    Food is always delicious, service always friendly and we love the rotating soups! And cant beat the rooftop view!

    Circa 3/2023

    Our first visit was a success! We all enjoyed our subs and sandwiches. I had the hot steak which is one of their signature dishes. I had them add the grilled jalapeños that are offered on the steak supreme. Super friendly staff, and plenty of tables to dine at. They have a bar next door too. Two daily soups available as your side.

    Italian sub

    We were in the mood for sandwiches and decided to check out Shannon's Deli in downtown Lombard. The pasta salad was lacking a lot of flavor. It just tasted like noodles with a little grated cheese on it. The potato salad was alright. I prefer my homemade potato salad over theirs. We ordered two sandwiches as well which were the Italian and American subs that come with a pickle spear. The American sub was drowning in mustard and browned lettuce. The Italian sandwich was very chintzy on the meat. It was a very thin layer of Italian meats on bread. We paid $37 and it was definitely not worth it. I was really looking forward to trying this place and supporting a local business, but unfortunately it came up short for us. We won't be returning.

    Veggie sub and soup.

    How did I not know this was an awesome dine-in restaurant in downtown Lombard? I guess I thought "deli" more like take-out and not a real restaurant. And it is tucked around the corner from the main road so I only just walked by on my way to take the tunnel under the train and discovered it's huge! I am SO glad I found it! There are only a few vegetarian options but I found the veggie sub and cream of zucchini soup both excellent and filling. The sub comes on fresh bread with a bunch of different freshly sliced cheeses plus red peppers, cucumbers, onion, lettuce and tomato. I skipped the pesto mayo. They offer burgers, sandwiches, salads, subs and soups. Plus plenty of sides and desserts. The counter lady was super friendly and encouraged me to take a tour- deli, dining room, butcher shop and even an upstairs space with an outdoor deck. There is a take-out counter too with some amazing looking desserts including a $5 brownie that is the size of a small cake. Dining room is cute and cozy with tin paneling and a vintage ice chest adding to the charming decor. There was music playing and was quite crowded at 12:30 but was surprisingly pleasant- must have good acoustics as it didn't seem loud. The 3 TVs are on mute which is nice.

    Shrimp po boy

    Amazing shrimp po boy! The first time I went they were sold out and I was so sad, but ever since, they've been good at having the sandwich. A little pricey, but the flavor makes up for it! A nice reward on a Friday after working hard during the week.

    Italian sub, Reuben, and stuffed peppers soup

    Great sandwhich shop. I always come for a sandwich and leave with more. Love their chicken salad to take home and eat on crackers. Also the homemade soups are awesome. Normally get a bowl to go also. Today I went with the Reuben and my gf went with the Italian sub no onions. As usual we spilt both. Very tender corn beef, kraut, thousand island on lite rye. Thousand island is weird on its own but delicious on the sandwhich, I think they food processed it so it makes it a bit more watery. The soup of the day was stuffed pepper, we had them put a bit of shredded cheese on it and it was delicious.

    If you're in the area, this Deli does a good job with a nice selection of salads to go with your lunch. As good, if not better than all the other shops similar, so you'll not be disappointed.

    Build your own. Chicken salad sandwich with pepper jack on sourdough
    Paloma B.

    It was so good I stopped eating to immediately write this. Can't wait to finish the rest!!! Just stopped in to get lunch to go on my break. I got the build your own sandwich. Chicken salad sandwich with pepper jack cheese on sourdough, chips, a drink, and a lemon bar for $15 Very friendly staff and quick service. Chicken salad is very well seasoned and it comes with a generous portion in the sandwich. Lemon bar has just the right amount of sweet/tart balance. Definitely a new go-to for lunch as my office is in Lombard.

    I'm May we celebrated my daughter in law's graduation at Shannon's Deli. The party was a huge success. The staff was so accommodating. The food was so amazing and the space was perfect. We had the downstairs to decorate and hangout and than you could go on the rooftop for a change. I highly recommend. Even if you are not having a party just go for the food

At first, I was disappointed they didn't have Chicago Italian beef. So I asked what they would recommend, and the very polite lady behind the counter said, "You should try my meatball sub." I laughed and told her, "I don't know... my late grandma (100% Italian) made the best meatballs ever, but alright, let's do it." Then she asked, "Do you want peppers?" and of course my reply was, "Heck yeah!" She chuckled. When the sub came out, I have to say, it was huge. I sat down, took one quick smell and a bite... BOOM. I was instantly transported back to my grandma's kitchen, eating Saturday pasta and meatballs. I highly recommend checking this little gem out. The service, the atmosphere, and especially the food were all amazing. I definitely was not disappointed. P.S. Don't skip the desserts -- once again, absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the memories and the great experience!

It's not huge inside Meltwich, but they have a bunch of stool seating and two booths with leatherette seating. I was excited to discover that Meltwich is halal. I'm not a big grilled cheese guy as it's mostly carbs and fat, but Meltwich has other items like chicken and beef. For example, they have a couple of sandwiches with grilled chicken, a couple burger options, even a Philly cheese steak option. They also have a variety of fries and milkshakes. I'd like to try one of the fries w/ meat items some other time. I was overwhelmed with the options, but the employee pointed out his two favorite options, so that helped me narrow it down. I went with the Southern Fried Chicken Melt (just the sandwich, not the combo). It was fried chicken with melted cheese and some veggies smushed between multi-grain bread. It was served very hot, so after a couple of attempted bites I decided to take it home to eat. It was very tasty. It took about 12 minutes to come out. I definitely plan to go again and try some other items. Service was excellent. I think pricing was fair ($12.95 for the sandwich only, plus tax & tip) considering the size of the sandwich; it was enough for two people, quite frankly.
