About Manny’s Deli

Manny’s Deli is a long-established Chicago cafeteria and delicatessen at 1141 South Jefferson Street in the Near West Side. It is a useful stop for the city’s Jewish deli tradition, with counter-service meals, substantial sandwiches, soups, breakfast plates, bakery items, and daily hot specials. The menu includes corned beef, pastrami, brisket, chopped liver, matzo ball soup, kreplach soup, potato-based sides, and the Reuben served on grilled rye with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and dressing. Breakfast brings corned beef hash and eggs, Nova lox with a bagel, challah French toast, and house-made pancakes. For a first visit, order a signature sandwich or a bowl of matzo ball soup, then browse the bakery case for rugelach, mandel bread, black-and-white cookies, or halvah. Manny’s works well for a filling lunch near the South Loop and is also practical for takeaway. The deli publishes separate hours for its location, with Monday closure and shorter Sunday service, so use the current operator information when planning a visit.
