“This place always has good food. Yet, it's empty a lot when I go. The staff is very nice! I must say the tuna fish is really good. Better than most places. I wish they never left old orchard but they're still close by. Plenty of parking.“
“The reviews here I am reading at this establishment are shocking. I just went in and grabbed a Turkey Tom done exactly the way JJ has been preparing them for me for the last 5 years at OTHER locations (downtown Chicago). First visit there, and glad I did not drive there, considering the possiblity of getting your car booted.Crazy. Never heard of this before while eating at a sandwich joint. I had my E-bike and locked it in front. No problems at all. The only thing strange was the staff were not at all friendly. I was the only one in the place upon arrival. Not a thank you sir or a hello before/after ordering. No biggie. Not there to make friends! Cheers to JJ!“
“What can only be described as awesome JTs delivers the best flavor for the buck. Eaten the pork tenderloin sandwich, beans and greens melt, coney fries and now the JT burger. None disappointed, and the simple fry sauce is burger-dippable. Buns and bread are toasted to perfection nice and soft so they’re super fresh. The owner Chris is warm and inviting and lives literally down the block. Should be at minimum a weekend destination joint and what’s more could be a place 2 or 3 days a week. I’m going to work all through menu; it’s great!“
“I have had several delicious sandwiches from Delishka but last week I ordered a vanilla raspberries cake for a birthday and chose one from their cake catalog. The cake looked gorgeouse exactly like the picture in the catalog with a personalized note. It tasted delicious not too sweet and very moist.I do recommend their sweets along with their sandwiches.“
“We had dinner delivered tonight. It came fast and it was hot. We ordered a Cuban sandwich, turkey with bacon, a horseshoe sandwich, Mac and cheese and a kids Dino grilled cheese with the best french fries! We totally recommend TriBecca's Sandwich Shop and give it a 10 plus!“
“Beth M was the most gracious, attentive and thoughtful employee. From the greeting to the final check, she was professional, kind AF, didn’t miss a beat and lemme talk about thorough. She made every customer feel like they were the only customer! That chica deserves a shoutout!Food and bevs - YUMMMMMMM AND vegetarian friendly“
“Panes is my favorite sandwich place in Chicago! Their sandwiches are delicious and reasonably priced, and they bake their own bread fresh that is also available for purchase. Their soup is quite good, and they have a variety of dessert options. I recommend calling about 20 minutes ahead to save time on pickup orders, although I also enjoy walking in to eat there, with natural light and fun art on the walls. I usually order the Super Panes, although the Todo Italiano is also a favorite!“
“Amazing local deli with terrific, fresh ingredients. Lots of hard to find bottles of liquor and wine are available for purchase while as well (which I enjoy browsing while I wait for my sandwiches).Complimentary coffee is often available while you dine in, which has helped me many a morning. If you’re lucky, and come early enough on Sunday, they occasionally provide a complimentary Italian cookie for your coffee as well.Have only had the best meals, beer, wine and experiences from this location.“
“Sissy's is by far my favorite brunch place in the area. The food is just incredible every time. Tamales, empanadas, chilaquiles, sandwiches, chicken tortilla soup, aborrajados, all stellar. And the barista who is there on weekends makes a mean cappuccino too. Service is always great, music is always great, and I seriously can not emphasize enough how much I LOVE this restaurant.“
“All the time we stopped by and shopped here, we were not disappointed, and it's been quite a few times. My family like this place every time they stop by. Their barbecue duck and pork are always fresh, and their vietnamese sandwiches are some of the best one on the area.“
“Overall Thoughts: I love this chain; their sandwiches are so delicious and some of the best subs I’ve ever had. The ingredients are fresh and the bread is soft and top-tier. The value is incredible with massive, filling portions for a very reasonable price. The menu is packed with creative options for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I’ve also gotten food from their Wicker Park location on the TooGoodToGo app, which has always been solid! The staff at both locations are friendly, and though I’ve never sat and dined at either location before, the interiors have a good amount of seating and chill vibes.Food I tried:- Magic Mushroom (Teriyaki Shrooms) with Wheat Bread (4.6/5): This sandwich was delicious! It paired well with the wheat bread, which was denser but soft and moist, especially when soaking up the teriyaki sauce. It was packed generously with veggies, which gave it diverse textures, and the teriyaki sauce added a sweet, umami flavor.