    Chicken salad sandwich on onion roll
    Rpisces G.

    Healthy heaping of chicken salad, sandwich came with side of chips or baked beans or potato salad

    Egg and cheese bagel on everything Veggie cheese sandwich - A bagel sandwich with egg and cheese is cut in half and placed on parchment paper inside a basket. The sandwich contains scrambled eggs and melted cheese. A bottled drink with a yellow label is positioned behind the sandwich. In the background, a person is holding a sandwich with visible lettuce, tomato, and bread, and a small bottle of hand sanitizer is also on the table.

    This place was DELICIOUS! The staff was kind, fast, and helpful! I really adored the cheese vegetable sandwich. Their butter sprinkle cookies are also fantastic. Good time all around with three different searing options! 10/10

    A partially eaten turkey sandwich with slices of cheese, lettuce, and tomato on white bread, resting on a paper wrapper on a table. The sandwich contains layers of sliced turkey, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, with some crumbs and bits of bread around it. The background shows a reflective surface and some objects, indicating an indoor setting.

    Excellent sandwich! I don't know why there are so many negative reviewers on here, I always find the service great. The people behind the counter have wonderful sassy personality. Huge portions and good value.

    Turkey pastrami, Pastrami Sandwich - The image shows a metal outdoor table with two large sandwiches, one with sliced roast beef and the other with turkey, lettuce, and tomato. There is a bag of Ruffles potato chips, a pickle, a small cup of pasta salad with cherry tomato, and a green soda can. A person's hand and arm are visible, resting on the table, with a watch on their wrist. The setting appears to be an outdoor dining area.

    10/10 service, food, and ambiance. We got the turkey pastrami and pastrami sandwiches and both were huge portions and very fresh and delicious. The staff was very friendly. We sat on the patio and it was great! Classic deli experience.

    A person is holding a large sandwich with multiple layers of meats, cheese, and dark bread, wrapped in foil, inside a car. The background shows the steering wheel, dashboard, and ignition switch, indicating the photo was taken inside a vehicle. The sandwich appears substantial with various ingredients visible from the side view.

    Terrible service waited a half hour for a sandwich. They told me to go have a seat. I finally came back after 15 minutes. I had a bag of chips and a soda in my hand. I had finished them. The guy said what are you waiting for? I told him a Reuben. Five minutes later, he gives me the Reuben. It had been sitting on the sandwich Press for like 20 minutes. He then accused me of taking the wrong chips. He said I was supposed to take ruffles. I told him I paid $26 for a can of Soto a bag of chips and a sandwich. He waited and went back and asked another employee if he charged me correctly. The other employee said that I paid for those chips. No apology.

    The image shows two sandwiches with sliced meats, cheese, and vegetables, placed on a tray. One sandwich appears to contain corned beef or pastrami, while the other has a different type of deli meat, with visible shredded cheese and vegetables. A pickle and a bag of Ruffles potato chips are also on the tray. The setting suggests a casual dining environment, likely at a deli or sandwich shop.

    JB's Deli is a sandwich lovers dream! I was originally introduced to JB's via my husband a year ago but I never had the appetite to eat such a large sandwich. I finally randomly decided to check out JB's on a surprisingly busy day. The inside of JB's is a 1/3 sandwich counter, 1/3 miniature store, and a 1/3 sitting section in the back room. I didn't expect it to have so much going on inside but it gets very cramped when a lot of people are waiting for sandwiches and by a lot I mean 5 or 6 people. On the day I visited it was really busy and they were unfortunately short-staffed so the wait time was probably double what you'd normally encounter. I ordered the "My Cardiologist Needs a New Car" and it was massive. It was listed as roughly 3/4 pounds of deli meat and they did not lie. The sandwich was massive and I only managed to get through a quarter of the sandwich. Due to the size of the sandwich I was able to eat it over a couple of days. Next time I am going to opt for a sandwich that is promptly pastrami and/or corned beef because the brisket was a little flavorless. The saltiness from the other meats helped balance the flavors but it you had the brisket by itself it wasn't as delicious as the corned beef and pastrami. The overstuffed sandwiches are a great way to buy something that will last you a few meals and try out the different combinations of meats. I will definitely visit again to try out a different sandwich but I will pre-order so I can avoid any potential wait-time.

