Zaidy's is the most overrated "deli" I've ever tried. The food is Jewish deli style in name only and the bagles are round white bread. Try The Bagel Deli on Hampden for something much, much, better.

Zaidy's Deli
Go for the homemade corned beef hash and eggs, stay for the lox 'n latkes. Zaidy's serves the kind of breakfast that makes you want to move in right across the street from this deli so that you can visit every day — or possibly kidnap one of its cooks and make him live in your closet, cooking potato pancakes for you whenever you demand. As you might expect for a place that attracts such a loyal following, the Zaidy's in Cherry Creek (which we prefer over the downtown spot, for its years of history) has big crowds and service that can sometimes be brusque. But no matter. Whether you're a Member of the Tribe or just a fan of the Tribe's breakfast prowess, Zaidy's has you covered.

Zaidy's gets rave reviews from the locals, but you'd be better off at Denny's or (shudder) The Village Inn. Nasty doesn't begin to describe the food and both locations I've visited have been dirty.
I am from Chicago, and I also happen to be Jewish. Not that either makes me an expert on what a fantastic deli entails, but let me tell you that Zaidy\'s is NOT it. The matzoh soup is either bland or salty, no in-between. The reuben is gross. The bagels were just pieces of round bread. Go to The Bagel on Hampden, regardless of what meal you want to eat...
