The subs are good. The main problem I have is the system that is in place. I watch 8 people get there sandwiches before me even tho I place them my order first, these were not pre orders. When she called out an order that I thought was mine but wasn’t, the owner pointed at me and said “ I knew it wasn’t you”. I thought she was going by the order of how customer place their order. I understand it got busy but if she needs help she should get it or set up a better system. Not really fair that I had to wait 30 min while the last person waited about 5 mins for their sub.

This classic sub shop is a definite must if you are hunting for a sandwich around lunchtime. Very simple sandwiches that are flavorful and carefully crafted. Everyone who works there is super nice as well.Prices are pretty extremely reasonable, too — so there is almost no reason to go to a Jimmy John’s or Potbelly’s for a worse, more expensive sandwich.

Whatever the sub lacks in this fast paced sub world, this place makes up for it by being called “honey” or “sweetie” or “handsome young man” by the incredibly lovely Nonna at the counter is worth everything and then some.Protect this woman at all costs. If you call, expect it to take a minute. Do whatever it takes to just check this place out.Definitely add artichokes to your prosciutto and mozzarella, and have a soda you’re not sure what this liquid is. Just do it.Blue collar and honest.

There are better known Italian deli's in town, especially in West Town and West Loop. Why is this under the radar is beyond me. These subs are phenomenal. In fairness, I've only ordered the Italian House Specialty, so I can't comment on the others. But dang, it's SO good. This place is no frills, but I wouldn't have it any other way. And a great value. Do yourself a favor, and skip past those others and give this a whirl. You can thank me later. Ok, my mouth is watering.Kid-friendliness: Kids love sandwiches. And its laid back.

I defy anyone to find a better sub on the renowned Grand Ave. I've tried em all, and I think Vinnie is by far the tastiest. They put a lot of effort in the seasonal and holiday decor. The lady behind the counter will charm your socks off. Every time we visit is a delight, we come a little after the lunch rush so we don't have to wait in line. Grand Ave. may be the most famous sandwich street in Chicago, if you're wondering which one you should try first, it's Vinnie's.
