Sandwich Shops near Elmwood Park

“The man who made my food today was extremely polite and friendly. He took his time, made my sandwich exactly how I wanted it, and even reminded me about a deal I didn’t know about. On top of that, he gave me a free bag of chips, which was a really kind gesture. Great customer service—definitely made my day!“

“I like the subway, I come here often but I don't like how they do not accept coupons. I also worked here once. I had to learn to break down the tuna. There was a difficult menu to memorize. The lunch breaks for only 15 minutes! Nonetheless this is simply a Subway. A friendly staff.“

“We ordered a J.J Gargantuan and my husband does not like provolone cheese. He asked to switch to cheddar cheese and was told there was a $1.50 upcharge, why they were going to put provolone already, but they would not take any money off for no cheese.“

“Best Sandwiches in Chicago!!!“

“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!“

“Charleys Cheesesteaks & Wings is a great spot for a quick and delicious meal. Their cheesesteaks are packed with flavorful, grilled steak, melted cheese, and fresh toppings on a toasted roll. The wings are also a highlight, with plenty of sauces and seasonings to choose from. The portions are satisfying, and the food is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Overall, Charleys offers tasty food, good variety, and a convenient dining experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys cheesesteaks, wings, and fries!“

“Went here with my Auntie, Fizi and Nick was very friendly with us, they were guiding us throughout the way and even pointed out what we can do to get a discount. We presented a coupon but we forgot to check the date, it was invalid to use already. But then Fizi helped us with the app and we got the $5 discount (not much but it’s something) Then Nick was friendly and attentive with our food as well. Great staff, good food, good price. Good job 👏“

“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.“

“The food there is delicious, fresh and well worth the money. I had ordered 5 meals from their and the price really was a wonderful surprise. It was a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be. The staff there was very professional and the wait for my food was very fast and accurate. Great food, wonderful employees. I will definitely be eating there again real soon. I will take my son with me because he really loved the food.“

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

“Great food, great service!“

“100/10 every time, at ANY location in any state 🥳“

“Masterpiece sandwiches and cookies. I highly recommend the Taste of Chicago Sandwich (perfectly spicy). Mary the owner catered our wedding party for us, and it was probably the best food we had all weekend. They were able to provide Vegan and Gluten Free versions of almost all of their main menu items, which delighted our dietary-restricted guests. Highly recommend both eating at the cute restaurant and getting them to cater for you!!“

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

“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 are made with high quality meats and toppings and love the selection on tap.“

“Got to take the wife here for the first time! He loved it!!!“

“Is this the best Jersey Mike’s location in the world????

I went today for the first time and was so pleasantly surprised by 1) how GOOD and gorgeous my sandwich was 2) how friendly and nice everyone working there was. So nice!!!!!“

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

“I’ve been going there for years; since A1 shut down on Clark & Morse, sub brothers have had my roast beef/ corned beef combo, which is tasty. 😋“

“Grabbed 5 boxes for our firehouse lunch today—Italian, ham & cheese, turkey & swiss, chicken parm, and the standout Al Pacino. Sandwiches were fresh, packed with great ingredients, and the 3-inch cuts in boxes of 12 were perfect for sharing a variety. Packaging was flawless. Rosie's Sidekick in Logan Square nailed it—can't wait to order again!“

“Best sandwiches in Chicagoland! I live 50 minutes from here and I make this commute at least once every 2 weeks to get a sandwich. I started going here almost 20 years ago. Friendly staff, and incredible sandwiches. For the love of god, get the oil!“

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

“Catered subs for event and had hot and cold subs delivered on time and as always delicious! Great service !“

“I really enjoy the classic philly cheesesteak. Skylar was really nice and asked me whether I wanted a medium or large combo which I appreciated- go big or go home haha. I really enjoy the freshness and the melt in your mouth cheesesteak. It always hits the spot. Can't wait to come back.“

“OMG, my sandwich was so good & so fresh. Love the bread! I went to Jimmy John's a couple of weeks ago & there was exactly 1 slice of turkey on my sandwich. Fontano's had 4 times the amount of meat on my sandwich for the same size sandwich.“

“Starship sub was solid and perfect for the heat. Place has that classic old-school sci-fi vibe with Trek stuff on the walls (spotted a Picard pic that looked signed). Food hit the spot, service was fine. Not mind-blowing but a fun random stop while wandering the area. Worth checking off the map.“

“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 ..“

“Great sandwiches , great home made soups, brick oven pizzas, Gelato, Italian cookies and imported lunch meat. place is fantastic. today I got the pork bracciole on garlic bread with hot giardinaria and provolone. that just might have been thee best sandwich I ever had.“

“I stopped by today, and the folks there were so nice. The sandwich I got was great too. I'm looking forward to a return visit sometime.“

