The Bagel Deli - Chicago

Really wanted to try some ashkenazi food and this place popped up. Really sweet staff and waitress.The food was great and large portions. I got the half soup half sandwich combo with matzo ball soup and pastrami. I liked the toasted bagels and pickles as sides. Would def come back.

Best and largest breakfast platters you'll find! Crazy delicious! Challah French Toast is out of this world, omelets are massive, endless coffee refills- truly a gem spot!

Awesome service. Food was amazing. Owner came out and chatted with us and was a great guy. Overall great place.

Ever since the owner died, things have slipped starting with the food. Corned beef and pastrami both no longer made in house, come from a package and it shows.

I’m not sure what’s going on with this place, it used to be so good many years ago. Went for breakfast on a weekday and was surprised to receive powdered eggs when I ordered scrambled. The kind you get at a cheap hotel’s continental. My friend ordered bacon and it was fried to a crisp. I love a crispy bacon but with such a thin cut, it just crumbled in your hands.Corned beef hash was tasty, French toast was awesome, and the service was prompt. So I guess my feedback is please go back to basics. Your specialties are good but you are lagging on the basics.
