Augustino’s Rock and Roll Deli

This place is a local institution. Fun atmosphere, better when the seating is fully open.
The deli subs and Italian Beef are excellent. Some of the kitchen food is so, so. But you should be the judge of that.
As I have tried pretty much everything on the menu
Try stick to:
Italian Beef
Italian Sausage
Meatball Sandwich
Italian Sub
American Sub
Homemade Italian Ice
You should be good to go with any of these. The burgers are hit or miss.

Good food but outrageous prices. I ordered the NY style pastrami with chips and a drink it came out to nearly fifteen dollars. It was a good sandwich but the pastrami tastes like thinly sliced hotdogs

I have recently found this place and I am constantly craving their tuna sandwich and Wild Rice soup! The staff are always friendly, the food is outstanding.

I’m a big fan of their Italian sub. I haven’t been let down for many many years. This is a gem of a place in the burbs.

Been going here for 25 years. Love their meaty sandwiches and everything else on rhe menu!

The food that I’ve ordered has been really good. Subs, lasagna, ect. However I recently ordered an eggplant sandwich and it was awful, as if they kept the skin on and barely cooked it. I couldn’t bite a piece off or rip a piece off. The prices aren’t the cheapest so I was upset when I essentially ate a piece of bread with marinara sauce for about $ 8. This ruined it for me, for now. I’ll be back at a later date when my frustration is over.

Like everyone else has said, its a bit expensive. However, I’ve been ordering the same thing since I was a kid and it’s stayed consistently great! American sub for the win!

Pretty good food, nothing special. Ive tried many different sandwiches and the side salads. This place can get very busy at lunch times and is not very cheap for what you get. Service is usually pretty friendly and the décor is on point with the theme.

Large portions and delicious food! Had the Italian beef which was packed and piled high. We told Leslie, an Augustino’s employee, that we were 1^st-​timers and she was so helpful to us. She even came out to our table to see how we were doing. We will be back!

Great service. Awesome menu. I definitely recommend calling in an order ahead of time. I recently tried their Augies pasta salad and I absolutely love it, and sometimes think about it throughout my day. I like the Italian grinder, NYturkey pastrami, pizza, soup, and few others. I need to explore the menu some more. My favorite thing about this place is I can get lunch in the am. I think they open at like 6am

The restaurant set up was pretty cute. It had the 1950s vibe going on and inside were different hams and cheeses. I got a stuffed veggie sub and I thought it was alright. My sub was basically vegetable and Italian dressing. I wasn’t a fan because I found it in flavorful. There wasn’t any pop, such as a tang or a spice. I wasn’t disappointed but I wasn’t amazed either.

I wasn’t at all impressed with anything. The food was just OK and the prices were very expensive because of that. I had ordered the Ruben sandwich, which didn’t even come with any fries or a side like most places would have served. The service was terrible. The people working here weren’t very friendly on the day that we went. The decorations are kind of tacky looking. I also don’t get this place. It seems like it is meant to be a 50’s rock and roll diner, but they were playing seventies music and had various decorations that weren’t consistent with any specific time period.
On the plus side, my wife was happy that they had a reasonable gluten-​free menu. That has the potential to bring us back to give this place a second chance, but we wouldn’t come back otherwise.

Great place and decent prices. Seriously best deli meat ever had, and they do not skimp you on meat. The décor itself is reason enough alone to go. It is a little confusing when you are ordering, but all around a really good experience.

I have been coming here for many years now. The food is still good but restaurant is expensive. I ordered the anti-​pasta salad the other day and asked them to leave four items off and asked for extra artichokes and they charged an extra dollar for this. I know it’s just a dollar but really? Think I will stay away for a while

Over priced, low quality. Bread was stale. No table service. Loud. Definitely won’t be back. Confusing ordering system. No thanks.

Great sandwiches but SO DAMN EXPENSIVE. I don’t understand why a reuben sandwich should cost $ 10. Especially when it isn’t Kat’s Deli like in proportion. Still, the reuben is good. We would always sub pastrami (which seemed to baffle them every single time?) Cheese fries were also top notch. Reminded me of Portillo’s cheese fries (which is pretty much the only thing I like at Portillo’s except the cake shake, but I don’t hate myself enough to eat that anymore).
Also — gotta say — great meatball sandwich. There’s actual meat in there! In ball form, no less.

I’ve always gotten the food to go, so this is a review for that.
I’m a sucker for italian beefs and when I’m home and craving it, I end up going to this place. The first time I wanted an Italian beef, I mistakenly said Italian beef sandwich and gotten a cold cut instead (it was busy during lunch hour and I never bothered to check my order)
Next time, I specifically asked for the Italian Beef — and it was alright. Just the sandwich could be a bit dry. What turned me off is that cheese and hot peppers are extra and I asked for it in all my sandwiches — coming home and opening them, it turned out only one of the 3 had both. One was missing it all and one had only cheese.
For a 5″ sandwich that ran me over $ 6, I expect it to be a bit better. I think I’m gonna get my next fix of italian beef from portillos from now on :)
The service was great, and the bacon potato salad is delish.

So I have been coming here since I was a kid. I’ve always enjoyed it but after tonight’s experience I won’t be back.
My husband and I and our 4 yr old son ordered dinner to go. My son got a cheeseburger kids meal. He started chugging his chocolate milk and then tells me it tastes horrible. I smelled it and it smelled like urine… No joke. I gagged. I looked at the expiration date and it was two days expired. I was furious that my son drank it and could possibly get sick from it!
I went back to augustinos (around 8 pm) and I see the manager and about 5 other employees standing around talking and laughing. So they have time to talk but can’t go through their dairy products to make sure people (especially kids) don’t consume spoiled milk? Real nice.
I got my money back but I’m still upset that something that SHOULD NOT have happened did! I hope after I left they checked the rest of the milk… I mean after their hilarious, oh so important conversation.

We had a taste for a pile high deli sandwiches and we found this place in the burbs. It may not be New York deli style pile high sandwiches, but it’s pretty close and it’s not far from where I live.
They have their own private parking lot so you don’t have to worry about parking.
When you walk in all you have to do is place your order at the deli counter, pay and get a number.
They bring your food to you right at your table.
We ordered the following:
–hot pastrami thinly sliced piled on high on soft rye bread really good. It wasn’t too salty.
–A side of sweet potato fried crispy and sweet. And it was temperature hot fresh.
–turkey club on wheat with a side of cheese fries.
They also have a few flat screen TVs in the dinning area. This place brings you back rock n roll style. Memorabilia all over the place. In the background you can hear 50’s music playing too.
Staff are friendly and they’re pretty quick and cleaning up your table when you’re done.
They have a room that you could even have a private party also they have an outdoor patio which I plan to check it out over the summer.
Overall a nice experience, I’ll come back and maybe try their daily specials or off their menu:)

Augustino’s is a suburban staple. Some of the best sandwiches, deli meats, maxwell polish sausages, and frozen ice in the entire Chicagoland area. The people behind the counter are always smiling and willing to answer any questions you may have about your order.
Be sure to bring back your large plastic cup the next visit! They offer cheap refills if you do.
