    Slicing meats fresh
    Karan H.

    My goodness, what a F BOMB hole in the wall spot in edgewater. I enjoy riding my bike and exploring new places to happened to stumble upon this. Small bodega but we'll equipped to make the meanest subs ever. I got the corned beef with a bunch of fixins. Workers were super helpful and the sandwich was HUGE. The entire place emanated a NYC bodega/chopped cheese/the ocky style vibe. The deli is super close to the beach so I ended up biking down there and enjoying it on a bench. Bread from turano + meats from dietz & watson. Everything was sliced fresh (both meats and cheese). Ps: This is what subway strived to be with that BS "eat fresh" slogan and Hollywood deli has more than succeeded

    I wasn't sure what to expect from the sandwiches at Hollywood Deli but I was impressed. I have always seen the sign for Hollywood and I can finally check it off my bucket list. The deli is located inside of a convenience store. It's located on the back wall past the cash register. I was surprised by the variety of offerings that Hollywood Deli had. They list roughly 6 - 8 sandwiches that you can pick from the menu. I wouldn't be surprised if you can make a custom sandwich from the deli meat options in front of you. The cool thing about Hollywood Deli is that they slice the meat in front of you. The gentleman that made my sandwich was generous with his portions so I was able to get two sandwiches from a six inch. Having the meat sliced fresh made the sandwich taste better. I do like that you can pick up other essential items while grabbing your food. The inside is larger than I expected, especially being connected to an apartment building. I can see myself becoming a regular at Hollywood Deli just for the sandwiches alone. The prices are reasonable for the deli items as well as the essential items.

    When you enter, this corner store may just seem like your typical neighborhood stop for snacks or any items you may have forgotten from your trip to the grocery store. What you see when you go to the back is a full on deli, carrying a wide variety of deli meats, cheeses and toppings. I came with a friend wanting to get a quick italian beef. We came on a Wednesday night and quickly were able to order our 6" italian beef sandwiches. The man behind the counter was friendly and made our sandwiches swiftly. I was impressed to see they cut all their meats and cheeses on demand, ensuring freshness. First thing I noticed was how loaded the sandwich was. The price is generous for how much beef and peppers they give you. They also soak half the loaf to ensure the meat juices flavor covers the bread. The meat was tender, and the giardiniera is what you'd expect to get. The bread was soft but kept the mountain of meat inside nicely. It was delicious. I am eager to come back and try some other types of sandwiches they offer.

    No frill behind this beef. Really good for $8. It's also convenience store so you can grab some chips & a drink if that makes it better for you. Juices tasted solid and the meat was the best consistency. Dude was super chill.

    Easily one of the best spots in the neighborhood, quality sandwiches, and the owners are always very friendly.

    No nonsense, best deli sandwich on the north side of Chicago at the cheapest price. Hands down.

    12" roast beef with buffalo cheddar!
    Shannon C.

    Stopped in to get a case of LaCroix and figured I'd get a sandwich. I wrongly assumed they'd be pre-made in a refrigerator case. Not only are they making them fresh to order, they're cutting the meat and cheese fresh too! And when they say 12", they mean it! Got a turkey yesterday and went back today for a roast beef. So much better than Subway and very reasonably priced. Definitely found my new go-to sandwich shop!

This is one of best sandwiches Ive had in a long time. The pork tenderloin was fried in buttermilk to the perfect crunchy texture w/the interior pork tender & moist. Add the green apple coleslaw for a great crunchy texture, the yellow mustard to add the perfect vinegary flavor & you have an awesome meal. This comes w/fries cooked to an excellent crunchy texture. They have a pretty extensive menu but this sandwich was so dam good I'm sure I will order it again. Yolanda was the server in Falcons. She did an awesome job being the only person working the dining room at the time. Look at this menu selection. There are so many items but you know how it is when you find something that is for me near perfection you know anything else you order will not live up to what you had. You will be left thinking that you had stayed w/the original option. Like they say once you've had the best why try the rest. Maybe after eating it multiple times I will be willing to try something else.

They offer a student and teacher discount during the week, but even without it, the prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. The owner-chef, who previously worked for Eatly, also serves a variety of pasta dishes and gelato. They have a rotating soup menu and seasonal specials. During November, you don't want to miss the thanksgiving sandwich. I'm looking forward to finally trying the gelato this summer.

