Not just for catering! D'Masti's is an excellent lunch spot. I particularly enjoy their sandwiches…read moreand wraps, but their deli is very good as well. There are plenty of salads you can order by the pound as well as a host of meals to-go that you can take and heat up for dinner. There are also numerous baked goods to choose from-- anything from brownies to lemon bars to loaf cakes to rice crispie treats. It's more of a grab & go type of place, so please note that there isn't any indoor seating, but they have a picnic table outside which comes in handy for the "Summer Grills" they host in their parking lot on Fridays. I'd say they are most famous for the potato salad, broccoli salad, chili, and muffalletas. My hubby loves their roast beef sandwiches, seasoned fries, and mozzarella sticks. I favor their Monterey Turkey Wrap or Caesar Salad Wrap with potato salad. Blue Islanders, don't forget to patronize this local spot! They are more than worthy of adding to your list of regular lunch spots.

It's about 25 mins from my house. Being lazy but couldn't let it go. So I went and got a container of potato salad and a lemon bar. Walking out forgot to ask for a fork. Because I knew as soon as I got in my car I was going to try it. Very very good. While thinking why is this so good? Hard to explain. It's creamy little bits of celery. Potato pieces are a perfect size. Just plain goodness. Moving on to the lemon square. Didn't try until later that evening. Not an expert on lemon squares but damn this was so so delicious. The tart/sweet perfect. But the buttery crust just perfect. One more bite, one more but it had me hooked like a junkie! All gone. Now the issue is it's late and they are closed if course. But I needed my fix. Now it's the next morning. 2 hours until they open. Decisions decisions... Very nice people. A wonderful experience.

I've been patronizing lets get poppin' for years and the popcorn is always good! However, I visited the store on Friday July 1st around noon. I purchased my regular popcorn and left. When I got home I started eating it and to my surprise it didn't seem as fresh as usual. I didn't make a big deal about it because I knew that if I called and told them the problem, that they would replace it. I called this morning (July 2nd at 10:50am) and told the lady on the phone my issue. I simply told her that the popcorn wasn't fresh and asked her if I could bring the popcorn back with my receipt today to get some more. She told me no, because they make their popcorn fresh everyday and there is no way it could NOT be fresh. She went on to say "we tell our customers to keep the popcorn in a cool environment etc" i literally went straight home with the popcorn!!!!! I feel that they could have accommodated my request and truly don't appreciate it! I've never had a problem with this place.... This is ridiculous read more

This popcorn is so good. I am hooked on the cheese but you have got to try the Jalapeno Red Pepper. I usually get the cheese to share with my family and the Jalapeno to eat on the ride home.

Aside from it being a black-owned business, their popcorn tastes incredible and they have a variety of flavours. It's common for Chicago-ins to compare them to Garrett's and I gotta believe Moore Poppin ends up on top more often than not. It's not cheap. Most specialty products aren't, ya know. IMHO, the satisfaction we get from their product is worth spending a few extra coins for. Two quick tips: 1. Don't bring cash 2. When not eating, seal as much air out of the bags as possible. From experience I can tell you, if left out it will go stale and not taste very good. It's a wonderful stop with wonderful folks and the best aroma, ever! I wish we could get back there more often. 08/25

I usually go to the wedding the city by Roberto Clemente on Western and Cortez until I discovered this one.

They even had duck eggs that the Amish are up in Chicago says they are running out because of a season chain on ducks laying eggs. I had ordered the cherry pie but the disappointment was on Sundays they run out of pies by Saturday. It is best if you're going to order Amish pies to call in and reserve a pie at additional charge until you go to the store. The milk which is more traditional than oberweis or organic milk since you have to shake it in the bottle and drink it tasted much better and unique and doesn't give you gassiness or you're about to fart in the regards to being lactose intolerance I drank like three bottles of chocolate milk I didn't get a chance to take a picture cuz I was kind of in a hurry.
