I tried an onion, everything, and jalapeño cheddar and I loved all three. I highly recommend any of the breakfast bagel sandwiches. My boyfriend got the Avocado Turkey breakfast sandwich (not shown) and I got the Lox breakfast sandwich. The sandwiches are actually filled with food rather than just a few thin slices. My boyfriend and I split the liver plate and it was amazing. I find it hard to find great liver and this place has some! If you like liverwurst you will like this plate. We got it with an onion bagel. We got bagel chips while we waited and sipped on coffee and looking back I wish I grabbed a few extra bagels to go to try more of the variety they had since the assorted chips were so good. The staff was amazing; being warm and welcoming like we had been going there for years. The interior was beautiful and made you feel at home. This is one of those hidden gems anyone around the Chicago area should try, whether you live here or you're just stopping by.

Would rather support a local business, but not with these prices. The search continues.

They had the jars of marinate mushrooms, lots of pickles and best of all, their bakery and deli selection. Everything looked well stocked, clean and organized. The cookies and cake/breads looked fantastic. I asked for a recommendation and the young lady behind the counter said the apple cake was her favorite. Ok, I'm game. It was tasty! Not overly sweet and not too soggy with a crumbly topping. I headed to the sausage case because that's what I was really there for. An older nice lady helped me and when she didn't understand or wanted to ask me something, she called the young bakery girl again. Not a problem! I got my sausage shrink wrapped/sealed for an extra 80 cents. I was happy! The check out young guy was nice and overall, I only had really great service. I've been to a few Polish stores and it's not that they're rude, they are not always equipped to translate. Don't get intimidated, point and try? And go back for more! You can't lose and the prices are really reasonable.

I tried a cherry turnover, cheese danish turnover, and raspberry danish. The cherry turnover was huge and so flaky. The bread was soft and covered in sugar while the cherry inside was very fresh and sour. One of those could be shared among a few people. The raspberry danish was also very well made as the bread was incredibly soft and dense. The raspberry was again fresh and the whole thing was quite large. The cheese danish turnover wasn't so great. It was quite bland and didn't really taste like anything. Overall, the fruit pastries were the best and huge items for very cheap. I'll have to come back and try some of their savory food items!

I can care less whether or not English is the primary language used or spoken in any place. Herman Deli has a very extensive selection on soups, stews, entrees, side dishes, sausages, and other meat products. They also carry some light grocery items just in case you need to restock them. I don't speak Polish at all, but I felt just fine. My Asian look and stature stood out in the crowd, yet who cares? I could only understand "flaczki," meaning "tripe" from the soup section in the refrigerator. While I was browsing through their deli counter, I lost my queue in the "imaginary" line leading to the register. Once again, it was what it was. I pointed to what I wanted, and might not have any clue with the contents. I would try everything and eventually figure out what they are and remember their names in Polish.
