I had to come by and give them a big 5 star review because my guests could not stop raving about the food. Frank also made ordering and pick up super easy.

Highly recommend! Must try: matzah ball soup, potato salad, and beef brisket!

Besides the owners being fabulous people, the sandwiches here are PHENOMENAL! My wife and I have made a game out of ordering from the menu there to see if we can find a bad sandwich no matter what the ingredients. We have yet to find a single thing that isn't good here, even the vegetarian stuff (we are NOT vegetarians!). Their pricing is very reasonable and the sandwiches are nice and filling. I can't say enough good things about this place! You owe it to yourself to try it. Easily the best deli in Lake Forest - possibly the county! read more

I was so excited to try this place due to the yelp reviews-- however I was incredibly disappointed. I got the turkey wrap, salad, and a small potato salad. The potato salad tasted like it had gone bad a few days ago, and there seemed to be sand or something in it? It was like small, crunchy, granules in my first (and only) bite of it. The turkey in the wrap wasn't chilled and didn't taste fresh. Overall, I'm not going to be eating here again. $10 not well spent. read more
