Would definitely be back! This was my first time trying Carbondeli’s and it was well worth every penny! I got the 6” Boskydell Bomber and could only eat 1/3 of the sandwich. I’m glad I only got the 6”, it was definitely plenty of food! It was so good I forgot to take photos until after I was done eating 🤭
I can't believe this place is not packed every minute it's open. Delicious sandwich: top shelf toasted bread with fresh ingredients. Absolutely scrumptious. Fresh horseradish, great pickles. I'm not local - just passing through - but if you're in the neighborhood you gotta check this place out.
Ohhh this place!! Inviting as soon as you walk in the doors! You are greeted by all staff, the smell of fresh bread and vegetables will make your mouth water. It was hard to choose but I ended up with a Cajun turkey with all veggies that you wanted a pickle on the side.. ohh Yum!! I ate half when I got home and the other half the next day, still as fresh as when I bought it. If you haven't stopped by you really should! Great great people!!
We had dinner here and everything was absolutely delicious! The shrimp, the bagel with salmon, and the lobster bisque — all perfectly made and full of flavor. You can really feel the love in the food. Highly recommend this place — hope more people discover it. Thank you to the team!
We're from Chicago and my wife said the Reuben was the best shes ever had. I completely agree. Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended! Can't wait to come back and try something else! 5 stars
Brisket sandwich was awesome, French onion soup and regular fries, everythi.g is great, unsweetened ice tea, phenomenal price structure, just fantastic!
We each got the Reuben sandwich and cheese sticks. The sandwiches were AMAZING! And more than enough to fill up this fat guy lol. The cheese sticks were good too. They have a different type of batter that ive never tasted before but definitely a fan! Great customer service as well. Highly recommend!
Um, HELLO!!! If you haven't been here, get here. Put it a now list, put on your bucket list. I had a B.L.T.Egg on toasted/grilled white bread with cucumber, Swiss cheese and Brisket sauce. It did not disappoint First bite,OMG! The son had The Burg well done with lettuce, mayo and provolone melted. He said it was a really good burger. He commented Golf clap and a gold star. Thank you Carbondeli's it was great and we'll be sure to come back.
We love carbondelis! We had a large group of students come here and the staff was so friendly to us. They were quick to make the food and the sandwiches were delicious.
Stopped into Carbondelie's around 10:30 AM and had a fantastic experience. The service was fast, and Susan was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. I ordered the Reuben, and it was perfect—the ingredients were layered so nicely that they covered the entire sandwich evenly, and the taste was awesome. Getting the sandwich with chips and a drink for a reasonable price makes it a great value. It’s a cozy spot with about five tables, and while it wasn't crowded when we arrived, there was a steady, healthy flow of customers. We will definitely be back—I already have my eye on the Boskydell Bomber for next time!
