I was really looking forward to a good corned beef sandwich. So disappointed to find it was processed meat, not the sliced brisket I was anticipating. read more

My daughter's turkey sandwich was enormous, and it was fantastic. The Italian Beef that I had was delicious, and the sides were great too. It's an unassuming little place, but it did not disappoint at all! Can't wait to go back! read more

The sandwiches are pretty good, nothing exotic, plain old sandwiches with good quality mets. The shop indeed looks like the grocery shop of a gas station. The staff is definitely not friendly. For the price they charge, I got what I expected. read more

Morry's is just great. I can recommend the Egg McMorry, chili dog, shoestring fries, grilled cheese, breakfast pancake platter, and coffee. There's a pretty good selection of novelty ice cream. And I've always had friendly service. I can't really recommend the tuna salad. Stick to hot food and all is well. read more

Morry's should change its name to Less-ys. I used to come here fairly regularly, years ago. But I have fewer occasions to visit Hyde Park, so I kind of forgot about Morry's. The Morry's of my fond memories is a corner Jewish deli that builds delicious sandwiches with piles of meat and includes a pickle. Mmm, my mouth waters just thinking of it! Plus, it's in the middle of the U of C area, so their menu keeps prices within a student's budget. I recently stopped here for a bite to eat, and I thought I'd introduce my niece and son--both college kids--to Morry's. NOT what I remembered, although they thought it was "pretty good." I ordered my usual--roast beef on a kaiser--and there was barely any meat on the roll. And it was kind of dry. Also, Morry's used to be a no-frills, quick in-and-out place. In its present incarnation, it resembles a failing convenience store in an economically stagnant neighborhood. I mean, I'm glad they don't do the whole snobby "This is the U of C area so we have pictures of Kierkegaard on the wall", but this is way at the other end of the spectrum. The prices are still reasonable, though. read more

Awesome customer service. The sandwiches are no fuss no nonsense just good food. The cheesecake is delicious as well. Definitely a perfect place to grab lunch. read more

I have been coming here for the past 2 years. My personal favorites are the Rueben and the Chicken Breast sandwich. Of course, I have never had a problem with anything. The staff is friendly and I am sure, if I ever had an issue with anything they would take care of it without hesitation. The food is great, the atmosphere is great and the staff is awesome! I highly recommend making a visit at this establishment, which has been around more than 25 years. read more

There must have been some recent changes in management because I used to always have a great experience when ordering delivery from Morry's but the last time was absolutely terrible. I ordered online as usual and after waiting for an hour, called to see what was taking so long. Over the next 30 mins the guy told me twice that the driver was on the way with my food. After an hour and a half of waiting they finally told me that they never actually got my order and did everything they could to not take accountability for an issue with their site and an employee not giving me accurate information. Terrible attitudes from the staff and no effort to rectify their mistake. read more

The smallest corned beef I've ever had. I'm never ever going back. The meat was almost boiled in texture. The absolute worst.

Decent food for being a Hyde Park establishment, but beyond that, nothing impresses me about this place. I ordered the pastrami sandwich on rye with thousand island dressing - a pretty small sandwich that will cost you $6 + tax and probably leave you wanting more. I thought the pastrami was a bit on the salty side. It is thinly sliced meat and warmed up, and the sandwich does not come with too much meat, but probably enough given the small size of the bread. I like how it is open a bit later than most places in the area, but for the price and taste, I might just opt for Potbelly, which is a block away. Service is quick and friendly though, which is nice. read more

Horrible horrible horrible. Waste of time. Nothing was done right. Wouldn't feed this food to a dog.

Corn beef was terrible!!! Was so looking forward to it. Extremely disappointed! Thinly sliced, greasy garbage! App won't let me post "0" stars! read more

a good place to grab a quick meal at a decent price. I had a Morry's Ultimate Reuben Sandwich and it was good. A lot of meat with egg salad inside. read more

Morry's Deli - Morry's Ultimate Reuben Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love the sandwiches! My favourite? The turkey reuben!! Naturally. My mommy is in town and I just took her there to grab lunch after her salon visit. I'll have her verdict later this evening. I will definitely be going back. read more

