This place reminds me of the deli's of my childhood in the 80's. It has that old-school deli smell -- like delicious, fresh sliced pepperoncinis and sweet ham. Not that yucky junk smell like Subway and Publix bread, etc. It's a little hole in the wall place you won't easily find so look for it and drive there. You won't regret it. Absolutely delicious food at modest prices. Do call ahead if you're in a hurry.

Its hard to find a good Italian Beef sandwich or truly authentic chicago dog in the Tampa Metro area, but I think I have found a winner. It's been several months since I had gotten either directly from the source, but Chicago Deli certainly does it's name justice. The restaurant walls are covered with marathon and triathlon medals and awards, and pictures and mementos of Chicago. The food was made quick and was delicious, even the standard deli fare and sandwiches were great.

The ladies that work here are a little cold. I come here sometimes and always try something different in the hopes that I will find something awesome. So far, everything is mediocre. I am sure of a couple of things so far: 1. Don't try the Italian beef sandwich. It is banal and unremarkable 2. Try the Chicago dog. It is pretty good. Stop by this joint if you are in the area and hungry. Don't make a special trip though.

It's a pretty plain shop in an industrial center. Think: white walls, cafe/diner-style tables & chairs, manually set plastic-letter menu boards. The food is good. Prices are very fair. My sandwich was a little small and kinda soggy, but I enjoyed it. They did stumble a bit getting our 3-sandwich order right. Also have tons of posters & signs about races & triathlons on the wall. Kinda random, but I guess that's what they're into. Many of those posters are 10- or 20- yrs old. Probably won't be back. Plenty of other delis in the area and would prefer more variety.

Not the friendliest staff in the world, but the italian beef sandwich was good and the price for lunch was decent. The cons definitely outweigh the pros for this place. PROS: -Convenient eating place for the people working in this business park. -Prices are all under $10. -Food is made to order. CONS: -The place was a bit hard to find at first since they're a small shop in a big business park. -The staff didn't seem authentic from Chicago. There were three ladies, running the place and they had a conversation in some language - russian?czech? AND there were No TVs or WIFI, so the place seemed like a "hurry up and buy and get out" type of place. There were a lot of medals on the wall, (i'm assuming the owner has done a lot of marathons)? T - I came in a bit after 2pm and the place closes at 3... yet you can smell the bleach and cleaning products and they seem like their ready to wrap up for the day. CLEAN AFTER you close your business - RUDE! -Staff wasn't warm to customers. OVERALL, This place breaks the myth that hole-in-the-wall food places are good. Again, food is good, but not AUTHENTIC tasting. so if your looking for the AUTHENTIC CHICAGO flavor... i'd go elsewhere.

Lord are these women SURLY! I mean how mad can you be slingin' hot dogs for a living? The dining room looks like it hasn't been updated since 1991 except for the out of place plethora of triathlon memorabilia. I think the ammonia smell has seeped into the walls, it was very strong and inescapable. Food: They used the wrong type of pickles for the "Chicago dog" and then, with a frown on their face, placed one teensy little sport pepper on the bun. All in all, the place and the service is mediocre at best. Oh, and they have a hairy salt shaker on their menu. wtf.

Just moved our business into the neighborhood so thought I'd try lunch here. Came in about 1:30 and was "greeted" by 3 women who all gave me a look like "what do you want" Kill them with kindness I repeat to myself. I order a chef salad to go. One lady mutters something then walks away. The cashier comes over and asks "anything else" No...rings me up promptly even managing a smile. Another woman comes out with salad says "onion and croutons" (sounds like an order but I think I have a choice) no onion please. Get back to the office not expecting much, The place is small, not spotless by any means but not a dump just a quick place to eat. Salad is impressively decent. Not one of those huge things with more lettuce then a rabbit would eat in a lifetime but nicely topped, no brown lettuce, basic ham, turkey, 2 cheeses, eggs and black olives. For $6.50 a decent enough lunch. Will have to try the chicago sandwich that others speak about after the New years resolution wears off!

Normally this place is pretty fast and decent food, most of all its convenient location. But my recent visit was horrific. Only two people working the lunch rush, one woman was on the phone the entire time, and it took a half hour to get a sub to go. The worst part was the fact that one woman took off her glove to use her phone, then touched everything in the place and then continued to make peoples food. That is not sanitary at all. Very disappointed. Stop being greedy and hire some help! That place is 1970's vintage, I'm sure the business has paid for itself many times over.

Wow, what a great little find. If you're staying at the Marriott, you should walk over to Chicago Deli for a filling and inexpensive breakfast. I had a scrambled egg on a bagel and it was pretty dang good! Especially for the price!

Working at HSN, you notice a sign that says Chicago Deli as you're driving around and wondering if its real. Oh, its real, and the dogs are real, the beef sandwiches are real, the dive-y ambiance is real, etc. And its been there for years - you'd think more people would be talking about it. Don't expect to blown away or anything, but if you want a solid sandwich for cheap, you can't go wrong here. My friend got the dog, and having lived in Chicago, he was hit with a nostalgia bomb of flavor. Thanks to Man VS Food, I've always wanted a Chicago Beef Sandwich. While not official, this is probably the closest thing I can get in Tampa. I just enjoyed slurping up the juice as it ran down my hand - which is really all I wanted. You can get a number of other deli subs here, and the service is nice and friendly, though you get a sense that mostly regulars come here since its easy to miss the sign if you're going northbound. Which means you only catch it going southbound when you already have food. I seriously need to start going more often.

This is probably the best, truly "secret" place I've found in St. Pete. I'd never know it was there if I didn't work near by. So far I've only had the hot dogs but they're awesome. Any classic topping you'd want, perfectly cooked, and inexpensive. Overall, this is one of my favorite places to get out of the office and get a great, affordable lunch.

Very hidden but worth the search. Italian beef sandwich was hot an juicy. Would come back again.
