West Suburban Living Magazine recently named Schmaltz Deli as one of the "Top Deli's in the Western Suburbs" and our "Acme" Sandwich graced the cover!!! The article goes on to say: "How do you get to Carnegie . . . Deli? You could fly to New York to eat at the famous Jewish delicatessen. Or you could drive to the 3000 block of Ogden Avenue and enjoy very similar fare and — take that Big Apple — at least equal quality.

It’s how we think about serving you everyday. We don’t want to do anything small. So, What is OVERSTUFFED you ask? It’s our regular sandwich. Yup. It’s kinda like our standard of awesomeness. If you want less meat, gotta ask for half stuffed. Although, Bubbe would never dream of sending you on your way just half stuffed.

How have I never visited this place before today? Decor is no frills but the vibe is warm and inviting. We opted for table service rather than counter service. The staff knew most of the people dining and made sure to call them by name which is something you do not really see any more. We were greeted with a bowl of ... bagel chips that I will literally have dreams about! I started with the Matzah Ball soup and had the Sloppy Paul which was their Reuben and was perfection. The bread is house made the corned beef was perfectly sliced, lean and Melts in your mouth! We ended with the eclair which was light and delicious and perfectly sweetened. the portions are very generous so consider sharing! I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu! Read More

Super helpful staff and great food. They accidentally messed up my order, but immediately fixed it. The bagel variety is good and the quality of the sandwich is great.

First time here and stopped in after seeing all the reviews! The food portion is pretty huge and service was really nice. Coffee is complimentary. So worth it! Would come again to try the other sandwiches
Brad Bergstrom
Ok, amazing corned beef and pastrami. Great sandwiches overall. Love that you can choose "overstuffed" if you want it packed with meat. Really enjoyed. Soup was also really good! Hint on the pickles... they give you a "half sour" pickle by default, but you can ask for a classic dill. It's the deli we've been ... looking for. Read More

They truly went above and beyond. I placed an online order through the website, clicking order online before looking at any indication of holiday hours. I received a text message giving me the time my order would be ready, when I arrived, staff was cleaning and informed me they were closed. I let them know I had an ... online order and after assessing what happened, they apologized for not shutting off online ordering, refunded my order, and gave me a take home to heat up quart of soup (more than what I ordered). I was only expecting the refund of money when learning of the holiday hours, but for them to assess what went wrong and provide a solution is truly wanting to make things right for the customer. The soup was also amazing! Will definitely return! Thank you! Read More

The food is awesome. Great corned beef. The potato pancake with a meal is good too and the apple sauce they must make there. It isn’t cheap that’s for sure but it’s good.
Brad Miller
This place is a must attend gem! Instantly became my favorite restaurant in the SW suburbs. I am so thankful that this exists! I will absolutely be back and will be a regular! Best bagels in town! And delicious pastrami!
Katherine Wood
Delicious! I didn't think I liked Rubens but this was delicious!! I got it toasted (or maybe it is called grilled, like grilled cheese) anyway I did the combo which is half pastrami and half corned beef and it was amazing! I will be coming back soon, we didn't have room for dessert but the desserts look incredible!

Came in for dinner and was greeted by Eleanor, our waitress. She sat us and took our drink order. I wanted to try something different and she made recommendations. Was very pleased with the choice. Ordered a Sloppy Paul and a Lox bagel. Both came looking perfect and were absolutely delicious. Each dish came with a ... very fresh pickle. Added a fresh compliment to the meal. Got some cheesecake to go and it was excellent. Was a bit slow that night so we were able to chat with Eleanor. Her insight into the restaurant and general overall people skills made our visit very enjoyable. Will return. Read More
