The corned beef sandwich had plenty of meat. Good flavor. It did seem very dry. No moisture in the meat. I would suggest ordering with something else on the sandwich like sauerkraut or thousand island dressing. I have not tried anything else but I heard the grits are off the hook and the breakfast menus looked pretty good. Service was swift. No nonsense at the register. The cooks were very polite and friendly. It came with a couple pickle spears. Ambiance is a bit rough. Looks clean but worn out. It's a throwback utilitarian dinner. It needs some love and some neon. The cost was high. About $17 for a no frills CB sandwich at a no frills dinner seemed like you should at least get a side with it. Overall I liked it and will be back to try something else. read more

We shared: 1. Jumpball Scramble - corned beef, 3 eggs, potatoes, onions, American cheese, toast 2. Corned Beef sandwich Corned beef was a little dry but big portions in both dishes. Highly recommend the jumpbell; it's pure comfort, shareable, and you must add the gravy. Not a terribly long menu with very reasonable prices ($1 pop?!?!) Staff were very friendly/social and added to the fun experience. read more

This place was my dad's favorite place. Took me there every weekend to get pancakes. Miss Moon's I gotta get back to Chicago and go and eat there read more

Moon's has the best corn, beef sandwiches and sides wonderful place to visit. Staff very nice.

Customer service can improve. Guy at the counter is a rude a hole. I won't give that guy a penny of my business.

Moons for the win on a quick and classic breakfast. Bacon, eggs scrambled well and grits, did not disappoint! They don't have cheddar cheese which I love in my grits, if your like me and love cheese. run across the street to Pete's and grab you some chedddaaaahhhh. read more

I loved it. If this as in the burns it would be a "towny" place. People were friendly. The place was busy a all heck. I had the corned beef. It was so big i could not finish. Its not fancy. Its a dive but an awesome dive. read more

Classic old school sandwich shop, but just not up to the standards of what I'd have again. The breakfast sandwich was fine, but the corned beef just wasn't any good. read more

I had my ordered delivered. I haven't been here in decades. I had a blt and chili. The BLT was decent. I loved it. The chili is oily with barely any beans. It's like ground beef in oily chili favored soup, and they forgot to add my cheese. Now this restaurant has been in Chicago for four score and seven years..idk how long the place has been in business but I remember it from the 80s so I gave them an extra star for longevity. read more

Moon's located at 16 S. Western, Chicago, IL 60612. I thought Moon's was closed...Hadn't been there since before the C-pandemic. During a telephone conversation with a friend (South Sider) he said "I gotta taste for a Moon's Cornbeef Plate" I said "What...Moon's is open???" He said "To his knowledge they never closed." It was about 9 pm when we were having this conversation. The next day I couldn't wait to pull-up at Moon's. It took me 45 minutes to get there from the Western Suburbs (I didn't care). It's still a challenge to find a park; however, Moon's is still the same clean small sandwich shop that I remembered it to be with friendly staff that greet you when you walk in. I ordered a "Corn beef Plate to Go." The plate cost $24 and consisted of "Thin Sliced very Tender Corn beef, Salad w/Italian Dressing, Corn, 2 Slices of Wheat Bread (your choice of bread) Mashed Potatoes w/Gravy ( I got my gravy on the side). Everything was delicious! It was Sooo much food. It took me 2 days to finish the plate. Everything was still delicious the next day. read more

I have had Moon's before it's been some years. I had a corned beef sandwich. It was very good! Solid sandwich. And the service was good also. It was a great value also at the time. I'm definitely have to stop by in the near future. 8/10 Remember all reviews are subjective. read more

After much anticipation, my research on some of Chicago's oldest establishments has been paying off. As someone who seeks out classic hidden hole in the wall gems, this one did not disappoint. For a sandwich shop that has been in business for nearly 90 years they are doing something right. Simple but fresh is their strategy. Classic sandwiches made fresh to order right in front of you, this little shop is not just for the neighborhood but a destination location. Instead of a side of fries, you'll have the option of chips or freshly made potatoes on the griddle, corned beef sliced to order with little to no fat warmly sandwiched in between delicately soft rye bread, and the cheeseburger sitting beautifully in white paper was absolutely fantastic. Took the menu to go as I will most definitely be back! read more

Thankfully found street parking in this busy area so I could stop by Moon's for their famous Corned Beef Sandwich before heading to my work event. Love how iconic this shop has become in the neigborhood, and it's clear how many regulars they're always getting. I thought the sandwich was alright. Kinda pricey and dry. Asked for rye bread and got white instead. It was right around the corner from my destination, so I'm glad I got to witness the vibes of the customers and hardworking staff regardless! read more

I was super excited to try this place after reading all of the great reviews, but unfortunately didn't have the same experience. I ordered the corned beef sandwich with rye bread. On first look, the sandwich is PACKED with meat and looks amazing. Inside the sandwich, there's also lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and mustard. On first bite, I was very disappointed by how dry and bland the corned beef was. It was not terrible, but not enjoyable. read more