I'm not a corn beef or pastrami aficionado, so I cannot speak to those sandwiches for which the deli seems to be celebrated, but I love roast beef and wanted to try Morry's, especially because I've never eaten there despite having lived in the neighborhood for the last ten years. Service was prompt and friendly, and the space seemed more functional than the exterior beautification might initially suggest (e.g., unlabeled muffins and desserts randomly placed in different textured baskets, etc.). I received my order in about five minutes; payment was fast and accurate. The food---roast beef on multi-grain bread, light mayo, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and a little swiss cheese---was passable. Good-but-not-great flavor circumscribed a moderately-sized and somewhat soggy mess, likely a feature of the cheese, mayo, and onions combined with the warmth of the meat. (No one asked me if I wanted it heated.) Considering the size and quality of the final product, the price was quite high (i.e., a little more than $7.00), and I'm not sure where Morry's justifies the value for such a mark-up. Final analysis: Morry's is a good choice if you live in the neighborhood and you're really craving a deli sandwich, but there are tastier (and cheaper) food options in Hyde Park. read more

We live in the other lakefront bookend, Rogers Park, but get down to Hyde Park a few times a year. Last autumn we had stopped in her spontaneously and were impressed by the hot pastrami. Not remembering where we had been we searched yelp and hoped this was right. It was! After a day of museums and a carillon concert we passed up all the food trucks and found Morrys. Perfect way to wind up an afternoon. The place has zero atmosphere, that's ok, it's a deli. The sandwiches are not huge (like Katz's in NYC where you can feed an army on one $20 sandwich) but they are quite filling for the price ($8). We both had it so I can address other meats except that they looked real good. If I lived down here I'd try them all for sure. The macaroni salad is excellent, the coleslaw is good. The hot pastrami is SHAVED then heated on the grill. Nice and dark and hot and tasty! I love it that way. The rye bread is a bit weak for the size of the sandwich, they should change bakeries. I see a lot of complaints about service, both times we've gone in late afternoon, about 3pm. Not busy, not empty. Yes, we had to wait for the young man to finish the order he was making before he took our order. That didn't bother me, it happens at a few north suburban fast food joints and with the kind of sandwiches served one guy really can only make one order at a time, so if it's busy just chill. The people are nice, polite, and service is normal. read more

Finally made it to Morry's, which is literally a block from our apartment. I was expecting pretty mediocre food but was pleasantly surprised. My Chicago-style hot dog was delicious, and Nick seemed to enjoy his hot pastrami sandwich. We also got a tasty macaroni salad. This is definitely a go-to deli/grill. I only wish they had some more fried options, i.e. mozzarella sticks. Mostly I just always want fried cheese. read more

Horrible food.. ordered 2 breakfast specials through doordash and was missing our hashbrowns and toast, had large egg shells cooked in with the egg, bacon had pieces of Styrofoam melted on it, and balls of dry pancake batter in the pancakes.. my fiance and i both agreed we will never order from here again... yes its cheap but i guess thats wat we get for ordering cheap food.. read more

call in /pickup order norma 9/28/2020 three worker waited 5 minutes before greeted only customer in store cornbeef was not tender , rye bread was burnt, but wet, crackers stale, a great disappointment and waste of money this was in chicago hyde park location read more

Ok, fellow Yelper and Hyde Park neighbor Alana T. convinced me to give Morry's another shot and here is the verdict. Went there yesterday evening and got the Pastrami & Corned Beef on Rye. This sandwich was as close to perfection as you can get. Rye bread moistened with dijon mustard, swiss cheese and onions married with a pile of warm pastrami and corned beef. The meat was heaven, cooked EXACTLY the way it should be. You know when you are eating something so good and you take bite after bite with plans on throwing the last piece away so as not to feel so guilty? Well, the latter didn't happen with this sandwich. Morry's doesn't get style points for their interior decor, the place does need remodeleding, but the sandwiches make all cosmetic sins forgivable. read more

