    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

    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!

    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.

    Oh yea, I can totally see why this spot is popular amongst Hyde Park folks! Friendly and helpful…read moreowners when I asked for recs. There's even a community board towards the bathroom, which gives this spot a community-based vibe. It's a quick, casual spot with several tables open for grabs when people leave. I got a traditional everything bagel w cream cheese to start the day, which had the RIGHT amt of cream cheese. Sometimes places give wayy too much, ruining the exp. I also ordered their popular Sumac Chicken sandwich on their Dutch Crunch bread, which was really good!! The bread had a slight sweetness to it that was satisfying and the flavors altogether were soo yummy. I waited ~12 min for my order, since they were rightfully packed. No outside food/drinks allowed if you're grabbing a table to eat. There's WiFi and a restroom in the back. Lots of neighborhood regulars. Bonus points that their food is halal for those w dietary restrictions. Great neighborhood spot!!

    Had my eye on this cafe for a while but never stepped in. Finally did and it was worth it. It's…read morepretty small inside but they make it work with enough seating in the front and back. Downside to sitting in is the music is loud so if you need a quiet space this probably isn't it. The service is good. Very swift and to the point. I ordered an iced coffee that I wouldn't get again but not a harsh judge on that. Don't think drinks are their strong-suit. Naturally, best part is the sandwiches. I had a corned beef breakfast sandwich on croissant and it was fantastic. Will definitely be back!
