50 Best Sandwich Shops near Bellwood

“Mr. Submarine continues to serve up delicious, satisfying food that keeps me coming back. Their subs are consistently fresh, generously portioned, and packed with flavor. Whether I’m ordering a classic Italian, turkey and cheese, or a hot Philly steak, the bread is always soft and fresh, and the ingredients taste high quality. Their fries and sides also hit the spot — crispy, hot, and well-seasoned. It’s clear that the kitchen staff takes pride in preparing solid, reliable meals that deliver on taste every time.

However, the customer service could definitely use improvement. On several visits, I’ve experienced long wait times and a lack of attentiveness from the staff. Orders are sometimes taken with minimal communication or eye contact, and there’s often a sense of being rushed even when the store isn’t busy. It doesn’t ruin the experience, but it does make it feel less welcoming than it could be.

A little extra friendliness and better organization at the front counter would go a long way in making Mr. Submarine a top-tier spot all around. The food already speaks for itself — now it’s time for the customer service to catch up. With a few adjustments, this place could be truly exceptional.“

“They Philly cheese steaks, so good very good Customer Service they fix your food The way you want to fix . I am a very particular either. I don’t eat at any restaurants. My son told me about them say they fool are so good so I took a chance tonight to try their Philly cheesesteaks when I tell you it was good. It was really good. I would recommend anybody to try their Philly cheesesteaks. I get them 10+10 stars“

“Great cheesesteak. A nice change from the usual gyro, hotdog, or burger and open late for another option besides Portillos in the area. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the mood for a change like I was!! Would only recommend takeout though…inside is nice but the whole place smells like diesel fuel because of the fuel tanks under ground in the gas station lots surrounding Charley’s….only disappointing take away. I’d get a headache eating inside for sure.

Parking: Only a few spots so take out is a better option.“

“I’ve been eager to try Mortadeli since it first opened, and after hearing so many rave reviews, I finally had the chance to stop by for lunch yesterday. Let me tell you, everything everyone says about this place is spot on! First off, the food is absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu is so tempting, it was hard to choose, but I went with the meatball sub and pasta salad. As someone whose grandmother made the best meatball sandwiches, my expectations were high – but Mortadeli’s version did not disappoint! It was fantastic. The pasta salad was also amazing, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere at Mortadeli is incredibly inviting – it strikes the perfect balance between classy and cozy. The staff are very friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care about making your experience special. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff and quick delivery of our food. One of the owners even took the time to chat with us a bit. Another pleasant surprise was the parking – I had my doubts at first, but we found a spot just around the corner with no problem at all. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be back. Mortadeli is a must-visit!“

“Detroit native living in Texas I wanted a corned beef sandwich before leaving Chicago. Went in ordered 2 mile high sandwiches for me and my boyfriend before heading to the airport. I wanted to taste the sandwiches to make sure they would hit. I only got corned beef from Detroit and my favorites are from coney islands. We took one bite of this sandwich turned around and got 2 more. The corned beef melts like butter sandwiches are amazing“

“the food is great service is very friendly and the place is clean“

“The best subway!!! Their subs tastes better compared to other subway, not only they're behind counter is always clean, the store itself is very clean, and very friendly staff, saroj, vj, bhie, and mega. as well as the owner (chavda) himself.“

“Sam runs an amazing place! Super friendly, and the subs are PHENOMENAL!“

“One of my wife and I’s favorite spots. If you’re in the area, this is a must.“

“Great experience, delicious food , appetizers and desserts. I like the decor in old style . It’s very convenient location , just a few steps from the CTA blue line. German beer is great and a lot of cocktails to choose from. Our Polish waiter Krzys ( Chris ) was very nice and patient . Thank you“

“Subs never disappoint, I make it a point to stop here for lunch almost any time I’m in Hinsdale.

Fast service.

Seating is usually limited but did they recently revamp the inside a little.

Parking: Parking lot is a little tight and somewhat limited.“

“This place has pepper/egg sandwiches every day of the week during lent season. 👏👏👏😍😍😍“

“Staff has changed over the years and they aren't their strongest right now. Call in orders should be simple but the cashier was very spacey and didn't want to charge me for what all I ordered thank God for the older cooks that kept telling her what I ordered!! And for a pick up it took awhile to just pick it up. Won't be going for a while“

“The buffalo wings were 🔥🔥🔥. I will return.“

“LOVE this place 😍...wish they would open one closer to me, I travel 3 hours to get my fix .. probably should move back to the area lol ..so much cheaper than the S-Way place ..and better, always crowded ..“

