People have come to The Onion Roll to get what they canāt get anywhere else around -
authentic, delicious, Jewish deli food made the old-fashioned way.
We know that diners in the Oak Park-River Forest area and beyond want unique experiences created by local, independent businesses that care about quality.
With an ever-growing number of chain restaurants, it can be hard to find a place thatās truly special with the history and consistency to back it up.
Whether youāre sitting down to a leisurely lunch with friends, grabbing a quick breakfast-to-go or catering an event, you deserve a memorable dining experience.
And weāve been sharing that experience with generations of locals and visitors in the Oak Park area since 1954. So you know it must be good!
When you walk in, itās like stepping back in time to an old New York City diner complete with swivel stools, chocolate egg creams, servers who chat, and recipes that have been in the family for years.
Simply put, there arenāt many places like this left. Itās a little slice of delicious history that you can enjoy now.

This place was recommended to me. I needed some where to take my virtual meeting. I was greeting and seating immediately. Itās very clean and cozy in here! The food came quick everything was great! Great atmosphere and hospitality!
My husband and I love New York style bagels. If you know, you know! The Onion is spot on with their fresh from scratch bagels at the cafe/restaurant. We fell in love with their great food, delicious coffee, and outstanding hospitality! Armando, the manager gave us a tour of the entire facility where deep behind the ... cafe you see an amazingly clean area where the female bakers are hard at work preparing the bagels from scratch. If you are ever in the Oak Park area or not, make a special trip to The Onion for a cup of Joe and their delicious New York style bagels! Read More
These are the best bagels in the Midwest!!! Iām from Chicago but have moved to Alaska, and these bagels are SO GOOD that I have my parents overnight ship me these bagels from Illinois to Alaska monthly. They are divine and so, so worth it. As good as any bagel Iāve ever had in NYC! My favorite is the jalepeƱo cheddar. ... Cannot recommend The Onion Roll enough, do yourself a favor and go get yourself some 10/10 bagels. I would rate it higher than 5 stars if I could! Read More

Been here a few times and the food never disappoints! Great coffee and always fresh made food! The bagels are some of the best! We always order the lox when we can. Family from out of town still ask about coming here when they visit. Great employees that are super friendly, will definitely keep coming back here
Love this place!! Best lox sandwich and my eggs were so simple but magical.
Iām stunned that Iāve not written a review for Onion Roll. I appreciate this Oak Park gem! Iāve visited the restaurant for breakfast, no frills, but goodā¦with an extensive menu & specials. I return for the variety of deli sandwiches. I enjoy the North Ave Nosh (corned beef & pastrami), which I ordered today. Friendly ... & pleasant staff. They also offer rewards cards so much sure you get one!!! Read More
Came here with my boyfriend to try out their breakfast. I got the breakfast special with an everything bagel and he got the fresh smoked lox bagel sandwich on a garlic bagel. Both were delicious!!
