This restaurant is huge. There is also a bakery-candy shop attached. The food was great. Lots of different options. They also have breakfast during the weekends. They have Pepsi products. Diet Pepsi and Pepsi zero. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back oh and their challah bread looked delicious.
The deli meats are so delicious, the potato pancake as well. The Reuben is a must try and it's a great spot to eat old school traditional delicatessen. Highly recommend to eat the reuben with the thousand islands dressing, and lots of mustard.
Great five star corned beef and pastrami meat sandwiches. Same level or slightly better than NYC Katz or 2nd Ave Deli. Meat is not salty - THANK YOU. Only short fall, Swiss cheese quality below standard. Suggest using Swiss emmental cheese for Reubens. AND also using less sugar in the coleslaw
It’s a Chicago institution. You must go once in your life. The sandwich is HUGE. Next time I’ll do 1/2 sandwich and the Matzah ball soup. We had a fun time. It’s not cheap, but worth it.
First I have to say the food was good. The meatball soup was delicious. The meatball itself was cooked perfectly to the point the spoon cut into it like butter. I also picked up the corn beef and pastrami sandwich on Rye bread. Good amount of meat and not to dry. But I really didn't find the taste mind-blowing or a must-have sandwich when you come to Chicago. It was just a good sandwich. The staff was friendly and very commutative. Really, the only reason it lost a star was because of the price. I payed $32 with drink! For cafeteria good! I don't know if I'll come back. The place seems like it's overhyped.
Excellent place. I particularly liked the matzah ball soup. The brisket sandwich was good too. The place has parking around back, if you can't find a street spot. I also liked the vintage claw machine game; that isn't something you see often. This place isn't cheap, but it's worth it.

Manny's was absolutely incredible! We went before 2 pm on Sunday and were able to order from their breakfast and normal lunch menu!
- The challah french toast was heavenly. Can't wait to try the babka french toast.
-We did the half sandwich/half soup: the pastrami was very tender & delicious. The bread was soft, not dry, and did not fall apart. Katz's is famous, but everyone knows their bread is terrible, so Manny's wins here for the perfect pastrami sandwich.
-The potato pancake was the best I ever had, a thick cakey-ness but not too dense. And yum!
- I tried the Kishke (sausage of matzo with beef broth) with gravy and WOW! It was so cozy, homey, and delicious.
- The sweet and sour cabbage soup was delightful (I would prefer it a bit more tart but very cozy/soothing).
- The only knock was that the pastries were lacking: black & white was hard/not good, Boston cream was fine, cheesecake I didn't enjoy, and Rugalach was decent. BUT the otherwise experience was perfect and the food made me so happy I still give this place 5/5.
- And of course, wonderful service!
I love me a Jewish deli & and cafeteria, and people who complain about the price have not frequented at many and do not understand the price of quality meats/kosher food/comfort soul food. This place truly fed my soul!
Iconic and so good. My 3 year old is a very picky eater when it comes to meat and he loved the pastrami!
Thinking if I should give it a 4 or 5. The place deserves a 5 if I consider places to eat in Chicago as it definitely is one of the best restaurants and the best deli in Chicago. But if I consider only the top delis, having been to all three Katz's (NY - East coast), Langer's (LA - West coast) and Manny's (Chicago - Midwest), I rate it below Katz's (New York) so may be a 4. Eventually I decided to give it a 5 since it's above Langers (LA), sorry LA, you guys are third on the list.
Favorite restaurant. Manny’s has a great nostalgic feel and the food is no nonsense good. I’m definitely going back next time I visit.
