The Onion Roll has been a "deli" business for a long time in the Oak Park area so I had to try it while I was in town. I came in about 30 minutes before they closed so I had the restaurant almost to myself. I had their patty melt which is something I don't normally order. The patty melt was not overly greasy and passable. Their meat patty was surprisingly thinner than expected. Their fries were flavorless and needed seasoning or some special sauce alternative to ketchup. I thought prices were a bit on the high side for what was served. Overall, I am guessing that their breakfast and deli counter may be more popular than their lunches. My experience at Onion Roll, though, was nothing extraordinary or special but considered a local convenience. read more

Classic bagel/deli place. If a place has been open for more than half a century, you know it's got to be good. You can pretty much get any kind of sandwich you are interested in. I didn't get to try the coffee or bagels, but it all looked top notch. I liked the classic decor with counter service it tables. read more

Onion Roll - Club sandwich was perfect. Not so fond of the Cole slaw. - Delis Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Their deli team is the best. I love hearing the skillet fire up and sizzle when I get a breakfast bagel there. Always look forward to stopping in. We love you guys! read more

The food here was phenomenal! It was so good to have tasty Jewish deli style food. I got the Bacon Egg and Cheese breakfast sandwich on everything bagel. It was a little pricey but that's pretty typical of Chicago and the burbs. I wish you felt like you got a little more substantial of a sandwich though. My order was wrong when food came but it quickly was re-made. Overall, it was a nice experience and we would go back. The latkes were also really good. The inside was really pretty and we liked how it looked like a traditional deli. I also liked how you could easily order bagels and to go sandwiches on the other side of the restaurant. At the end of the meal my brother bought bagels for home - they are a thinner quality but still really fresh and good. read more

OMG! The portion and the quality is so so so good. Our server Maria gave terrific service and smiles. The ambiance is so cozy I could sip coffee and chat here for hours. Our salmon was so fresh and buttery I could not believe the quality and standard of their ingredients. Please give it a try, it pairs beautifully with their cheddar jalapeño bagel. read more

Bagels, sandwiches, soups, and so much more make the Onion Roll a splendid place to eat and catch up with friends and family. You can dine in or take something to go. Plenty of bagel options, from flavors to preparation (on their own, as a sandwich, as a side). Hearty portions. Coffee is fresh and tastes best in a mug while dining at a table. Service at the counter or at the table is consistently friendly and fast. A cool diner environment with fresh delicious food. read more

Tried this place for thr first time after looking for a good bagel. This place has 2 separate areas. One is a lively dining area and the other i a takeout deli. The service is very fast and attentive. At the register they have their list of available fresh bagels. I tried the jalapeno and cheddar with chive cream cheese. The bagel was good but didn't have much kick or cheddar flavor. The cream cheese really stood out though. It had a sweet flavor like I never tasted before. It was definitely fresh and home made too. A single bagel at the time of writing this was $2.50 and with cream cheese came to $5.5 with tax. I will come back again to try another bagel and their deli sandwiches. read more

Food was ok. But the service was rather poor. It took a while for anyone to bring us water and when they did they had such a rude attitude. The wait staff didn't even notice there was only 1 setting for a table of 4 - because they were busy socializing with each other or on their phones. We were charged for a potato salad we ordered that never arrived and again such an attitude when we asked for the charge to be removed. read more

A true neighborhood gem! Great food, especially the lox and latkes, and friendly service! And the homemade bagels, especially the rosemary and pink salt, are the best in the area. OK. read more

The Onion Roll is like a bodega where you can buy fresh bagels, sandwiches and a variety of other food items. It is also a quaint sit down restaurants where bagel sandwiches and other breakfast items can be ordered and enjoyed. I opted to grab a couple of bagels togo and one of the employees at the cash register suggested the jalapeno cheddar and the rosemary and Peruvian pink salt. The bagels were soft and toasted nicely. I also ordered a chocolate egg cream drink which tasted like a carbonated chocolate milk. read more

Cute little Jewish deli, situated on a quaint street in OP, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the establishment super clean. All of your favorite deli classics. Had the New York breakfast Sandi on a plain bagel, the sausage was extremely flavorful, also ordered the turkey and avocado which was very good. My only beef is that for the amount of food the prices are pretty steep. Spent $30 on two bagel sandwiches. read more

The best bagel in town. Hands down. Friendly staff. A gem! Open for 75 years. A legend In Oak Park

This place is a shell of what it was 10 years ago. I do not think that the corned beef nor the pastrami are made in house like they used to be. All the "deli" items are in small pre-packaged non see thru containers. NEVER saw a "deli" case that was so sparce and loaded with Cryovac'd corned beefs and "fresh lox"!! Staff seems to just be doing the minimum to get by. Had to wave our waiter over to get the table clean off and later again to get our check. He was standing behind the counter on his cell phone!!! Terrible, terrible staff including the front "deli" staff. Took5 minutes to figure out our bill and ring it up correctly. Really don't know why people still think this place is so great. Portions are tiny as far as the slaw and pot salad. Can't be more the 2 tablespoons at best. Will never return to this shell of a "Jewish Deli" read more

Their bagels are made in-house and there is a large variety of flavors. They have a to-go counter and also a sit-down area. The breakfast sandwich would have been better if there were veggies included. Also wish they had more specialty coffee options. Service was good and the workers were very kind. Would go again to try more bagel options. read more

Classic diner food and Jewish fare, standing the test of time since 1954! The interior is bright and sitting at the bar is cozy.

Terrific food, service, and shop. I got corned beef and chicken liver and my wife got a lox bagel sandwich. We will come back very soon.

Delicious corned beef and pastrami! My mom was craving corned beef for lunch, so we decided to try this classic deli for the first time, even though it's been around for decades. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and we loved that you can also purchase their deli items on your way in and out. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They've got two new regulars in the making--we'll definitely be back! read more
