33 Best Delis near Evanston

“Ive been going here for a few months like 3-5 days a week. I'm trying to support a local business instead of a chain.
EDIT:
A new employee made a sandwich incorrectly but I came in the next day and they made it right.“

“Good stuff!! Everything was delicious, with the perfect amount of seasoning and juicy! If you want a solid sandwich come here. I don’t typically like sliced meats but the Reuben was amazing! Serai burger was delicious and juicy too, we will definitely be back!“

“Great Bavarian liverwurst sausage and hunters sausage. First time there this past weekend and will back for sure when I get back to Chicago. Rooftop beer 🍺 and sausage was awesome too!!“

“I always stop when I’m nearby!“

“the food and the atmosphere and experience“

“I’ve been going to Minellis for years, they have the best Italian sausage, and great quality meats in general. Their homemade sauces are amazing! They also have a great Italian sub! Try them you won’t be disappointed 😊“

“The Best Lox Bagel Ever !“

“The chevapi are fantastic! Especially the ones with garlic! When visiting Chicago, we always show up with coolers to accommodate the shopping spree here. This is a family owned and operated establishment and the folks here are always super positive and helpful. Highly recommend!“

“Jesteście Mega! Dziękuje bardzo za super obsługę (w szczególności Patrycja!) i świetną opcję odebrania zakupow na parkingu podczas tego ciężkiego dla nas wszystkich okresu! Jestem bardzo wdzięczna i serducho się cieszy że na stole wielkanocnym będą pyszności z waszego sklepu 🐣🥰“

“I’ve been going here now regularly for a year and it’s such a pleasure to have an authentic Jewish Deli here in Wicker/Bucktown area. Phenomenal bagels/bialy, but I really come back regularly for the Reuben. They take pride in their work and like the sandwiched sky high with fresh incredients. Usually one sandwich and a bag of chips makes it 2 meals for me, and the flavor is delicious.“

“The best goulash and meat products.They do smoke the sausage and salmon here. Steaks are high quality, aged well.

Vegetarian options: Stuffed peppers with rice and vegetables, delicious cabbage,Feta goat cheese .

Parking: They have free parking on the side, and paid parking right by their entrance.“

“friendly service and great food“

“This store has everything you need! Mrs Lalich has a beautiful selection of home made sausages, hams, salamis and everything you miss if you grew up in Europe! She is a great person- to chat with , very sweet and makes you feel a rockstar because she remembers you, your name and your family members! Beautiful store owner with exceptional people skills! Highly recommend you give it a try!“

“This Capri sub is an absolute delight! The bread is crispy on the outside and soft inside—while the layers of Genoa salami, capicola, and mortadella deliver authentic, savory flavor. Fresh provolone, and a bright drizzle of house-made Italian vinaigrette tie everything together. Topped with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, this sandwich hits every note and leaves you craving more“

“If I could I would give Ania and her team 10 stars. She made sure my son Alex and his wife Emily had a perfect wedding. Delicious desserts , fruits , beautiful presentation. Ania goes out of her way , making sure everything is perfect. She also helped us with a delicious food selection for a family luncheon day after the wedding. Thank you , thank you , dziękujemy pani Aniu .“

“Being from NY these bagels are an amazing find. Cream cheeses are delish and the staff is so friendly. Go whenever I visit my daughter. Trying the frozen take home and bake myself bagels and can’t wait!!!“

“I love this store! It makes you feel like you are in Argentina. I’m an argentinian living in Michigan, we don’t have any similar store to get our argentinian essentials, so I was very happy after I find this one when I visited Chicago! The store it’s very complete, I found all the goodies I needed and more! I can’t wait to visit the city again to get more things. 😁 Mario, the owner, seems like a great person, very polite! Me and my husband had an amazing experience 😁“

“Delicious!!“

“Great place for snacks and drinks. A little pricey, but convienent for the area. The cashiers are nice and usually let you off if you have a little less than what you're exposed to have. I usually get a drink and a bag of chips and head back to the park with my friends. Costs 2 to 3.5 if you get chips and a drink.“

“Wish there was one in every neighborhood. Worth it to go there. Great people.“

“delicioso sabor tradicional del pan y el queso crema con cebollin me encantó!! también el que tiene fresa, la atención del personal es buena“

“Simply the best food period. As so many in this area I've been coming to see Anthony and his family for 25 plus years. I'll say this, if anyone ranks rexs lower than 4.8 they shouldn't be allowed back because they're insane and a risk to society. 🙃 My #1 spot in the Chicagoland area for anything Italian food. My personal favorite is the eggplant parm sandwich.“

“Sad that it's further away now! I'm closer to the old Belmont location. The grand opening was great All the samples were delicious, The Staff was wonderful, patient and pleasant refilling all the stations and doing the raffle. I also won a raffle prize! I'll definitely be back and recommending the long list of great products!“

“The whitefish spread is outstanding. Large chunks of fish and not salty like many. Bagels are also fantastic. I went three times in a week.“

“Been coming here since I came to America as a little boy after church with my parents to get all our deli needs. The steak tar tar was the best during the holidays. Unfortunately now as a adult the food is a hit or miss. COVID-19 really hit this place hard I believe but I believe slowly stuff with get better and I'll continue to support my childhood deli“

“Great service and I didn’t have to wait the ladies took care of me right away ❤️👏👏“

“The Polish Deli is a great spot for anyone craving authentic Eastern European flavors and old-world charm. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the comforting aroma of smoked meats, fresh bread, and homemade soups. Their selection of sausages, pierogi, and deli meats is top-notch — everything tastes fresh and made with real care. The smoked kielbasa is especially good, with just the right balance of spice and smoke.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations or help you find something new to try. The store has that warm, community feel that’s becoming harder to find these days. You can tell many regulars come here for both the quality and the personal touch.

Prices are fair for the quality, and the portions are generous. The only small downside is that it can get a little crowded during weekends, but that’s really just a sign of how popular it is.

Overall, the Polish Deli is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates traditional comfort food and genuine hospitality. It’s a little slice of Poland right in the neighborhood, and it never disappoints.“

“I love shopping at the Waukegan Rd Jewel. I have a few favorites that are always so kind, personable, and helpful. I would probably never shop here as much as I do, if Marvin, Griffin, Adam, Tammy, and Debbie were not on shift. They always make my day 😊 love all the specials, and the Jewel app makes it easy. Thank you guys! Keep up the great work.“

“Wonderful Jewish delicatessen specialties! Large portions and the best servers!“