“Amazing Products, Amazing Knowledge of It's Products. Customer service is phenomenal. And we will definitely be back without a doubt.“

“It's my neighborhood go to. I ate dinner from their last night 🌉. Their food is so good and the service is cool. It's like I know them all, I only be going to Sub Tender for 20 plus years, and I still enjoy it. Thank Sub T. Looking forward to my chocolate & banana 🍌 shakes“

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

“La comida es buena pero son demasiado de lentos 30 min esperando mi orden... ll“

“Love this place! Every sandwich is delicious! Plz update your website with a better quality menu. You can’t really read anything on it, your website is great besides that. Every time I’ve ordered it’s been a guessing game, but that’s how I know everything is great!“

“The customer service left much to be desired. While ordering I almost drove away because the person taking my order was rude. Any question I asked was responded to with attitude and like I was inconvenient for asking.

I’d never been before so I wanted to try a bit of everything. The cheesesteak was delicious. I got the original, knowing that if there was going to be a “best” option, this was it. It didn’t disappoint. It was well cooked, bread wasn’t too soggy, it was cut down the middle for convenience. Perfect amount of cheese, meat, and onions. I also got boneless wings with teriyaki sauce. The wings were a slightly overcooked and hard to bite into and the sauce was way too salty for me (almost like it was too much soy sauce). I got an order of the loaded fries which were messy and delicious.“

“Carry out. The place is too small for me BUT the corn beef sandwich in rye with mustard & pickles is OMG fantastic“

“I had a great experience at this Subway location. The staff was welcoming and made sure my order was prepared with care. I really appreciated the quick service, clean environment, and attention to detail when making my sandwich. Everything was fresh, organized, and enjoyable. A great place to stop for a reliable and tasty meal!“

“Jersey Mikes is good. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Manager Felicia is nice. They cook the food fresh and ready to eat and they maintain the restaurant clean. Great sandwiches. Must come back. 10/10
🤩“

“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.“

“Wow! I didn’t know what to expect from the outside, but the restaurant was so clean and smelled so good. I got the gyro sandwich and wanted a healthy dinner, I am so grateful for all the fresh veggies in their salad. Very good meat! I saw other people order a chicken dinner, it looked incredible. It was a lot of food for a very good price. Thank you!“

“Ignore what all the 1 star reviews are saying because this Subway is just as good, if not quicker and cleaner than a lot of other ones I have been too. It’s got plenty of seating, the staff is friendly and quick in preparing the food properly. Great location and have never had an issue with them or the service. Tastes great. Ready quick. Great price.“

“Stopped by for the first time to grab some chicken soup for my sick little one, and I’m so glad we did! 😊🍲 The service was fast and friendly, and the soup was definitely kid-approved! ❤ After looking over the menu, I’m really impressed by all the options and can’t wait to come back and try some of the other dishes. The space itself seems to be designed more with takeout in mind than dining in, so we’ll probably stick with carryout next time. Either way, we’ll definitely be returning! 👍✨“

“Had a really great experience at Subway! 🥪❤ The food was fresh, delicious, and made exactly the way I wanted. Jenson was especially kind and helpful—he prepared my order with a big smile and made the whole experience so pleasant. Excellent service and delicious food! Thank you, Jenson! 💗“

“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.“

“This subway location is top tier! So clean and smells so good. The person who took my order was so friendly and professional. What I like most is that bathrooms are disappearing at many subway locations, but there’s a customer bathroom here on Dempster. I give it 10 stars!!“

“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!!!“

“Please support this business!
In September 2025, the longtime owner of Best Sub, 64-year-old Asif Amin Cheema, was detained by federal immigration agents just three minutes from his home during the early days of Operation Midway Blitz. Despite having no criminal record, he was arrested because he had a removal order for a missed court date, something the family says their former immigration lawyer did not tell them about.

in January 2026, he was deported to his native Pakistan after 30 years in the United States, where he raised his five kids. In the months since, the Amins have tried to keep his Best Sub #2 sandwich shop afloat without their patriarch.

Please support this business!“

“With all the unhealthy junk food out there, it’s always a great day when you find something that’s both healthy and tasty, and affordable! The owners were very friendly, everything was clean inside, and the service was quick. I got the Paneer Fig sandwich and my GF got the Indonesian Ginger BBQ sandwich with chicken, and we both loved it. You also get the option to make it spicy or not. I’d say I have a higher than average heat tolerance, and I asked for spicy but IMO it wasn’t spicy at all. Not a big deal, but if you’re worried it’ll be too hot, it wont be. You also get to choose between chips and coleslaw, we both got the coleslaw and that was just okay. I’d rather try whatever chips they have available next time. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant if you can make it during there unfortunately very limited hours from 11am-2pm.“
