I love how fresh the ingredients are and how they assemble it with such care! I'm usually not a fan of oily or packed sandwiches, but the flavors just blended so well together. The oil, vinegar, and mayo pair so well with all the veggies, giardiniera, and deli meats... The service was top notch. You wait in line, and they have a no cell phone policy to give them your full attention. They make sure your sandwich is packed evenly and made how you want it! The ambiance is like a small deli, and you have the option of getting drinks or chips with your sandwich as well. It's giving an old school deli that hits the spot! They also have tables to sit and eat if you're interested.

Recently got to try JP Graziano after searching google "whats the best sandwich in Chicago." lolol…read moreI came across a reddit forum and JP Graziano was at the top of everyones recommendations. My friends and I just want to enjoy our Chicago summer and decided to go to the beach so naturally my mind went to sandwiches and immediately thought "this is my opportunity to go to JP Graziano" Ordered the Italian and the Mr. G and it was seriously the perfect beach sandwich. Me and my sister split each one to try and genuinely the Mr G is something ive never had before in a sandwich and it was amazing. The Italian is also delicious and is giving your classic Italian sub sandwich. But the Mr. G is what Im ordering again! I heard the bread is supplied by Damatos Bakery so thats definitely a plus! The atmosphere inside is so cool. It is very Italian/chicago vibes. Long line but it goes by very quickly. The staff there is working hard and fast and the owner himself is very nice. Definitely worth a trip for the sandwich. Id like to try their cannolis next time!

While in the area some time ago visiting Five Guys, I couldn't help but notice Schlotzsky's sign…read moreprior to leaving the area, which had a glowing eye-catching storefront sign. I imagined it was an ice cream shop, but after checking their website, I discovered they serve oven-baked sandwiches on signature sourdough bread, gourmet pizzas, flatbreads, calzones, fresh salads and Cinnabons as well. My initial visit came unexpectedly while headed to do laundry. Schlotzsky's is located within the Illinois Medical District in a sector filled with many well-known restaurant chains. I must warn you beforehand, but it can be a painful experience finding a parking space in this tight lot, which also shares space with a Hampton Inn. I honestly thought that was a poor location for a Hampton Inn--let alone any hotel--but I guess it is a win if you are staying at the hotel itself. I was acknowledged shortly by the employee who assisted me after walking up to the counter to review the menu. After browsing the offerings listed above, I ended up ordering the veggie supreme pizza. I chose it because nothing else on the menu interested me, except for their broccoli soup. My order was completed less than 10 minutes after I placed it. During that time, I was able to thoroughly look over the menu and snap pictures of it to share on Yelp. I opted not to dine in and chose to take my order to go. While there was nothing wrong with the atmosphere, I was on my way to do laundry after visiting a nearby post office. Aside from that, the dining area appeared clean, the atmosphere was calm, and there were plenty of tables and seats available. I was really pleased with the appearance of the veggie supreme pizza; it was bigger than I expected. The gluten-free cauliflower crust was topped with sliced mushrooms, green peppers, red onions, and black olives, then sprinkled with parmesan cheese. Right before taking my first bite in between doing my laundry, I had a huge smirk on my face. It was incredibly satisfying; the toppings were evenly spread throughout, delivering the exact taste I anticipated. The first thing that hit me was the vibrant harmony of flavors. The sauce provided a savory baseline that perfectly complemented the earthy richness of the melted cheese. What truly elevated the experience, though, is the cauliflower crust. It held up beautifully under the evenly spread-out toppings, offering a delightful, crispy base that let the freshness of the veggies shine without feeling heavy. Every single bite is a balanced explosion of savory, tangy, and garden-fresh goodness. If you are unsure about what to order from the menu, look no further than the veggie supreme pizza--you will not be disappointed. Being that I had a great ordering experience, I would surely order from Schlotzsky's again whenever visiting the area. Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Food: 5 | Overall Rating: 4 ~ Live. Laugh.

It was not crowded but people were coming in and out with take out and were eating inside. I got the Italian sandwich with banana peppers. It was very good, spicy salami, salty ham, fresh vegetables.

This place is a total vibe, we didn't eat inside but it was cute.

It's been a month since I flew to Chicago and tried this place, but it's absolutely a place you…read morecannot forget. Small spot you could casually pick up food and walk to if you're around downtown. Lots of cheese and sauce with a beautiful baguette to remind you that this place makes pizza too. Dough, cheese, and sauce are what this place really excels in. It's no surprise that they do it well across the board. Out of the sandwiches I tried, the gardinera pairs the best with the Drunken Chicken sandwich. I'm unsure if my hunger pangs were amplifying my experience, but this sandwich was something of legends... The ingredients combo into something a little too unfair to not be distributed to the rest of America. The food really feels special when you have it late night after a really long day of fun. The people are casual and nice and didn't make it awkward to eat there even though the place itself is quite small. Considering cops came in to order here out of all the places around, I can see how anyone could make this their staple spot.

It is shareable and hearty. The bread is so good. It's crusty and soft on the inside. It allows the right amount of sauce to soak in without being a giant mess. I don't consider it a save half and eat later sandwich though. In my experience it loses a bit of structure if not eaten right away. I have had the turkey, tuna, and meatball sandwich as well. All good and able to split into 2 meals and they save well. As mentioned, this spot is on repeat for me and haven't disliked anything. The pizza is ok but I wouldn't choose it as my pizza spot. There are better but if you are in a pinch a single slice option is nice. I enjoy the little Tiramisu cup. Perfect size. If you normally scroll by and wonder if you should try Nonna's go ahead. It's a good option.

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.
