    I stopped in for the first time and was warmly welcomed--customer service was definitely on point, which I appreciate. Gratitude for that. As for the food, it didn't quite live up to the hype. I tried the DJ's Jerk Turkey Panini, and unfortunately, it missed the mark for me--bland, underwhelming, and just not memorable. I also had the Blackened Greek Shrimp Salad and some of their "homemade" lemonade. The salad was decent--definitely better than the panini--but the lemonade tasted like sugary, store-bought juice. Nothing truly homemade or unique stood out. The decor and seating are fine, though the space is small and parking is limited--street parking only, so be prepared to circle the block if you're driving. Overall, a mixed experience. Great service, but the food didn't impress. Thank you for having me.

    Fantastic service with the friendliest family of staff Tried them at lollapalooza, got the: Turkey burger bites bomb dot com fried plantains famous turkey monte cristo Sandwich (batter + light sugar with toast, cheese & turkey frie)d Veggie Philly cheese steak Homemade strawberry lemonade Seriously everything was delicious! Definitely would want to try the monte cristo and PLAINTAINS freshly fried in the shop likely the best PLAINTAINS I've had in Chicago When grabbing and going, I would recommend ordering on their website ahead of time vs using door dash/GrubHub.

    Mae Annas Jerk Chicken Wrap
    Melanie B.

    Ordered via Uber Eats. First off, phenomenal customer service. A representative called me to inform me that I couldn't make a substitution (with the Turkey Cristo just FYI) and to ensure of my other requested substitutions, which I genuinely appreciated, because most restaurants don't take the time to resolve minor issues like that. Now the food. The jerk chicken wrap, phenomenal! 10/10. Really flavorful and not really spicy. Had mine with the tomato basil wrap. The salmon salad, I personally couldn't get into the caper dressing, but it is a nice accompaniment if you like capers. I'd try it again with a substitute dressing. The chili was really yummy too, and I don't really like chili. I'll definitely be returning and trying other menu items. Everything was fresh and well prepared, even if it wasn't my personal fave. Definitely a must try place!

    Turkey Burger Bites. I ate 1.5 already . lol
    Lala O.

    I ordered from DoorDash and my dasher brought the food and it was still hot ! And I don't live that close. I got the turkey burger bites and mom got the veggie sandwich. My burger bites was good. I didn't care for the fries. The plantains were outstanding! I actually like them better than the burger!! The only thing with the burger is the bun was slightly chewy and that could be due to the travel. My mom loved her sandwich !!! The chocolate chip cookies were very good. The food was fresh ! When I eat here I don't feel bad. This is a healthier option for outside food. My mom devoured her sandwich so no pic of that lol

    Thoroughly enjoyed my items from here but let me tell you about that damn salad! I'm willing to rank it as one of the best in the city after only one try. Twas huge to say the least, chock full of fresh ingredients, crisp, lettuce & that caper dressing was to die for. Seriously the staff should consider bottling the stuff & I'd be first in line! I also tried the jerk turkey sandwich & it was decent. I'd never think to pair jerk with turkey but it was a welcome difference from the often mundane jerk chicken found around the city. The jerk was very reminiscent of true jerk not the five alarm fire people assume is the authentic jerk flavor. The hours will unfortunately hinder me from becoming a regular but if given the opportunity I think think salad should be experienced by everyone.

    Devin's buffalo chicken wrap is so good! Would definitely order again

    The wrap was really good, not overly stuffed at all. Sauce was good and would definitely eat here again

    The turkey sandwich comes warmed w/Turkey bacon, red onions, spinach and a homemade sauce.
    Mzz A.

    This was my first time visiting Mabe's and I'll definitely return. I ordered a Turkey sandwich (I think) it had red onions, spinach, Turkey bacon and a homemade sauce. It was very tasty. The sandwich was warm and served on toasted bread. The potatoes were tasty too. The customer service was great and made to order. The ambiance is cafe style.

    What's left of my Chicken Salad sandwich LOL
    Alishja B.

