Alberto C: Get the Steak & Stilton (sirloin steak, blue cheese and Swiss cheese). They are the British version of an empanada!
Avi Schwab: Chicken, Yooper (beef), or Veg... You really can't go wrong.
Ashland Thomas: Hey, screw you-the portions are half the size they were on Wednesday for the same amt of tix. No thanks.
Elena Jacobs Lopez: The corned beef sandwich is big enough for two, better yet, take it to go w/extra rye bread; pair that with some sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing to make three or four reuben sandwiches!
Phil Bernardi: don't get anything else besides the Corned Beef sandwich. it's one of the most famous sandwiches in the world, so don't miss out!
Explore Chicago: Stop in this coffee shop and deli for a corned beef sandwich lunch! Manny's staff says it's a local favorite.

Serious Eats: Cubano: The ingredients work together beautifully—there's subtly spiced roast pork, two layers of ham, acidic pickle slices, piquant mustard, and Swiss cheese that melts into every crevice.
Will: Guava-Q sandwich is amazing. Try a cortadito as well.
Angela LoCicero: The Cafe con Leche is amazing, a large is $2.52. Much better coffee and so much cheaper than that other coffee place. :)

Time Out Chicago: This place is packed with locals on Fridays for the house specialty of walleye pike. Besides the crispy fish, you’ll get pickled beets, cottage cheese, fries, slaw and raw green onion for $13.95. Read more.
Time Out Chicago: Try the fried chicken dinner from our 100 Best list: Dinner is served only Wednesdays & Fridays, but the limited window is worth hitting for some of the best fried chicken around.
Augie Augustynek: Burgers, fried chicken, fried perch, fried walleye dinners. Large helpings. Great food.
Neal U.: The subs are amazing and frozen foods/foods to go are a+++. Great prices, great food, great people.
Helena: Unreal subs! Yum! American and Italian are my favs!
Erik Rowley: This place is great, old school Italian deli. I opted for the Italian sub (delicious) but next time I’m trying the meatball one, some of the best meatballs I’ve ever had.
