50 Best Sandwich Shops near Lyons

“Sure! I had an amazing experience at Mr. Submarine at 8542 Ogden Ave in Lyons, IL. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly service that made me feel truly welcomed. The staff was attentive, polite, and eager to make sure I had everything I needed, which really stood out.

I ordered a combo sub and a pizza puff, and I have to say, it was exactly what I needed. The food came out fast and fresh, which was a relief since it was the first thing I had eaten all day. The combo sub was packed with flavor, with perfectly sliced meats, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of seasoning. The bread was soft yet sturdy, holding everything together without getting soggy. The pizza puff was crispy, cheesy, and delicious, adding the perfect touch to my meal.

Not only was the food top-notch, but the overall experience was fantastic. The staff really goes the extra mile to ensure customers leave happy, and that level of service is rare to find these days. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re in the area and looking for great food, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Mr. Submarine is the place to go!“

“Always the best!
Today me and my parents ordered 3 sandwiches, 2 potato salads, 2 brownies, 2 drinks and 2 bags of chips. Oh and a pickle. It was all made quickly and correctly, and packed neatly into a box.
I cant remember the girl's name (which I should have asked! I forgot) but she held the door open for me and was very kind. I appreciate everyone who works here, you're all very kind and really really good at your jobs!! I've never seen a better crew.
Not sure how much you all get paid-- regardless of what the amount is, you all deserve a raise.“

“They Philly cheese steaks, so good very good Customer Service they fix your food The way you want to fix . I am a very particular either. I don’t eat at any restaurants. My son told me about them say they fool are so good so I took a chance tonight to try their Philly cheesesteaks when I tell you it was good. It was really good. I would recommend anybody to try their Philly cheesesteaks. I get them 10+10 stars“

“Peppo’s has Guts and was an incredible addition to our block party. Came through for us against all food truck odds! No Guts, No Glory! We’ll be back for another event. Thanks for taking care of our hood! Sandwiches and fixings were a hit. Thank you thank you thank you!“

“I ordered the regular Philly cheesesteak combo with a peach lemonade. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is clean and atmosphere peaceful.

Cheesesteak: Tasty. Sufficient amount of food for the price. I would order again. Now, keep in mind, I am not reviewing its authenticity but taste. There are varying schools of thought on what ingredients should be included on a Philly cheesesteak.

Fries: Fresh and delicious. They literally make perfect fries. I got mine salt-free. Yum.

Lemonade: simply delicious. I usually skip the beverage when ordering a take-out meal. After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try. So glad I did. I don’t care for much sugar and this one was just sublime.

I highly recommend trying this Charley’s. This was my first time and I will certainly be back!“

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

“Stopped by over the weekend for a quick coffee and vegan blueberry muffin. Both were delicious, and everyone extremely welcoming. The owner Mary is wonderful, and she hired a lovely human to take your order. Skip the chains; support your friends & neighbors.“

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

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

“Recently I’ve had the privilege of not only meeting the owner of this establishment but also trying their meatball sandwiches, which is one of their top sellers. First bite, you can tell immediately that this was made with a lot of love and care. It legit felt like a hug from my grandmother every bite. Every part of this sandwich, from the bread to the sauce, and even the meatballs, you can tell that no shortcuts were taken. It’s clearly an artisanal sandwich. By far one of the best meatball sandwiches I’ve had. Even talking with the owner you can tell that he’s proud of his product. His food speaks for itself. Can’t wait to try what else this place has to offer. Keep it up guys!“

“Great place for your favorite sub, mines the Italian for sure! Get yourself in here, you don't know what your missing. I've been coming here for over 35 years, it's a must stop for me , when I come in for a Cubs game from Rockford.

“The subs here are amazing—great cuts of meat, excellent flavor, and overall really high quality. My only complaint is the salad. I ordered one and it was mediocre at best: basically just shredded iceberg with a handful of black olives, a few pickles, and some cucumbers. For nearly $8, it felt like a rip-off considering I could’ve bought a whole bag of shredded iceberg at Juul for about a dollar. Iceberg doesn’t have flavor (it’s basically water), and while their vinaigrettes are delicious, they’d be much better served over a spring mix or microgreens. Bottom line: go here for the subs—the meatballs especially are phenomenal, I’d eat a whole bowl of them with gravy. But skip the salad, it’s not worth it.“

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

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

“Staff has changed over the years and they aren't their strongest right now. Call in orders should be simple but the cashier was very spacey and didn't want to charge me for what all I ordered thank God for the older cooks that kept telling her what I ordered!! And for a pick up it took awhile to just pick it up. Won't be going for a while“

“The buffalo wings were 🔥🔥🔥. I will return.“

“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 ..“

“A lovely downtown sandwich shop. We got an Avocado BLT, Shrimp and Crab Roll, Turkey Club, and a Cubano. Everyone loved their sandwich and enjoyed the ice cream dessert too. Staff was very helpful and I loved the style of the restaurant. Our only critical comment was the turkey club could have used more bacon (which was delicious). We can't wait to come back!“