    Wow! We HIGHLY recommend this deli! If I could give 10 stars I would. Home made chicken salad is the best! Awesome Buffalo chicken wrap, smoothies are off the chain and the owners are great! Go and eat!!

    BTL nasty I couldn't eat it !!!
    Linda P.

    The BLT is nasty !!! Spinach was on it not lettuce and when you think of BLT it's fresh tomatoes and lettuce not cook not hot ! You looking for crush not soggy!

    Salmon Salad
    Viviana T.

    Service is impeccable! You are greeted with a smile even though they're often busy. The SALMON SALAD is literally to die for! Dave's Buffalo chicken wrap is such a crowd pleaser, my mom and boss always ask for that one when I run to get lunch. While I was waiting for my order, they had some samples. So I tried the chickpea salad sandwich which just so happens to be vegan ... IT IS BETTER THAN THE TUNA SALAD SANDWICH! Like dead serious. I can't wait for them to roll that one out next week. The chili is well seasoned and is better than expected for a fast food chili. It is not your mama's but it'll do for a nice hot side on a gloomy day like today. Strawberry banana smoothie is super good but it is not too sweet so if you are looking for a desert- try something else. It was perfect t for me but might not be up your alley. MY ADVICE: get lunch with your boo or coworker, choose 2 items from the menu and split them. You. Will. Not. Be. Disappointed. It was lovely to see a woman-led kitchen; they were moving like a well oiled machine. They are on door dash as Mabe's Deli! & I've been 3 times now and never wrote a review so I had to write y'all an essay today.

    Salmon salad
    Roxanne D.

    Everything I've tried from here is delicious. I usually get the Double Decker Sandwich but I've also had the Jerk Turkey Panini, 312 Sandwich and chili. Today I tried the salmon salad with Cajun Salmon and... it is everything !!

    On a busy Saturday, I decided to order ahead for myself and my hangry kids. We ordered Italian,…read moretuna and prosciutto subs. We also threw in an order of tiramisu and the large canoli. We were quoted a time of 20 minutes out. We arrived a little early and the gal at the counter told us it would be a few minutes. She called out when ready and sat at one of the tables in the front to eat. Each sub had a decent amount of filling. While we each offered the smallest subs, we were plenty full when we left. We enjoyed our subs and now have a place to add to our list for a new quick lunch. For the store itself, they have some odds and ends but many Italian staples. The counter and deli had a steady flow of customers in and out.

As I parked this large Chevy Suburban parked in front of me. As I sat in the car & saw one person after another unloaded & head towards Potbelly. In all I counted 8 guys unloading from this Suburban. & head to Potbelly. I'm like oh hell no. That's when I saw CONTE DI SAVOIA @ 1438 W Taylor Street on the north side of Taylor Street. I decided to cross over & check out this old world Italian Deli. Conti Di Savoia is small Italian grocery store w/an Italian deli that has w/outstanding & inexpensive sandwiches. When I went in there was a line of people waiting @ the deli counter waiting to place their order. I must have looked confused because the owner directed me & told the line started on the other side towards the back of the store. What I found was an awesome of fresh handmade sandwiches for a very reasonable price. I ordered an 8" pastrami w/mozzarella cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, red onions, mayo, & Italian oil drizzled. What I got was an awesome inexpensive sandwich loaded with/fresh ingredients. Absolutely delicious. After I got my sandwich the owner (I introduced myself (I think his name was Mike) rang up the sandwich. He said they have been there for 35 years. There's also a small dining area in the front of the store where I sat & devoured my sandwich. Like I said this is small Italian store w/a nice selection of products like meats, cheeses, pastas, wine, olive & deli items. I throughly enjoyed finding Conte Di Savoia. The pastrami sandwich was awesome w/a generous portion of pastrami & toppings for a reasonable price. I'm the type of person who who loves finding new places to eat. Most times unless I find great food & reasonable prices I won't go back but I feel like I found a real gem W/Conti Di Savoia. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN.

I like that they don't have onions at the deli so it doesn't overpower everything else. My husband typically loves the club. They rolled a generous amount into a container and I used scissors to quickly and easily cut it. It was a perfect lunch and I have enough for another tomorrow!
