So I had a taste for a corned beef sandwich and when AP Deli couldn't come through on the delivery, I decided to make a bold move and try someplace new. Enters Morry's Deli. I'm usually skeptical ordering corned beef sandwiches from places I never tried but I was craving and decided to give them a try. I can't believe I've lived in Chicago all my life and had never been here before. Needless to say I tried the combination pastrami and corned beef on white bread with mustard, mayo, onions, and Swiss cheese. A bomb!!! The pastrami was cooked slightly to add a slight crisp, and the corned beef wasn't fatty like most restaurants. I kept it old school with the toppings (they give you a nice size pickle spear w/it) but I was not disappointed. I would have rated more stars if they wouldn't skimp on the meat. I could've used a lil mo meat!!! But other than that I'll definitely return in the future. read more

There has been considerable change going on in the Hyde Park neighborhood. I'm thankful that this deli remains. Went with a combo turkey pastrami with yellow mustard on sub bread with lettuce tomato and onion. The sandwich wasn't overloaded with stuff but had good proportions and structural integrity. I could eat and enjoy it without worrying if the bread would hold up. read more

As usual, Morty's does not disappoint! The sandwich was delicious and was so big it had to be eaten in several meals. The Cole slaw was fresh and crisp. If you have to be in the hospital, at least you are close enough to order from Morty's! read more

Great Cornbeef sandwiches lots of corn beef! I have always stopped in here when ever I am in Hyde Park. Morrys is a definite staple of the Hyde Park community. read more

Extremely overpriced! $10 for a sandwich $2.75 to add fries... not extremely tasty but not nasty so definitely not worth the price. I won't be back ap deli is priced comparably and actually has choice of chips or fries included. Also corned beef is less fatty than I experienced here... I will stick to what I know from now on. read more

I really enjoyed the hot roast beef even tho it was a little overpriced at $9 ($7 would have been more appropriate). The pickle wasn't super dill but it was fairly dill. As for the interior of the establishment, it was decent. Only thing I didn't like was the absence of Wi-Fi, despite my phone picking up a signal. Other than that Morry's isn't a bad spot in Hyde Park to pick up a quick lunch. read more

This place was sooo tasty! It reminded me of NYC bagels which I miss so much. This place is made to order and when I went it wasn't too busy. The flavor of the sandwich was delicious and spot on. The hash browns were huge and complimented the bagel sandwich. I'd def recommend coming here if you're around the area for a quick and tasty breakfast! read more

Looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite after visiting the Museum of Science and Industry, we decided to visit Morry's Deli. I decided to go with the triple decker that included turkey, pastrami, cheese, lettuce tomato, and a "special sauce". The sandwich was solid- and I really liked the special sauce it was served with (a little on the sweet side). I was also relieved to find that although coleslaw is listed among the ingredients in the sandwich, it was actually served on the side! I appreciated the fact that there was LOTS of chip and soda options to choose from (I hadn't had a cream soda in ages!). If you are looking for quick/cheap lunch after the museum, Morry's is just a short walk away. read more

Morry's Deli's menu website looks better than the deli place itself. It looks like a gas station snack shop with no place to buy gas because it's on a corner of Cornell Ave by other trendy nice restaurants in that area. I didn't care for eating in there but we did because we were hungry enough to sit down and eat our meal. It's not kid friendly it's more like adults get their food and go or quickly eat it. They sell chips, good humor ice-cream, pastry desserts like pies and cookies. They also sell lotto there too. With that aside we tried two of their club sandwiches #1 Corned Beef, NY Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Onion, w/ Dusseldorf Mustard on Rye Bread, #3 Breast of Turkey, N. Y. Pastrami, Monterey Jack Cheese, Cole Slaw, Lettuce, Tomatoes, w/ Morry's Special Dressing on Wheat Toast Both were delicious I love their Pastrami and corn beef but their #3 blew me away with their special sauce, whatever that is it's good! I would get their deli meat again but I would prefer to get it go at eat it in the comfort of my home or bring it to the Museum of Science and Industry. read more

Passing thru Hyde Park stopped in to Morry's as it was recommended for their Rubin sandwiches. Small corner deli with people constantly shuffling in/ out. Great sandwich at a very reasonable price!!! Only 4 tables though so you might want to grab and go... read more

