We'd been to Chicago Deli in Solon a couple times before with extended family. And each time, we left a bit disappointed. Neither food quality nor service was all that good. We've had it on our list, since we knew it had a small counter. But always made it a low priority. However, not feeling like driving too far on a Saturday at lunch, we decided to give it a try.
The counter here is tiny -- just four seats. Luckily, 2 were open when we arrived. The counter waitress offered us a choice of breakfast or lunch menus -- we took both since we weren't sure. Both were pretty extensive, but we went with breakfast. Cam got a bagel breakfast sandwich with bacon, plus fries, and Ted had a veggie omelet, potatoes and side of cottage cheese. Coffee was really good, in a nice heavy mug too.
Wait staff was really friendly and very attentive, and our food arrived very fast. Everything was hot, fresh and very good. Potatoes crisp as requested - -they got it right where lots of places don't. The breakfast bagel had so much egg and bacon scramble that it was tough for Cam to eat. Only thing a little bit off was the omelet was just a bit overcooked. All around very good though, and much better than we expected.

Cam says: "Great service and food. Average counter and overall exerpeince. I'll give it 7 frying pans."
Ted says: "Really surprising -- did not expect it to be this good based on past experience. Excellent service and really good food. Worth a solid 8 frying pans."
