The Original John's Deli

Located on Stillwell Avenue, the counter serves a variety of hot and cold options beyond its main draw. While the roast beef is typically tender with a flavorful, low-sodium gravy, recent diners report inconsistent sandwich sizes and variable gravy thickness. To ensure enough moisture, regulars advise upgrading to a medium cup of gravy, as the standard small serving is notoriously tiny. For those looking for alternatives, the menu also includes eggplant parm and rice balls.