I placed a pick up order from here-thanks Yelp! A large chicken soup, and since it was here an Italian beef dipped with hot peppers and fries. Pick up was easy with minimal wait. The large soup was definitely that, basically a giant vat of warm, tasty comfort. The beef was good, have had worse, had better, but it was enough to kill my craving for it during my last visit. The large fries were also that providing me with more than enough to soak up all the beef jus from. I had no complaints about this place and if I'm back in Chicago again I'll probably order from there again soon. read more

Morry's is all about the nostalgia. That's it. There's nothing special in the way anything is prepared, the food is average and the interior is as basic as can be. It is actually less than a deli in terms of the offerings on the menu. It's the fact that the place is and has been a hub for the community, and tens of thousands of people remember the place fondly over decades and come from near and far for a sandwich from here. Whether or not the food is great is a moot point, for this reason. read more

We planned on grabbing dinner here tonight, but they decided to close 20 minutes early, so I guess that's not happening!

Outstanding food , great service with friendly smiles. Chicago dogs were great . Pastrami and corn beef sandwich which is the number one was awesome. read more

Morry's Deli - Outstanding food . The #1 New York pastrami Swiss cheese Corn beef, Chicago Dogs also fantastic. Great service with a friendly smile. - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Both our sandwiches were terrific. Filling, but not huge. The meat was amazing. This was our first visit. We'll be back.

This place is so tacky! It was a beautiful autumn day, and I was in the mood for chili. After calling a few places, I decided to try Morry's. This was my first time here, so I was really hoping I would like it so I could come back again. I asked about the sandwiches, and the first person working there wasn't very helpful. I asked about hot sandwiches and he mentioned he could "microwave" what otherwise was not normally served hot. No thanks. I'll stick with the chili. I ordered a large chili with cheese. They charge extra for cheese, and it amounted to almost $10. Overall I found the atmosphere dull. But I was focused on making my final decision based on the quality of the chili. I get to the register, and the next person working there is kind of rude, blurting out "What's up?!?!" which I found out of place. After I paid and received my chili, I asked for extra crackers. The size of the large chili was pretty big. I was barely given me more, so I asked again for more crackers please. This person complained and had a negative attitude about it. I couldn't believe it. We're talking about saltine crackers here. I was shocked yet amused that something so trivial caused such rude treatment of a customer. I almost lost my appetite. I concluded they are just rude in general, because when I called earlier about the chili the person I spoke with over the phone wasn't very nice either. The chili turned out to be average. I like that they make such a huge portion. I will never go back. I really wanted to like this place and come again. They need to work on their manners. I'm disappointed. I hope they treat people read more

Food and service is so-so. We had ordered for 12 people in dining and asked to use the restroom. There is no public bathroom and was not allowed to use their bathroom for a young child in our party. Seriously? No exception could be made after spending over $100? read more

The absolute BEST Deli establishment ever. I have been a loyal customer since I was in grade school at Bret Hart, and that was decades ago. I live on the East Coast. When I visit family, one of my priority stops is Morry's. My sandwich...Pastrami On Rye With Mustard With Mushrooms and Sweet Green Peppers. read more

The food was horrible! If you can even call it "food." I'd rather call it "fool" because they fool you with the ratings. The burger was burned, the bun tasted stale and the fries were cold and old. I asked for a replacement and was told "it looks fine to me." Maybe it looked fine to them because they were giving it to a black man, so I guess they think we don't care, but they are mistaken. The worst cornbeef sandwich in Chicago, hands down! Do not eat there and do not play the lottery, because when you win $50 they will always tell you they don't have the money but they have no problem taking your money for the lottery and laughing at you all the way to the bank. If you don't believe me, take a winning ticket there and see if they cash it for you if you're black. Don't let those empty smiles fool you, it's a nice way to do slavery. read more

I have passed this deli many times and finally decided to try it out. It's great! My corned beef sandwich was prefect. The pickle was good as well. No five stars because the price is high for the size of the sandwich, a little disappointing. I'll still go back when I am in the neighborhood. read more

