    Italian Submarine

    Stopped in on the way to Chicago for lunch. The food was delicious . The bread was soft and fresh and the Italian sub amazing. The white turkey chili was light and flavorful. I highly recommend.

    My wife went in around lunch time to pick up lunch. She let me know it's a really cute inside spot with an area to sit and eat. We got the Super Ham Delight and everything and a side of potato salad. Amazing. Tasty. It was packed, cut and presented beautifully. I have had plenty of deli sandwiches from NYC and this was comparable, especially in the middle of Illinois. It was warm when it got to me, the meat is stuffed and piled, pickle crisp! I loved the way they wrapped it up and cut it perfectly. My wife had the pastrami on a roll and it was so flavorful and perfect. She had just cheese and a pickle and it was a great lunch. The potato salad is SO good, it doesn't have a ton of flair, it is thin hand cut potatoes with dressing, and honestly it doesn't need anything else. I can't wait to try more of their tasty goods!!

    Lunchtime & first-timer! I recently visited the New York Deli in Bourbonnais, Illinois, and had a delightful experience. The place was spotless, and the two women who served us were as friendly as a warm bagel. The sandwiches were fresh and generously sized, making our $24 well spent. If you're in the area and craving a good sandwich, this deli is worth a visit--just be prepared to leave with a happy belly and a smile!

    Amazing sandwiches, side dishes, service and a clean restaurant. Made my day on my lunch break, I can promise you NYC deli is better than any chain sandwich.

    Stopped by to pick up some sandwiches to bring to Kankakee River State Park. The people working there were friendly and everyone was wearing masks. We ordered a reuben, italian and a pasta salad. The sandwiches were big and the ingredients were fresh. I prefer my deli meat cut a little thinner, but that's just my preference. Decent spot for a freshly made deli sandwich.

    I needed to stop for gas and I missed lunch so I jumped on Yelp to see what's around and NYC deli showed up, it's probably a chain that I have never seen but I'm going over because what if it's not and I don't know. The place is next to a gas station in a small strip mall that is so easy to miss. Well if it is a chain it's done very well with real deli cases, stainless slicer and they only serve Boars Head meat and cheeses, no Subway fake meat here. Right off the bat I liked the quality meats and cheeses from one company so now I'm thinking this might not be a chain and it's not, it's the only one they tell me. Some reviews say you can buy the meats in the store and make your own but that's just not true because by the time you buy the breads, cheeses, meats, condiments etc the sandwich would be $20 when you are done, no one buys carl budding garbage meats to make subway at home. The place has a small seating area with small tables and chairs and at 2 ish pm it was full. They did a great job at recreating an old school deli with two slanted cold cases displaying the meats, pickles, sides, cheeses and good looking sweet treats. I like the menu because it has dedicated sandwiches or a list of the meats and cheeses to create your own. After you choice the basic sandwich i.e. meats you have total control over the out come, size, hot or cold, cheese, breads, toppings and spreads so if you don't like what you got it's your fault. The options are endless so you could eat here once a week for a year and never have the same sandwich. Everything sounded good but I settled on the Big New Yorker not knowing that I had to build it so I had the white roll, pastrami, corn beef, Swiss, mayo, red onion, lettuce, tomato, thick pickles served cold style. There is some kind of tasty crack like sprinkle that finishes off the sandwich that's just completes the sandwich. My first bit was like wow this is pretty good, nice quality meats, soft fresh roll, fresh toppings, pickles more like cucumbers so not over powering and secret seasoning just playing well together. My first thought was this is reminding me of the picnic basket in Wauwatosa Wi which serves top quality sandwiches that no chain can touch. Overall this place is doing sandwiches to a higher degree than any chain so if your in the area or fortunate live in the area stop by and get one. I knew it was too good to be a chain after my first tasting and I will probably never be in the area again to get another one, what a dam shame because they make a point of putting out great product and it shows.

    The staff is friendly, and they make a mean sandwich. Pretty good pricing for how much food you're getting
