In light of Rosh Hashanah, we were looking for Jewish places to eat and came across Schmaltz Deli…read more We never knew there was a Jewish deli in the area and boy were we missing out. As soon as we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great experience. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables available as well as a traditional deli counter. They also have a drive thru! You can choose to order at the counter or be seated with a more traditional restaurant-like service. Our waiter was young but very professional and provided great recommendations. To start, they bring a complimentary bowl of bagel chips (a unique twist and a great way to repurpose old bagels). For my meal, I had a half American sandwich with a bowl of matzo ball soup. It was simple but delicious. On our way out, we stopped at the deli and ordered a few rugelach. They tasted so fresh! My favorite was the apricot flavor. Definitely hope to be back real soon to support such a great spot! Shana Tova!

3.5 stars, but rounded up because I didn't feel they deserved any deduction…read more I was REALLY looking forward to their #20 Old New Yorker, which I got in their Navel Cut pastrami. It was a solid 7, which is why I place it at 3.5 stars. I may be being picky here but it just wasn't to the level of "melt-in-your-mouth" pastrami standards for me. Not to say it wasn't good, because it was perfectly fine. In fact, it's better than most of the pastrami sandwiches I tried in Chicagoland. Maybe it's the fact that I had to bring it back to the office to eat it, and half hour had gone by and pastrami weren't as warm and the Jewish rye had become soggy by the time I took the first bite. I mean, it goes without saying that the sandwich would have been 3 times better had I sat down immediately and had it. Again, all things considered, it was a perfectly good sandwich. One interesting thing was that I had never been to an establishment that included a half sour pickle instead of a normal one and gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. Pickles can be a hit or a miss for me. I like my pickles to be crunch, but some places offer overripened ones that become borderline mushy. Schmaltz's half sour pickle was not overly salty or sour, making it very attractive for me. The more I'm thinking about it, I'm convinced that I'll have to go back and try their #14 Sloppy Paul, which is the corned beef with sauerkraut, which is another favorite of mine. And this time, I'll be sure to dine in and give another review of it to see how much I like them better.

Spice was perfect, just enough heat but not too much. The service was great, the cashier helped me find what sandwich I was looking for, asked if I wanted the lunch special and introduced me to diet RC, which I didn't even know was a thing. Seems like a nice family owned restaurant. I was tempted to eat inside but I opted to eat in my car even though the inside was very clean and had a nice vibe, only critique is seats were a little worn. Edit: Also! I was reading the past reviews and I don't know if they changed their pricing, but i got two sodas, the sandwich and fries and it came out to like $13, which in this economy was not bad at all! 4.5/5 - I will be frequenting this spot weekly for lunch. I want to try the other sandwiches but that vodka parm was so good. We'll see.

The gentleman working was patient while I read the menu. We chose the original chicken Cesar and the KO Philly. The chicken Cesar was amazing. The cutlet was cooked so well and the dressing had great flavor!! The KO Philly's meat was so tender and we really enjoyed trying something new with all the flavors of the KO Philly. Didn't give 5 stars because it was a bit expensive for 2 subs (that don't come with anything) & the KO Philly needed more jalapeños to offset the sweet BBQ (the jalapeños were a great touch!)

Have tried a few times the past 18 months or so with very good priced groupons, BUT I will no longer go back. The large sandwich which the bun was much less bread than the last time and there was not enough meat to cover the entire bun. Fries were way greasier than in the past. The meat has grizzle chunks in them. We have been the only customer in the place the last few times. Way too overpriced for the size and quality.

We spilt the NWB Trio appetizer which was a selection of hummus,olive tapenade and corn guacamole,fresh veggies and grilled pita. Definitely big enough for 4 people. Their menu offers Mac n cheese, Gourmet Burgers,Wraps,Sandwiches and Salads. I had the NWB Burger which was an 8 oz burger topped with pork belly,cheese curds,whiskey bbq sauce on a pretzel bun. Absolutely delicious! My wife had The Gobbler (GF) with a Turkey burger,avocado,goat cheese,roasted red pepper sauce on a GF bun. She loved it and they only charged an extra 1.00 for the GF bun.

A friend and I stopped in for a weekday lunch and there were about 15 other customers as well. This is a casual whiskey bar with your standard bar food and drinks. Service throughout was kind of inconsistent but still OK. The food came out fairly quick which is ideal for me anyway haha. We both opted for the $10 smash burger lunch special that comes with fries. For $10 this is a great deal. The burger was juicy and delicious. The sauce on the burger goes very well with it and the bun is buttery, very good. The fries? Meh, they were pretty bland and stale.

We pre-ordered three catering boxes of sandwiches and cookies for the team, while I opted to order my own meal individually at the counter. I ordered the veggie sub on gluten-free bread, "Mike's Way" with no onions. I was immediately impressed by their cross-contamination protocols: when I informed the staff of my allergy, they let me know that gluten-free sandwiches are safely prepared in the back to avoid allergen exposure. The customer service was exceptional from start to finish. The entire crew was friendly, efficient, and well-organized, handing me a direct ticket to pay so I could keep things moving. A standout highlight was their gluten-free cookies, which are delicious. Between the seamless catering setup, accommodating allergy safety, and great treats, this will definitely be my go-to lunch spot whenever I'm working down at the new office location.

This is because they slice the meat and cheese as people order. They offer white, wheat, gluten free, wrap, or bowl options. They do not have as many veggie choices as other sub shops.

He's planning on stopping on his way home from work for pizza, it's that good. The salad was well made with the dressing in the side. My uncle is Greek, and I think he'd approve of this salad. We ate outside as it was beautiful evening, but went onsite and it is cute, clean, and welcoming. A great space! We'll be back for more pizza, and to try the gyros, pasta and crepes. The quality is outstanding and the pride they have in delivering a great product is apparent. A bonus is being able to take a nice walk by the Prairie pond after dinner. It's a perfect date night idea!
