Reviews for Schmaltz Delicatessen in Lisle, IL
Very confusing visit. First time at new location. The parking is confusing. I guess it is a maze to accommodate the drive thru.... The staff seemed confused about helping people ordering or handing out mobile orders. Try having a different person for eachjob. We were confused about the price increase on sandwiches we have purchased many times at old location. We were also confusedat how dry the meat was on all of our sandwiches. We are not confused about going back. We won?t. $80 for four sandwiches and aloaf of bread is insane. The pickles were good, so 3 stars for the pickles! Read more
Very good. The knish was great. The bagel was great. The corned beef pastrami sandwich could have been heated more to make the... cheese melt. Overall, excited to try other menu choices during another visit. Read more
Everyone has always been friendly and pleasant... helpful. Sandwiches are a bit pricey. however we always get a 2nd meal because... the Sandwiches are large and Good! Got some soup this visit as well and was delicious Read more
Pricey but what isn't these days. But this place at least kept quality and quantity. The corned beef was very lean and piled. ... high on the roll. Very tasty. The staff was friendly and helpful even though we walked in 15 minutes before closing which wasnot intentional Read more
I went with my partner for lunch. It took forever to get our food. I got two hotdogs and the buns were so hard it actually... hurt my mouth to eat it. My potato salad was very good. My partner only was able to half of his sandwich it didn't tasteright. I asked for a refill on my Pepsi and the kid at the register just ignored me and started talking to the other employeenext to him. When we first started going to Schmaltz it was great the food was always spot on and the service was amazing. They moved down the road and it was like they forgot how to have manners and make good food. I didn't want to ask for a managerbecause the last time they offered to refund my money and I'm not looking for free food. I just wanted to see them succeed. But this was our last time going. For the service we received the last few times and the quality of the food I will goelsewhere. I am sorry maybe they just need to get better staff or something. I will give credit where it deserves, therestaurant is very clean. Read more
May 2022 First time here and it did not disappoint. Delicious to the last bite. We split the #14 Sloppy Paul and a Latkes.
Can't say enough about this Deli. Delicious food and greatly missed. Downtown Chicago had many delis once upon a time. So glad... we made the trip. We also found out they are moving, though not far from this location. Just around the corner on Ogden. Lookslike their own free-standing building. Read more
Phenomenal bagels - just order ahead! First off, these are the best bagels to be found in the west Chicago suburbs, hands down.... Flavor, chewiness, schmear - it's all there. Particular props for a thoroughly coated everything bagel! That said, I highlyrecommend ordering ahead - seems the business has gone through some changes in recent months and in-store efficiency andtimelines truly leaves much to be desired. Hope they're able to get through the growing pains and/or staffing struggles. In themeantime, the wait is worth it! Read more