    JB's Deli is a cute local staple. They have such a big menu! They have sandwiches, baked goods, deli salads, plus a pharmacy in the back. I got their veggie and cheese sandwich and paid extra for extra cheese and avocado. The sandwich comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion. You can choose a side of pasta salad, baked beans, or chips, and it comes with a pickle. The sandwich was good, a very typical vegetarian sandwich. The best part of the sandwich was the amount of cheese they put on it and the onion bun it came on. The veggie sandwich didn't have any pizzazz though! I've been spoiled with how creative people have gotten with veggie sandwiches - micro greens, beets, hummus. I just wanted a little more! Although I wouldn't come back for this sandwich, they still had so many other vegetarian options that I would come back for, such as the pasta salad. The pasta salad had a lot of fresh herbs and was very yummy. They also had breakfast sandwiches, baked goods, baked beans, potato pancakes, blintzs. knishes, bagels, and more. Plenty of options! The inside of the deli is so cute. It seems like a classic old Chicago building with the tile floor, exposed brick wall, and ornate ceiling. There is some outdoor seating along the sidewalk if you have a nice day and want to eat outside. Otherwise they have additional seating behind the cashier. The deli is right off Clark street, so you can usually find parking or take the 22 bus. I would definitely come back here! It would be a great place to grab some food for a picnic by the lake.

    Came across this little shop while strolling through Andersonville. The sweetest and such kind staff! The bagel was so fresh and delicious and will definitely be back to try a sandwich! From what I'm seeing, they're HUGE and so cheap. The BEC was fresh and delicious, reminded me of a NYC bodega bagel.

    Matzo ball soup, chicken noodle soup, potato knish, pastrami sandwich - The image shows a sliced pastrami sandwich with white bread and meat filling, placed on crumpled white paper on a wooden table. Behind the sandwich are two large plastic cups filled with beverages, possibly iced tea or soda, with condensation on the cups. To the left, there is a small container of pasta salad with pasta, cherry tomatoes, and dressing, and to the right, a clear plastic container with a pastry. The background includes a kitchen setting with a stove and onions.

It's located in a busy part of River North with minimal parking options but I do believe they have 1 or 2 parking spots in the parking lot they share with the motel. It gets pretty busy on the weekend so I'd recommend going early or be prepared for a line. Ordered online the night before to take to a friend's for brunch. When I arrived to pick up my order, disappointingly, I was told that part of my order wasn't available because they hadn't been set aside in the morning. They offered to replace it with a different flavor and add a free schmear, but I'll admit I was super annoyed. I ended up getting some everything bagels to make some lox sandwiches with. Unfortunately the bagels were very mediocre (a step or 2 above a store bought bagel). I like my bagels chewy and moist, but these were dry and too fluffy for my taste. And weirdly enough, they were salty yet didn't have a very strong everything bagel flavor. To be fair, Chicago is severely lacking in good bagels, so not sure if I should fault Schneider's for that, or wherever they source their bagels from. Either way, I hope they get their online ordering system straightened out.

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.

I decided to cross over & check out this old world Italian Deli. Conti Di Savoia is small Italian grocery store w/an Italian deli that has w/outstanding & inexpensive sandwiches. When I went in there was a line of people waiting @ the deli counter waiting to place their order. I must have looked confused because the owner directed me & told the line started on the other side towards the back of the store. What I found was an awesome of fresh handmade sandwiches for a very reasonable price. I ordered an 8" pastrami w/mozzarella cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, red onions, mayo, & Italian oil drizzled. What I got was an awesome inexpensive sandwich loaded with/fresh ingredients. Absolutely delicious. After I got my sandwich the owner (I introduced myself (I think his name was Mike) rang up the sandwich. He said they have been there for 35 years. There's also a small dining area in the front of the store where I sat & devoured my sandwich. Like I said this is small Italian store w/a nice selection of products like meats, cheeses, pastas, wine, olive & deli items. I throughly enjoyed finding Conte Di Savoia. The pastrami sandwich was awesome w/a generous portion of pastrami & toppings for a reasonable price. I'm the type of person who who loves finding new places to eat. Most times unless I find great food & reasonable prices I won't go back but I feel like I found a real gem W/Conti Di Savoia. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN.

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.

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.
