Been eating here for years. Great people and great food! Corned beef, pastrami, burgers, breakfast. All good! Always clean.

Little Dinner/Deli in Solon Ohio, waitress was awesome she had a lot of tables but was the highlight of my visit. Got Steak and Eggs with Texas Toast and scrambled eggs. Eggs weren't bad , waffle fries were good as well, steak was ordered medium it was tough, chewy, and not great at all. Diner/deli was pretty full, lots of tables and booth for a smaller place. I will ordered something different if I get a chance to return. read more

Came here again for their St. Patty's Day brunch and prices were kind of high for what they served. My BF ordered their corned beef sandwich and we were expecting a towering amount of corned beef...yet it was relatively flat. Portions were smaller that day and it was packed as usual (maybe even more so). Still, it's such a close by, no-frills local diner I want to support. My pic that I found is from 2022 but it does show the big portions back then! read more

I tried Chicago Deli yesterday for the first time and was pleasantly surprised - the hostess was super friendly upon entering and greeted us with a smile and did let us know that they didn't have any booths available so we were seated at a table - not a problem! It was very busy so I was happy we didn't have to wait to be seated. Our server was friendly and took our order promptly. The restaurant looked very clean and well organized. I got a chicken sandwich with avocado and it was really delicious! The portions are huge so you get what you pay for as it is quite pricy. Overall, I loved this little deli and will definitely be back. This is a great addition to Solon. Especially if you love Corned Beef! read more

We moved out of Solon some years ago and made a special trip out today. We were unaware this restaurant changed ownership, but should have surmised something was a miss as the resturant was empty. Unfortunatley, the experience wasn't what it used to be. Under the previous owners, the food and service were consistently excellent, which is why we made the trip. The selections have been drastically cut. The quality has noticeably declined. The food lacks the flavor and care it once had, the prices are higher and the service feels less attentive. It's disappointing to see such a great place lose what made it special. I hope the new management can make improvements, but for now, it's just not the same experience we used to enjoy. read more

Whenever I travel I like to have breakfast at old school diners and Chicago Deli is an old school diner. First impression was that the servers were super friendly which is very important because they can make or break your business. I also have a thing for chicken fried steak and Chicago Deli's is probably the best I've had. It was super moist and tender and the gravy was perfect. I will return for this dish. read more

The restaurant was very clean. I went there for lunch. I ordered the turkey club sandwich with a side of fries. They food was very tasty. If I would do anything differently, I would order a side of chips instead of fries. The service was very good . They waitress was very attentive. She kept coming back making sure everything was ok . Anytime I am in the mood for a deli style sandwich , I will consider Chicago deli read more

Chicago Deli - Turkey Club with Bacon with fries - Delis Near Me - Solon, Ohio

My best friend and I decided to come in around 12:30pm yesterday. It honestly wasn't too busy and staff was extremely friendly. We were seated right away. I decided to just build my own sandwich and got a ham sandwich with lettuce and mayo on sourdough with a side of steak fries. My friend got the Ruben with a side of steak fries. The food came out fairly quickly and it was pretty good! We had no complaints. My friend really really loved her sandwich. Mine was a bit dry as the mayo was very scarce, but overall enjoyable. I was only able to eat half the sandwich and we were in and out really quickly. We were just passing through, so we probably won't be back. But it was good! read more

Used to be so good, we drove over from the west side. Service is OK and the ambiance is standard deli. The quality and quantity of the food has gone WAY downhill while the price has gone way up. Thoroughly unsatisfying and disappointing. read more

If this place doesn't have it, you're not really hungry. They got everything. I love the sandwich platters, their apps, the soups...the servers are a gamble but never had a below average experience. I'd say the atmosphere is like a diner. Get dessert, their pie is outstanding. read more

New ownership has destroyed this once busy restaurant. Corned beef was chewy and tasteless - rye bread was stale and dry. Chucken soup was watery and tasteless. Shrimp fry was fine, but fries were just warm ( not freshly dropped) The staff was apologetic and quickly adjusted our bill and said food has changed - said CB quality is based on who cooked it. Yuck - won't b back unless for breakfast read more

Decided to give Chicago Deli another try, Menu changed again, I think 3rd time since new owners, and prices went up again. They no longer offer Home Fries, which used to be excellent, instead they give you little cubed potatoes, fair a best. Had Hot Roast Beef Sandwich, also fair at best and also charged extra for gravy on my Hot Roast beef sandwich. wife had turkey sandwich which was good. service was very good. We had 2 sandwiches, two sides, 2 ice tea. bill was $50.00 without tip. Restaurant was clean but not very busy for dinner time on a Wednesday. read more

The quality of the king corned beef left much to be desired. Granted, it's been about 2 years since I'd last ordered, the quality of meat seemed more like supermarket deli, rather than the scrumptious cut I previously enjoyed. Not only did the price increase, but the quantity was not "king" worthy at all. read more

The service was helpful, but the food was terrible. I usually go to Chicago deli and the food is delicious, but today I got 2 Reubens. The bread was hard. The meat was dry and they forgot the sauce. At $19 a sandwich we were very disappointed. read more

Food has gone downhill. Got the half-pound hot dog, and it's no longer all beef, or even good, just mushy. Chili has less flavor to it. No more veggie burgers. Matzo ball soup is still decent, though. read more

