Halsted Street Deli

"My food also took so long I had time to leave this review. I was also the only customer in the store."

"Bought the Avocado sandwich, came with one tiny slice of Avocado. Half of the ingredients that were supposed to come on the sandwich were missing. I decided to come back for a second time. This time it was way before lunch to ensure I get a proper sandwich...nope. Again the sandwich was dry, bacon was supposed to come on this sandwich and it was NOT there..NEVER going back to this place, and the sad part is I work in the same building as the restaurant."

"I wanted the half sandwich/small soup combo, just told the man I didn't want the pop. He then proceeded to charge me for a half sandwich and small soup, and when i questioned him on that (seeing as it was a $1 more than the deal), I said your deal is 8.99 but he said it's correct. I went back to the ordering line and asked if it was more based on the sandwich you get. She said no and then the guy ringing up yelled across to me "SWEETIE I ASKED YOU IF YOU WANTED THE DEAL!". First of all, nobody should ever be yelling at me from across the room. Second, clearly i was confused...I didn't realize that i would be charged $1 more if I didn't take the damn pop. So how about you explain that to me...I didn't want the pop, but I could have just taken it and given it to someone else vs being charged more. MOST places will take $0.30-$0.40 cents off...but whatever. Also, I find it a little unnerving to call all female patrons sweetie. You are not my family, friend, or even an acquaintance."

"Most sandwiches here are available in two sizes: regular or large. I ordered a regular pastrami sandwich for $7 after tax. This is half a sandwich, not a "regular" sandwich. The meat was delicious, but not the bread. The owner needs to revise the signage to be less ambiguous and please use better sandwich bread"

"I ordered the Baja. It's advertised to have Swiss cheese separated by carrots, avocado, sprouts, cucumbers, roasted red peppers, green peppers, onions, shredded lettuce, tomatoes and mayo served on multi-grain bread. It's seriously had dried up lettuce, lots of shredded carrots, one slice of tomato and two slices of cucumbers. No cheese, no sprouts, no avocado, no onions, no bell peppers, NOTHING. I asked the girl behind the counter if she had the sprouts as that's PURELY why I ordered it (I'm pregnant) and she said she had none. Well they should have told me they didn't have half the things they needed for the sandwichin the first place and I would have ordered something else. Didn't even offer me to get something else instead after I got literally a shredded carrot sandwich. Waste of my money!!! NEVER AGAIN!! First and last time I even step foot in there."
