We make our own tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, potato, pasta, and corn salads on the premises fresh, daily. Lil Guys: Li'l Guys sandwiches are finger-sized sandwiches made with our homemade meats and fillings sandwiched between our unique Hawaiian rolls. Choose from Turkey, Roast Beef, Corned Beef, Ham, Salami, Tuna Salad, Egg Salad, Chicken Salad, or Roasted Vegetables.
They are just perfect for catering, parties etc. such as for football parties, art gallery openings etc. Li'l Guys are deceivingly larger than they look. Figure about 2-3 per person for parties. Grand Daddys: Grand Daddys are our version of your standard size sandwich, although they're a little bit bigger than your standard size.

I only found this place when I'm walking on the street. I'm a little hungry at the time and it grabbed my attention. As I entered the inside was clean. The staff greeted me with a warmed welcome. At first I didn't know what to order because I didn't know their food. So the staff told me every detail of their dishes. She's nice. I like it. I ordered a Franco Italian Grand Daddy. It has a genoa salami with provolone cheese on french bread with spicy giardiniera, balsamic vinaigrette, lettive, tomato and red onions. I'm amazed at how good it was. I also ordered an American

This is across the street from my son's apartment. He walked over and got us all sandwiches while we were finishing moving the last of his stuff in. I had their Ruben like sandwich. While it was a little pricey, it was good. Everyone seem to enjoy what they got. Very convenient and good, will be back.

Have just recently come across this gem! Freezing weather brought us together as I was looking to cater in some food for my residents at a local luxury rental building. I called Li'l Guys and they said they could have sandwiches to me within the hour. Little did I know that I didn't just get sandwiches, what I got was a culinary delight. My residents and I didn't feel the freezing cold temperatures that plagued the city as our taste buds were overcome with deliciousness!

I've been coming here for over 10 years and even though I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, go out of my way to come back. The lunch special (slice of pizza, salad bar, and drink) can't be beat. One of the best salad bars and they have homemade dressing and extra crunchy homemade croutons. Their bread is fantastic too and makes a great sammy. Highly recommend coming here on a weekend for their specialty rueben. Hands down the best rueben sandwich I've ever had. This is a tried and true neighborhood gem that I hope is around for at least another 10 years!

Li'l Guys used to be automatic high quality, every single time. I've ordered from them for close to ten years, at least a hundred times and I was happy to pay the price because of the superb food. But there's been a problem the last four times in a row with my orders, so I'm done. Order issues: 1) Strangely watery dressing on the salad. 2) Some kind of caustic substance (not kidding; I love hot peppers and this is not what it was) in my mozzarella garlic bread. Literally inedible. 3) Cottage cheese instead of blue cheese in my salad. 4) Both zero garlic in my mozzarella garlic

We've had a few of their sandwiches and various thin crust pizzas. Overall, the food is good but definitely overpriced. I can't find a way to justify $20 for a 16" ultra thin pepperoni pizza. The pizza is good, but there's not much to it. I can't speak to their pan pizza. They do have some upside in that thin crust pizzas only take 25min. The sandwiches we had were also good, but over 50% bread. Definitely better value down the road at chop shop or even Lucia's.
Not a good value for money, and unfortunately that is the prevailing theme after a few visits to this place

Everything here tastes fresh, which is more than you could say about most sandwich restaurants. Everything is sliced to order and the vegetables don't come out of a bag (shout out subway; you know I used to mess with the sweet onion sauce). As long as I've already disparaged one sandwich restaurant, let's put it out there. Hot take coming: everything here is better than down the street at Goddess. They just don't have a patio you can leave a stroller/Lululemon bag on.

Not that great. I paid $11.75 for a corned beef sandwich that was very small. Very little meat and hardly any sauerkraut. The description said that it was homemade bread...it was very hard and hurt my mouth to eat. My girlfriend got a pesto turkey sandwich which was very good in flavor but the bread was either undercooked or extremely soggy. The pesto pasta salad was very good.

This is my go-to spot when I'm picking up dinner to bring to my boyfriend's house. Their salad ingredients are high quality and the portions are generous. We've always been pleased. Typically if I order right before I leave, my order is ready in the 8-10 minutes it takes me to get there. The staff is also really nice and helpful.
I also tried the egg salad twice - once as a li'l guy and once as a full sandwich. It's seriously delicious. I love egg salad in general and their Hawaiian rolls are the perfect match for them - the sweetness is so good with the creaminess of

This sandwich shop puts together 1 of the best and tastiest sandwich I have had in Chicago. I took on the "Porker" and was very pleased indeed. No need to ask "where's the meat" as it all between the french roll with generous portions.
The staff was great, friendly and offered great service. I had saw a few reviews questioning the cleanliness but I found the venue spic and span and very tidy. The only issue I had was the in house eating counter as it was narrow. They share the space with My Pie and they should look to expand.
I will be back for sure! Great sandwich spot

Eff it, 5 stars. I had originally deducted a star for Lil Guy's being a lil expensive (yay for puns!), but I gotta have that tuna. I don't care how much it costs. Since my last review, I have managed to try the chef salad and shrimp and sweet potato soup. Both were excellent, and man, that soup is something special. I will get the pizza one day......
The end.

Known for their Li'l Guys sandwiches, which are mini-sandwiches. Fillings, I think found pretty good, the chicken or egg salad and Roast beef or Turkey breast.
Everything is made from scratch daily and its made to order.
I love the homemade cookies, extra big cookies with mini chocolate chips. Even when its cool, they are soft. Try 10 seconds in the microwave or toast lightly in a toaster oven, even better.
They also serve pizza slices, thin and stuffed. The pizza is from "my pie" Think "my" with the symbol of PI, main location of that pizza place is on Clark.
