The Jewish-style deli named for golden chicken fat is not afraid to keep things fatty. Itโ€™s a simple, solid sandwich served with pickles and a side of endearingly irregular housemade bagel chips. The shop moved from Naperville to Lisle, the sole location now serving their regular half stuffed, over stuffed or 15th anniversary edition holdover 15 ounce stuffed corned beef sandwiches.

Hidden Alongside A Suburban Highway

With so many incredible foods in Illinois, itโ€™s hard to imagine why we would seek anything else out than whatโ€™s already in our backyard. But what if I told you that some of the best New York-style deli sandwiches could actually be found in the Land of Lincoln? In fact, customers say the best old-school deli sandwiches in Illinois are located right off the highway in suburban Lisle, about 30 minutes outside Chicago.














Open since 2004, for nearly 20 years the restaurant has been impressing, delighting, and feeding hungry passersby with seating options in the dining room or patio, plus a convenient drive-thru window. Stop by for a classic corned beef with Swiss on marbled ryeโ€ฆor grab a generous triple-decker with chicken salad. Itโ€™s gonna be a yes for me. Even vegans have options here with a bagel covered in carrot lox, vegan cream cheese, and onion.

Any sandwich that comes with a side of juice for dipping is automatically a winner. Of course, classic deli sandwiches of all shapes and styles are celebrated here โ€” including this meat-piled sub. This gorgeous sandwich must be acknowledged. If you love pastrami, roast beef, brisket, corned beef, tuna salad, egg salad, and lots of hefty breads, you are in for a major treat here. As with any legit deli, fresh, crunchy pickles are served on the side.

How about something to get the day started? Breakfast sandwiches featuring all the deli meat favorites are available starting at 7 a.m. So, do you think these are the best old-school deli sandwiches in Illinois? Whatโ€™s your favorite order from Schmaltzโ€™s? Is there another deli spot thatโ€™s a favorite for you? Tell us in the comments!

We live in a time and place with an embarrassment of riches, if you count your bounty in sandwiches as I do. In another tough vote, Schmaltz Deli won big this year with J.P. Graziano, Steingoldโ€™s, Tempesta Market and Jibaritos y Mas all vying for the title. The Jewish-style deli, opened 15 years ago in Naperville by Culinary Institute of America graduate and former Four Seasons chef Howard Bender, is best known for its overstuffed sandwiches.
