I've only been here once and don't plan to return. On the recommendation of a friend, I got a corned beef, and was surprised to find a big pile of bland-ish corned beef on mushy bread, with a bit of mustard. No veggies and the mustard was a bit flavorless. I think Hyde Park needs a better deli!
Review Source:On a short visit to Hyde Park on 10/25/2012, I walked the neighborhood and stopped in. I ordered a pastrami sandwich on onion bread with sliced onions, cheddar (resembled sun tanned Swiss cheese) and mustard. I have eaten many sandwiches in my lifetime and this is way at the bottom of the scale. The place is not very clean and the menu is confusing (extra cost for onions, peppers, etc. ~ huh?). I live in the SF Bay area with plenty of amazing sandwich joints. But this one makes me wonder why people eat sandwiches at all.
The bread was dry and suspiciously stale (did anyone check the expiration date prior to making my sandwich?). The pastrami that was lukewarm to my palate tasted like day old bacon, was extremely thin and proportionally small. It was also expensive ($8.99). If University of Chicago students do not eat there very much, then our educational system is truly working because they obviously know more than the rest of us that visited there.
I walked across the street to Cornell Park, took one bite and fed the reminder of my sandwich to an awful skinny squirrel with an obvious eating disorder.
What a great place for a quick sandwich for lunch! I ordered online and arrived exactly when I said I'd be there to pick it up. My sandwich was ready and there was no line at all. There is a ton of metered parking right outside. I don't eat red meat, so I got a turkey sandwich on a croissant and it was really delicious! It tasted like high quality meat and I loved the egg/onion mix I added on.
I would recommend this as a quick lunch stop for a good sandwich.
Morry's should change its name to Less-ys.
I used to come here fairly regularly, years ago. Â But I have fewer occasions to visit Hyde Park, so I kind of forgot about Morry's. Â The Morry's of my fond memories is a corner Jewish deli that builds delicious sandwiches with piles of meat and includes a pickle. Mmm, my mouth waters just thinking of it! Plus, it's in the middle of the U of C area, so their menu keeps prices within a student's budget.
I recently stopped here for a bite to eat, and I thought I'd introduce my niece and son--both college kids--to Morry's. NOT what I remembered, although they thought it was "pretty good." I ordered my usual--roast beef on a kaiser--and there was barely any meat on the roll. And it was kind of dry.
Also, Morry's used to be a no-frills, quick in-and-out place. In its present incarnation, it resembles a failing convenience store in an economically stagnant neighborhood. I mean, I'm glad they don't do the whole snobby "This is the U of C area so we have pictures of Kierkegaard on the wall", but this is way at the other end of the spectrum.
The prices are still reasonable, though.
So, I normally eat here and everything and everyone is nothing more than helpful. Â I normally stop in after work and order in person. Â Tonight, I called in my order and when I arrived to pick it up the door was locked (even though their website said that they closed 20 minutes later). Â After a couple of minutes, the doors eventually opened and the staff stated that they didn't have my order. Â Even though I recognized one staff member's voice, they did not offer to make my cold sandwich. Â They just stated that they were closed. Â I feel like the customer service was terrible. Â I will definitely look in the window going forward and see who is working before I decide on if I will dine with Morry's again. I am not impressed and will definitely not brag about how great the place is any more.
Review Source:Looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite after visiting the Museum of Science and Industry, we decided to visit Morry's Deli. Â I decided to go with the triple decker that included turkey, pastrami, cheese, lettuce tomato, and a "special sauce". Â
The sandwich was solid- and I really liked the special sauce it was served with (a little on the sweet side). Â I was also relieved to find that although coleslaw is listed among the ingredients in the sandwich, it was actually served on the side!
I appreciated the fact that there was LOTS of chip and soda options to choose from (I hadn't had a cream soda in ages!).
If you are looking for quick/cheap lunch after the museum, Morry's is just a short walk away.
This place has great pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. Â I usually get both on rye with only mustard. Â While I haven't tried anything else so far, these sandwiches are good enough to warrant a solid four star review. Â I hope to next try some of their breakfast items. Also noteworthy is they now accept credit cards.
Review Source:People in Chicago rave about this little corner deli's corned beef sandwich so I had to try it. Â Tucked away at the corner of 55th and Cornell, this deli blends in with the rest of the mom and pops stores in Hyde Park. Â Do not expect a Corner Bakery/Panera atmosphere when you walk inside. Â This place has an old gritty feel to it, bringing you back to how sit downs were like in blue collar neighborhoods during the 90s. Â While people are sitting down eating lunch, other customers are buying newspapers, cigarettes, and lotto tickets on the side, creating a very vibrant atmosphere. Â The sandwich makers are down to earth and friendly. Â You get to choose between different types of bread (white, whole wheat, rye, sour dough, and one more which slips my mind) and the option of having mustard on your corned beef sandwich. Â Nothing fancy here, but nice and simple does the trick. Â I chose the rye bread with mustard, and the sandwich did not disappoint. Â However at the same time I did not see what was so special about it neither. Â The meat had a hickory smoked savory taste which was delectable and the bread was nice and soft. Â However, I guess this is one instance where the major hype set its curious new customers for slight disappointment.
