I noticed was that the carver didn't pull a chunk out of a steam cabinet. They had a slicing machine running constantly forming a mound from which the carver grabbed a handful of corned beef, then a handful of pastrami, which had already been sliced and griddled to add to the corned beef. I asked about the smallest size side of chopped liver they could offer and he gave me a tiny chilled dose sized cup of liver pulled out of the fridge. So far I wasn't impressed. The chopped liver tasted very good but it was hand chopped and in large pieces with very little schmaltz. The sandwhich wasn't anything special. Not hot, not piled and the pickle was a kosher dill, not a half sour. I left half of my half sandwich, the pickle (except for the one bite), and even some chopped liver. For the cost of this average lunch , I would have rather eaten at my favorite deli in Atlanta and had tongue which wasn't even on the menu at Manny's.

I grabbed a pastrami, egg and swiss on a plain bagel.. It was perfection, like they wrote the manual, like I was in midtown manhattan! The bagel was warm and crisp and soft and the pastrami was marbled and rich. There's only about five tables in the place. The staff is friendly. Awesome little deli!

WOW!! Schneider Deli has been on my radar for so long and it did not disappoint. If there's one…read morething I know, it is a good corn beef sandwich, and Schneider's Deli was no different. While we had originally gone there for bagel sandwiches, it was past noon and they were sold out (just means I have to go back now). The latkes were the perfect side that we ordered and the corn beef was so juicy. The sandwich practically melted in my mouth. It was consumed rather quickly and the perfect amount of sauerkraut and dressing. This location is small, but we were luckily able to get a table inside. Just writing this review my mouth is watering and I just know I will be coming back here during my many visits to Chicago!

It was refreshing to come to a deli that didn't have an overwhelming menu. When it was my turn to order, the interaction felt very personable. I ordered a Turkey Pastrami & Provolone sandwich and my girlfriend ordered a Turkey and Provolone (not pictured). The overall assembly of the sandwich was perfect. The bread is sourced from D'Amoto's (IYKYK) ‍. The meat was thinly sliced but they didn't skimp at all. The hot peppers were the star of the show though. Conte will definitely see me again this week! lol

We were quoted a time of 20 minutes out. We arrived a little early and the gal at the counter told us it would be a few minutes. She called out when ready and sat at one of the tables in the front to eat. Each sub had a decent amount of filling. While we each offered the smallest subs, we were plenty full when we left. We enjoyed our subs and now have a place to add to our list for a new quick lunch. For the store itself, they have some odds and ends but many Italian staples. The counter and deli had a steady flow of customers in and out.

It came as a great recommendation! We didn't have it for a while since we live the low-carb life but were thrilled to learn they do a "sub in a tub". I love their tuna salad/sub. Their bread is soft, back when I could eat it. They don't overfill it with mayo either and add some mild peppers or hot on request. I like that they don't have onions at the deli so it doesn't overpower everything else. My husband typically loves the club. They rolled a generous amount into a container and I used scissors to quickly and easily cut it. It was a perfect lunch and I have enough for another tomorrow! For $8, or $11 for a generous tuna scoop, you can't beat it. Staff is also quick and friendly at the deli, as well as checkout. You can find all kinds of things for the house or to gift someone whether it's food, a cookie jar, something imported from Italy, or a homemade meal. You'll find something for everyone.

We were coming from our hotel, which was close to Michigan Avenue so decided to do a pick up order and place that online through their website. They made it really easy and I was able to fulfill what everyone wanted through the various breakfast bagel sandwiches that they offered. When we showed up to the deli, everything was already ready and there are a few tables so we decided to just eat there to make it easier on the kids. We also decided to just get coffee there instead of trying to find another shop and the lattes that we got were both delicious. This place was super cute and exactly what we were looking for before heading to the zoo. It was not very busy at the time that we went, which was around 9am. Would definitely go back if we are ever in the area again!

I highly recommend the Sicilian on french bread and the buffalo chicken is also good. Their prosciutto is so fresh and delicious, i may start buying my lunch meat there! Pro tip - request french bread for buffalo chicken, the multi grain doesn't hit the same imo. There's always a cute little snack to find and their chip variety is the best. Deep River is way better than vickys. They have a nice patio where you can eat, or its a quick walk to the lakefront! They are also now on door dash!
