Sioux City's newest eatery isn't actually new--it's just the newest iteration of a classic! Little Chicago Deli is opening in a new location just a couple doors down from the original restaurant, and they're opening on Friday May 31, 2024, for pickup orders and delivery, with the dining lobby opening later in summer 2024. Here's the info we have so far on Sioux City's new Little Chicago Deli:

History of Little Chicago Deli
Little Chicago Deli has been around Sioux City since 1988 as a locally owned sandwich shop, but unfortunately the previous location closed in 2017. Prior to that, I remember going there in college while I was doing an internship downtown, and I was sad to hear the original closed. But new owners, including some staff from the old Little Chicago Deli, are bringing it back in 2024!
The name pays homage to local legends about Sioux City during Prohibition. For starters, Prohibition was widely ignored in Sioux City, with saloons and bars mostly given a "fine" for serving alcohol but not shut down. Another part of this reputation was that Al Capone's brother lived in northeast Nebraska, and he is rumored to have hung out at the Warrior Hotel and other Sioux City locations on his visits to that brother, knowing Sioux City allowed him to lay low better than his brother's small town where a stranger would be immediately recognized as such. Combined, these tales led to Sioux City earning a nickname of "Little Chicago" during the era between the two World Wars.
Where is Little Chicago Deli?
Little Chicago Deli is located in downtown Sioux City at 413 Nebraska Street, which is a new location for the restaurant. There is metered parking in front of the restaurant, which is free on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays.
