Double decker turkey sandwich
NiNi F.

I was greeted as soon as I came in. It's a small shop but they do have tables if u want to eat there. I had the double decker turkey sandwich and the chicken salad sandwich. I thoroughly enjoyed both sandwiches. They pile on the meat. My only complaint is they didn't put enough turkey bacon on the double decker. There's half a piece on each sandwich. It would be nice to get a half on the top and bottom layer since it is a double decker sandwich.

I stopped in for the first time and was warmly welcomed--customer service was definitely on point, which I appreciate. Gratitude for that. As for the food, it didn't quite live up to the hype. I tried the DJ's Jerk Turkey Panini, and unfortunately, it missed the mark for me--bland, underwhelming, and just not memorable. I also had the Blackened Greek Shrimp Salad and some of their "homemade" lemonade. The salad was decent--definitely better than the panini--but the lemonade tasted like sugary, store-bought juice. Nothing truly homemade or unique stood out. The decor and seating are fine, though the space is small and parking is limited--street parking only, so be prepared to circle the block if you're driving. Overall, a mixed experience. Great service, but the food didn't impress. Thank you for having me.

Fantastic service with the friendliest family of staff Tried them at lollapalooza, got the: Turkey burger bites bomb dot com fried plantains famous turkey monte cristo Sandwich (batter + light sugar with toast, cheese & turkey frie)d Veggie Philly cheese steak Homemade strawberry lemonade Seriously everything was delicious! Definitely would want to try the monte cristo and PLAINTAINS freshly fried in the shop likely the best PLAINTAINS I've had in Chicago When grabbing and going, I would recommend ordering on their website ahead of time vs using door dash/GrubHub.

Ordered via Uber Eats. First off, phenomenal customer service. A representative called me to inform me that I couldn't make a substitution (with the Turkey Cristo just FYI) and to ensure of my other requested substitutions, which I genuinely appreciated, because most restaurants don't take the time to resolve minor issues like that. Now the food. The jerk chicken wrap, phenomenal! 10/10. Really flavorful and not really spicy. Had mine with the tomato basil wrap. The salmon salad, I personally couldn't get into the caper dressing, but it is a nice accompaniment if you like capers. I'd try it again with a substitute dressing. The chili was really yummy too, and I don't really like chili. I'll definitely be returning and trying other menu items. Everything was fresh and well prepared, even if it wasn't my personal fave. Definitely a must try place!

Turkey Burger Bites. I ate 1.5 already . lol

I ordered from DoorDash and my dasher brought the food and it was still hot ! And I don't live that close. I got the turkey burger bites and mom got the veggie sandwich. My burger bites was good. I didn't care for the fries. The plantains were outstanding! I actually like them better than the burger!! The only thing with the burger is the bun was slightly chewy and that could be due to the travel. My mom loved her sandwich !!! The chocolate chip cookies were very good. The food was fresh ! When I eat here I don't feel bad. This is a healthier option for outside food. My mom devoured her sandwich so no pic of that lol

Thoroughly enjoyed my items from here but let me tell you about that damn salad! I'm willing to rank it as one of the best in the city after only one try. Twas huge to say the least, chock full of fresh ingredients, crisp, lettuce & that caper dressing was to die for. Seriously the staff should consider bottling the stuff & I'd be first in line! I also tried the jerk turkey sandwich & it was decent. I'd never think to pair jerk with turkey but it was a welcome difference from the often mundane jerk chicken found around the city. The jerk was very reminiscent of true jerk not the five alarm fire people assume is the authentic jerk flavor. The hours will unfortunately hinder me from becoming a regular but if given the opportunity I think think salad should be experienced by everyone.

The turkey sandwich comes warmed w/Turkey bacon, red onions, spinach and a homemade sauce.

This was my first time visiting Mabe's and I'll definitely return. I ordered a Turkey sandwich (I think) it had red onions, spinach, Turkey bacon and a homemade sauce. It was very tasty. The sandwich was warm and served on toasted bread. The potatoes were tasty too. The customer service was great and made to order. The ambiance is cafe style.

What's left of my Chicken Salad sandwich LOL
Alishja B.

Wow! We HIGHLY recommend this deli! If I could give 10 stars I would. Home made chicken salad is the best! Awesome Buffalo chicken wrap, smoothies are off the chain and the owners are great! Go and eat!!

Devin's buffalo chicken wrap is so good! Would definitely order again

The wrap was really good, not overly stuffed at all. Sauce was good and would definitely eat here again

BTL nasty I couldn't eat it !!!
Linda P.

The BLT is nasty !!! Spinach was on it not lettuce and when you think of BLT it's fresh tomatoes and lettuce not cook not hot ! You looking for crush not soggy!

Salmon Salad
Viviana T.

Service is impeccable! You are greeted with a smile even though they're often busy. The SALMON SALAD is literally to die for! Dave's Buffalo chicken wrap is such a crowd pleaser, my mom and boss always ask for that one when I run to get lunch. While I was waiting for my order, they had some samples. So I tried the chickpea salad sandwich which just so happens to be vegan ... IT IS BETTER THAN THE TUNA SALAD SANDWICH! Like dead serious. I can't wait for them to roll that one out next week. The chili is well seasoned and is better than expected for a fast food chili. It is not your mama's but it'll do for a nice hot side on a gloomy day like today. Strawberry banana smoothie is super good but it is not too sweet so if you are looking for a desert- try something else. It was perfect t for me but might not be up your alley. MY ADVICE: get lunch with your boo or coworker, choose 2 items from the menu and split them. You. Will. Not. Be. Disappointed. It was lovely to see a woman-led kitchen; they were moving like a well oiled machine. They are on door dash as Mabe's Deli! & I've been 3 times now and never wrote a review so I had to write y'all an essay today.

Have had it before but it was packaged and sold through a food distributor to a local restaurant where I'm from at one point and never did disappoint!

Free parking in the back lot behind the restaurant is a huge plus to this space that is massive because parking in Chicago is an expensive nightmare! The pastrami was delicious and quite massive for the price! My only complaint would be that I wish the whole Navels were hot and slice fresh to order, but this is a super, old school Deli that knows their business and I see why they won't reinvent the wheel on that one. My date had the roast beef and it was super rare. The staff were more than accommodating and ready to answer all your questions and make sure you are happy. Place is massive and had a market off to the side which is really awesome if you want to get something to go! Definitely would Go back in a heartbeat!

When given an option I will pick a small business over corporate America any day... And this owner just gave me another good reason why. Kudos to a business owner with pride and concern.

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.

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.

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.