    I'm very disappointed with my experience with JB's Deli today…read more I ordered two Reuben sandwiches and a Cobb salad, with a total bill of approximately $65. The Reubens were OK, although I found them to be fairly dry. More concerning, however, was what happened with the salad. The Cobb salad came with two packets of blue cheese dressing. When I opened one and put it on the salad, I noticed that the color looked unusual. I checked the packet and discovered that the Best By date was November 23, 2025, nine months past the date. Obviously, I did not feel comfortable eating the salad and had to throw it away. It also left me questioning whether the other food I received was handled appropriately. I am now concerned about whether the Thousand Island dressing served on the Reubens was also expired. I attempted to contact the deli to give them an opportunity to address the issue. The first time I called, someone answered but there was dead air and then they hung up. I called again and explained the situation to a woman who answered. She apologized and asked me to hold a moment. I waited on hold for 10 minutes before giving up. When I called back again, no one answered. Mistakes can happen, but serving a customer two dressing packets that are nine months past their Best By date is a serious food-safety and quality-control issue. What has made the experience even more frustrating is that, after spending $65, I have been unable to get a meaningful response from the restaurant. For this reason, I will be disputing my credit card charge and will not be returning to JB's Deli. I hope management takes this seriously, reviews the dates on their prepared foods and condiments, and addresses how customer food-safety concerns are handled.

I decided to come to Beard & Belly since I had it bookmarked and it was close to where I was. We were able to get seated right away and received outstanding service. My wife ordered their Chicken & Waffles which I don't see on the menu anymore. This dish was really delicious. The chicken was seasoned and fried perfectly. It came with hot honey so it added a little bit of heat and sweetness. I ordered their Red Eye Pastrami. It came with pastrami, a fried egg, cheddar cheese, Dijon and greens. All in a ciabatta bread. I will admit though, "coffee & hot sauce" were in parentheses. I didn't taste neither in this sandwich. Did I not understand the assignment? Was I supposed to order coffee and then put hot sauce in this sandwich. Regardless, the sandwich definitely hit the spot. Don't think I've ever had a sandwich with pastrami and eggs before. I've been missing out. The ciabatta bread was also very soft. Such a perfect bread for this sandwich. It also came with hash browns. They had a tasty seasoning on them. Salty, but tasty. They offered garlic aioli or ketchup with these. Ketchup is probably the way to go. Really difficult to earn with the aioli, the hash browns fall apart if you try to dip them in the aioli. I can't wait to come back.

We started with beer from an extensive list (updated daily, per our server). I had a Kwak red ale served in a creative glass with its own little supporting stand. Hubs got an IPA and I can't remember which one. Daughter ordered a ginger ale. All tasty! We started with the poutine fries. Very good!! We cleared the plate. Then I had a smash burger - it was good, but I forgot I am not a fan of American cheese which made the burger...I don't know, creamy? The burger itself was good. Hubs and daughter sampled it and loved it. Hubs had the brisket Reuben and loved it. Daughter had the sausage platter and loved the sausages -- 2 kinds -- and potatoes. No room for dessert.

When you first walk in, you have to show your ID since this is an adults-only bar establishment. (1) You can then choose to sit in the front bar area, if you want a full menu, but use the bar for ordering service. (2) If you keep walking through the front bar area, you reach the host stand at the top of the ramp. This is where you can put your name in to sit in the main dining room, upstairs, or outside. (3) However, you can also walk through to the left of the host stand to another bar area that has full menus, but bar service for ordering. This is our preferred spot because we can often find a seat and order with the bar. Do note that, during busy times, part of this bar area is managed by the host stand and will be labeled as such. The extensive beer menu is our favorite. We have our favorite food items, so all our decision making revolves around which beer we will get. They always have a bit of everything style-wise, from all over the world, but with a local-brewery focus. Seasonal emphasis is also taken into consideration when they curate the beer list. It is always rotating and we love it! Beers are served in the recommended glasses from the breweries. It's a great drinking experience from start to finish! Our food orders are eternally set: I get the Nueske Ham sandwich with fries and aioli. My husband gets the Reuben sandwich with fries and aioli. This meal is so perfect we'll probably never get anything different, despite the menu being delicious across the board. The wildest we get is sometimes splitting the two sandwiches. No reason to mess with a good thing! Other notable great things about Hopleaf: (1) Kind, knowledgeable, and professional staff. (2) Reasonable prices for high quality and great variety products. (3) Clean Belgian Bar decor/vibe with lots of space for folks to enjoy their time. (4) They are open late and serve food late. Thank you for being an amazing local spot, Hopleaf! We'll see you soon!
