    Double decker turkey sandwich
    NiNi F.

    I was greeted as soon as I came in. It's a small shop but they do have tables if u want to eat there. I had the double decker turkey sandwich and the chicken salad sandwich. I thoroughly enjoyed both sandwiches. They pile on the meat. My only complaint is they didn't put enough turkey bacon on the double decker. There's half a piece on each sandwich. It would be nice to get a half on the top and bottom layer since it is a double decker sandwich.

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    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!!

    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

    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

    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.

    Manny's Deli today was an absolute gem…read more The funny part is, I had no intention of going there today. Manny's has always been on my list, but this morning I was actually heading to Lou Mitchell's. I got there, saw the line, and immediately decided I didn't have that kind of patience in me . So I changed plans, headed over to Manny's, and somehow the place I wasn't even planning on visiting ended up being exactly where I was supposed to be. I walked in having absolutely no idea what I was doing, and there was a woman standing there looking just as confused as I was. She looked at me and said, "This is my first time." I laughed and said, "Mine too. Let's do it together." And just like that, we were off. I decided I wanted breakfast, so one of the guys pointed me back toward the first counter and told me, "He'll take care of your breakfast. If you want anything else, come back and see me." Perfect. I ordered scrambled eggs with corned beef hash, hash browns and toast, then worked my way down to the hot bar where I added some macaroni and cheese and a knish. And THAT was the move. Everything was really good, but the mac and cheese and the knish were the stars of the entire meal. Manny's is famous for the gigantic deli sandwiches, but after today, I'm convinced the real adventure is working your way through that hot bar. The sides are where it's at. While I was waiting in line, one of the guys behind the counter noticed my Dave Matthews Band shirt and started talking music with me. He told me he liked Dave and that he was a huge Phil Collins fan. I told him I'm a Phil Collins guy too, and we ended up having this completely random, genuine little conversation about music in the middle of a busy Chicago deli. Before I left, I told him I was glad he shared that with me and hoped he had a great day. We laughed, said goodbye, and went about our lives. And honestly, that little interaction was almost as good as the food. That's what I loved about Manny's. It didn't feel polished or manufactured. It felt like Chicago. Great food. People actually talking to each other. A little confusion when you first walk in. A stranger becoming your temporary partner because neither of you knows what the hell you're doing. A random conversation about Dave Matthews and Phil Collins. And somehow, by the time you leave, you feel like you were part of the place for an hour. I went looking for Lou Mitchell's today. Instead, I accidentally found Manny's. And I'm really glad I did. Manny's, I'll be back. Next time, though, I know exactly what I'm doing.

    I was in Chicago for a wedding and had a few moments to myself. I arranged my other stops so that I…read morewould be at Manny's for lunch. I heard it was the Katz's Deli of Chicago. With a recommendation like that, I was ready to try anything. Parking can be a challenge in Chicago, but they had a lot in the rear of the restaurant, which was nearly empty. I strolled around to the front and walked in. I wasn't ready for it to be a cafeteria-style eatery, but it really didn't matter. The ambience was kind of cute. Lots of black and white tiles for a retro feel and some historical pictures of the founder. I ordered the 1/2 sandwich and cup of soup lunch special. Matzah ball was my choice of soup and my half sandwich looked huge. I was ready. I tasted the soup first. The broth was clear, and the matzah ball was large. I like hard matzah balls and soft, so it didn't matter to me which it was. What surprised me was the lack of chicken soup flavor. The matzah ball was spongy and not particularly tasty. On to the sandwich. The first thing I noticed was that the carver didn't pull a chunk out of a steam cabinet. They had a slicing machine running constantly forming a mound from which the carver grabbed a handful of corned beef, then a handful of pastrami, which had already been sliced and griddled to add to the corned beef. I asked about the smallest size side of chopped liver they could offer and he gave me a tiny chilled dose sized cup of liver pulled out of the fridge. So far I wasn't impressed. The chopped liver tasted very good but it was hand chopped and in large pieces with very little schmaltz. The sandwhich wasn't anything special. Not hot, not piled and the pickle was a kosher dill, not a half sour. I left half of my half sandwich, the pickle (except for the one bite), and even some chopped liver. For the cost of this average lunch , I would have rather eaten at my favorite deli in Atlanta and had tongue which wasn't even on the menu at Manny's.

The meat was very fresh and I absolutely loved the spicy fig chutney that gave the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I can imagine this place gets busy and although I was able to walk in and order, there was a healthy stream of customers coming in right after me mid afternoon. Food 5/5 - I'd come back to try more, there's even a water station! Ambiance 5/5 - cute shop and has indoor and outdoor seating Service 4/5 - our cashier seemed bored and bothered by taking my order. Maybe I caught her at the wrong time but it does make me think twice about coming back to this specific location.
