Reviews for JB's Deli in Chicago, IL
This place is incredible! Reminds me of being in NYC. I had an open face lox sandwich and a mish mosh (everything) bagel &... soup. So fresh & yummy! They have tons of soups, sandwiches, dips, desserts, pastries & the staff was really nice and knew theirstuff. It was hard to pick! I?ll definitely be a returning customer. Read more
I think this may be the only Jewish deli remaining within the city limits. The owner is friendly. The service is friendly and... good. The quality is excellent as it should be at a Jewish deli. There are very, very few places to get a good bagel in Chicagoand this is one of them. The fact that it?s kind of small and kind of hidden makes it all the better. Read more
I don?t like to knock a local business, but both times here left a bad taste in my mouth. Both times I ordered items which cost... SIGNIFICANTLY more than what is posted on their menus. Today my bagel and lox sandwich cost TWICE AS MUCH as listed. When Iinquired about the discrepancy, they offered a tepid response how the menu prices are out of date. This is horrible businesspractice in several ways, and I won?t soon forget it. Read more
The chicken noodle soup is amazing but the matzah ball soup is even better! Always friendly and efficient. Sandwiches are... massive and the breakfast sandwiches are the best in the neighborhood. Read more
The flavors were reminiscent of my childhood days. Excellent pastrami on rye. Pasta salad was incredible. I am fussy about... coleslaw and the carrot salad was a winner, sliced very thinly, juicy and delectable. Read more
One of the last great Jewish delis in Chicago. They have everything you could want, from whitefish salad to hand-cut lox to... sandwiches that'll feed you for three days. Reasonable prices, you're in and out in less than 15 minutes, and the staff isfriendly. Read more
As quintessential as a neighborhood deli can be. Walk in and be greeted with the smell of cured meats, 1950?s music grooving,... and friendly staff chatting. This place feels lived-in like only an established restaurant does. I got the Pastrami Reuben onrye which was fantastic. Their prepared foods look good and there is even a mini drug store if you need to pick something up. Iwill be going back. Read more
I?ve ordered delivery twice and oh my goodness! It?s so good and you get so much!! I appreciate that if there were questions... about my order, or an item was out of stock, they called me. Great customer service! The food though - I love it!! The wraps arehuge and delicious. Their turkey chili is different from other chilis; I can?t put my finger on it, but it?s amazing, with justenough kick. The chicken soup reminded me of my Polish great-grandmother?s cooking. I ordered the potato pancake and meat knishcold, so I could have them as another meal. I heated them up in the air fryer and they were perfect!! The rugelach and cookiesare wonderful. I sent some to my Mom in TN and I think she finished the cookies off before we got off FaceTime (as she openedthe box). I feel comfortable recommending JB?s to everyone, and I will be a regular customer for as long as I?m in Chicago! Read more
