Uptown Deli - Convenience Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A neighborhood deli with very friendly people. You can grocery shop here and get some delicious sandwiches at the back. Got to try the Big Windy, a turkey pesto panini, and their Italian Beef. Both were 10/10. You can taste the high quality ingredients they use. Prices can't be beat and the portion is great as well. I'd do the panini over and over again. Super crunchy and gooey on the inside without being overly greasy. read more

Great Chicago beef sandwiches - plus usual deli fare and chicago style huge sandwiches . Nothing fancy but hits the spot. Recommendation - get half a sandwich - it's very wet and won't survive a day in the fridge read more

Always good service and great sandwiches open late and opens early. Great spot in Uptown

I've lived in the area for a number of years now and kept hearing about this place in the great sandwiches they have. We finally tried it, and they lived up to their reputation sandwiches have a lot of meat on them and the flavored mayo and mustard is very tasty. They give you a lot on a sandwich so there is enough to actually share. read more

Excellent service the lady in the front the cashier was professional and nice ... This is my go to store when I can't make it to the main store ... Thanks ... I moved on the North side ... 5 years now ... read more

Got some good things from this deli. It happens to be located in the Uptown neighborhood obviously. Uptown Deli is more than just a typical corner store. Also has made to order food. The prices aren't that great compared to big grocery stores, but they're not crazy though. A hidden gem if you want to call it. It's pretty basic looking from the outside. The inside also isn't that much to talk about because it looks pretty typical. Back of it is where the difference is at. There's a sandwich counter that has hot dogs, subs, and other stuff. Came in with someone who got a hot dog. They said it was good. I got a bottle of Stoopid Soda which is made with THC, and some pretty cheap hummus. The rest of the store has basic items. Have to say it's pretty good. It's better than a typical convenience store full of overpriced basics and junk. They can make meaty sandwiches or you can get salads. read more

Uptown Deli - Inside - Convenience Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is the real deal! The corner may look a bit shady, but don't let that turn you away! Inside is warm, cozy and clean, and the guy at the front, who is most often the owner himself, is always happy to see you. There is a surprising amount of stuff available (Jeni's ice cream!), nothing too fancy, but it will do if you are in a rush, or if all the other stores are closed. The most incredible find for me is the sandwiches. The deli counter really doesn't look like much, but the meats and the bread are always fresh, and the size is HUGE! Honestly, you will not find larger size sandwiches anywhere else, or a better price. The variety of combos is small, and I have tried then all - everything is good. I order mine with extra scoop of giardiniera. Great for a day at the beach/park, or for lunch at work. Enjoy! read more

I come here for something cheap, fast and good to eat. I think for a $10 footlong sandwich it is really hard to complain for what I am getting. Note that bringing cash is the best and you get a discount for using cash. The service members are extremely friendly. I recommend ordering the sandwich first and browse for snacks and such as it will take some time to make the sandwich and it is getting pretty popular read more

I went here because I saw a video posted online. It's a great neighborhood corner store and deli. They had plenty of items and fresh meats and veggies. The store is actually nicely sized to carry even household items. But, I came here for the sandwiches. I ordered a foot long Aragon with extra meat and this sandwich didn't disappoint. The deli guy was super chill and he asked if I wanted it toasted. The Aragon is Greenridge roast beef, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. All that was missing was hot peppers. That's all on me. The bread was nice and fluffy. It held together all the goodness and it didn't push all the ingredients out after a bite. This sandwich put the chain sandwiches to shame. I have to try the rest of the sandwiches. read more

Best deli ever, feel lucky to live next door. There's always new and interesting products to check out, as well as staples. It feels friendly and safe. They didn't sell sourdough boules, but were kind enough to sell me one from the stock they use to make sandwiches. read more

Fantastic sandwiches at an unbeatable price, and to top it off the workers are class. Highly recommend the Italian beef.

A very welcoming, friendly "bodega" that has an assortment of unique grocery items. They make your sandwich fresh, which I had their corned beef sandwich and it was delicious. Can't wait to return to try other reasonable priced sandwiches. Keep up the good work. Thanks read more

One of the best Rueben's I've ever had. Stuffed full of meat, beautifully toasted. Can't wait to go back again soon.

While visiting my Niece in Chicago, we stopped into the Uptown Deli. I was immediately impressed with how clean the store was and how well supplied the shelves were. She was able to grab a few Vegan items as I ordered my Italian Beef Sammy. The gentleman that was making my sandwich so very kind and attentive to everyone that walked up the deli counter. I was trying to find a bag of regular kettle chips. I only saw flavored ones. The deli gentleman found me a bag and brought it up the the register as I was checking out. When we got back to my Nieces apartment I sat down to enjoy my lunch. WOW, simply delicious! The sub bread was soft but hearty enough to hold my Sammy together. The au jus was so very flavorful. Tons of lean and tender beef. The giardiniera was very tasty and made my lips tingle. If you are in the area, stop by, you will not happy you did . read more

An Uptown Gem! A sandwich shop/convenience store that treats you like family and makes you feel welcome. This place can get very busy throughout the day but Muhammad and Sam do a great job handling it by communicating to each other and keeping the customers happy! Great guys! The sandwiches are seriously good though and very filling. You get your money's worth. They also partner with local bakeries so you can get dessert here too. Highly recommend! read more
