    My wife and I stopped by The Fat Guy Sandwich Shopin Lisle and were seriously impressed! We ordered the Tuna Panini Sub, the Sonny Sub, and an oatmeal cookie -- and everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. The tuna panini was perfectly toasted, the Sonny Sub was packed with flavor, and that oatmeal cookie was the perfect sweet finish. On top of the great food, the customer service was excellent -- friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're in the Lisle area and craving a great sandwich!

    Veggie Panini

    Was looking for something light, and decided to stop by and try the veggie panini. Wow! did not disappoint. Balsamic had a nice sweetness and tomatoes were fresh. So far, best sandwich spot I've found the northern Naperville/Lisle area. I look forward to trying more items off the menu.

    The food was incredible! We came in from Texas and they were so nice. I love sandwiches and these were phenomenal. I think it was the fat guy seasoned oil that made it so good. We will be back!

    Turkey Panini

    Good subs, paninis and more! I was able to order 1/2 a salad. The staff is friendly. The restaurant decor was nice.

    The Sonny (Toasted)

    Wanted to try something new around the arboretum area and found this place. Glad we did since the service was amazing! Plus obviously the food had so much flavor! Ordered the Sonny and let me tell you one of the best sandwiches I've had! Their pesto and bacon additions were an amazing blend, the chicken was very fresh and tender.

Even though the restaurant was extremely busy with Mother's Day weekend and graduation celebrations, the atmosphere still felt warm, inviting and relaxed. The interior has a modern yet cozy feel with beautiful lighting, and the menu offers and an impressive variety of dishes, especially for those looking for a healthier options. Vegans, vegetarian, and gluten-free diners will have no problem finding plenty of delicious choices here. Since the kitchen was packed, our food took about 40 minutes to come out, but everything tasted fresh. 5/5 stars: Huevos Locos- the flavors are bold, rich, and perfectly balanced with every bite somehow better than the last. 5/5 stars:the Figgy Salad- my friend ordered their famous figgy salad, which was gorgeous and delicious. It had the perfect crunch, fresh ingredients, and a great mix of Sweet n Savory flavors that made it really stand out. 5/5 stars: Apple Ricotta Almond Cake- it was soft moist and practically melted in your mouth. Honestly, I tasted far too indulgent to be gluten-free and the best way possible. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely come back. There are still so many things on the menu I want to try next time.

The food is great quality and great ingredients, that's why I like coming here. One of my favorite things to have off the menu is the Billionaire bacon and their avocado toast. There sweet potato fries are another one of my favorites. The ambiance is also nice, definitely a place to relax, wine and dine.

By the time we left tho,the place was packed! Our server Haley was great. They have a fantastic bourbon and whiskey menu as well as craft cocktails. I had their NWB Old Fashion which is made with Buffalo Trace..bonus! It was so good I had to have two.....lol. 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. Portions are huge and the food is very good. We will definitely be back!

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.

    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.

    Our double date crew has a tradition of meeting in Wheaton as the perfect geographic middle ground,…read moreand this time we wanted Greek. Molos did not just deliver, it set a new standard for our little group dinners. We started with the Pikilia tasting plate and built our own trio of spreads. The roasted red pepper hummus was the unanimous table favorite, bold and deeply flavorful. The melitzanosalata was earthy and subtly sweet, a quieter but beautiful complement. The tirokafteri was good on its own but genuinely shone when swirled together with the other two. And the pita. That pita. Pillowy and soft with just enough structure to carry a generous pile of spread without collapsing. Outstanding. The fried zucchini with skordalia was fresh and light tasting despite being fried, a real trick. The potatoes needed a touch more salt to fully wake up but were otherwise solid. The saganaki was a table highlight, lit tableside with a proper OPA moment, gooey and beautifully crisped on top. Think mozzarella stick that went to finishing school. Mains were all exceptional. The filet mignon was wonderfully cooked, the EVO lemon sauce bringing a bright refreshing contrast to the richness of the beef. The pork chops were well charred and seasoned with the same confidence. The chicken ala feta was bright, light, and satisfying all at once. Dessert was a sampler of everything on the menu, all some gorgeous variation of creamy whipped filling, phyllo dough, honey, and nuts. Every single one cohesive and complementary. We tried them all and had no notes. We sat outside on a lovely evening, left with leftovers for days, and paid a price that felt almost unreasonably fair for what we got. Excited to go back and try more of their menu!

The atmosphere is still delightful with little sparkle lights along the windows and plenty of outdoor seating. They've added an Instagram wall ("Ouzo made me do it"). They now have a proper roasted Greek potato on the menu, and a vegetarian moussaka which I'm very excited about. Vegetarian items still not labeled; GF are. For mains, and vegetarians can get the spanakopita; a buttered macaroni with cheese; or combine various tasty dips from the appetizer section. There's also salad which I ignore. The online menu has a few appetizers I didn't see (zucchini with skordalia! Oven-baked lima beans!). Warning, at least where I was sitting: the booths can move (not nailed down) - be careful when you get up. I got the chef's special spanakopita/tiropita and the roasted potato; be very specific when ordering as I was served the special "Molos Greek potato" with garlic yogurt and shredded cheese, which was fine but not what I wanted. The spanakopita and tiropita were tasty, with a good ratio between filo and filling, served on a folded cloth napkin (great idea, even perfect filo-wrapped items can be a bit greasy). Service started a little slow, as there was apparently a big party (they do that and they cater now). It was OK though I'm not sure English was my server's first language. I'll be back for the moussaka, which looks great (someone at the next table ordered it) and will be very precise when ordering my roasted Greek potato. Hopefully with a side of giant lima beans in tomato sauce.
