Augustino’s Rock and Roll Deli

Specialties

Augie’s is known for a sub sandwich the size of your forearm. Our Italian beef, roast beef and meatballs are homemade, using family recipes. Our vinegar and oil dressing is a closely guarded family secret, known affectionately as ‘love potion number nine’.

Other family favorites include our New York styled corned beef and Philly steak sandwiches, and half pound Angus burgers. New to the menu — deep fried pickles and green beans as well as an entire Gluten Free section… WHAT? Gluten Free at a Deli? That’s right, we did it!

Having celebrated over 30 years in business we pride ourselves on generous portions using fresh ingredients and made to order items. While other sandwich shops brag about how cheap they can make a sandwich, we concentrate on quality, slicing everything fresh and using meats with no added fillers and water.

As we tell all our customers — we’re NOT fast food… we are good food fast.

History

Established in 1978.

Family owned and operated, Augustino’s began as a small Italian grocery store selling specialty sandwiches off a small deli counter in back to third shift workers and high school kids hungry for a great deal. When we started selling more sandwiches than pasta sauce Jerry, and his parents Augie and Phyllis, decided it was time to change course and opened our first restaurant at it’s present location in Carol Stream.

Having served in the Korean War, booking USO shows and entertainers for the troops, Augie specifically chose the Rock and Roll décor because he saw first hand what music does for the spirit. Many of the first items came from Augie’s personal collection from those years in the service.

The current décor in Carol Stream focuses on Rock and Roll specifically from the Chicagoland area. Everything from Doo Wop to local garage bands to the rock and roll era of the 70’s is represented on the walls in the first dining room.
