28 Best Sandwich Shops near Lake In The Hills

“I had the kahuna sub it was fire 🔥 I will be going back“

“The new owner has really done a fantastic job and the subs are so much better now. The previous owner was kind of scary...coughing while making food, dirty hands, etc. ..but the new owner is very careful about preparing your food and I'll certainly frequent the place now.“

“I always love coming here. The customer service is exceptional and Yash is one of the most kindest and warmest employee here. You always get positive vibes here. It’s one of the better subways to eat at. Sandwich making is exceptional here!“

“great subs..no skimping on their subs...bread crumby but good flavor...great prices.. we'll be back!!“

“Love your sandwiches. 5 times better than any other sandwich place in the area.“

“my local jersey mikes is trash. this one in crystal lake is awesome. very friendly staff. last time my card wasn't working and the girl hooked me up. I like her the most at that store“

“Love this deli! Staff is courteous, professional and helpful- and they seem tp enjoy their jobs! The food is delicious- my favorite is the Memphian, a combination of ham, beef and turkey with cheese that all blends so well that it is fast becoming my go to dinner. My wife eats healthier than me and likes the garden fresh turkey on a baguette- lots of turkey with spinach, avocado and cheese- really good! Lunch, Dinner or any other excuse, I'm in on McAllisters!“

“The sweet owner walked across the tracks this morning to give my daughter an avocado egg sandwich before taking the train to Chicago. He heard my daughter wanted one and he was so kind to Bring her one. Btw my daughter enjoyed it on the train! Thank you again for your hospitality!“

“First time trying a McAllisters. Loved it. Friendly staff. Soup, sandwiches great! Omg. Loved their sweet tea!!“

“A Very lovely family runs this shop! Every time I come in, they treat me so nice and the food always looks and tastes perfect! The new remodel looks very nice! Definitely recommend stopping in if your in town. :)

Kid-friendliness: Every time my son comes in with me, they always hand him a cookie! He loves it and feels so special!“

“Employees very nice and #6 very good.“

“My husband and I ear here a lot. Everything is fresh, the bread is great and I have never had a screwed up order. Since we take out that is a huge issue. If I get home missing items it puts me into a blind rage. It has never happened here.
The store is immaculate. The chip stands are well attended and all the sandwiche artists are friendly. If I had 1 thing to complain about it is PLEASE cut the sandwiches all the way through. That would be really cool. 😊 thanks“

“I always go to this Subway because they remember my order and my name every time I go in. The owners do a great job of keeping the restaurant clean. The veggies are always fresh as well as the bread. This location is much better than the one in Cary.“

“Have visited this new location several times since it opened. I rarely review an eatery until it’s got it legs & rhythm because, unlike any 1 star reviewers, I don’t believe it’s fair. Anyway, the staff is super friendly (aiming to please), & the sandwiches are fresh & delicious. Gonna grab lunch there today, in fact & looking forward to it!“

“very friendly fast service, nice atmosphere and always very clean place, food is always great.“

“Fantastic job on the $1 Special today! Line kept moving quickly, and workers were pleasant and upbeat (at least while I was there)!“

“So when I was younger and you guys first introduced Jared I was motivated I was a fat kid ever since I started eating these $5 footlongs which are like 10 bucks now I can say I've never felt better then I was scared after all the allegations after Jared now I know why he liked the footlongs“

“Many subways are hit or miss, most of them are misses though. But this one on the other hand does everything it needs to do right. Fast service. Good communication. Good amount of ingredients on each sandwich. Well done Subway in Cary! I will definitely be coming back to this one!“

“Absolutely love the soup and sandwiches! Head and shoulders above both Subway and Panera. And a shout out to the young man who made our sandwiches today. He dropped the mustard bottle on the floor while making the sandwich. What really impressed me was he picked it up and placed it in the sink, and grabbed a fresh one. It didn't matter that there was no way any dirt got in the bottle, he did the right thing.“

“Subway in CrystaLake on Route 14 is our favorite Subway location . I always ask to put on extra veggies. I get a 12" sub and took picture of the second half. It's so fresh and they are generous with their veggies. Through the app we get points. Today we got two footlong and also got couple $ off and were able to combine it with their promo. We have been going to them for a few years and switched from another town that they are not as generous with their toppings. Great job on being prompt and following our special requests! We are one of their regulars. Well worth going to this location.“

“I’ve been going to this subway for years and the owner is the sweetest person ever. He memorized my order so when I come in he asked if I want the usual and starts making it right away. 10/10 would recommend this specific subway the other places the people are rude and give off a bad attitude“

“Let this be clear. This is a franchise restaurant. But the service I was provided was amazing. I know Subway is not a premier sandwich shop but the people at this location working behind the counters (i.e. the people that make the sandwiches you eat) are amazing. I wish them the best. They are great at it. Why stop them? Unless they want to pursue higher education. Do it! Just letting you know, I was having a bad day and you helped make it better! Best of luck to all of you!“

“I visited the Cary Jimmy John’s on Thursday, August 7th, 2025. This was my fourth visit to the Cary JJ’s following my last visit in July but I have always loved this chain of food. My sandwich was really good and it was easy picking it up after work where I just got to enjoy myself and nothing better than JJ’s to do so. I recently joined Freaky Fresh rewards and it is so worth it! The staff were friendly, respectful but soft spoken and good at their job. I am sure I will be back soon! (Written 8-15-25)“

“Nice clean restaurant. Felt comfortable taking a lunch break here. They move fast and they were busy. Indian guy speaks Spanish ! He also gave a free cookie to a school teacher. Very cool guys working here.

Parking: In a gas station but still plenty of parking“

“Very good food and service Thank you“

“Jacob made me one of the best jimi john sandwiches I have ever had. The purpose of a franchise is to get consistent food at any location, but truth is you can tell when someone throws something together because they have to, and when someone makes something with love. That sandwich was good AFFF!!!“

“I ordered lunch and needed to have it within 15 minutes and Jonathan happened to be the delivery guy for the job and arrived in perfect time and was very polite! I will definitely be calling back and hoping Jonathan will be delivering again! Thank you so much!“

“The card system went down today. Because of that, when I went to place an order, the system charged me but didn’t put the order through. Props to the employees for handling the issues and helping the customers. They’re rockstars at this location!“
