30 Best Sandwich Shops near Lake In The Hills

Fresh ingredients, perfect portion sizes, and great flavor — the bread was warm and the toppings were crisp. Quick service and a clean shop made it even better.

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

“We have started coming to McAlister's Deli more frequently. We are seniors and usually order the Choose 2 off the menu which is just enough for a good lunch choice...a half sandwich and a cup of soup. The ladies who work there are very kind, helpful and respectful. We enjoy the variety of sandwiches offered and the food is great!“

“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“

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

“I recently moved to Wonder Lake and have visited all the Subways in the area. This one is my favorite, especially because of Foram, the young lady who served me. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming, but her smile and personality are the reason I will make this my daily stop. 👍“

“Chipotle #43. Best sandwich I've ever had (cept Portillos of course). They make it fresh and melted and the wait is always minimal. The prices can be a touch much, but join their club and it will even things out. Highly recommended if you've never been. Don't knock it til you try it!“

“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.“

“I had a really great experience at this Subway location. The sandwich was fresh, well-made, and tasted excellent. The store itself was very clean, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable.

What impressed me most was the service — I arrived after 9 PM, but the staff still served me with a smile and didn’t rush at all. It’s always nice to see such dedication to customers, even late in the evening.

Highly recommend this location if you want good food, a clean place, and friendly service!“

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

“Employees very nice and #6 very good.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“This subway has truly opened my eyes to what the most mediocre sandwich on the planet is. The bread was very okay, the meat was really not very flavorful and the enthusiasm of the employee can best be compared to that of a 2x4. Super okay sandwich, perhaps the most average meal of my life.“

“Well this was my first time coming here and let me tell you at first I was a little disappointed because I was expecting to find a witch but instead I found a sandwich it was good thank you who to whoever established this place and call their which witch because I've been searching for the witch“
