Placing my order was quick, menus everywhere, helpful staff ready and waiting! The sandwich had fresh, cold, crisp ingredients.

In light of Rosh Hashanah, we were looking for Jewish places to eat and came across Schmaltz Deli…read more We never knew there was a Jewish deli in the area and boy were we missing out. As soon as we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great experience. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables available as well as a traditional deli counter. They also have a drive thru! You can choose to order at the counter or be seated with a more traditional restaurant-like service. Our waiter was young but very professional and provided great recommendations. To start, they bring a complimentary bowl of bagel chips (a unique twist and a great way to repurpose old bagels). For my meal, I had a half American sandwich with a bowl of matzo ball soup. It was simple but delicious. On our way out, we stopped at the deli and ordered a few rugelach. They tasted so fresh! My favorite was the apricot flavor. Definitely hope to be back real soon to support such a great spot! Shana Tova!

Tony and Tina's is right up there with the best of them, no question. Got the Club for $11.99 with chips and a drink, plus $4 to make it a large. This thing was absolutely MASSIVE. They do not skimp on a single thing. Loaded with meat, toppings, and just an insane amount of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and the portions are ridiculous, especially for the price. On top of that, the service was super friendly. Just an all-around great experience. I've had a LOT of subs over the years, and this one seriously blew me away. If you know a good sub, you need to give this place a shot. One of the best I've had, hands down. Tony and Tina's is the real deal.

Made me feel at home, especially as a non Chicago native who didn't understand the love IL has with giardinera (east coast we just call em hot and sweet peppers)...explained the lunch menu and that it came with chips and a drink. Sandwich itself... fantastic! Well proportioned, bread was solid. Hot giardiniera was GREAT. Fantastic flavor, and the sandwich held up well with the meats. Overall, solid sandwich option - supporting small local businesses!

The meatballs were delicious, the sauce actually was very good and I don't even like mushrooms at all. The second item I got was the meat filled dumplings, and those were really good. They were actually a lot better than I thought they would be. The third item I tried was the smoked Polish sausage. I will be honest, this was not my favorite. It was not bad, but the flavor on it I did not like as much as other Polish places I've tried. I definitely want to go back and try their cabbage and noodles and pigs in a blanket. They also have desserts that I will have to try as well. They do sell sandwiches, Chicago style hotdogs, and have a small grocery store inside.

Have tried a few times the past 18 months or so with very good priced groupons, BUT I will no longer go back. The large sandwich which the bun was much less bread than the last time and there was not enough meat to cover the entire bun. Fries were way greasier than in the past. The meat has grizzle chunks in them. We have been the only customer in the place the last few times. Way too overpriced for the size and quality. You get a way better sandwich at Cozzi Corner or Jersey Mike's. Our family really used to be a fan of the Mojo's, but I am not sure how much longer they can stay in business.

Not only does this shop fully support the community -- even naming sandwiches after nearby schools, they also have a wide variety of delicious offerings. I haven't lived in IL for about 10 years and I decided to take a walk down memory lane and visit Berto's like I did regularly so many years ago. It hit theeee exact same. Family traditions so strong you can taste them in every bite and they've now carried that torch successfully for nearly three decades. This family owned Deli is exact place you want to support and the best spot to stop for lunch or a quick to-go dinner to bring home to the family. They also have prepped frozen pasta and sauces. Parking behind the building and cutting through the alley makes it easily accessible.

It's a…read morecute little neighborhood spot with both indoor and outdoor seating and a very low-key, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely the kind of place that's easy to stop into when you're looking for something simple and unfussy. We ordered the Italian beef with hot giardiniera and a garden salad. The standout for me was actually the bread--it was fresh, soft, and really elevated the sandwich. The beef itself was decent, but it was drier than I expected and didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping for. Thankfully, the hot giardiniera added some much-needed moisture and spice, which helped bring the sandwich together. The garden salad was very basic--just lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes--but the Italian dressing was excellent and packed with flavor. Sometimes a great dressing is all a simple salad needs. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would come back, but next time I'd probably skip the Italian beef and try one of their deli sandwiches instead. Based on what I've heard and seen, that seems to be where Berto's really shines.