First time eating here, quick delivery service. I was told 45mins to and hour it came in 30mins. The corn beef was good, nicely loaded with lots of meat, and filling. The potatoes on the other hand were SO good. Little too expensive for my taste, heard a lot about this place; glad I tried it. Tip: Iceberg lettuce isn't real. It's white, not green, such a waste of time. That's all. read more

I'm a sandwich guy but not necessarily a corned beef sandwich guy, never the less, this is the best corned beef sandwich I have ever eaten. A manageable stack of corned beef, loved that the pickle was part of the sandwich, delightful. A step back in time. (FDV Approved 4.5 - Food, 4.7; Design, 4.3; Value, 4.5). read more

I visited Moon's twice so far. I like Moon's. Their corn beef sandwich is to die for. They are not shy with the meat, very tasty, and you can even make more sandwiches with it! That is how much meat they give you! They do the same for the roast beef sandwich, too, but the roast beef sandwich is only served on Mon., Wed., and Fri. Two very good sandwiches. I would come back for it. The turkey looks good, too. They serve a good breakfast here, too, all day long! The Jumpball is incredible! I got the bacon one without egg and it is very good. They cook the best potatoes in the city! The bacon is not bad either. I would come back for the Jumpball and potatoes. They fooled me on my second visit. I thought since they gave me so much meat on the roast and corned beef sandwiches that they would do they same for the other sandwiches as well. Boy, I wrong. So stay away from the grill cheese, BLT and meatloaf sandwiches. Just not worth buying because there is not enough meat on any of the sandwiches. The meatloaf is tasty, but only two slices of it are on the sandwiches. It is a hole in the wall. Whatever year it was built was the last time they made any changes to it. In the heart of the urban west side. So be prepared for weed smoke, cigarette smoke, masks not all the way on the face, somebody high or drunk on the street, hearing sirens all over, somebody trying to sell you something, employees fighting among themselves, a lot of cussing over current events, loud talking, waiting for your food 30 mins after you order it and accessing everything I just mentioned during those 30 mins. read more

Moon's Sandwich Shop - Pork Chop Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ordered ahead on Grubhub and didn't start my order til I came to the pickup time. I wanna assume it's due to being under staffed and having other orders to deal with. There is a sign that says "no mask no service" and they don't enforce it consistently. One worker asks a man trying to come in to stay outside. He didn't have his mask on. He just had it in his hand. Later he persists and just walks in and no one behind the counter says anything, despite the sign posted. Social distancing and masks aren't enforced. This is concerning. Customer safety isn't prioritized as much as it needs to be here. They seem to just give up after being pushed around a bit. It doesn't take much to break the rules here. Only one man was really enforcing it but he wasn't always around to be at the entrance. This hard working man is spread thin and it's unfortunate that his coworkers don't consistently enforce the expectations like he does. It's no wonder some customers will follow the expectations and some won't. Consistency is key. The cashier is definitely aware of what is going on but just continues his work. "You are why people don't want to give business to restaurants. All you care about are appearances and just care about making money regardless of who's safety is compromised. Shame on you!". I even clearly filled out the form on Grubhub and asked for white toast and they gave me raisin toast. This place isn't known for attention to detail when it comes to technology. My order was definitely made in a rush. I'll wait when you actually know how to enforce masks and social distancing constantly and actually higher order accuracy. read more

Loved the corned beef sandwich with just the right ratio of meat to Ryebread. But $14 for sandwich and chips is a bit steep. Who serves CB sand with lettuce and tomato?

MOON has really good food. The service is great too. Moon corn beef sandwich is to good.

This place once had great corned beef, now the corned is as dry as rump roast and almost the cost of a steak! Not worth the time and definitely not the money! It's seems as if all of these restaurants are capitalizing off CoVid with these ridiculous price. Do yourself a favor, and make it yourself. Signed Dry as Leather. 0 stars from Me read more

I've always wanted to try this spot in the hood. It's a 85 yr old institution. Serving up piles of corned beef and a solid breakfast. If you're extra hungry get the Jump ball, it's shareable too. Great grits and you won't leave dissatisfied. Ask for Jim if you're not happy. Ask for Baybay if you are in the mood for some laughs, just don't call her Bebe! They've been on the block since 1933 and in this building since 1947. Ask to see the picture from 1968, when the National Guard were out front, protecting them from the riots. read more

Everything about this gigantic corned beef sandwich was amazing. The corned beef was flavorful and tender. The pickles were fresh and crispy and the rye bread complimented the sandwich so well. I do not normally care for rye bread but wanted to order the sandwich the way they make it. There rye bread meshed with the sandwich really well and I did not get overwhelmed by the flavor in the bread. They also give you a small plate of corned beef for free when you arrive. The restaurant itself was very buisy. It was a bit shabby but dont let that scare you the food is worth staying. The customer service was great and I found the employees and even customers around me to be very friendly. read more
