    Italian Beef sandwich like the one in The Bear.
    David M.

    After watching the TV show "The Bear" I wanted to find a spot in the Boston area that made the Italian Beef sandwich featured on the show. The sandwich at Culinary Delights was fabulous! Loved it. Stop in. Worth the trip and the staff were great.

    Handmade fresh dumplings

    Yes to Culinary Delights. Delicious lunch with lots of variety, spanning European flavors and plenty of American style, too. A bonafide Chicago Hot Dog is available and recommended here. Served with all the trimmings from neon green relish to celery salt accompanying a classic Vienna Beef hot dog. The famous 'snap' comes standard, of course, though I think the dog could have been plucked from the water a couple minutes sooner. Even better than the Chicago Dog (IMO) was something called the Beantown Dog. Still the Vienna Beef, only now smothered in what else, Boston Baked Beans plus bacon! Best to share with someone to make sure everybody is all good after this culinary explosion. Also tried the handmade/homemade dumpling soup. Melt in your mouth, savory and satisfying in a comforting thick broth. Fantastic. Maybe even better than the hot dogs. Really, everything they presented here came out fresh and tasty and completely surprising given the geographical location. They also have a number of food items on their shelves which come from far away. The food was great, the staff was focused, and the cheerful owner is behind the counter and ready to answer any questions.

    Chicago dog on top, Coney on bottom

    Alex's dogs can't be beat! I am so stuck on The Chicago and the Coney that I never order anything else. They are guaranteed to get my endorphins going! The Chicago is a slightly spicy concoction with delicious green and red peppers - (not too hot )- delicious bright green relish, a perfectly sliced pickle over a very tasty hot dog. The buns that Alex uses are wonderfully tender and sprinkled with poppy seeds. The Coney uses the same delicious bun, but it is loaded with excellent chili and lots of diced onion. I like these two hot dogs so much, that I cannot order just one - i must order the complete set of two

    Bacon egg and cheese English muffin

    This may be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. They even make sure to salt and pepper the eggs. The people here are so friendly and it's such a cozy and cute environment. Absolutely perfect experience all around and I will be back for sure!

    We're loving 'Culinary Delights'. It's hard to explain - Alex tells you what he's making today and you tell him what you're in the mood for. Delicious. We loved the chicken schnitzel with rice and corn side salad. Great fries. 'Crazy Russian' sandwich was noteworthy!

    Culinary Delight Chicago hotdog enjoyment in process.
    Mark D.

    Have tried a lot of so-called Chicago hotdog places, especially since becoming part of the "diaspora" several decades ago. You can get a Chicago hotdog here, it's great, and you might think it's no big deal, but then you realize you're not even in Chicagoland, you're in Natick, MA. Love it.

The deli meat in the sand Wings is what she would expect from a New York deli. A nice thick heap on fresh bread. There is also date and a strawberry butter served. So many fresh and creative options that you can never go wrong. For drinks, there is the egg cream to the Z-mosa (mimosa plus pineapple and more? Heck yah!) Additionally, there's all kinds of fun and unique art on the walls in a very fresh style with lots of layers and imagery to look at from Mass artist Danny O. Bring your I- spy game on! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Even though there are lots of restaurants in the area, this is a place we always go. Leslie, this place has some of the nicest staff, and he will always receive a thank you of appreciation for being here. They want you to be here they want to serve you, and they love their work. Bonus challenge, find at at least two pieces of art that have Thomas the Tank Engine in them.

The place itself was clean, neat, and not very large. We ordered the regular eggs Benedict (around $21) and the chicken and waffle eggs Benedict (around $30). Between the two, I definitely preferred the chicken and waffle Benedict. It was more savory, whereas the regular eggs Benedict also savory but came with a red sauce that was surprisingly sweet when I was expecting something more traditional and savory. Overall, I would come here for a special occasion, as the price point feels a bit high for what you get. You can definitely find a similar eggs Benedict elsewhere for cheaper. That said, I do recommend trying the green hot sauce they have. I thought it paired really well and tasted better with the dish.

Server was nice but you could tell they were understaffed that night and sat too many tables at once. Once we sat done down and given water it took a while before our server appeared. The pacing was off and there were long periods between our order and apps, entree, and dessert. - bread service: kind of expensive ($13) for 5 pieces of bread and a dollop of each dipping sauce. Try just bread and butter for $6 - cornbread: delicious but small portion for $14. Also not a fan of the cutting board presentation - kids Mac and cheese: very cheesy ($12) - tiger shrimp risotto: ($34) good flavor but risotto was underdone - fried chicken: ($30) so crispy and cooked perfectly but had an odd spice in there like cinnamon? The star was the fried green tomatoes and the buttermilk ranch! Perfectly fried and crunchy while the tomatoes stayed firm and a very tasty ranch dressing! - dessert: warm cow sugar cookies were nice and warm sitting in butterscotch pudding, very cute! - the toffee in the butterscotch pudding ($11) was super crunchy, wish there were more cubes mixed in - warm chocolate brownie ($15) was missing the creme anglaise? Or the splatter of it was very small? I liked the open kitchen, high ceilings and farm2table concept but be prepared to spend $$$. Some street parking available and metered lot across the street.
