"Despite the slightly confusing name, this westernmost outpost of the East Side Deli mini-chain prioritizes fresh, amply-applied veggies more than most delis. Add a dozen simply-constructed salad choices and field roast hot dogs, and it’s clear why East Side Deli is a favorite among vegetarians and vegans in the Lombard neighborhood. Relax after a stroll through Greenway State Park and eat outside on the covered patio or in the brightly colored indoor dining area on simple metal chairs and stools. Dining in and takeout — including growlers of beer — are available seven days a week until 7 p.m." - Nathan Williams