I went to Morry's Deli today and I ordered my regular, hot corn beef sandwich with a small fry. The cook asked if I wanted cheese and I said no. Just plain. I came home and discovered that there was mustard on my sandwich. I then called the deli and explained that I did not want any mustard, however, it could be my fault because I said plain (no cheese) but forgot that mustard was the other topping. The man on the phone said I can come back and they will redo my sandwich. I went back a few minutes later, got home, and my sandwich had cheese on it. I called the deli back and I stated that I asked for plain and the man on the phone responded by saying that I did say that I wanted cheese on my sandwich. He said that when he confirmed the order back to me over the phone, he asked if I wanted cheese, and I said yes. I never said "yes," to anything. He never even confirmed the order to me. I do not appreciate being treated as if I was a liar! He went on saying that I called in the order as a carry out. I told him no and that I never called in the order as a carryout. I then reminded him who I was by telling him the color of the shirt I had on. He said that he remembered me because he knows that I come in often. I am a regular at this deli. I live down the street, and I do come in there a few times a month and I order the same thing. He then stated that they don't make mistakes twice and that there was just a misunderstanding. However, he did make a mistake because he thought I was someone else. He never took responsibility for his actions. He claimed that I said yes to the cheese and that I ordered carry out. Lastly, he asked if I can come back and he can either give me a new sandwich or my money back. I stated that I wanted my money back and that I will not come back for the third time in a row. I asked if he could write my name on a ticket and then I will be back tomorrow to get my money. He said ok, but bring back the sandwiches. I questioned him about me having to bring back the sandwiches tomorrow to get my money back. He repeated that I have to bring back the sandwiches to get my money back and then added by saying that he will throw away the sandwiches anyway. I am insulted that I would be asked to walk down the street with a bag of old sandwiches in order to get my money back after they messed up my order! Especially after he acknowledged that he knew me. He recognized that I am a regular. Why would I have to bring back sandwiches to prove that I did not eat them or to prove that I am not trying to run a scam after I've been there 20 times before!! I am highly offended by how I was treated. This deli is infused with poor customer service and is ran by people who do not put costumers first. I did not appreciate having to deal with bad customer service from a person who did not want to take responsibility for anything, and ultimately insulting me by holding my refund hostage until I return two sandwiches (even on the next day). I am appalled that I would be treated like some scam artist off the streets, when I have clearly been there many times before and I have never had a problem. To make matters worst, I even called back just to ask for the cashiers name and they didn't even answer the phone. Poor service. read more

Morry's reminds me of Lenny Kratiz in that it's been making hits more than 20 years and has just the right amount of Jewish television producer and African American actress - hold the Mr. Bentley... Archie Bunker and Mr. Jefferson be dammed - a sandwich spot without both stripes would be like a monochrome Rorschach test or set of piano keys. read more

The food is okay, so I guess a single star is fine-- if this were for service alone, I'd really want to give this place (or, more to the point, the owner's son or whoever this dick is) negative 5 stars. Rude, racist, argumentative... I could go on and on describing this complete moron. I've been to this place 5 or 6 times, and if this guy isn't there then it's a decent enough place for a quick bite if I'm desperate and only have a few bucks on me. But if he is there, I'd rather give $5 away and eat dirt. I ordered 2 grilled cheese sandwiches the other day. But Jay, how could anyone mess up grilled cheese? Surely you are not about to tell us there was a problem with GRILLED CHEESE? Yes, my fellow yelpers, I'm afraid I am. It turns out you CAN mess up grilled cheese. Here's how: Take a slice of american cheese, and place it between 2 slices of white bread. Then put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. That's right. The microwave. Then run it through a toaster so that it is burnt black on one side, and completely untouched on the other side. Throw on a pickle (for an extra 50 cents or so, depending on the day) and there you have it: the most disgusting grilled-- I'm sorry, not grilled-- microwaved and 1/2 toasted cheese sandwich ever. This alone would not cause me to jump on Yelp. I've had worse. But when I went in tonight and asked the guy cooking if he was going to grill my grilled cheese, suddenly this other idiot (who I'm told is the owner's son) runs over and says, "He toasted it last time, that's good enough". I politely told him no, it's not. When you order GRILLED cheese, what you secretly want is GRILLED cheese. He kept yelling about how pickles cost extra, they are only free with sandwiches. So, first of all, what does that have to do with anything? I don't know. And secondly, so is the grilled cheese sandwich NOT A SANDWICH? Pickles only come free with sandwiches, not with GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES. Maybe that's because they weren't f***ing grilled, and therefore aren't considered sandwiches. Ah, that explains it. read more

Threw up within minutes of eating sandwich, from poisoning. Spend your time and money elsewhere.