So I tried Morrys today for the 1st time. Ordered the Reuben sandwich. I've always known a Reuben to have corned beef, Swiss cheese, Sauer kraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Had my mouth all set. But my mouth dropped open when I unwrapped my sandwich and saw that there was egg salad on it!! WTH? Even after I scraped it off, I couldn't stomach eating half of it. Is egg salad standard on a Reuben, and maybe I'm just not aware?? Making matters worse, the fries I ordered were refried!! (Like, when a restaurant has fries already cooked and they put them back in the oil to make them hot.) They were horrible!! You can betcha bottom dollar I will never, ever order food from Morry's again!! read more

I have been going to Morry's for decades since high school. The service is subpar and the corn beef sandwich was horrible. I can taste the new management in the building. read more

Quick stops are fun with redheads, especially the long-lost-friend kind. She sits across from you. You smile like it's 2001 and you're about to pick up your parents from the Amtrak. She offers to go along, and you misinterpret her intentions, but that's all right. And yet--and yet. Tara is a sweet gal. She's hasn't aged a year in eleven years, although she looks different, more mature. She was always mature, but when you're mature and find out what works and what doesn't work in life, you get less serious--if you're good at life, that is. And Tara is good at life. So she's serene, knows what she wants, and can take things in stride. Two hundred years ago, she would have been a nun. That's how self-assured she is. And she might have even been a nun now. Or, well, you don't even know what I mean. Morry's Deli is better than you think it will be. The service is good, and the people are friendly. I was shocked they had any kind of non-egg-salad veggie offering, but they did. A little too much Styrofoam and a little too little seating space for my tastes, but I was a visitor in Chicago, that fairest of fair cities to visit, and yet--and yet. I tried to get Esther to rent an apartment down the street. She'd be closer to CTU and the long lectures that she still loves. I don't think she'll ever go through with it, but I'm glad I helped her with parking, and I'm glad Tara is still Tara. Oaken Buckets have their places, as do Morry's Delis. And yet--and yet. read more

Like so many Hyde Park establishments, over-rated. To be fair, their sandwiches are fair. I've had the Reuben and the Lox, which were decent enough. This evening, I tried the hot Pastrami, and it was a disaster. The meat was feathery, mostly end bits with not a single substantial slice in there. The sandwich was easily the most carelessly made one I've ever had, and the Rye bread was insubstantial and incapable of holding up to the ingredients. Absolute crap. Nice staff, and it's a friendly neighbourhood place, which is why the two stars. And the previous sandwiches were fine. I'm wondering if the food just gets worse as the day drags on. Did I mention that my Pastrami on Rye was absolute crap? read more

I bet my four-year old daughter that Morry's Deli had better sandwich combos than Jimmy John's. She likes Jimmy John after nursery school. I liked Morry's after high school in the mid 1980s. She ordered a roast beef combo with no mayo at the latter restaurant. I ordered a roast beef and corned beef combo at the former. I lost. Despite the fact that the restaurants are on the same side of 55th Street and are only separated by a street, Metra tracks and an alley, Jimmy John's was a better experience. My daughter's request for no mayo was followed there. When I asked for lettuce, but no tomato at Morry's, the gentleman at the store blurted out "What do you want on your sandwich?" My memory may be failing, but I do not remember that ever happening in 1985. The chips at Morry's were smaller than at Jimmy John's. The can of soda was smaller than the fountain drink at Jimmy John's. I had to admit to my young daughter that she was right. Morry's used to be a favorite of my friends during our high school years. Like the hair I had back then, like the disclosure document of a purported commodity trading advisor now well known as a financial advisor, that Morry's cannot be found anymore. read more

Not a true deli, sandwiches are made from cold cut meat. Corn beef is from a cold cut package not a brisket.

Worst service ever. Delivery never came, call to inform them they didn't care and hung up the phone. Call again to get my money back, they hung up again and would not give me their name. Never will order anything from them again. read more

Cheap. Lots and lots of meat. Rye bread, corned beef and pastrami combination and you're good to go. I don't see many UofC students come here but they should. Great, great sandwiches. read more

When I was a child, my Pops would take the family here for an EGG McMORRY on Saturday mornings. Well, it had been a good 20 years since I had one and I decided to stop by this past Saturday and let me just say the EGG McMORRY tastes exactly the same as it did when I was a child. I could have cried but I was with a guy so I held it together. Hardly anything tastes the same as it did 20 years ago...what a wonderful memory and to know that Morry kept the integrity of this sandwich warms my heart (belly) It is worth every bit of the $4.50 PRICE HAS INCREASED TO $5.25 read more

