I've been going to Augie's for over 30 years and never had a bad sandwich. And I would rate it 5…read morestars on any other visit than this particular one. Maybe it was just a bad day for them today, but it was less than expected. Went with my wife and son for lunch. The young lady at the counter seemed to be having a bad day, at least I hope she was, because if she's like that every day, she shouldn't be working there. She had attitude and was short with us. It wasn't anything she said, but rather, the abruptness with her questions and overall demeanor. If we ordered anything on the side, or asked for something different than what usually comes on a sandwich, she huffed and eye rolled us. It didn't make us feel very welcome. We got a number and sat down and waited. When our food arrived, we were short one soda and a side of vinegar and oil. No worries there. I was taken back a little that we were charged 50 cents for water, $2.50 for one slice of Gouda cheese, and 50 cents for an oil and vinegar cup. There is also a 3% charge for using a credit card. The actual food was better before. My combo sandwich was somewhat bland. I remember the hot dog being bigger before. It went from a deli hot dog to a regular sized one. My wife thought the turkey burger was bigger before as well. Overall, I remember it being more flavorful in the past. My potato salad was still very good. The cannoli pieces were outstanding. The place was fairly crowded being Mother's Day, and the service was pretty quick. Turkey burgers take a while to cook. It's always lively but quiet in the restaurant which I like. I hope this was a one time dud experience, and I will be back, unless the cashier has another bad day, and the food is lacking taste.

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.

Lots of fun deli sandwiches to choose from. I chose a French Dip; hubby had a pick two-- a cup of matzo ball soup, and 1/2 corned beef sandwich. Both served with a whole new pickle. Mine was absolutely delicious. Tons of beef, melty swiss, and grilled onion. Served nice and hot with a tasty au jus. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his as well. Great Jewish deli. Highly recommend whether you're Jewish or not! ;)

I asked the young man who came to the door where I could grab a couple bottles of apple juice, explaining the situation. He immediately invited me in and allowed me to purchase a couple bottles, explaining that he has a relative with diabetes and is familiar with the risks of dropping blood sugar. I am immensely grateful for his empathy and compassion. I wish I had gotten his name but whoever he is, he my profound gratitude. To the owners of Shane's, you have a keeper!

The jalapeno chips have a nice kick to them. Friendly staff members. They seem to keep the dining room clean but didn't notice anyone spot cleaning after guests leave.

You haven't been to a great deli til you been here! Ive been coming for years and taken many guests…read morehere and everyone leaves saying the same thing "this is the best Deli food I ever had!" Fair amount of seating and a cute outdoor patio out back. This is the place that has ruined me from going to other Delis. Nobody stacks up to this place when it comes to food quality and portions. Even fancy places that charge twice as much don't hold a candle. Quality non fatty meats, Homemade soups, homemade Italian dressing. delicious soft fresh breads, always super fresh veggie toppings and salads, Huge portions, and extremely fair price. The homemade desserts are to die for and often sell out early because they are just that good. The owner herself is always there making the sandwiches personally so you know they get made with care every time. Honestly this Deli blows every other deli out the water hands down. The only drawback is very limited days and hours open. You kinda gotta plan your visit with timed intent, but catching them open makes the visit feel special because it's SOOOO Good & you're guaranteed to leave feeling like you got more than your moneys worth and making notes on when they are open next again because you'll want to bring a friend to impress. I've never craved Deli before like I do this place and you'll know why once you try it!

The place itself is incredibly inviting, all warm wood, cozy corners, very Bavarian lodge meets Polish soul. It was busy and buzzing, and Polish was the main language at nearly every table... except ours, which was happily bilingual in Spanish. It felt authentic, lively, and full of life. The service was friendly, fun, and patient, guiding us through the menu with enthusiasm. We shared a feast: pelmeni, Highlander-style pork shank, kiszka, Real Man's Meatballs (Męskie Klopsiki), and other delicious goodness that made the table groan (in the best way). Every dish was hearty, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. It was also my birthday, and just when I thought the night couldn't get better, the staff surprised me with dessert and sang Happy Birthday in Polish. I loved it. Big smiles, full heart. The food was so good that I stayed behind afterward to order takeout for my husband, stuffed cabbage (gołąbki) and pierogi, because sharing joy is important... and leftovers are sacred. U Gazdy isn't just a meal, it's an experience. One that fills your belly, warms your spirit, and makes you want to come back hungry.

It has lots of pretty much whatever you can think of whether it's some kind of sausage or some baked goods if you're looking for sweets. They have so much packed into this small store it's hard to believe they fit it all in there. Has a humongous selection of alcohol. There's a lot of Polish beers, and hard stuff. It's $10.59 for some bottles of liquor. They have some really good vodka. As for the food, they have lots of sweet eats. The best of these are the uszatki. It's $1.69 for a bag of iced gingerbreads. These also happen to be vegan. Bread is another popular item. It's $3.99 for a typical big loaf. They have a few including chleb zakwasie. It's like a rye bread. There's also tons of candy and goods. Counter has the meats and typical stuff that's at a deli. It also has lots of hot items. The ingredients on most items here are in English but some aren't so it helps to know Polish.
