A trip to The Onion Roll is like going back in time. It feels, justifiably, like a hole-in-the-wall, which makes you feel like you made a great discovery but it's been here all along. With Lincolnwood-based New York Bagel and Bialys in stock as well as standard deli fare like coleslaw, sandwiches and cold salads, the deli section of The Onion Roll is a great place to stock up for a weekend brunch.
The restaurant offers kosher-style (though not actually kosher) dishes not commonly found in the Oak Park area: lox plates, blintzes, omelettes, melts, matzo ball soup and so on.