Review Source:Decent food for being a Hyde Park establishment, but beyond that, nothing impresses me about this place. Â I ordered the pastrami sandwich on rye with thousand island dressing - a pretty small sandwich that will cost you $6 + tax and probably leave you wanting more. Â I thought the pastrami was a bit on the salty side. Â It is thinly sliced meat and warmed up, and the sandwich does not come with too much meat, but probably enough given the small size of the bread.
I like how it is open a bit later than most places in the area, but for the price and taste, I might just opt for Potbelly, which is a block away. Â Service is quick and friendly though, which is nice.
Gotta admit, until only a few months ago I'd thought of this place as just a lottery shop. In my two years in this city, I'd always pass by and see people crowding the lotto counter. But I'm so glad I decided one day to try the sandwiches, because they're really great. Really standard reuben and an awesome pastrami and bologna sub. The potato salad's OK (I prefer German style and never really liked the cold stuff) with any one of them. I still need to try more, but I have to say that it's worth a visit.
Review Source:This is a small deli on 55th street in Hyde Park. I had a grilled chicken sandwich here and it was one of the best I ever had. Â The sandwich I had from here was exceptional considering the time it took to prepare it (It was ready in 5 minutes.). The sandwich and a drink all cost under $7 total. If only this place was open later.......
Review Source:Awesome sandwiches! I ordered the triple decker which is piled high with corn beef, dressed in thousand island sauce on rye bread. I'm not a fan of rye bread but the combo of corn beef with all the fixings made it taste so good that I forgot I hated rye bread! don't judge a book by its cover, just because the interior doesn't seem appealing...the food is sure tasty! I will be back!
Review Source:My husband and I normally head to Z&H when we want to grab sandwiches in Hyde Park, but on New Years Eve they'd closed early so we headed over to Morry's.
What good fortune for us! We might never have stopped in and what a shame that would have been.
Just the best, wet, slathered, moist, drippy Reuben. Maybe that isn't the most appetizing way to describe a sandwich, but for me, it's ideal.
In the future we'll be trading off, and having Morry's more often.
So, this place was remodeled....wait, it was closed for a couple of weeks then opened back up, but I don't know if it was REALLY remodeled. It looks the same to me. I don't know. But, one think I do know is that rueben is still the best I've ever had. And another thing, THEY GIVE FREE POPS WITH SANDWICHES NOW!!!!! OMG, that's so friggin awesome!!!!!
Review Source:Ok, fellow Yelper and Hyde Park neighbor Alana T. convinced me to give Morry's another shot and here is the verdict. Â Went there yesterday evening and got the Pastrami & Corned Beef on Rye. Â This sandwich was as close to perfection as you can get. Â Rye bread moistened with dijon mustard, swiss cheese and onions married with a pile of warm pastrami and corned beef. Â The meat was heaven, cooked EXACTLY the way it should be. Â You know when you are eating something so good and you take bite after bite with plans on throwing the last piece away so as not to feel so guilty? Â Well, the latter didn't happen with this sandwich. Â Morry's doesn't get style points for their interior decor, the place does need remodeleding, but the sandwiches make all cosmetic sins forgivable.
Review Source:I haven't lived in Hyde Park for years but still find excuses to drive down for Morry's every once in a while. The Sky High #5 is probably the best sandwich I've ever had, perfect with a paper bag of greasy fries. They used to stock Diet Rite cans in the cooler but no longer, so they lose a star from me :)
Review Source:Awesome for Fatty Sandwiches that we all love to indulge in, Roast beefs, or Corned beefs on rye. (mmmmmm!) Maybe the price is a bit more, but its chicago and I'm new so I understand (a heart attack is a character builder here). It does a nice job staying open with its old school charm, I have yet to try the breakfast, but I'm sure its really unhealthy.
Morry's is just super cool to go and be a bit naughty when you eat unhealthy.
This is a great old-type neighborhood deli. Somewhat run-down, old sign out in front, always plenty of grizzled old Hyde Park grampas hanging out and BSing over a burger and fries.
Awesome Italian beef sandwiches!
Interesting bit of trivia: The guy who started this business (Morry) is the father of Suze Orman (yes, THAT Suze Orman).
Another great little spot in Hyder !!! If you are in the mood for a home-aid basic sandwich, look no further! I love the Reuben...but you can try any sandwich and like it. They carry Snapple and tons of caned pop as well as have an ATM! Score! Great hangout for old Hyde Park men which is also fun to watch!
