    Bacon, eggs and grits. Classic breakfast.
    Shelby C.

    Moons for the win on a quick and classic breakfast. Bacon, eggs scrambled well and grits, did not disappoint! They don't have cheddar cheese which I love in my grits, if your like me and love cheese. run across the street to Pete's and grab you some chedddaaaahhhh.

    This place is a gem. A dying breed. A classic. Zero frills. Just damn good diner food served by really nice people. Go for breakfast. Go for lunch. Whatever you do, don't miss out on the corned beef on rye. Say hi to Jimmy the owner when you're there. He's been serving the community since 1979.

    Moon's Cornbeef Plate with 2 Slices of Wheat Bread, Salad w/ Italian Dressing, Corn, and Mashed Potatoes ( w/gravy on the side).

    Moon's located at 16 S. Western, Chicago, IL 60612. I thought Moon's was closed...Hadn't been there since before the C-pandemic. During a telephone conversation with a friend (South Sider) he said "I gotta taste for a Moon's Cornbeef Plate" I said "What...Moon's is open???" He said "To his knowledge they never closed." It was about 9 pm when we were having this conversation. The next day I couldn't wait to pull-up at Moon's. It took me 45 minutes to get there from the Western Suburbs (I didn't care). It's still a challenge to find a park; however, Moon's is still the same clean small sandwich shop that I remembered it to be with friendly staff that greet you when you walk in. I ordered a "Corn beef Plate to Go." The plate cost $24 and consisted of "Thin Sliced very Tender Corn beef, Salad w/Italian Dressing, Corn, 2 Slices of Wheat Bread (your choice of bread) Mashed Potatoes w/Gravy ( I got my gravy on the side). Everything was delicious! It was Sooo much food. It took me 2 days to finish the plate. Everything was still delicious the next day.

    3 pancake, grits, bacon, and eggs

    A MUST VISIT!!! The food was the most amazing breakfast I've ever had -- I'm back in Utah and I'm still craving it. Loved the service and ambiance of the place it really is fun and welcoming! Very warm customer service. Will for sure be stopping by again when I'm back in the area!

After watching their YouTube video, we had to try it. I called in an order for their Signature Italian Sandwich and also the Pizza Sandwich. It was ready on 15 minutes. Super friendly service, plus they have a full bar. I bet this place is a good time afterwork. Anyway, my husband and I shared the sandwich. And it was so good. The bread had the right level of crust and the topping were so fresh. I regret only ordering a sandwich to share. I wanted that whole damn thing to myself. We ended up eating the pizza Sando for dinner with a salad. The Pizza sandwich was so good. It looks like a flat bread but it was so good. We heated it up in the air fryer and it was perfect. My photo doesn't do it justice as it had sat on my counter for an hour, but believe me it was delicious. Check this place out. I definitely could go for another sandwich before I exit Chicago.

    It's been a month since I flew to Chicago and tried this place, but it's absolutely a place you…read morecannot forget. Small spot you could casually pick up food and walk to if you're around downtown. Lots of cheese and sauce with a beautiful baguette to remind you that this place makes pizza too. Dough, cheese, and sauce are what this place really excels in. It's no surprise that they do it well across the board. Out of the sandwiches I tried, the gardinera pairs the best with the Drunken Chicken sandwich. I'm unsure if my hunger pangs were amplifying my experience, but this sandwich was something of legends... The ingredients combo into something a little too unfair to not be distributed to the rest of America. The food really feels special when you have it late night after a really long day of fun. The people are casual and nice and didn't make it awkward to eat there even though the place itself is quite small. Considering cops came in to order here out of all the places around, I can see how anyone could make this their staple spot.