On a short visit to Hyde Park on 10/25/2012, I walked the neighborhood and stopped in. I ordered a pastrami sandwich on onion bread with sliced onions, cheddar (resembled sun tanned Swiss cheese) and mustard. I have eaten many sandwiches in my lifetime and this is way at the bottom of the scale. The place is not very clean and the menu is confusing (extra cost for onions, peppers, etc. ~ huh?). I live in the SF Bay area with plenty of amazing sandwich joints. But this one makes me wonder why people eat sandwiches at all. The bread was dry and suspiciously stale (did anyone check the expiration date prior to making my sandwich?). The pastrami that was lukewarm to my palate tasted like day old bacon, was extremely thin and proportionally small. It was also expensive ($8.99). If University of Chicago students do not eat there very much, then our educational system is truly working because they obviously know more than the rest of us that visited there. I walked across the street to Cornell Park, took one bite and fed the reminder of my sandwich to an awful skinny squirrel with an obvious eating disorder. read more

Morrys is a very cool, historic, Chicago landmark. It definitely gives you that traditional deli type of feel like you see in movies. Your food is cooked to order and always fresh. I think they are a little overpriced for what they are but, it is good. I think their breakfast is better than their lunch/dinner, contrary to popular belief. read more

I ordered a corned beef sandwich on rye. It smelled really good but when I opened it I noticed how small it was for a $9 sandwich. The sandwich was extremely salty to the point it was inedible. read more

Good stuff. Would love some fresh bagels but this place still turns it out. Chicken noodle is essential if you have a cold

Decent, but only worth a lunch trip if you live in the neighborhood. Prices are good, and some of the combo sandwiches are good, but that's about it. It's markedly dingy inside now. Sadly, Morry's is typical of Hyde Park: greasy spoons, or horribly-overpriced haute-cusine. read more

More dependable than healthcare.gov, tastes better than ventrachicago.com. Pros: Anything with pastrami Burgers, dogs Lox sandwich Cons: Gotta pay for Mayor Daley's botched parking deal No Earl Grey My fave is the Egg McMorry but the taste consistency varies based on who's cooking. Everything else you can count on. Morry's is a great stop on your way to the Museum of Science & Industry or while you're waiting for First Aid Comics to open. Service is quick, seating is small & simple, satisfaction is high. read more

Awesome for Fatty Sandwiches that we all love to indulge in, Roast beefs, or Corned beefs on rye. (mmmmmm!) Maybe the price is a bit more, but its chicago and I'm new so I understand (a heart attack is a character builder here). It does a nice job staying open with its old school charm, I have yet to try the breakfast, but I'm sure its really unhealthy. Morry's is just super cool to go and be a bit naughty when you eat unhealthy. read more

My husband and I normally head to Z&H when we want to grab sandwiches in Hyde Park, but on New Years Eve they'd closed early so we headed over to Morry's. What good fortune for us! We might never have stopped in and what a shame that would have been. Just the best, wet, slathered, moist, drippy Reuben. Maybe that isn't the most appetizing way to describe a sandwich, but for me, it's ideal. In the future we'll be trading off, and having Morry's more often. read more

I stumbled upon this place a few weeks ago, and I am not very familiar with it, but I have known it for a long time. I just don't go here much and just decided to visit after craving some good sandwiches. The place is clean, and there are a few tables inside. They do not only offer sandwiches, but they also have other good and interesting things. The employee at the counter was nice and friendly, and she had recommendations about their wide and different selections on their amazing menu. I just ordered a sandwich, and the service was pretty fast. I must say that the sandwich is a bit pricier compared to its small portion. I thought it would be a huge portion considering its expensive price, but it was not. Even so, the sandwich was really delicious and satisfied my cravings. I like it, and I would most probably go back here again just to have their amazing sandwiches, but definitely not always. read more

This deli is a gem in Hyde Park. I almost always get the corned beef or pastrami on onion roll. The potato salad and coleslaw are pretty good too. The sandwiches definitely stack up against popular places like Manny's. read more
