Burt's Deli

Such a fan of Burt's Deli!This local sandwich spot offers sandwiches by the pound, in addition to various sides and soups.We came here for lunch, and we ordered:+The Yummy - packed to the gills with corned beef, pastrami, cheese, mustard, and horseradish on rye - I requested extra horseradish, since I like it spicy and saucy+a side of cole slaw+a side of potato salad+a side of macaroni saladThe sandwich was so delicious - meaty and spicy, this could actually feed two people, or provide an extra meal. I loved how each slice was thin and layered perfectly!All the sides were really yummy and well-made - everything was creamy, seasoned perfectly, and such great complements to the sandwich.Run by Mr. Ralph (he also has been working at Burt's since he was a kid!), he really makes everyone feel so welcome - he has a great sense of humor, and when he has a minute or two before the next set of patrons come in, he goes around and makes conservation with the diners and checks in to see if everything is okay.There's only a handful of seating inside, so it's first-come, first-serve; you go up at the counter and put in your order, then pay over at the register. Here, you can add other items, such as sides, chips, and/or drinks.Located in the GreenTree Plaza, there's ample parking.+ask for Mr. Ralph!+The Yummy!+delicious sides+limited seating+located in the GreenTree Plaza+ample parking

friendly people with vibrant and contagious good energy. It's like stepping into a time portal. I loved it!

Fantastic corned beef. Truly better than any other deli in the area. Yummy is delish but the corned beef is king (or queen).

I love this authentic deli! There is a little seating area inside. At least 5 or 6 booths. He has delicious salads potato coleslaw etc. it closes at 2;30 . It's owned by Burt He is friendly and cracks jokes numerous . He gave a good portion of meat and pickles . My Corned beef was so perfect My daughter's turkey was delicious too . It has a parking lot so it's easy to park. Not sure if there used to be a public restroom. He has some bakery items and chips .So good

If you're looking for an amazing corn beef and pastrami sandwich look no further than Burt's Deli. A small family-owned deli with quality meats and about 5-6 booths for you to enjoy your sandwich fresh. Ralph and his son make you feel like family when you walk in, making sure you are constantly smiling and throwing out jokes to make you laugh. I love how the pictures show the history of that place. We ordered The Yummy and Reuben sandwich both on rye, and a brisket sandwich on an onion roll. The first bite awakens your tastebuds and leaves you wanting more. The corn beef and pastrami were tender and full of flavor. Ralph said the best way to eat these sandwiches is with some fat on them. The brisket sandwich is hands down my favorite. A well-seasoned beefy sandwich on a soft onion roll. It just tastes like pure beef. No au jus needed. Its heaven between a bun!Burt's Deli is definitely worth the drive! And I will DEFINITELY BE BACK!! Make sure to get there early because they are only open from 9-3pm. Thanks to Ralph and his son for putting a lot of love into these sandwiches! Worth every penny!

Good local spot from a small mom and pop shop. Owner was very friendly and recommended the "yummy". It's def is the best corned beef sandwich in the area. If you're in the area, stop by and try it.

The service was great! Food was also Yummy, pun intended since the Yummy is their most popular item. The owner would interact with everyone who came in giving them a joking hard time. He would tell every first time guest that they were either going to like it or love it. I'm glad that these small businesses delis are still around.

Amazing little gem his at the end of a strip mall. The owner was super nice and personable and allowed tasting of the meat prior to ordering. The inside of the place is clean and has an old school nostalgia to it. Now for the food, we tried the yummy at the recommendation of ten owner and it was amazing. The amount of meat that was piled onto the sandwich makes it a shareable entree. Top it off with some of the most tasty kettle cooked chips and drink and you're in paradise! I'm not sure how we've missed this place for so long. We will definitely be back. Only bummer is the hours are mid morning to around 3 so if you are hoping g to get this in the evening or night you're out of luck. If in the Vernon Hills/Libertyville area definitely stop in. Parking is easy and the location is easily accessible as well. Check it out!

An owner who is friendly and downright hilarious serving a sandwich of his own creation, the Yummy, and a great small deli atmosphere. First time here but definitely not the last. Best deli I've been in since...well, maybe the best I've ever been in. The Yummy is a thick stack of amazing corned beef and pastrami with cheese, mustard and horseradish on rye and served with pickle spears that provide a great side flavor. OMG it is arguably the best sandwich I've ever had. Absolutely incredible. The potato salad was just a little bit sweet and was fantastic. I'm definitely coming back!

Yummy sandwich is still fantastic and very fresh and filling. Ralph still doing what he loves.
