If you're looking for an amazing corn beef and pastrami sandwich look no further than Burt's Deli. A small family-owned deli with quality meats and about 5-6 booths for you to enjoy your sandwich fresh. Ralph and his son make you feel like family when you walk in, making sure you are constantly smiling and throwing out jokes to make you laugh. I love how the pictures show the history of that place. We ordered The Yummy and Reuben sandwich both on rye, and a brisket sandwich on an onion roll. The first bite awakens your tastebuds and leaves you wanting more. The corn beef and pastrami were tender and full of flavor. Ralph said the best way to eat these sandwiches is with some fat on them. The brisket sandwich is hands down my favorite. A well-seasoned beefy sandwich on a soft onion roll. It just tastes like pure beef. No au jus needed. Its heaven between a bun! Burt's Deli is definitely worth the drive! And I will DEFINITELY BE BACK!! Make sure to get there early because they are only open from 9-3pm. Thanks to Ralph and his son for putting a lot of love into these sandwiches! Worth every penny!

I love this authentic deli! There is a little seating area inside. At least 5 or 6 booths. He has delicious salads potato coleslaw etc. it closes at 2;30 . It's owned by Burt He is friendly and cracks jokes numerous . He gave a good portion of meat and pickles . My Corned beef was so perfect My daughter's turkey was delicious too . It has a parking lot so it's easy to park. Not sure if there used to be a public restroom. He has some bakery items and chips . So good

OMG - I finally made it over to Burt's about 2:15pm today. I had tried a couple times before but, as I found out today, they close at 2:30, not 3pm as indicated here and other places online. I had a brief conversation with the friendly counter man. He asked me where I am from - which is originally Rogers Park in Chicago, but Highland Park for the last 35 years. He told me that being from rogers Park, I would love my corned beef on rye and .... was he ever right! I was transported back to 1970 with the first bite. I will definitely be back.

Bert's a hoot and yes, the Sammie's are UNREAL. Unquestionably the best corned beef/pastrami outside of NYC

Small place closes early the meat is quality! Get the Yummy sandwich worth every penny

The service was so awesome! The lady at the cash register wasn't very personable, but the guy making the sandwich was awesome!!! The deli has an old vibe inside, but it's clean!

Amazing little gem his at the end of a strip mall. The owner was super nice and personable and allowed tasting of the meat prior to ordering. The inside of the place is clean and has an old school nostalgia to it. Now for the food, we tried the yummy at the recommendation of ten owner and it was amazing. The amount of meat that was piled onto the sandwich makes it a shareable entree. Top it off with some of the most tasty kettle cooked chips and drink and you're in paradise! I'm not sure how we've missed this place for so long. We will definitely be back. Only bummer is the hours are mid morning to around 3 so if you are hoping g to get this in the evening or night you're out of luck. If in the Vernon Hills/Libertyville area definitely stop in. Parking is easy and the location is easily accessible as well. Check it out!

An owner who is friendly and downright hilarious serving a sandwich of his own creation, the Yummy, and a great small deli atmosphere. First time here but definitely not the last. Best deli I've been in since...well, maybe the best I've ever been in. The Yummy is a thick stack of amazing corned beef and pastrami with cheese, mustard and horseradish on rye and served with pickle spears that provide a great side flavor. OMG it is arguably the best sandwich I've ever had. Absolutely incredible. The potato salad was just a little bit sweet and was fantastic. I'm definitely coming back!
