In Short
Posters of '50s-era musicals decorate this Lakeview favorite, inspiring nostalgia in the mostly senior crowd. The huge menu starts with classic noshes like pickled whitefish, chicken salad and chopped liver. Kreplachs and matzo balls are major-league, stretching to the edge of soup bowls filled with salty broth. Sandwiches come open-face, grilled or stacked, with sliced-to-order meats. Entrees include liver and onions and roast chicken. Intensely sweet chocolate banana torte is a don't-miss dessert.

I am very pleased to have a Jewish deli in my neighborhood, but please folks, improve the food and I'll be there all the time! My main complaint is whitefish salad, way way too much mayonnaise. The whitefish should be in chunks, lightly covered with mayo, so you can actually taste the fish. Anywhere else in Chicago to get it without making it myself? Meat filled blintzes are good, not great. The filling is a bit too dry. Add some broth to the filling when you make it! The apple strudel is wonderful -- lots of apple, great texture, a keeper!!!

When visiting Chicago from San Diego, I was lucky enough to have my friend, and business colleague, William, take me to his favorite deli. I ordered the Salmon Salad Sandwich and asked the best bread to eat it on. The owner suggested Halla bread. I was so pleasantly surprised - this was the most amazing sandwich that I've ever eaten. There was not a lot of "filling" or mayo, mostly fresh salmon, and it was such an experience. I even told the manager that he had to open a shop in San Diego, to which he replied, " I can send you the Salmon Salad on dry ice."!! OMG. They are friendly, family oriented and the food kept me going back for the three weeks I was there. The best food ever from a deli.

i am sure some people may be fooled but this southern boy was not. I was convinced to order the southern fried chicken after listening to the manager go on and on about the best ever southern fried chicken fresh never frozen and just finished cooking. Upon arrival the 1/2 chicken looked good, in fact there was nothing wrong with the chicken, except it was not fried . the skin was not even crisp. i would dare to say this chicen was made with shake and bake, maybe the southern style. a huge disappointment and false advertisement. next time i will ask him a question or two such as ,what type of oil is the chicken fried in? is there a cast iron skillet involved? what makes this chicken southern? hmm. i wonder.
