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.

Mine was absolutely delicious. Tons of beef, melty swiss, and grilled onion. Served nice and hot with a tasty au jus. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his as well. Great Jewish deli. Highly recommend whether you're Jewish or not! ;)

Fair amount of seating and a cute outdoor patio out back. This is the place that has ruined me from going to other Delis. Nobody stacks up to this place when it comes to food quality and portions. Even fancy places that charge twice as much don't hold a candle. Quality non fatty meats, Homemade soups, homemade Italian dressing. delicious soft fresh breads, always super fresh veggie toppings and salads, Huge portions, and extremely fair price. The homemade desserts are to die for and often sell out early because they are just that good. The owner herself is always there making the sandwiches personally so you know they get made with care every time. Honestly this Deli blows every other deli out the water hands down. The only drawback is very limited days and hours open. You kinda gotta plan your visit with timed intent, but catching them open makes the visit feel special because it's SOOOO Good & you're guaranteed to leave feeling like you got more than your moneys worth and making notes on when they are open next again because you'll want to bring a friend to impress. I've never craved Deli before like I do this place and you'll know why once you try it!

Maybe it was just a bad day for them today, but it was less than expected. Went with my wife and son for lunch. The young lady at the counter seemed to be having a bad day, at least I hope she was, because if she's like that every day, she shouldn't be working there. She had attitude and was short with us. It wasn't anything she said, but rather, the abruptness with her questions and overall demeanor. If we ordered anything on the side, or asked for something different than what usually comes on a sandwich, she huffed and eye rolled us. It didn't make us feel very welcome. We got a number and sat down and waited. When our food arrived, we were short one soda and a side of vinegar and oil. No worries there. I was taken back a little that we were charged 50 cents for water, $2.50 for one slice of Gouda cheese, and 50 cents for an oil and vinegar cup. There is also a 3% charge for using a credit card. The actual food was better before. My combo sandwich was somewhat bland. I remember the hot dog being bigger before. It went from a deli hot dog to a regular sized one. My wife thought the turkey burger was bigger before as well. Overall, I remember it being more flavorful in the past. My potato salad was still very good. The cannoli pieces were outstanding. The place was fairly crowded being Mother's Day, and the service was pretty quick. Turkey burgers take a while to cook. It's always lively but quiet in the restaurant which I like. I hope this was a one time dud experience, and I will be back, unless the cashier has another bad day, and the food is lacking taste.

Vegans, vegetarian, and gluten-free diners will have no problem finding plenty of delicious choices here. Since the kitchen was packed, our food took about 40 minutes to come out, but everything tasted fresh. 5/5 stars: Huevos Locos- the flavors are bold, rich, and perfectly balanced with every bite somehow better than the last. 5/5 stars:the Figgy Salad- my friend ordered their famous figgy salad, which was gorgeous and delicious. It had the perfect crunch, fresh ingredients, and a great mix of Sweet n Savory flavors that made it really stand out. 5/5 stars: Apple Ricotta Almond Cake- it was soft moist and practically melted in your mouth. Honestly, I tasted far too indulgent to be gluten-free and the best way possible. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely come back. There are still so many things on the menu I want to try next time.

The drinks absolutely held their own too. The Summer Spritz was crisp and refreshing, while the sangria came in with a polite smile and then quietly reminded me to respect it because wow, it was strong and delicious. Beyond the food and drinks, the whole place has this warm, beautiful French market vibe that feels cozy, elevated, and welcoming all at once. Great atmosphere, amazing flavors, and the kind of spot that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend.
