I have been coming here for years but have not been back in a while. We recently went there the past couple Saturdays and had an excellent lunch. It is an old-school Delicatessen with all the great options including a tray of pickles on the table, bread and bagel chips. The food is great, the service is great and I love the atmosphere. Make sure to try their daily selection of soups, as on Saturdays, their potato soup is amazing. The only downside to our meal was they currently do not carry red horseradish for the gefilte fish, only the white, so I ordered something else. Please bring the red horseradish back. Will definitely be coming here more frequently.
I tried the Barb’s Bonanza sandwich with corned beef and chopped liver, and it was incredibly flavorful. Their potato pancake was equally fantastic. The Deli has such a charming and cozy atmosphere and is the perfect choice for visit on a cold, rainy, or snowy day.

The best pastrami Reuben I've had in decades! And Kreplach! A WARRIOR'S soup! My friend enjoyed the lox. Everything was delicious! The waiter was very attentive and would not let me eat when the wrong sandwich was brought out, until it had been corrected. The french fries are amazing! I need to keep coming back! Addedum: Here we are five days later! This time I had the regular Reuben, with a Black Cherry soda and of course, Kreplach! A WARRIOR'S soup! 🥪🍒😋
Excellent traditional Jewish deli. Homemade chopped liver of the best quality. Beet soup (Borscht) in season. Great service and friendly staff. Also try the Matzo Ball soup!!!
At first I did not like this place but it has grown me and now I love the matzoh soup with a half sandwich of the tuna salad.
I also like the mash mash soup, the burgers are pretty good. I like the pickles and challah that is served before the meal comes in. Everyone here feels like friends and family.
Pastrami sandwich and a potato pancake! Love the vibe here, classic diner/deli style. The quantity of the meat filling and in general is a lot. Good place to get a quick and heavy brunch or lunch.
This place is one of the fewer restaurants that have parking available for free while you are eating at their restaurant. Excellent choices and variety. Hamburgers, Borscht, brisket, and gravy. Fair prices.
Love, Love, Love, the Bagel!!! Its been quite awhile, many years actually, since I've been here. I'm so glad it survived Covid and hasn't changed. I'm still glad they serve up a bread basket and dill pickles, and I had, had, had, to have the Matzo Ball Soup, still delicious as I remembered. Can they get that Matzo Ball any bigger? Lol... I also had a Reuben piled high w tender Corned Beef, and for dessert excellent Apple Strudel. Now that I'm back in Chicago, I definently won't be a stranger. It was good to see that the restaurant was packed during lunch. A great extensive menu.
Have eaten here a couple of times and see why it is such a favorite place. Generous portions, pleasant staff, large menu, cozy atmosphere, what more could you ask?
Very large menu with lots of delicious options! Highly recommend for a fast and affordable meal that is also great quality.
We'll definitely be back!
