    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.

    Chicago Classic Italian Beef Sandwich

    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

    Inside

    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.

    The Aragon sandwich
    Drake M.

    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.

They rather stand around and say self-checkout is open. People know about self-checkout, clearly guest will rather go through the regular check out. Those males they have over there in the deli have ruined the quality of the hot or cooked items over there. I've heard a customer request the $1 item and they said there wasn't any more they'd have to cook them, THEN turned and said they wouldn't have time. They stand back there moving so slow it's unbelievable. The one guy with the real thick glasses has a real nasty attitude. Every time a woman asks for something he's speaking under his breath about them. I hear because I stand a wait for another guy to come available because I never want to deal with him and he speaks negatively of the customers because they have request. Personally, I decided to just go to other locations or other stores, if I want something from the deli. The store is clean, but it be so crowded.

A line for grocery store fried chicken? Absolute cinema. People have been recommending I get into fried chicken reviews, and I've resisted as I really don't want to get fat, but this was the perfect storm to start a grocery store fried chicken review journey. I got to the front in the line and felt like a fish out of water. I sheepishly asked the employees, Darius R and Damariea J, what the move was as it was my first time getting fried chicken from here. I thought they'd be annoyed, but they were so helpful and welcoming. "Today is actually wing bucket Friday! A whole bucket is normally $17.99 but today it's $9.99. I can give you some of everything so you can try, but the spicy wings are my favorite." Hell yeah. Darius was the MAN. I took my tissi and wing bucket to the UIC campus for consumption. The tissi was a brick and landed at a 6/10, which currently ranks it 71st out of 94 grocery store birds I've tried, but the fried chicken was INSANE. Darius wasn't lying, the spicy wings were next level. The best grocery store chicken I've ever had. Boomin the Publix fried chicken. Shoutout to the Darius' and Damariea's of the world. Good people.

As always, I am looking for new fantastic restaurants, and stores to try out, and share with: family, friends, and on Yelp. As you walk in it seems like a common corner store, groceries in the front, meat towards the rear. When I walked to the back I had a pretty good hunch this would be a great one. The fresh smell, it was very clean, and the amazing eye catching signage. You could feel like you just walked into in a sweet little store in Mexico. When they handed me the food I ordered I knew was on the right track. When I took my first bites I smiled, and knew, I needed to share this place. I was intrigued by the Pozole Verde sign out front. I had never had it before, so I placed my order for that and zero regrets. It comes out in a quart container with a plastic wrapped foam tray with: chopped onions, cilantro, radish, shredded cabbage, and mexican oregano. I added mostly everything but went easy on the oregano. The chunks of chicken were tender and not overcooked. The hominy and vegetables were just right as well. They have this to a science and it has to be near perfect. Now to the tacos: As you often see in neighborhood grocery stores the chorizo was hanging in back above the meat counter, so a house made chorizo taco was a given. The Al Pastor was reccomend by the one of the butchers, and I had a steak taco to round it, and myself, out. All I can say is that like the pozole everything was superb. Even the salsas.. I wish I knew of this place when I worked and lived in the area. I would definitely have known everyone there by name. I still smile thinking of it, and next time I'm in that hood, I will be there. I look forward to trying out a few more menu items, and picking up some of the fresh meat. So maybe don't slap Grandma... but you should at least pick her up and take her out to lunch here. Enjoy! #AlfieEats
