The menu is relatively simple but still provides a good variety of options. I ordered the Scorsese, which came with mortadella, burrata, pistachios, pistachio cream, arugula, and hot honey; in the Regular size. The total cost came out to roughly $11, which I felt was very reasonable given the size of the sandwich. The Regular, being the smaller size option, is at least as substantial as what you'd get from Subway, for example. But the quality is miles above. They have a slicer to cut all the cold cuts in-house. All of the ingredients in my sandwich were fresh and delicious, and I loved the way the flavors complimented each other. I would definitely visit again if I find myself in the area!

Every bite had meat. Every sip had the good flavor of meat. You can have meat before you touch the noodles. Did I mention that they actually put more than five pieces of meat in the bowl? For the price, the portion size, the flavor, and simply how much meat they pack in the bowl Lotus Banh Mi knocked it out of the park! Worth stopping by, worth coming back, and definitely a good first date spot if you want to leave a good impression.

When I questioned the young man behind the register he stated Zeppe's is a small family business and does not own its website. they do not have ability to amend the website and the prices are what is shown in store.

Yes, they also do soup if that's your jam. Being able to get a Cinnabon at the same time was lovely, though we found it a little underdone. We got two of the vegetarian sandwiches (I recommend asking them to go light on the ranch dressing). I find a small sandwich is enough for me; it's packed with filling.

I ordered the Cavatelli Ala Vodka, added italian sausage, and kept my bread plain. The food was made pretty fast but I really enjoyed the taste of everything.

In light of Rosh Hashanah, we were looking for Jewish places to eat and came across Schmaltz Deli…read more We never knew there was a Jewish deli in the area and boy were we missing out. As soon as we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great experience. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables available as well as a traditional deli counter. They also have a drive thru! You can choose to order at the counter or be seated with a more traditional restaurant-like service. Our waiter was young but very professional and provided great recommendations. To start, they bring a complimentary bowl of bagel chips (a unique twist and a great way to repurpose old bagels). For my meal, I had a half American sandwich with a bowl of matzo ball soup. It was simple but delicious. On our way out, we stopped at the deli and ordered a few rugelach. They tasted so fresh! My favorite was the apricot flavor. Definitely hope to be back real soon to support such a great spot! Shana Tova!

It was a solid 7, which is why I place it at 3.5 stars. I may be being picky here but it just wasn't to the level of "melt-in-your-mouth" pastrami standards for me. Not to say it wasn't good, because it was perfectly fine. In fact, it's better than most of the pastrami sandwiches I tried in Chicagoland. Maybe it's the fact that I had to bring it back to the office to eat it, and half hour had gone by and pastrami weren't as warm and the Jewish rye had become soggy by the time I took the first bite. I mean, it goes without saying that the sandwich would have been 3 times better had I sat down immediately and had it. Again, all things considered, it was a perfectly good sandwich. One interesting thing was that I had never been to an establishment that included a half sour pickle instead of a normal one and gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. Pickles can be a hit or a miss for me. I like my pickles to be crunch, but some places offer overripened ones that become borderline mushy. Schmaltz's half sour pickle was not overly salty or sour, making it very attractive for me. The more I'm thinking about it, I'm convinced that I'll have to go back and try their #14 Sloppy Paul, which is the corned beef with sauerkraut, which is another favorite of mine. And this time, I'll be sure to dine in and give another review of it to see how much I like them better.

Set well back in the shopping center, under the lurking hulk of the Jewell, they'd be easy to miss. Don't miss them. Their bagels are excellent, their home-made cream cheese is excellent, and the ladies are always cheerful . I've been here dozens of times since I "discovered" them in April - they're now a regular stop enroute to the dialysis clinic, so 2 - 3 times a week to enjoy "YUM"!! Their Lox Sandwich is perhaps a bit pricier than I'd expect... but the Lox they source is way better than the stuff I get from Costco . I save that for "special days". The shop is ALWAYS lickety-split CLEAN. Even on nasty, unpleasant days - and the smiling ladies make the morning brighter, too. If ever a small business deserved to prosper and thrive, this is a fine example. And although previously discovered by I, there is yet another treat in store for me: walking in there on freezing November morning. I expect the smells to be AMAZING. Cheers!

North Naperville finally has a bagel spot AND it's a GAB?! Mind blown!!…read more This location recently opened, 3 days has been opened, brand new. I think with some time and tweaks I can easily update this to 5 stars. It is designed similar to other GABs and is kept clean. Staff members were friendly and the owner was there when my husband and I came in. Everyone is still learning but in my opinion they all seemed like pros. I'm comparing this location to the Elk Grove village location. TBH the EG location is the best out of all the franchises. How can Naperville be comparable to EG? My tips - the bagels are missing something, the texture isn't as fluffy and thick. The cream cheese isn't as flavorful and they are pretty stingy when it comes to how much cream cheese is on the bagel. For a $5+ bagel with cream cheese I expect more. Overall this is an OK bagel place. I do believe it can be better and I am hopeful when I come back things will only continue to progress on being 5 stars.

I added cheddar cheese and veggie cream cheese. The portion is generous and priced well. They are not stingy when it comes to giving ingredients. My only 'con' is I thought the bagel was kind of plain. I asked for sourdough and may have gotten a plain bagel by mistake, no worries though. Everything else made up for it.