    I order via delivery once or twice a week and Nonna's is on repeat. It's solid and travels well…read more Today I ordered the drunken chicken, which is a chicken parm with vodka sauce, and pesto. It is shareable and hearty. The bread is so good. It's crusty and soft on the inside. It allows the right amount of sauce to soak in without being a giant mess. I don't consider it a save half and eat later sandwich though. In my experience it loses a bit of structure if not eaten right away. I have had the turkey, tuna, and meatball sandwich as well. All good and able to split into 2 meals and they save well. As mentioned, this spot is on repeat for me and haven't disliked anything. The pizza is ok but I wouldn't choose it as my pizza spot. There are better but if you are in a pinch a single slice option is nice. I enjoy the little Tiramisu cup. Perfect size. If you normally scroll by and wonder if you should try Nonna's go ahead. It's a good option.

I walked in and the incredible smell hit me, all the meats and bread on display, everything looks fresh. The crew behind the counter was top notch, super friendly and on it. Menu has a lot, but for my first time I went with the Italian. Hot capicola, Genoa salami, hard salami, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red wine vinegar, oregano. First bite... everything just came together. The meats were layered perfectly, salty, a little spicy from the capicola, super flavorful. The provolone added that creamy, slightly sharp bite. Bread had a nice chew on the outside but soft inside, held everything without falling apart. The vinegar and oregano gave it that tang and freshness that cuts through all the richness. Nothing felt too heavy, just balanced. It's one of those sandwiches you don't wanna put down halfway through. I'll definitely be back to try more.

    It's almost like being around my Italian cousins out on the East Coast…read more.. We were fortunate enough to be having dinner at an Italian restaurant in the same block, and I saw that they were open until midnight. I decided to grab a grinder and a couple of cannoli after dinner to consume the next day for lunch. They utilize a walk-up window for their later hours. I believe I mentioned during ordering that we "do not get grinders like this in Cali" and they were kind enough to let us indoors (surely knowing this weather was nearly "Antarctic penguin cold" for us) while our order was being finished. I saw various jars of giardiniera and muffuletta and could not resist buying a couple. Our store associate kindly wrapped them well in plastic wrap to ensure safe travel back to Cali. Our sandwich maker was a cool guy as well and conversational with us. They even gave us some brief family history on the place. Unfortunately, without my knowledge the wife set us up with an Uber while waiting so we had to dash and run to make our next stop before their closing time. "Foodies are as foodies do"... The FOOD review: CANNOLI w/cherries: -- it appears they use Amarena Bologna cherries which are so much better tasting than the standard maraschino bright red ones. I prefer morello cherries or these when using them in cannoli pie or on Chicago style or ricotta cheesecake. -- cheese tastes of cow's milk ricotta and is well strained so not watery -- lightly sweet is appreciated as it should be...no fake Italian sugar bomb with chocolate sauce and whipped cream like they do in Cali sometimes -- smaller portion size but value is good -- smoother textured than grainy -- shell is light colored and pretty solid -- up to a moderate dusting of powdered sugar on exterior -- appears freshly filled as there is no soggy shell syndrome whatsoever, crunchy and firm (I ate one two days later and it still had a firm shell) -- I have about 8 different cannoli pie recipes I created and make for friends, family and colleagues now and then. I transitioned to pie ages ago because there are so many bad shells and a graham cracker crust is always legit and easy to find. -- IMHO this is a much better and truer cannoli rendition than what you will find at D'Amato's Bakery in Chicago RATING = A "MR. G SPECIALTY GRINDER": -- I briefly considered "The Italian" or asking for a combo of the two but this stood out so I stuck with it -- I requested it "wet" as I hate anything dry (bread, meat etc.) and prefer extra "juice" (red wine vinegar, EVO) -- bread is not thick nor thin but just right with great texture, taste and freshness -- loved all the flavors and additions -- not a moose overloaded grinder but just right for those out of their twenties who do not need "sandie leftovers for days" -- good value here too RATING = A+ They even sell some appealing looking BLOOD ORANGE (and other flavors) sorbet. I definitely recommend them for a super hospitable Italiano experience with great eats. They even made the "Top Sandwich joints" in America list by Food & Wine magazine per associate and a quick Internet search.