If you are in the area, this little hole in the wall deli spot is a quick spot to grab a pretty decent sandwich. It doesn't look like the nicest place from the outside or inside decor wise--definitely a spot you want to pick up food to go from--BUT the sandwiches are cheap and pretty filling! Matt J. and I got their ultimate reuben, which sort of sounds like some awesome super hero of a sandwich, and it basically was. Never have I had egg salad with my reuben sandwich before, but now we have, and we like it. Good dressing on here, toasted bread. Pretty much as ultimate as a little tiny deli spot can get I think. We also got a BLT and that BLT was packed with crunchy tasty bacon--just the way it should be. Both sandwiches came with a giant pickle on the side, and getting two diet cokes with it, the total was only $17 for two people for lunch. Pretty wallet friendly if you aren't looking for anything fancy. And a bonus--the people who work here are pretty friendly too! I just wish the ambiance had a little more going on. There is more focus on the lotto tickets there in the decor and such than about the food I felt, and you definitely have a higher chance of winning with an ultimate reuben there I bet! read more

Went in for a sandwich and I asked the guy taking orders what to get and he proceeded to get me an awesome corned beef and pastrami on rye that was not that expensive but I would have paid twice as much for anywhere else. read more

Solid food, solid service, prices maybe a little bit high for what it is but otherwise great

My husband and I ordered online for pick-up. What a waste of money. My husband ordered a triple decker club that contains pastrami and corned beef. It is also supposed to have onions and coleslaw. It had neither onions nor the coleslaw. I ordered the triple Decker club that was supposed to have pastrami, turkey and coleslaw. I asked for them to hold the tomatoes. I am sure you know what happened next. No coleslaw but loaded down with tomatoes. And the side of potato salad that comes with the sandwiches is laughably small. It comes in one of those small plastic containers that I used to make jello shots in. Whatever Morry's...not going to go back there. read more

Another great little spot in Hyder !!! If you are in the mood for a home-aid basic sandwich, look no further! I love the Reuben...but you can try any sandwich and like it. They carry Snapple and tons of caned pop as well as have an ATM! Score! Great hangout for old Hyde Park men which is also fun to watch! read more

So, this place was remodeled....wait, it was closed for a couple of weeks then opened back up, but I don't know if it was REALLY remodeled. It looks the same to me. I don't know. But, one think I do know is that rueben is still the best I've ever had. And another thing, THEY GIVE FREE POPS WITH SANDWICHES NOW!!!!! OMG, that's so friggin awesome!!!!! read more

I had the #1 corned beef on rye with mustard. It was ok. Not all that. It's more of a get your order and go.

This place has great pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. I usually get both on rye with only mustard. While I haven't tried anything else so far, these sandwiches are good enough to warrant a solid four star review. I hope to next try some of their breakfast items. Also noteworthy is they now accept credit cards. read more

I go to Morry's because it's great to sit down and have coffee here. The staff is very nice, accomodating and friendly. I've had the corned beef , the bacon breakfast sandwich and also the chicken breast sandwich. It's pretty solid fare. They also have pies, muffins, cookies and cakes. I don't know where they come from. I asked but the gentleman said he didn't know. I can tell you that the blueberry muffins are good. The service keeps me returning. read more

I would go here every day if I could. The breakfast sandwiches rank toward the top of the list. However, the Italian beef is possibly the most flavorful Italian beef ever! The only reason this place doesn't get five stars is because it could really use a makeover. read more

Awesome sandwiches! I ordered the triple decker which is piled high with corn beef, dressed in thousand island sauce on rye bread. I'm not a fan of rye bread but the combo of corn beef with all the fixings made it taste so good that I forgot I hated rye bread! don't judge a book by its cover, just because the interior doesn't seem appealing...the food is sure tasty! I will be back! read more

I must admit, this is the best turkey pastrami sandwich I have had. Very fresh, large and enough to fill me up for the rest of the afternoon. Yum, yum, yummy! I am getting hungry just thinking about it. read more

Pretty solid food. We ordered a burger and a pastrami sandwich and both were good. The price point is decent, maybe just slightly expensive for a deli style restaurant. I'll definitely come back. read more

A great place for a quick bite! Heading to the Museum of Science and Industry, this little deli was a few blocks away and provided a fast and hot lunch. Order was ready in a few minutes, food was simple but fine. Sandwiches are a decent size, shop is small but clean. read more

Good ingredients and thick filling sandwiches. The Ultimate Reuben sandwich on rye is my favorite. I ordered online and picked it up at the store. The sandwich was wrapped up and ready to go. You get 10% off your first online order :) read more

Gotta admit, until only a few months ago I'd thought of this place as just a lottery shop. In my two years in this city, I'd always pass by and see people crowding the lotto counter. But I'm so glad I decided one day to try the sandwiches, because they're really great. Really standard reuben and an awesome pastrami and bologna sub. The potato salad's OK (I prefer German style and never really liked the cold stuff) with any one of them. I still need to try more, but I have to say that it's worth a visit. read more
