Deli Time - Downers Grove

Fast, convienant, straightforward. This place is located inside of a business building and next to a hotel. I visit sometimes for lunch and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is spotless as far as cleanliness. The staff is great! Always friendly and smiling. The food is prepared fresh and very quickly. On this particular visit I ordered the buffalo chicken melt and a small bowl of chili. The chili was pretty spicy and flavorful. The buffalo melt is not bad. Not the best I've ever had but in a pinch for lunch it hits the spot. If you're on the go and nearby I recommend swinging by!

In a pinch- this fills a need w convenience if you're working in this office building. No need to leave the building site. I have stopped her for breakfast yesterday and today. The bacon, egg and cheese bagel was very generously topped w bacon. Staff is very quick and pleasant to speak with. Here is their menu:

Each morning I have the pleasure of walking by Deli Time on my way up to the fourth floor of our shared building. The wafting smells of bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches sometimes convince me to stop in (at least after a few too many at happy hour the night before , as does a forgotten lunch. However, for the most part, I would not voluntarily eat here if not for the utter convenience of it. Not much stands out at Deli Time when it comes to the food. The sandwiches are okay at best. Though the menu changes daily, the entrees all tastes like canned stewed meat. The paninis are decent, but though they too change daily, they may as well be the same thing. The staff of Deli Time is excellent. The cooks are all courteous and deal well with the extensive lines of hungry patrons. Dulce, the wonderful cashier, is reason enough to visit. She knows many people by name and if not, works hard to establish relationships with the patrons (Grasshopper, in particular : .

I had a great experience with quick and tasty snacks from this place. My favorite has to be the cheese, salami, and crackers. The cheese and meat are always fresh, and you get a generous portion for the price. I do wish there was a better balance between the amount of salami and cheese, though. Another highlight is the Rice Crispy Treats—they're absolutely delicious! They have the perfect combination of gooey softness and crunch, making them the best Rice Crispy Treats I've had. I highly recommend trying them, and I’ll definitely be back to explore more menu items!

I work in the building where Deli Time is located, but I've stopped going there altogether. They impose a surcharge for credit card transactions under $5, which is frustrating. If you order a side of potatoes, they give you just four small pieces and charge over $2 for them. If you ask for a little extra, they roll their eyes and inform you it will cost an additional 50 cents for just a couple more pieces! It’s just absurd. The manager seems indifferent to customer concerns, and it’s clear that they intentionally serve less while charging more if you ask for more. They also skimp on sandwiches and omelets, offering very little egg or meat. If you're hungry, I wouldn’t recommend going there; you'll likely leave unsatisfied.