- The Kind (Turkey, Bacon, Shrooms) with Garlic Bread (4.5/5): This sandwich tasted really good too; the house dressing tasted light and delicious. The bread is soft and the light turkey flavors paired well with the bacon and other lighter veggie flavors.- Chocolate Krispy Bar (4.2/5): This came in one of my TooGoodtoGo bags; it was good— very crispy and gooey, but wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to order it.- Mystery TooGoodtoGo Sandwiches (4.5/5): All the mystery sandwiches I’ve gotten from here on the TooGoodtoGo app have been delicious, leading me to conclude that you can’t really go wrong with any sandwich from here— they will all hit!—Price (relative to peers): 4.4/5Food: 4.5/5Ambience: 4.6/5Overall Value: 4.6/5“
“I just discovered Rosie's and it has quickly become my absolute favorite sandwich shop in Chicago! Everything is top-notch but the bread by far and away makes the sandwiches stand out above so many other spots. Italian, 3 P's, meatball, you name it. Best!!“
“I ordered a tuna sub. It was good but I wanted just a little more taste. Oil and vinegar would have been perfect but it was not offered. The lady working was 5 stars. She was personable, friendly, and fast. I would give them another visit for sure if I get back to that area.“
“Went to this location I got to say the best one so far by far there was this wonderful lady who was so Polite, professional, and courtesy. I believe she was manger named geneva if I recall right the sandwhich are already amazing but when they make it with extra love taste even “
“The entire crew at the Peterson location is the best in the city! Special shout out to Jason for his exceptional customer service and for going over and beyond to fix my order from another store. I would definitely recommend this location and is set as my preferred location!“
“the sandwiches are fresh, made to order and delicious. the men, they are so nice, I inquired they are of Yemen descent living the american dream of being Small Business Owners. they are in hollywood house, a senior living residence I believe, and how they are so helpful to the elderly who they serve is simply amazing.“
“For bagel sandwiches this place is best! I always go for the breakfast sandwiches but have enjoyed some of their lunch sandwiches too. My favorites are the dude, the breakfast bagel with scrambled eggs, the Denver and the puck and I always add chipotle mayo. It's worth it to order ahead online and if you're a cold brew fan they have some of the best!“
“I biked from Rodgers Park just to get my favorite sandwich, the Balboa. I love this place and the owner is super friendly. Service is fast and the taste is some of the best in the city. I always pick up a bottle of their secret sauce when I am here too it goes great on everything. Try the new lentil soup ?“
“First and foremost, the staff of any restaurant are the ones that truly keep an establishment running and thriving and are the heart and representation of the business.The hostess / order-taker and crew at Stacked and Folded, were super friendly to us and offered such great customer service!The atmosphere inside is very nice and offers an elevated casyal food experience.Even though the average taco is around $6.50, it is very large and offers a lot of the actual ingredients. This was the case with my short rib taco. The short rib taco did offer a little bit of that spicy hot but not too much which was good, and yes, was slightly sweet in the sauce as advertised. Overall, the flavor combination was very good and would rate it a 3.9 out of 5. It was just tender and juicy enough, but could even be a little bit more tender in the meat. I know it is not easy when it comes to short ribs and believe me they did a good job here! It is worth getting!We had also ordered the short rib sandwich, but I recommend to have the short rib in the taco form. It just taste even better with the corn tortillas!The sweet potato fries are a five out of five star! Some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. They are cooked perfection, and have that right texture on the outside and perfect on the inside. Amazing.Now as a cook, my (James’) critique is focused on the shrimp taco. Like every other item, Katherine and I had, the shrimp taco is made in a very fresh and flavorful, non-greasy and healthy tasting manner.What observations and what can be worked on from the creators of the menu is the following:The shrimp in your shrimp tacos-at least when we visited—was just plain cooked shrimp and was actually dry. My advice based on the best shrimp tacos I have ever encountered or made are taking thawed raw shrimp, then marinate them of course, and grill them briefly and just right so that they come out juicy and tender and with that amazing flavor profile.That would make your shrimp tacos a five out of five.“
