Sandwich Shops near Harwood Heights

“I've gone to this subway many times years ago and never had a problem. Great service and food. Haven't visited in years and went back, some of the same faces still work there, same great service and food. A place I've trusted for years“

“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!“

“Incredible place unmatched excellent attention, everything very well sometimes fills in 12pm hour, but then it's fine. The owner is super nice just like the consumers compact but quality consumers will certainly return, but it will come back, but it remains me about 1 hour walk away.“

“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!“

“It was our first time here and the food was delicious and freshly made, best Philly cheesteak I’ve ever had! The wings were so meaty and had great flavor as well. We appreciated how the staff helped us out with the orders and helping us choose what to try.“

“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.“

“First time trying this place and I would go back again. I ordered the seasoned fries. They were very crispy and tasty. The seasoning was a bit different. I ordered the spicy garlic shrimp sandwich with extra shrimp. Absolutely delicious. It was not spicy but well seasoned. The arugula on the sandwich was a nice e compliment to the overall taste profile.“

“I visited la Sandwichera during their “hangover special” event on New Years Day. You can tell this family owned business puts a lot of love and care into their food. Sandwiches were great, the sancocho soup was a hit! The staff was friendly and hilarious. Being there felt like I was home. And we can’t forget the amazing clock on the ceiling!!“

“Fast food store. Has sit down. Best food in the O'hare airport. You might have to wipe off your own counter, but given the food is so good it's worth it. I'll even go here if my flight is in concourse B or the other end of “

“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!!“

“They're not bad. I had the Ruebenesque sandwich, which was pretty good. I also had some of their cheesy garlic bread and that too was good. They share a space with My Pie, and it's a pickup only (though perhaps they have some outdoor seating in the warmer months?). I'd return if I was in the area.“

“After all these years in business, still the best sub sandwiches in Chicago area. There's a reason why, every morning, they have a huge stack of pre-made American & Italian subs ready for customers to quickly head one and go. Their amount of business is crazy!“

“8 years ago, my step granddaughter had baked a tray of brownies and left them on the stove. I had about 4 and half until my eyes started closing on their own. My vision spun black, to white, to even maybe red orange and yellow. I was terrified of the way I felt- it was my first time under the influence of marijuana besides in the clove cigarette I smoked back in '68. I had the AK-47 at Cheba Hut yesterday. It stayed perfectly warm in my bag despite my 25 minute moped trek home thanks to the thorough wrapping of the employees. The wife questioned why I smelt like roast beef after supper that night, but I assured her it was just from the Cheba Hut- and not to mention the best damn "toasted" sub I've had in these odd 71 years of life.“

“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 “

“i usually don’t come to this location but every time i do i see this young girl always working by herself . i love the way she makes my food and she’s quick and efficient. there was just 5 people in front of me and she got them in and out by herself . She is always very polite and welcoming .“

“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!“

“Great sandwiches, beer selection, and shot special in a cozy, local neighborhood setting where, like cheers, everybody knows your name. There are 3 connected businesses here. A package goods liquor store with a great selection and reasonable prices. A sandwich bar with tasty sandwiches, beer, and limited mixed drink options. A draw for locals and visitors alike. The latest addition is a coffee shop, which is clean, white, and a welcome addition to the neighborhood. There are limited coffee options in walking distance in this corner of the neighborhood. Coffee is one of the few things I make well, so I can't comment on the third establishment. If like the other 2, I'm sure it's a great early time gathering spot.“

“I have been here several times. I always enjoy the food. I have a cheese steak these days, it is well made. I sort of think of them as a decent restaurant pretending to be a fast food place. The ingredients are fresh, and it's made to order. I am glad it isn't right by my office. So it stays a nice treat.“

“This is the best sandwich shop! You can tell the bread is fresh and the deli meats are freshly sliced. We ordered online for pickup and got a bogo deal through Uber Eats so we didn't have much interaction with the service. On the inside it's a little shop with a bar and limited seating. Luckily we live a half mile away because I will definitely be craving this. Pro tip: add banana peppers to the west sider.“

“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.“

“I think I've only been inside this location to replace a drink or get some condiments that weren't added to my order or something. Otherwise it's mainly drive-thru. Service is usually pretty good and haven't had any issues with making an order improperly. Some of the best sandwiches for the price. Especially the 2 regular subs deal. Keep one for lunch the next day letting all the good stuff marinate overnight. So good.“

“Co-workers wanted to meet up for lunch and I am so glad they choose this place. They have some table and chairs inside, but it can be a tight fit during the lunch rush. The employees are helpful, and the place looked very clean. The menu has a lot of options, and I was happily surprised they have gluten free bread which was the best gluten free bread I have ever had a sandwich on. The contents on the sandwich were flavorful and you could tell they were fresh. It came with a side salad which had a great dressing on it. Overall, the meal was worth the price, and I would recommend trying them out yourself. I did spot a homemade galeto selection, but didn't indulge on this first trip, but I may need to check that out and report back in the future.“