“We were at a neighboring business and decided to try this out. What a stroke of luck? This place is great! The menu is divided into 5 sections. Cold Deli, Off the Grill, Create your own Dagwood, Veggie, and Wraps / Salads. I got the grilled Classic Italian on multi grain bread . The bread was substantial to hold up to the meat, but not dry. The sandwich overall was on the messy side, so be ready with some napkins. My brother got the Philly Cheese Steak, we are not from the east coast, so cannot validate the authenticity of the Philly portion of the name but he said it was a darn good sandwich and they did not skimp on the meat. My husband got the cold Ham & Swiss, but the staff offered to serve it hot. We also tried cheese bread with tomato sauce. This was OK. It would have been a fine snack, but the sandwiches turned out to be so big (we each got regular size - the large must be huge!), we really did not need the appetizer. The fries are "fresh-cut," and they really mean it! There is a hopper of russet potatoes (I guess about 50 potatoes) right next to the fryer. We did each have a chocolate chunk cookie (we really only had a bite of it because we were full), they are really spot-on with the "chunk" - the chocolate was substantial peices. A tasty end to the meal.“

“Workers were so sweet and accommodating for my wife who has celiac disease. Food was wonderful and the restaurant was really clean too!

Dietary restrictions: Workers knew about gluten safety and washed their hands, wiped down surfaces.“

“Good place all around. If you're looking for a quick bite, this is a good place to stop. There's a big variety in sandwiches and salads to try, and of course there's pizza and panzaroti made in the word fire oven.

We had a sandwich and a salad the first time we went and they were very good. As were the cookies, and lots to choose from. Will have to go back and check their other offerings. It also has a deli counter with cheese and meats.“

“Favorite place. Super delicious 😋“

“Nothing!!! This has to be the ABSOLUTE WORST Jersey Mike’s I have ever dealt with!!! Can’t get anyone on the phone to help w a mobile app order……didn’t even get the food we paid for!!!“

“Grabbed lunch here with a friend today. Ordered the turkey club on a French roll; my friend got the chicken & cheese panini. My sandwich was delightful. Service was quick & staff appeared nice. My friend said it is a staple of Riverside & they visit often.“

“Stopped by today on a Wednesday evening for the first time ever and I was stunned. Food was super good, fresh and the staff working today (May 14th) was incredible! Me and my girlfriend customized our subs a bit and we didn't have to repeat ourselves once. Place is kept extremely clean and the staff was just impressive. Food quality was top notch and its my new go to place!“

“always fresh food and friendly customer servers. yummmy food“

“Ive been to almost alll Submmarines but this one takes it for the win! They were so welcoming and friendly and super clean for a small sandwich shop. Not only do they have a wide variety for subs and add ons but they also sell hot dogs , italian beefs , burgers and pizza puffs as well as so many side options from fries to mac n cheese bites! Give it a try and you wont regret it! Super clean , very nice family people 10/10And at the end the nice gentleman gave my daughter a free lollipop! Such a great experience and place full offf flavor and some crispyyyy golden fries“

“This is a great location and lots of seating inside. Doesn’t feel small like other locations. Super friendly service and as always great food. I plan on patronizing this location again very soon!“

“I had a bad experience with a different Jersey Mike's with customer service, liking the sandwich I went to this location. Everything was excellent. This will be my new store. Connor and his crew were great.“

“Usually love it, but put Mayo & mustard on the 8 subs I bought when I specifically said NO.... TOO far away to return 😣😢😠“

“EVER SINCE MY COWORKER BROUGHT ME HERE, I DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE FOR SANDWICHES!!! THIS PLACE KNOWS SUBS!! AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE, ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND ALSWAYS HELPFUL WHEN ORDERING FOR LARGE GROUPS. THE GUY THAT MAKES THE SANDWICHES IS A MASTER!!! ALWAYS MADE RIGHT!!! PLUS TRIED THE LASAGNA, MIND BLOWING!!!“

“just had dinner at this location, used the restroom and a cockroach came crawling under the door the size of a coin dollar & i have a video of it for those who dont believe me. i will not be coming back my stomach is turned upside down & i feel so sick right now.“

“Always a must stop on my way to or from the Brookfield Zoo. I don't live in the area any more, but when I visit I always try to hit up Mr. Submarine. I don't know what it is, because at face value the ingredients are just OK. But when you get that shredded lettuce soaked with vinegar and oregano, and the not quite sure what kind of cheese it is, mixed with a true sub roll and solid deli meat. It's a beautiful thing. And the grumpy guy behind the counter, he's been there for 30 years. Different faces over the years, but it's the same guy. Just part of the experience. Never change Mr. Submarine.“

“This place is a gem. Family-run business. Friendly, personable service. The place is very well-maintained. The layout of the store is very appealing, and the fact of a 24-hour Subway inside a gas station/mini-mart on a busy corner in a hotel zone with neighborhoods nearby makes the place indispensable. Nice selection of basic phone cords and chargers, along with other expected items. The locals I saw coming and going seemed to appreciate it as well. I wish these folks the very best. 5 stars all around…“

“Came on Christmas Day, lady behind the counter was very kind. Greeted my boyfriend and I right as we walked in. And proceeded to make the most scrumptious, deliciously packed subs. I definitely would recommend.

