"It was intimidating to walk into so many options, and the guys behind the counter didn't look like they wanted to be there, but the ladies at checkout were kind of helpful! We tried a reuben, a turkey pastrami, barley and mushroom soup and a beef knish, and it was all delicious! We had leftovers and loved trying some new-to-us foods. I can't recommend the beef knish enough!!"

"What can you say, Manny's legendary. If you spend the weekend in Chicago and you don't come to Manny's, you missed out! The staff is incredible and make will you feel like you've been coming there forever Everything there is delicious, order lots take some back to your hotel for later. Don't forget to get a piece of dessert for the way for home. Manny's is more than just a restaurant, it's good for the soul."

"it was really crowded, understandable so close to Christmas, so service was a bit slow, not quite as friendly as we'd expected. But food was sure worth the wait! They have a fantastic reputation for corned beef for good reason! Huge portion, terrific flavor and the price was good for such a good size. I also had some chili, really beefy, not too spicy, not too mild, really tasty, perfect for a cold day. For sure will return after the holidays when it's calmed a bit"
