Basil R @ Jerry’s Sandwiches

Jerry’s Sandwiches, Wicker Park, Chicago

I heard some really very mixed reviews about Jerry’s Sandwiches in Wicker Park. I went one day over the summer when I was just hanging around Wicker Park and biking and I quite liked it. I got the sandwich and salad combo with a side of fries. I had the sandwich called “Basil R,” which was roast chicken, peppers, fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato-basil relish. Jerry’s has the biggest sandwich menu I’ve ever seen, plus you can make your own, if you’d like. I didn’t try it, but the girl at the table next to me said they have really great shakes too.

    I have heard the mixed reviews too, but in my experience (4 or 5 times) Jerry’s is always great.

    Ok, that makes me hungry, and it’s too late for me to go downstairs and make something to eat. grrr

    I’ve always had a great experience at Jerry’s. I used to visit them for lunch in their other location in the West Loop all the time and it has never disappointed.

    Sandwich tip: Try the Jorma K (proscuitto, fried eggplant, basil, lemon mayo, plus the usual lettuce tomato onions). Ah-mazing!

    Great blog! I come for the pics of Chicago, my beloved city. (I’m in California now).
