If you want a taste of old time Chicago, head to Manny's!\r
\r
Sandwiches, hot plate meals are the order of the day. Get in line and make up your mind quickly as the guys behind the counter are ready to serve. In a good way, you'll get an earful if you don't order the right way! \r

So, I went with a roast beef sandwich that was so filled with roast beef, and stacked so high on the bread that I literally had to use a knife and fork to eat the sandwich!!! Outside of being embarrassed as I struggled with the mighty sandwich, the flavor is awesome.\r

Take your sandwich after you pay and you are surrounded by a bunch of either Loop workers out for lunch(it's worth the small drive) or old timers from around the neighborhood sitting shooting the breeze.\r
\r
There is nothing fancy about this place. You come for the sandwiches, the aura of an old time deli(the place has been around for over 50 years) and the opportunity to take half of that monster sandwich home with you.\r

If you get a chance, head to Manny's. You won't be disappointed, and you will find your way back quicklly and often. I know I do.
