Their pecan bread is AMAZING! Fresh fruit and veggies, bakery, butcher, frozen foods, wine and spirits, specialty sodas, interesting specialty foods, sundries, a God send! I was especially grateful this week when my hubby ripped the turkey bag and we needed another one on Christmas Eve and did not want to go all the way to Jewel Osco - we ended up with a ton of good stuff that was not on the list, but it was so worth it! So glad you are just down 1st Street from us!

Known for their classic New York-style sandwiches, house-cooked corned beef and pastrami, and traditional deli staples like matzo ball soup, latkes, knishes, and fresh bagels, this place truly delivers the full deli experience. Their bagels are traditional NYC style -- boiled, topped, proofed, and baked fresh daily. My husband and I tried the Asiago cheese, spicy pepperoni, and onion bagels, and they were all delicious. Inside the deli you'll also find a huge selection of freshly baked goods including: * Rugelach * Cherry & Strawberry Carnegie-style creamy cheesecakes * Colossal chocolate eclairs * 5-layer carrot cake & chocolate blackout cake * Classic black & white cookies They make 16 different bagels daily along with pastries, and more. You can also grab house-made soups, their popular egg salad, bagel chips, and other deli favorites to-go. The best Matza-ball soup I have ever had! I ordered the #37 Stuffed Grilled Cheese from their creative sandwich menu -- made with sharp cheddar, Schmacon, mayo, two crispy latkes, all stuffed inside challah bread. Wow. From the moment you walk in, owners Mark and Tonia make you feel like you're visiting friends. You can tell many guests are regulars, and anyone new is welcomed with the same warm smile. Our server Paul was AMAZING and helped guide us through the menu. Schmaltz has earned recognition from Chicago Tribune dining lists and West Suburban Living's "Best of the West 2025." Drive-thru available Private party/event room Seasonal outdoor patio seating They also have a wall of photos from guests who travel near and far to visit, which really shows how special this place has become to the community. If you haven't been here yet, definitely add it to your foodie list.

Talked to the owners, who are just the people you want there to be in the world. They gave us a little sample of hot corned beef while we waited for the magic. Melt in your mouth deckle, after battling chewy or tough fat from other places, felt like my long-lost love coming home from the sea. We ate the sandwich in the car and talked about how great it was to have a beloved food item that was just perfection, like knowing there was something out there in the world that would always make you happy. 10/10, no notes. The pickles plucked on the strings of my heart, thinking about the old pickle barrels from The Milk Pail and other places long gone. "Next time I see you I'll be looking at you." We'll be back soon.

This store is ALWAYS CLEAN…read more However, they are also EXPENSIVE, and the advertised prices on the shelves are different from what comes up at checkout. I have noticed that I "usually" have to pay attention to the price on the shelf vs. the checkout price. Just today, 4/18/26, I bought Mrs. Fisher's potato chips. Price on the shelf: $3.99. (GREAT DEAL - Which is specifically why I BOUGHT THEM). Price at checkout: $4.69. Customer Service was very nice (Symone). Went to check pricing, came back and said: That's for the smaller bag. My reply: Well, THIS size (1.5lb) is sitting behind the $3.99 tag. She gave me a DOLLAR back immediately. I made $.30. No need to get heated, she was wonderful, so big deal, right? My issue is NOT with her. NO. This is my most recent experience. It's happened before, and I always get a bit more in refund than what's truly the difference. However, THIS HAPPENS A LOT with Schmucks. We rarely shop there due to their being expensive, and this "price hike at checkout". This is actually ILLEGAL in Illinois, and Schmucks seems to make a practice of it. BEWARE SHNUCKS CUSTOMERS in DeKALB......you may be paying more than you legally have to.

You order from the deli, and your order is prepared in view in the back. I had the chicken bacon cheddar (round) sandwich and Mac n Cheese. Flavor was good, and the bun was really fresh. (Banana peppers helped) The service was prompt and the conditions were clean. The bathrooms are very clean, and here's the kicker with that: you get your own little bathroom so no "camo cough" is necessary if you need that safety feature. All in all, I'd go back. We had to leave, so I didn't get to try the frozen yogurt, so maybe I'll do a review just for that, next time.

The moment you walk in, you can feel the neighborhood charm that lets you know you're in the right place. I ordered the Brazilian panini and it was outstanding! Everything tasted incredibly fresh -- the meats were flavorful, the veggies were crisp, and the bread was soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together. You can tell they take pride in the little details. What really sets Ellie's apart, though, is the service. Everyone is genuinely warm, patient, and happy to help you decide if you're stuck between a couple of options. It feels like the kind of place that remembers you after a few visits. If you're in Naperville, whether you're a local or just passing through, Ellie's Deli should absolutely be on your list. Great food, great people, and a true neighborhood spot worth experiencing!

The butcher and pit master, showed me the fresh cuts, including organic Amish chicken, seasoned with his distinctive spices, I can tell you it was a hit with the family. I also got the meat and sausage roll and the two meat combo with pork chop and bbq ribs, yummy. The hot food comes rapped with aluminum foil with each hot item getting its own pocket of foil. Like I said, this is Americana, with that hint of nostalgia come a lot of food for a very reasonable price, including home made salads, like traditional loaded potatoes salad, creamy coleslaw to more adventurous, Shrimp Macaroni Salad, and Bowtie Crab Salad. I will definitely have to get some steaks and home made sausages for the grill monster, and might even try some of their fresh habanero cornbread. Man my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Clean and not to dark in the gaming area. Customer clientele was pretty decent too. Had 5 machines with lots of variety on each machine. Played the Vegas Royale and hit it big. Couple 100 bucks in about an hour. Machines were clean too. Guy next to me got up and the lady working there came over quickly and wiped down the machine and seat. She asked me when I walked in if I wanted a complimentary soda or water. After my winnings I bought a hot dog and a cold beer. The beer was reasonable at 2 bucks. Hot dog was huge and a real bargain at 3 bucks. The had all the fixins and make it there fresh. Dog was awesome and when I say fresh it's not in some warmer or popped into the microwave, this dog came out of the fridge and onto the grill. Yum! Overall I had a great experience here and would highly recommend! The people working there were great. While I was eating my dog the gal working there has the Blackhawks game on the radio down low. Asked her if it was the Hawks game and she said yes and turned it up a bit so I could hear it (game wasn't televised) which I appreciated. Liked it here so much I came back the next night. This place is awesome!
