Chicago Pastrami

I love finding small mom and pop operations. Chicago Pastrami is a great place for a delicious sandwich. I enjoyed the Classic Chicago. My friend got the Chicago Cheese Steak. Both were great sandwiches. Really good bread! Clean restaurant. Friendly staff! I was just passing through on a road trip, but will be back if events allow!

Charming small business in front street. A bit pricey, but everything is going up in price these days. I got “The Plant.” Overall it was a good sandwich. I would have liked to have a more even flavor throughout. The cheese was concentrated on the outer edge. Marinara sauce wasn’t evenly distributed and I wouldn’t mind a like bit more sauce. The fried eggplant was consistent throughout!

Quite expensive- Two sandwiches, a side of fries, and two cans of Coke for $40. The quality of the meat, cheese, and other ingredients are one reason. High quality food is expensive. This is definitely high quality food that tastes really good! The side of fries was large enough for three people- very good fries, crispy outside and chewy inside, but the portion is just too big. I love this place but I severely limit how often I come because of the price. The prices largely reflect the portions and the food quality. Large portions, high quality: good for my cravings, bad for my waist and wallet.

Prices have gone up, which is expected in these times of inflation. 20 bucks will get you a thin sandwich and fries. The sad news is that they are cutting back on the amount of pastrami in your sandwich. For the first time ever, my Reuben sandwich had more sauer kraut than pastrami and on top of that, they burnt the pastrami. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
