The soup and sandwiches we got were a delight. The Big Tony was the star of the show for us. We also got the Italian beef, which was very spicy. They warned us about the spice level and it exceeded spice expectations. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. We got it to go as we walked over from the train station during a layover. If you found this review helpful, please give a ?

New fav tbh! Decent (meaning, very good) deli in downtown. Friendly staff, super affordable, and quick + good options. It was worth skipping the Union Station food court. Short walk too.

Turkey wrap with bacon was basically shredded lettuce on a stale tortilla. They forgot the bacon entirely, two thin slices of tomato, thinner slices of turkey. Almost $12 wasted. I was told by my colleagues not to go there but didn't listen. Not worth the convenience.

Very friendly staff, clean deli.Veggie sandwich was ok but I would not eat it again. It had canned mushrooms which had a certain smell to them, not sure if it thats normal for canned but it ruined the sandwich. Maybe instead use fresh mushroom.

The chicken wrap was so dry it literally got caught in my throat! The worst sandwich I've ever eaten in my entire life, if I hadn't walked all the way back to work I would have turned right back around and gotten my money back. Absolutely horrible worst $11 I've ever spent.

Wow - catered lunches were amazing!! Great variety and everything was made fresh!! From taco bar to pasta to veggie kabobs! The desserts were great too - especially the baklava and made from scratch cookies.We recently had @Erik's cater breakfasts and lunches for meeting sessions in the building where thr Deli is located and will do so again.

The place is very cute and clean and the staff was very friendly, quick and pleasant. Overall positive and the food did taste good; however, the portions are so so so small and not worth the price. $10 Sandwich had the smallest pieces of tomato, toppings, bread, etc. when they handed me the Sandwhich wrapped I legit though it was only half a Sandwhich because of the size- so even though it tasted good I felt you should get more for your money and all the chips on the chip rack were all squished/smashed for some reason. Better off getting something from a corner deli which generally have way better portions- BUT again it did taste good and the staff were nice, etc.

Average deli. Simple menu. Decent service. Overpriced. Two beverages and two sandwiches for $30, but maybe that's just the cost in downtown Chicago.

Almost missed this place while walking to the old post office. Decided to stop here and save myself some $$. Great food! Great prices! My wrap was $9.99, which would have easily been $13.99 at the old post office.... If you could even find something like it. Hardly any line at 12:15. I had the Buffalo chicken wrap, and it was spicy and delicious! The chicken was WARM which was a pleasant surprise. Also tried one of these Nitro Pepsi things, as I hadn't had one before. Super tasty! Will def come back!

Had the worst “chorizo” tacos today.Microwaved old eggs with bacon and chipotle sauce which tasted just like spoiled pork. Never coming back especially with all the flies in the food station.

The positive - staff was nice. The negative. This is a picture of my turkey club wrap. There’s barely any turkey. If you look closely, you can see it…
