![]() ![]() We had no choice but to choose from the lesser of the messes. There were just a few to choose from, but all of them were dirty. After ordering and getting our fountain drinks, we looked for a table. The only positive to the wait was it gave us plenty of time to figure out what we wanted to eat. There was a line back to the entrance door, about a 15 minute wait time, just to order. We wanted to avoid the lunch crowd, but unfortunately we were smack in the middle of it. The whole family went on a Monday, after 1 p.m. I had heard of Epic Deli for a couple of years, but just never had the opportunity to eat there, until recently. Yes I did end up using a to-go container, it was a lot of food. ![]() I wouldn't go out of my way for this sandwich but if in the area, I'd definitely stop by again. ![]() The corned beef was quite delicious, not on par with the great Jewish delis but certainly a step up from the normal corned beef served most places. It was good but when I want a sandwich with different meats in it, I think I stick with the Jim Shoe. I'm guessing the Gilly must have been off, I really didn't get any chopped Italian sausage that I could detect and the gyro meat was laid on top of the sandwich. I ordered two sandwiches: The Gilly - Italian beef, chopped italian sausage, bacon, hot giardinera, gyro meat, tzatsiki sauce, and mozzarella served on a toasted sub roll Reuben - as I am a sucker for house made corned beef and almost feel obligated to order the corned beef at any place that cooks off their own, dying art sort of thing. The other item to notice is the huge chalk menu board, must be 20+ sandwiches listed. Upon entering the restaurant I noticed to-go containers everywhere, clearly it is norm to take home some of the massive sandwiches put together here. Seeing as Mrs Willie is at a two day seminar this weekend and I hadn't been up McHenry way in quite awhile, I made it my lunch destination for today. They had high praise for a sandwich called the Gilly. Two co-workers were talking at work about Epic Deli in McHenry. ![]()