Parking: Free parking in the back!“

“I love this place. The cashier was very nice taking my order. The employees we're friendly and courteous. The food was delicious. Me and my mom enjoy our sandwich. Definitely yes will go back and eat againg.“

“Go every time I'm in the area. Grilled pastrami Reuben“

“I have chosen this particular Subway for several reasons. One, the ingredients are always fresh and delicious. Two, the efficiency and attention to detail are always great! Third through the next ten...customer service. The two young ladies , working early Tuesday evening March 19th, providivded beautiful customer service with a smile!“

“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.“

“Jersey Mike's -Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. We are super picky about where we get sub sandwiches. Jersey Mike's fits the bill every time. Oakbrook Terrace is our favorite location because of Alicia. The food and smiles she serves is top notch. I'll add some photos in the future but for now, trust me the sandwiches are filled beautifully. Alicia runs the show here from top to bottom. I can't say enough about her fantastic presence. People have unlimited places to purchase sandwiches --- it really helps bring in customers when they can expect to see a long time employee there with such great energy.. We love eating here and I highly recommend.“

“I dine in this nice place many times a year! This is my favorite spot to pass a nice evening. I go to this spot at least once a month. The meals are fantastic, the staff is friendly and the prices are affordable. I enjoy being in this restaurant for a nice dinner.“

“Susan Eric and Tom make this restaurant a must visit. the customer service is all smiles by Susan, Eric and Tom provide the chillest effect and the food is a reflection of the service and care the staff provides I was knocked off my feet with the salad and the service. Pay this group a visit and get the Apple Walmut salad a must have Susan will show u how to mixture the dressing!!! A really fun and unexpected experience!!! thank you staff!!!!“

“Fast. Clean. Friendly. Fresh. Solid service. No complaints.

Vegetarian options: Plenty

Kid-friendliness: It's Subway. I don't believe they have a kids menu anymore.

Parking: Small lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.

Dietary restrictions: Will accommodate.“

“My middle daughter told me about this place and she wanted me to bring her a gym shoe sandwich actually 2. I tasted it when I got up to Washington and wow it was good. So when I got back to Chicago I went and bought one and I took my girlfriend with me and bought her one as well. We both enjoyed it immensely.“

“I order lunch from here often and I just wanted to take the time to say I appreciate how hard they make sure to get me my order in a timely manner each and every time. Even when they're short on delivery drivers and Uber cancels. Thank you!“

“This is my go-to place when I want something quick, good, and affordable. The place is small but chill and always has a good atmosphere. The menu is good and varied. I've been there multiple times, and the staff guys are always professional and fast.“

“Asked for "everything except no mayo" on my sandwich. Poor lady started by putting mayo on it (probably out of habit since most folks want mayo) before realizing her mistake - even before I did. She apologized profusely and had them remake me a sandwich. It was literally the most minor inconvenience in the world that cost me a whopping 2 minutes of added wait time, but they still snuck a free chocolate chip cookie in my bag. Completely unnecessary but much appreciated! Yay for people who actually care about their customers (even though, again, in this case, it barely even qualified as an inconvenience to me, lol). Also the sandwich was delicious!“

“Great location. 👍 Good food. reasonable price.“

“Like the JM Vegie sub :-)“

“The two gentlemen there on August 4, 2024 at 10:30 am were extremely welcoming and were super fast. They made sure our rewards were scanned so we could get points which I would have forgotten about. I had modifications with our sandwiches which they took care of with no problem and were made perfectly. They made sure our sandwiches also had sufficient napkins/packets of sauce in the bag. It’s refreshing to have such friendly service thank you!!“

“I love ordering great food from this specific Jimmy Johns because the ingredients taste so fresh and I have always had excellent customer service experiences there. The blonde tall guy with blue eyes who works the front counter has always been hella nice to me ever since i first stepped foot in there, and he's not too bad on the eyes as well, which is a plus ;) I wouldnt mind taking him for a ride on my Ninja 400 some time and maybe taking a trip to another Jimmy Johns store for food! X,D He likes my hat too! :3“

“Bread was tough and chewy. Maybe not fresh. First bread option not available. The lady making it seemed to be having a bad day and not at all friendly or enthusiastic. That same energy led to a sandwich that just wasn't made with love. With so many other eateries around this subway, I would be hesitant to go back“