“Great place way better the Mr sub down the street. My first time here the lady was very nice place was super clean. Subs are the best in town great price as well. Lots of parking that's a plus but it's a good place to check out. I'll be coming bk“
“Place is clean, food is good, prices are reasonable, and the service is great and the ppl are friendly. What more could you ask for? Only thing is, i dont know if the famous italian beef sandwich is so great. Seems to me to just be a hot beef sandwich. Dont get me wrong. It was very good. But nothing a regular person who can cook a roast couldnt pull off. I did expect something extraordinary when i tried chicagos famous italian beef. Maybe a signature dipping sauce or house spices, or something that is a house “secret”. So i rate it high for quality and restaurant experience, given that the staff here are awesome, but i dunno that its that origional. BUT, they do know how to cook beef, ill give em that. And as a french fry lover, they have great fries!“
“I was in the area and googled sub sandwiches. This is a small hole in the wall but friendly and good food from what I had. The menu was on what looked like a chalkboard, I did not see a veggie sub on menu, so I asked the nice gentleman if they had veggie subs, he said I can make you one and do you want cheese on it? I said yes, lots of choice of veggies for the sub, lettuce tomato onions pickles jalapenos and more I cannot recall. My sub was delicious! I had it on white bread because I forgot to ask if they had wheat bread and he already started making my sub. It was very good....I did not get a drink but they had all sorts of soda including Diet Rite and RC and a bunch of others. I will go back again when in area“
“The food was great and the customer service was great. We came in a little late and they welcomed us in. We even got to taste a new addition to their menu for free over all great place (the garlic fry’s was the new thing. You know those hit the spot)“
“After 3pm on Monday through Wednesday I believe it is they have half of bagels. So we went and got bagels! The bagels here are decent and I like the cream cheese and tuna options. They sell Leonard's bakery goodies, mostly important the coffee cake. Yummmmmmm!!“
“Its a good quick bite. Food is consistent. Been stopping by when I'm in the area. But I used to eat here regularly when I worked in the area.Alot of other Al's have closed, I'm happy this one hasn't.Chicago has a lot of Italian Beef places, and reviews for this category is very subjective. But I have always liked Al's over Portillos, Mr.Beef, or Buona. But Johnny's on North Ave will always be top shelf for me.But this Al's has a bigger menu and is on the otherside of town, so if you're in the area swing by for a bite, most people aren't driving to Johnny's from Niles if they weren't planning on it from the start.“
“I ordered an open-faced, roast turkey dinner. The stuffing was AMAZING, the mashed potatoes and gravy like home-made, and the turkey was tender and delicious. The best hot turkey (and stuffing) I've had. The Pick-up wait on a Friday night was 45 minutes! There was a guy in a hat meeting pick-up customers almost yelling, 'the foods not up yet. ' We all looked at each other, but good was outstanding.“
“We tried a couple of sandwiches from this spot! It was interesting to see the limited open hours as the reviews rave about their sandwiches. They have a small menu of sandwiches, salads and refreshments which makes it an ideal location for a local lunch spot if you have flexibility with open hours. We tried the Singapore Tikka and the Sesame chili tuna sandwich which didn't take long to receive. The tuna sandwich with the chili oil and banh mi toppings was really good. They asked if we wanted it to be spicy but I didn't taste anything spicy about the sandwich but the flavors were well put together. I wasn't a fan of the tikka sandwich which needs maybe the tikka sauce to bring the ingredients together.“
“I love this place. I’m part Vietnamese and grew up eating a lot of Vietnamese foods. This place is much than just a Bahn Mi spot. They have so many traditional snacks, desserts and meals here.I got a Bahn Mi, it was good, a little bit dry not the best Bahn Mi I’ve had in chicago but still yummy. And it wasn’t the bread that’s “dry” the bread is naturally crunchy on the outside and flaky and soft on the inside, that was achieved. I think I felt the fillings could have been balanced a bit better is all.I got a few viet desserts and some pickled mustard greens that I grew up with. I also got a “fried pork roll” which if you’ve never had it I highly recommend it, warm or cold. Just cut a slice off and eat it or eat it with rice or rice noodles. All were flavors that reminded me of home and I am so happy I found this spot. I will certainly be back.Service was fast and friendly. My friend even left her phone on the counter and they stopped her to give it back.If you’ve been looking for Viet desserts, meats, pickled items etc. I’d say this is your spot to stop by. Bahn Mi needs improvement though. I’ve had some better spots elsewhere.“

