A.P. Deli is a famous corn beef restaurant in Chicago, Illinois. Soon it will be just as famous as the Chicago land Portillo's Restaurants.

History
A.P. Deli was started in 1984 on Chicago's south side at 107th and Michigan as a little corner food and liquor/grocery store that sold corned beef sandwiches on the side. Joe Eddy Battee, one of the owner's three sons, started experimenting with various seasonings and came up with a sandwich that was very flavorful,tender and delicious. People from all over Chicago came to get their Corned Beef Sandwiches. In 1996, with the backing of Aaron Pollard and his sister, Sarah Battee, Kenny and Dave Battee (Sarah's son) took on the venture of expanding the popular corned beef sandwich into separate fast food deli business. Their first A.P. Deli location opened at 75th and Jeffery. Since then they have opened eight other stores. It is considered the best corn beef in Chicago. With the wealth of places serving fried fish, fried chicken, ribs, and hamburgers on the South side, A.P. Deli Chicago's #1 Corned Beef specializes in, well, corned beef. Huge chunks of corned beef are constantly run through a slicer behind the order taker, tempting the customer to sample this specialty.

Reviews
Some reviews from customers who has attended A.P. Deli for something to eat or maybe just snack on. “A.P. Deli has the best corned beef in Chicago. I never had a great tasting corned beef before until I tasted A.P. Deli's. It makes you keep coming back for more. I must say that everything that I have tasted was very good. I have been eating here for many years and I will never stop [eating or stop going]. Anyone that said that they are not good must be crazy. I will rate them a 10 all around the board”.(Insiders 2003) Another review; “AP, at least on Wabash, is take out only with a small ordering area, a serve yourself soda dispenser and a glass refrigerated case with industrial looking packaged desserts. The counter staff, which consisted of a very friendly young lady taking the orders, a sandwich prep guy and a managerial type, of the sandwich stand variety, was all clean, efficient and courteous. That, in conjunction with a spotless sandwich prep area is all one can expect from a takeout place”. The local restaurant Manny’s is the competition of A.P. Deli when it comes to the corn beef sandwiches.
