If you're craving an authentic Jewish deli experience in the western suburbs, Schmaltz Delicatessen…read morein Lisle is a must-visit. Known for their classic New York-style sandwiches, house-cooked corned beef and pastrami, and traditional deli staples like matzo ball soup, latkes, knishes, and fresh bagels, this place truly delivers the full deli experience. Their bagels are traditional NYC style -- boiled, topped, proofed, and baked fresh daily. My husband and I tried the Asiago cheese, spicy pepperoni, and onion bagels, and they were all delicious. Inside the deli you'll also find a huge selection of freshly baked goods including: * Rugelach * Cherry & Strawberry Carnegie-style creamy cheesecakes * Colossal chocolate eclairs * 5-layer carrot cake & chocolate blackout cake * Classic black & white cookies They make 16 different bagels daily along with pastries, and more. You can also grab house-made soups, their popular egg salad, bagel chips, and other deli favorites to-go. The best Matza-ball soup I have ever had! I ordered the #37 Stuffed Grilled Cheese from their creative sandwich menu -- made with sharp cheddar, Schmacon, mayo, two crispy latkes, all stuffed inside challah bread. Wow. From the moment you walk in, owners Mark and Tonia make you feel like you're visiting friends. You can tell many guests are regulars, and anyone new is welcomed with the same warm smile. Our server Paul was AMAZING and helped guide us through the menu. Schmaltz has earned recognition from Chicago Tribune dining lists and West Suburban Living's "Best of the West 2025." Drive-thru available Private party/event room Seasonal outdoor patio seating They also have a wall of photos from guests who travel near and far to visit, which really shows how special this place has become to the community. If you haven't been here yet, definitely add it to your foodie list.

It is holding the sandwich together. The deli meats are very tasty and they give you a lot of it. Fat Guy sauce is ok. They say their sandwiches are handcrafted, but I received mine in less time than a modern day rap song! And I thought that place in Palos Hills was the originators of "guts". Is Fat Guy emulating them??? At $15 for a medium sandwich, you should be original, sir, unless this is their new 3rd location!

This place surprised us! I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon to grab lunch to go for my fiancée…read moreand myself. 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 stopped for lunch at Boss Dawgz. Hubby had the Chili…read moreBoss and I went with the Chicago Style, a classic. The homemade buns are like none other, so fresh and soft, and the fries...chef's kiss. Boss Dawgs has 30+ creative varieties of hot dogs plus specials and also Italian beef, brats and Polish sausage. Their buns are made daily in house from scratch, as is their chili for chili dogs. They have the best fresh-cut fries, too. I highly recommend a visit if you venture to the Chicago west burbs. The owner William is personable and we loved talking to him. He cares about his food and customers.

The soft bun, although light & fluffy, was too big for the skinny dogs they use. Each hot dog came in a styrofoam container, too big for the size of the actual dog, if they would've asked I would've taken two dogs in each container. As for the franks themselves, they tasted like Ballpark Franks or Hebrew National brand, what a disappointment. Fresh cut fries come with each dog although it is a tiny bag of fries. I really wanted to like this place but it's just mediocre to me. Come give it a try & see for yourself!

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!

I got the NWB burger, and struggled to fit it in my mouth it was so big. The pork belly was unnecessary honestly, and next time, I'd order it and ask for this to not be included. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, and they were some of the best old fashioneds I've had outside of Kentucky along the bourbon trail. My only critique: the music was exclusively bro country. I wish they'd play better music.

Until I actually get to eat what I order, this is my rating. it was a quiet Sunday afternoon. We…read morewalked in and placed our order. 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. I would try this place again, but i would watch the preparation from beginning to placement in your carry-out bag.

Went in to grab a late lunch on Sat the 17th, granted it was obviously after the lunch rush, but…read morethere wasn't a clean table to sit at in the place. We got our food, the guys behind the counter were friendly enough and the food was fine, but I cleared trash from a table myself and wiped it down. We were the only people in the restaurant and the employees just went in the back and started talking about something with the refrigerator. One of them came back out to take his break and eat a sandwich, but in the entire time we were there no other customers came in, the employees stayed in the back, and none of the tables were cleared off. It was kind of gross actually. This place used to be run by a great team, but honestly I can stay home and make myself a sandwich rather than come here again.

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 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.
