I got the Ruben with fries and I have to say, that may have been the best Ruben I've had so far. The fries were perfectly salted and you get a decent amount for a small. Love love love

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (If I could give 10 stars, I would.)
AP Deli on East 75th Street is, without exaggeration, the absolute best corned beef in Chicago.
Every single visit delivers perfection — always fresh, always exceptionally well-seasoned, and always crafted with care. The taste, texture, and temperature are consistently flawless. This is corned beef done the right way — tender, juicy, flavorful, and piled high.
The condiments are always fresh, the pickles have the perfect snap, the peppers bring just the right bite, and the rye bread and onion rolls are top-tier — soft, fresh, and the perfect complement to that incredible meat. Nothing is an afterthought here. Every detail matters, and it shows.
And the service?
Top-line. Top-of-the-charts.
Fast, friendly, professional, and welcoming — they treat you like family while delivering elite-level food.
If you love corned beef — truly love corned beef — this is not optional. This is mandatory. AP DELI da BEST
CORNED BEEF!PERIOD!!!

This was my first time trying A.P. Deli and I wasn't disappointed, the Italian Beef was a respectable size and moderately dipped .The cheeseburger is a great price and size and had fresh vegetables on it . I would say the only downsize was the fries were a little code but that may have been on my dasher . Overall if you're a little lit and hungry and don't want to spend a lot , I thoroughly recommend the creations from A.P Deli I will be trying their corned beef next . 4/5 stars