“I dined in. The food was good and hot. The booths aren't too comfortable for the big boys, but that's motivation for me to shed some lbs.Parking: Large lot, easy to get into and pull out of.Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are wide and the curve is slanted...“

“the gentleman this evening was very professional, well mannered, attentive, courteous, welcoming, humble, and mindful. superior customer service, clean facilities, fresh food, and a cooled environment to keep out of the heat and traffic while refueling for the next trip. thank you for making the visit enjoyable!“

“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“

“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“

“I had the Giant sub it was okay I think maybe if I had toasted it, it would have been better it was ok for my first time but it wasn't a lot of meat choices but I will be going back and trying something different next time any recommendations I will be happy to “

“Went looking for a Clam Chowder last week and found it at Starship. My husband and I enjoyed it- it was so delicious. It was slightly creamy and had a wonderful amount of clams and potatoes in it. The best part was the bit of “heat” in the chowder. For me the heat manifested itself at the back of the throat, a lovely warm sensation. ( maybe pepper?) The chowder was seasoned perfectly, the texture was great and they are always generous with the bread and crackers. Best clam chowder I have had outside of Boston. I almost felt guilty enjoying my meal so much on a Friday in lent, did not feel like I was giving up anything?it was That good!“

“We usually order for pickup. Food is always ready on time and very well prepared. Relatively inexpensive compared to similar places. All around very good. Order is usually accurate but if there is a mistake they are very nice about making it right. In fact they actually comped me on some extra soup when I accidentally ordered a cup instead of a bowl! Also their rewards program pays off regularly so I'm almost always getting a few bucks off the bill or something for free.“

“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.“

“Finally made it to the Smash Sandwich Cafe at Howard and Dodge and the rave reviews are not exaggerating!! We had the Nutty Butter, Navy Pier, and Twisted Chicken. Portion sizes are gigantic and the flavors are out of this world. Get there ASAP!!Plenty of parking and you can also order ahead and drive thru“

“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)“

“First time ordering from Firehouse, Stone Park. The food was great Don our delivery guy was very helpful in showing us how the catering boxes setup. Everything was fresh. The staff loved the sandwiches and salad. Next time we will include the cookies.“

“Everybody is super nice, the place is super clean and they also understand exactly what you want but also with a smile all the time!Vegetarian options: I wouldn’t know how to explain it because I’m not a vegetarian, but when I do go there and I ask for certain kind of sandwich, they make it for me and for my kids so I can only assume that vegetarians are getting what they want!Dietary restrictions: They cater to all people.No discrimination.Parking: Very clean, It’s a funny question because every time I go over there, there’s employees sweeping and picking up garbage and They open the door for people“

“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.“

“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.“

“Really liked this cute sandwich shop... freshly made sandwiches served nicely on a wooden board. I was here for a quick business lunch but will be backs soon. Had a scoop of the pecan ice cream which was delicious and made in-house. Good quality and quick service with plenty of parking. I will certainly be back!“

“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!“

“I have had Moon's before it's been some years. I had a corned beef sandwich. It was very good! Solid sandwich. And the service was good also. It was a great value also at the time. I'm definitely have to stop by in the near future. 8/10 Remember all reviews are subjective.“

“I moved here from philly and have been looking for the closest thing to a hoagie you can get in Chicago. This is the closest I've come so far. I asked if the owner was from Philly and they said yes.My one critique is I asked for hot peeppers hoping for long hots and they put giardiniera, but that was partially my mistake.The rolls could be a bit better, they're very close to that philly/nj roll, and I would say closer than anything else I've found in chicago so far, but they're not quite the same yet.Other reviewers mentioned that they make the bread here in house. I asked if they did and they said no, so I'm not sure why the other reviewers said that.Overall a great hoagie in Chicago! Definitely recommend“

“My food was fye. Everything was hot and my shake was mixed with pineapple and strawberry (which I included in the notes and they actually read it and did it it's a lot of places that don't). Gyro cheeseburger has always been my go to.“

“Forgot to take a picture because I was so hungryyy. But it was sooo delicious! I don’t live by here so I was skeptical because the outside looks a little creepy lol. But it’s 10/10, i got the tuna melt and the stuffed bell pepper soup. I hope to come back!“

“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.“

“Love this place! Moving back to Humboldt park the cook at night is so friendly and nice he even sings I always feel like family there and I even buy food to give after I eat!!!A bit pricey but it's worth the money I support any local business and definitely I'm happy they been there so many years, ? ?❤❤️‍??“

“Stopped for lunch, I had the bacon mac n cheese it was very good! The service was fine. The place was a mess, though! All the tables had dishes from the last people there and were unwashed.The thing is, they weren't busy!Other than that, the food was 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.“

“The food is well executed! the owner/chef totally gets it! I a make sure to tip because I feel like most the clientele does not.They have a jimshoe sandwich, it slaps, I’m going to try the fish next time. The bread is ideal for the philly and other sandwiches.However proprietary they may be, the fries are better than fatsos last stand and red hot ranch in my opinion“
