The patio is incredible. Last night we lost (after winning the previous time, but it's good to be humbled on occasion lol). But, I thoroughly enjoyed my free grilled cheese sandwich that I won as our previous trivia night prize. Sandwiches really are their specialty. Perfectly greasy, and the caramlized onions and spinach really elevated it. Another person in our group had the turkey on a pretzel bun and said it was amazing. Also, a great range of drink options. Always a good time, and I'm excited to come to one of their mahjong gatherings, since I recently learned how to play.

There were also burgers I didn't have one but everyone that had a burger or chicken sandwich said they were good and tasty. The open bar was nice the Tito's was smooth and I had a good time. There was a DJ and enough room on the bar floor for dancing and there was a television with sports on for the sports watchers. I also saw patio outdoors seating out back. They had two restrooms and they appeared clean for patrons. The waitstaff and bartender were all friendly and just very nice.

European deli sandwiches with quality ingredients and generous portions on fresh baked bread…read more It's so obvious, DeLishka is delicious! Though a bit obscure and hard to find, those who want a good sandwich know where to go. There is a curated selection of Italian, French and German sandwiches. This was my first visit so ordered a Cipriani with Italian mortadella, marscapone(!), arugula, pistachios and balsamic. It was the marscapone that sold me, but this was generously portioned and (let's be honest) messy for me to eat because the sandwich was piled high. I had to take half to go. I heard a few orders for the Gusti dal Nord (prosciutto, Gorgonzola, arugula and pear), and that sounds enticing as well. The bread is fresh and crusty. They had a tomato soup the day I was there, and I read on the website that they have pierogato -- Eastern European dumplings.

Thought it was just okay…read more Doesn't taste like the bread is freshly made there. Decent service. Simple ambiance.

If you don't get a chance to visit The Fat Shallot at Gillson Beach this summer you're missing out!…read more I don't even know where to start with how amazing it is. The service? Incredible. The owners are incredibly kind and attentive, and they have a wonderful staff. The food? As my Dad put it, "I literally can't think of something that would make this sandwich better." The location? It's just outside of Gillson Beach so you truly feel like you're on vacation. Do yourself a favor and visit as soon as possible!

Good deli. Sandwiches are seriously huge and stuffed with meat…read more I got the lox bagel sandwich. I wish the tomato and cucumber were sliced thinner for an easier bite. Because they're kind of thick, it makes for a sandwich where all the filling slides right out. I guess I wish the bagel had a little more give to it as well instead of being on the stiffer side. But obviously it's still very tasty. The potato pancakes are not quite the style I like. These are thick and dense--like the size of a burger. I think I prefer when they're thinner and soft on the inside but crispy outside.

I'm I accidentally got the soft salami instead of the hard salami. It was more like bologna. The rainbow star cookies were amazing. Not too sweet and just like the ones I remember getting as a kid in New York. They also have discounted bagels at the end of the weekend. I recommend grabbing a bag to take home and the slicing them and putting them in the freezer. There is plenty of free parking and they do have a few tables in the front if you want to dine there.

My partner had the chicken and waffles and she loved them. I ended up with a delicious, protein-rich egg dish, with delicious guac, where I could just pick at the potatoes on the side to avoid being too carbed out. It was perfect for me. I liked the informal ambiance and there were cute families with kids. Parking in this part of downtown Evanston is relatively easy. I love the fact that they're offering gluten free options, and someone in my party had severe celiac and were able to enjoy a great meal and not get sick. Huge plus. My only one teensy little thing is -- although they have a separate fryer (which is great) -- the gluten free options felt a little limited. I wish that the bacon was not prepared in a way where they were exposed to gluten prior to being fried.

We definitely ordered more than our family could eat from our first Cultura Subs visit, but it was…read moresuch a welcome treat. Some standouts for me were the steak jibarito, the Philly cheesesteak, and the shawarma bowl. The staff also gave us a freebie which was so thoughtful of them! I think it was an app, but I honestly didn't get to try it since my partner devoured it before I got a chance. No matter, we were stuffed regardless! We ordered takeout, and the food was still hot when we tucked in. I can only imagine the menu is even better in person. If you're in the mood for some cultural crossover cuisine, I highly recommend Cultura Subs if you're in the area!