“Beautiful and excellent place. Today I went to dinner with my mom and we ordered a Howard Street sandwich and an Up North sandwich, we also ordered a bubble tea and a coffee. The sandwiches are huge and delicious.I highly recommend this place, the staff is very friendly ???“
“Sandwich Club is one of the best kosher Restaurants in Chicago, the Donny is fabulous, the problem is they are extremely cheap about their sauce, they switched up the meat from a couple years back, and now the Donny is more Dry, i used to ask them to make sure that it’s not dry bc it doesn’t taste as good and then they would charge me .50¢ (I don’t care about .50¢ but it’s the principal that bothers me) other than that their firecracker is delicious!“
“Pittsburgh native and I’ve lived in Chicago for 3 years and never knew this place existed!!! Such a hidden gem. These sandwiches definitely satisfy a Primantis craving. Not identical, main differences to me are the bread and fries but the sandwiches are fresh and delicious.Staff is extremely friendly and there are tons of beer/liquor selections! This will definitely be a regular spot for me moving forward!“
“Bright, clean, and inviting place with a friendly staff. So far I've tried a couple of their ginormous taters, the Veggie Spud and the Max Spud and they were both good and filled with plenty of tasty ingredients. The McAlister's Club is pretty good too. Prices aren't bad when you consider what you're getting for the money.“
“Delicious subs! Being a guy who works a lot, I'm a big sub guy; that being said, Bob O Rinos beats all the chains! Very reasonable prices and the Italian dressing makes it so tasty in a way that the other guys can't match! The cookies are super tasty too! Anytime I'm back in my childhood neighborhood I gotta give them a visit! Super good food!“
“Great customer service by the young lady at the front counter. Food served hot and fresh with great portions size. Felt satisfied and full walking out the door.Small diner though with very large windows, great viewing of the park in the summer, a bit on the cold side in the winter on my most recent visitParking: Pull in, pull out style parking in a shared lot in front of the building. There is parking on Clark Street by the park if needed.Kid-friendliness: Booth seetingWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room to move around and friendly staff to assist.“
“I liked the remodeled look of the subway and I absolutely love the service. As soon as I walk in I get a greeting and a smile from the employee. The food always smells and looks fresh. The bread is super soft as well, other subways have hard or stale bread but not this one. I will be going to this subway in the future and I highly recommend going here for a quick bite to eat.“
“Music good! Customer service great! I came in last 10mins and their wasn't any issues or rushing me to order. Also jimmy John's really made my day for my birthday! Yes they give free sandwiches for your birthday! And I definitely recommend the jalapeño chicken wrap mmm mmm good!“
“When I saw this deli open I thought, ho hum, just another deli. This is not ‘just another deli’. Selection is great, food has been outstanding. I especially like using their iPhone app. Easy to order and make customizations to your sandwich. I like to substitute the wheat wrap on my Spicy Southwest Chicken. The Chicken Tortilla soup is also fantastic - just enough heat for me. My wife loves the Savannah Chop salad. If you plan to eat in, study the menu before you go. You’ll have a hard time deciding! In my experience the prices for all there items we’ve ordered are reasonable. Example - the Savannah Chop salad was $8.89. Not bad for a large salad with grilled chicken. Support this business because they are a differentiator.“
“I’ve been eating Subway on/off for 25 years and this is probably the best Subway establishment I can remember going to. Restaurant seems very clean and ingredients are fresh. There is a young man working during the day named Tiger who makes perfect sandwiches with care and great distribution of toppings/ingredients. Shout out to Tiger. I’ve been here a few times now and its consistently top notch (for Subway).“
“One of the most fresh and clean Subways I have enjoyed my tuna sub! I highly recommend bc the veges and meats and cheese and breads are all fresh. The place is very clean. She added the fresh veges and piled it on which I very much appreciated. So good and healthful. The staff person was very attentive and nice. I will love to be back here all the time if I could. Thank you to this location and the owner and staff! Such a great deal and no need to cook or do the dishes or cleanup after.“
“Every time I come in I love the food. Today there was an issue and a misunderstanding with my order and even though I was very hangry and kind of rude the staff were kind and caring and got me the delicious food. So highly recommend them and the adjacent bakery which is equally delicious.“
