    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!

    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!

    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.

    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! ;)

It was a small place with only a few tables that was empty at 2 p on a Saturday. The gentleman working was patient while I read the menu. We chose the original chicken Cesar and the KO Philly. The chicken Cesar was amazing. The cutlet was cooked so well and the dressing had great flavor!! The KO Philly's meat was so tender and we really enjoyed trying something new with all the flavors of the KO Philly. Didn't give 5 stars because it was a bit expensive for 2 subs (that don't come with anything) & the KO Philly needed more jalapeños to offset the sweet BBQ (the jalapeños were a great touch!)

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.

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.

The server was very nice and patient while we made our final choices. There was another young man working on other orders at the same time. When it came time to pay, we only had 1 sandwich so they started going through the 3 bags on the counter to find our other sandwich. Well, you guessed it, my order was missing which means someone else also got the wrong order. We only got one of our 2 turkey sandwiches. The other was tuna, not close to turkey. Sandwiches looked good and my husband said his was very good and the bread was really soft and fresh. I hate sub sandwiches with hard, crusty bread. Location was clean, but the music that was blasting reminded me of the car that pulls up next to you at the stoplight with the bass blasting, causing your car to shake and you can't close your windows fast enough.

    Greetings! Just a…read morefollow up review, more like a super check-in... Background: It was our son's birthday, MOST of the time, birthday dinners are home-cooked family affairs...his choice this year: Apolis run! We live forty minutes away, and it's worth the ride every time. Our party of seven lined up, placed our orders, and the kitchen got to work. Entrees and sides prepared perfectly, right down to sauce on the side for the seventh entree. It was a pleasure to meet the owner, Mike G. I had the opportunity to thank him for years of great eating. Furthermore, I noticed the sign of a great leader: When it got busy, he jumped in and helped his amazing staff. He leads by example, and it shows. We all had various forms of rice bowls and pitas. Of special note this visit: The sides! The pork and chicken souvlaki are simply divine. The oven roasted Greek potatoes seems like they're right out of your favorite rah-ra's oven. Full of flavor, and mind-blowing. The rice pudding and baklava, as my SIL said, ..."took a 98 point visit and made it a 100 point visit...". My thanks to Mike G. and the amazing staff for a wonderful meal. It was greater than great, and for a family birthday meal, I wouldn't want anything less. Until next time...tk

The lamb chops are also amazing if you are looking for something a little more traditional, but still easy and accessible on the go. Overall, Apolis is consistently delicious, fresh, and one of those places I keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

Both dishes were awesome. He promised that it would be the best pizza we ever tried and my husband now wants to eat one every day. He's planning on stopping on his way home from work for pizza, it's that good. The salad was well made with the dressing in the side. My uncle is Greek, and I think he'd approve of this salad. We ate outside as it was beautiful evening, but went onsite and it is cute, clean, and welcoming. A great space! We'll be back for more pizza, and to try the gyros, pasta and crepes.

The back has a large parking lot but you have to read the signs. Park in the spots that say 4 hour free parking to be on the safe side. Other than that, we ordered mozzarella sticks, gyro Philly sandwich combo, and pasta arrabiata with gyro meat. To be honest, the mozzarella sticks are not worth $8 because they were too small. However, that gyro meat is one of the best I've ever had. The gyro Philly has beef and lamb gyro. They were perfectly tender and juicy. The French fries are crispy, not soggy, and well seasoned. The pasta was excellent. The food portions were huge. The bueno crepe was also delectable. Big enough to share.

Immediately when I got my order, I could small the deliciousness and truffle right as I was opening it up! I also knew that I wouldn't be able to finish the sandwich in one sitting, but it didn't matter. Haha I took the first bite and all the flavors just hit! I loved everything about it. The mozzarella, truffle pecorino cream, and arugula all went so well together and it was creamy; and then to add the prosciutto for the saltiness. SO GOOD! The bread was more on the crunchy side....still kinda soft but more crunchy. My personal preference is for it to be a little more soft...so it doesn't cut the top of my mouth lol.