New owners. New problems. I've been coming for about 20 years, and this is not the same business anymore. The last two times I went was under new ownership, and each time, I had different problems. On the first visit, they took 45 minutes to make a hamburger. It came out burnt. I sent it back. They remade it, but I didn't get food for an hour. In some circumstances, I wouldn't have been able to wait. The second time I came back, the burger patty was no longer the same as I had expected. It had shrunk, the meat quality had dropped, and the menu had changed overall to remove items. Looks like the new owners bought the brand and are trying to shore up the profits to pay back on their investment. Too bad they are messing with what worked. Regrettably, I have made the decision not to return anytime soon. The changes made under the new ownership have significantly altered the dining experience, and I no longer feel the same level of enjoyment dining here that I once did. read more

On 8/29 went to have Dinner there and it was the worst ever. I ordered the pierogis and they were soo dry and no butter on the bottom at all. They must of been sitting there since early in the day and I cannot believe the cook let that go out like that. read more

My favorite pastrami in northeast Ohio. That's enough for me to come back. Last time o had the pastrami and corned beef sandwich and ended up getting three m Al's from that sandwich. Service was good: quick and friendly. read more

Chicago Deli - Pastrami and corned beef - Delis Near Me - Solon, Ohio

Ordered a corned beef and pastrami to go. $18 Terrible. There was more fat than meat. It was ice cold. The amount of meat was very disappointing. No return visit. read more

First time here. Seems very busy but they keep it moving. Large to go orders going out. Short wait for a table. Huge bowl of chicken noodle soup. Good but too many onions for us. Corned beef was outstanding! They say it is the best. Steak fries were good - no salt, but you can add what you want. Vegetable medley was good - just the right crisp! The California BLT was good. I skipped the ranch. Sorry ranch lovers, but if you have to add ranch I would rather skip it. Love the grilled wrap. So much bacon!!! Staff was moving quickly! Signed up for their rewards. We plan to return! Did not try them but check out the cakes if you stop by! They look great. read more

The food was awful. Had the garden skillet which smelled like fish as soon as he sat it down due to the rotten mushrooms used. There were so many mushrooms the scrambled eggs were an off putting grey color. The server never came back to check on us so I never got a chance to tell him about the rotten mushrooms, the fact that they never gave me the potatoes that were supposed to come with it or the fact that he gave me sour cream instead of cream cheese for my bagel. Not going back it's gone so downhill since the last time I was there. I can make a better breakfast at home and faster and cheaper. read more

Ordered 4 breakfast meals and they were absolutely terrible.... Clearly the food had been sitting around for hours and then they gave it to us... the food was basically inedible and we wasted $50! read more

I enjoy this restaurant, and we eat here frequently when in town. Their dessert cakes are fabulous; I don't know where they acquire their cakes and pies, but wow, get a piece to take home, and today we brought home Carrot Cake. We enjoy their soups; Matza is my favorite. I love their Chicken Shwarma Wrap, and today I ordered a traditional chicken sandwich with Swiss and bacon; it was perfect. My companion ordered the Turkey Club. The service here is excellent, and every time I have gone, management has visited my table to ensure my order meets with satisfaction. I can't say enough about this deli. I've been going here for years; it is a local treasure. Everything is delicious. read more

what a disappointment. We have been going there for at least 30 years. I had always been our go to destination for excellent chicken noodle soup. Alas no more. There may have been chicken in the soup but we couldn't find it. Noodles there were only a few, broth was at best bland. I understand that there are new owners. They should understand that we will pay for quality but not mediocre food. Won't go back. read more

Just got hoodwinked on a cobb salad order that cost me $19.81 (after the pressure tip for a walk in, to-go order). No hearty bed of lettuce, no cheese, no tomatoes, no bacon, no avocado, no onion or cucumbers. Shameful, actually -_- read more

Tried the clam chowder soup house salad today. The soup present like a stew with no clams. Not exactly sure what was served but my stomach is upset. The server was great tho. Next time, I'll breakout a can of soup at home! read more

Chicago Deli - "Scrambled eggs" on corned beef hash... onions barely cooked... - Delis Near Me - Solon, Ohio

Prices went up and the service is down. The corned beef is more often than not very dry. The portions are smaller than most other delis in the Cleveland area. The last time we ate there, our food was sitting in the kitchen for an extended period of time. A table of 6 people who ordered before us were finished eating before the 2 of us served! It used to be family owned. George, the former owner would personally greet his patrons and would make sure that the food and service were good. There are a few very good servers. However, they were often not scheduled to work when we were there. We used to eat there 2-4 times a month. Improvements need to be made before we return. read more

The food is always good any time of day. The matsa ball soup is a big favorite. The waitresses are super friendly and quick to serve us. The restaurant is always kept clean, and has a friendly atmosphere. I go there often, plus my old retired friends and I plan to meet there for breakfast at least once a month to catch up. The staff kindly puts tables and chairs together to accommodate 6 to 10 of us upon our arrival. We have been doing this for several years now. They make us feel like family. I highly recommend this restaurant. Oh, by the way, did I mention the corned beef sandwich? ---To die for!!!! read more

New ownership. While the quality of the food seems to be the same they did remove quite a few things from the previous menu and 1 of those being my favorite grilled veggie panini and the beef/chicken kabob dinners and beef kabob pita sandwich. While we still dine here the removal of those particular menu items is disappointing. In addition they now have a new rewards program when you pay via credit or debit card. That appears to be in lieu of the postcards they used to send out for a buy one get one free entree deal for birthdays. read more
