Having a sudden taste for Mediterranean food, I decided to try this highly reviewed Snack & Shrack…read more It was well worth the trip. It is located in an L-shaped strip mall with easy parking. I had the Beef Shawarma Plate, falafels, and lentil soup. Ordering at the counter was easy. The shawarma plate comes with rice, house salad, hummus, red cabbage, pickles, and tahini sauce which is great. There are other possible sauce and topping additions or substitutions, but I went with those. It was delicious and filling. The lentil soup was tasty and freshly made, and the falafels had the perfect balance of crunch and softness. I took half of those home with me. Although size prevents it from being a complete dine-in experience, I was quite comfortable eating at one of the small tables available for those eating there. A gentleman who worked at the 7-11 in the same plaza, stopped in to eat as well. He had a tasty looking wrap. The guys behind the counter spoke back and forth with him, so it was obvious that he is a regular customer. It's nice that he can grab a nice, quality lunch so nearby his workplace. The service was quick, the food terrific, and the prices reasonable. I highly recommend.

The place looks nice and is clean. Ok so most importantly, the pizza. It was average at best. Crust was dry and doughy like maybe needed to cook longer. Sauce had great flavor with a lil spice. Cheese was a decent blend but there was definitely not extra cheese. It looked much better than it was. I wouldn't go back even though the price was ok.

I ordered my sandwiches and then walked around, taking in the location/store that my hubby had so many memories at. I see there is an area with slots in the connecting room next door. Upon arriving home only to find there was not any Italian dressing on either sandwich or surprisingly in the salad. The sandwiches and salad were dry until we added our own Italian dressing, and the salad is spicy, not refreshing at all. It wasn't until we finished eating that we did a search and found that the family sold the store a while back due to the passing of the original owner. We can say we tried it but will not return. Simply not the same.

Well I took Friday off and made this a bucket list to make a comparison to Old School Manny's deli…read moreand cafeteria. Surprisingly the food for their corned beef deli is delicious in another way. Quality was good it's not as greasy or thick as Manny's corned beef which you'll have a food coma if you ate a whole corned beef or pastrami sandwich over there here the way they make their sandwich is similar to Jason's deli if anybody remembers Jason's deli. Jason's deli was not bad but it wasn't greasy if you're the type that likes greasy salty corned beef if it's done right like Manny's then that's what you should go otherwise if you don't like that feel this might not be a restaurant or cafeteria to eat at. The corned beef in regards to quality their Mile high corned beef was light and delicious it's fresh too just like Manny's but not greasy and heavy. I have seen this on Facebook as well and they're Italian versus being a kosher Jewish and they've been around too but not as old as Manny's since they've been around since 1960 whereas Manny's has been around since 1942 and is as old as my parents. Ambience was very casual and friendly it was my first time I had a dress to the cashier it's not really a cafeteria style but you can still sit down and eat I would most likely come back also because of the prices since Manny's tends to be expensive for their sandwiches. This was expensive too but then again I ordered a chili and a tiramisu I was going to get a potato salad just to find out they had soups. If you're around Franklin Park in like Mom and Pop delis this is another good option and don't want to drive to Chicago for Manny's and an alternative to Jason's deli in oakbrook or in Chicago surprise I did not know the other Jason's deli at the four stars. Being an Italian deli it's going to be a bit more limited to certain kosher dishes so don't expect to have knish or matzo ball soup but they will have chicken noodle soup.

Since my favorite deli in Franklin Park IL closed after 60 years, not really but it was sold and…read morethe new owners are going in a different direction so with empty meat cases the subs must be gone. So I had to find a new Italian deli in the area and this place had an authentic Italian sub on the menu with prosciutto, Genoa salami, capicola, provolone cheese, Italian dressing, lettuce and tomato that I added raw onions, hot giardiniera and mayo. It's a deli/mini mart/gambling machine/cafe with friendly service. The meats were skimpy was my first thought, see my pictures. My first thought after taking the first bite was WOW this Italian hoagie bread was perfect/fresh with that great chew/pull. Even with the skimpy meat the whole combination with me tweaking the sandwich was so fu#king delicious I got a second one to take back to WI for dinner. The area probably has a better Italian deli the residents will tell you but I'm in town once a year so next year I will try another Italian deli until I find one to start a new tradition like my old friend for many years that is no more. My final thought is that the price point is similar to the chain sub restaurants with a high quality sub sandwich and why anyone in the area that goes to a chain with this gem is beyond me because they do an authentic Italian sub very well.

The room is ready for us immediately, however, it took an entire hour for me to get my beverage. We were told that our server had a family emergency so the hostess stepped in. She was very attentive and pleasant. When I finally received my dinner, they served me the plate of shish kebabs with only the beef kebab telling me that they had to put the chicken kebab back on the grill because it was not ready. I think they may have removed the vegetables from the kebab with the undercooked chicken because they tasted funny. I only took a few bites and had the rest of it wrapped up. I got very sick that night. Pretty sure I had a tinge of food poisoning.

Today we ordered a panzerotti , which that was very good and almost worth the $19 . A medium pizza with extra cheese , they are SUPER skimpy on their cheese so we always have to order extra to get a normal amount . This time , not only was our pizza tilted , it had less than a normal amount of cheese !!! So paid for cheese I didn't even get ! Then there was the most disgusting sad cannolis I've ever had . They were soft , tasted frozen , old, and store bought , and that's being nice. Not even kidding the taste is still in our mouths !! We ordered two of them, took one bite each, and threw them away. We did call about our disappointing meal , they credited us the cannolis and verified YES they are frozen . She was going to talk to the manager and get back to us about the pizza . $60 for the food we received was ridiculous . Better off getting the $7.99 special from Dominos instead of dropping crazy money for this food ! BTW ... they never called us !!!