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

“I cannot say enough good things about this place..was warmly greeted and the restaurant was very clean and well stocked..food was very good, great fries! Very nice experience, will definitely be back .was so impressed with how nice the staff was!“

“A longtime gem. Under newer ownership, the food is just as good as the original. Check out the freezer filled with an assortment of their amazing soups! Service isn't the fastest, but food is prepared as ordered. Decor is fun (Star Trek!), although starting to show its age (the poster of Mr Spock in the ladies room is getting ragged). Parking is a bear, many of the nearby spots must be paid online.“

“Good place all around. If you're looking for a quick bite, this is a good place to stop. There's a big variety in sandwiches and salads to try, and of course there's pizza and panzaroti made in the word fire oven.

We had a sandwich and a salad the first time we went and they were very good. As were the cookies, and lots to choose from. Will have to go back and check their other offerings. It also has a deli counter with cheese and meats.“

“Some locations continue to receive praise for friendly, attentive employees who make efforts to get orders right—even during busy times. Instances of staff remembering repeat customers by name or going the extra mile for large orders were noted“

“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 ..“

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

“First time in Jersey mikes big guy kinda gave me a worry not going to lie but as soon as he started talking to me walking me thru the Jersey mikes experience I was hooked line N sinker. Lol . About a week ago came in and he gave me the best experience while also handling the two other customers behind me with the same great attitude this kid is frightening at first with his size and blank stares at first until you fully come inside the restaurant and he greets you like your the most important person he’s seen all day don’t remember his name but he’s the bigger guy asked me to leave a review about his service and I can say it was very much a great experience wasn’t to happy about pricing but he also insured me I’m paying for quality and man was that number 42 one of the best Philly chickens I’ve had in a while keep up the good work kid and smile a little more“

“Anyone that doesn’t give this legendary sandwich establishment 5 stars is wild. Best Beef I have had so far. The truth is the Chicago beef doesn’t get enough credit. This place does it right. Juicy, fresh and make sure you get it dipped!“

“great sandwiches! I always get the "Wiseguy" ! Fast service and perfectly made subs!“

“Love this place! Sandwiches are so filling and the flavor from the CBLT was amazing! I can’t wait to come back to try some of the breakfast items too. The cookies also are so carefully crafted and so large they’re easily some of my favorites“

“The food is tasty but I was shocked by the quantity of meat in my gyros plate. It was just a gyros sandwich in a container with fries and fixings. Everywhere else I get a gyros plate it has enough meat for 2 or 3 sandwiches.the subs seemed to be lacking meat as well. Again first time getting it there and was just surprised.“

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

“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 ..“

“Been ordering from this location from years since 2015 when I live in the area. Now I order off UberEats because I don’t live in the area. Slightly confuse to the negative reviews. During the years I have receive nothing but great quality fresh sandwiches and salads from this location. Highly recommend people to use this location.“

“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.“

“Mr. Submarine continues to serve up delicious, satisfying food that keeps me coming back. Their subs are consistently fresh, generously portioned, and packed with flavor. Whether I’m ordering a classic Italian, turkey and cheese, or a hot Philly steak, the bread is always soft and fresh, and the ingredients taste high quality. Their fries and sides also hit the spot — crispy, hot, and well-seasoned. It’s clear that the kitchen staff takes pride in preparing solid, reliable meals that deliver on taste every time.

However, the customer service could definitely use improvement. On several visits, I’ve experienced long wait times and a lack of attentiveness from the staff. Orders are sometimes taken with minimal communication or eye contact, and there’s often a sense of being rushed even when the store isn’t busy. It doesn’t ruin the experience, but it does make it feel less welcoming than it could be.

A little extra friendliness and better organization at the front counter would go a long way in making Mr. Submarine a top-tier spot all around. The food already speaks for itself — now it’s time for the customer service to catch up. With a few adjustments, this place could be truly exceptional.“

“EVER SINCE MY COWORKER BROUGHT ME HERE, I DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE FOR SANDWICHES!!! THIS PLACE KNOWS SUBS!! AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE, ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND ALSWAYS HELPFUL WHEN ORDERING FOR LARGE GROUPS. THE GUY THAT MAKES THE SANDWICHES IS A MASTER!!! ALWAYS MADE RIGHT!!! PLUS TRIED THE LASAGNA, MIND BLOWING!!!“

“First visit to this location, this place hasn't been open long just for about 4 months.This location is located in BP gas station, but there is a drive thru.Monday and Tuesday, they have a special on wings nuggets .70 cent. I'm not sure what flavor they have.My grandson and they taste okay. You know, kids, he also ordered their gourmet fries, ranch dressing, cheese, and baconI ordered the fries, but without the bacon.We were both satisfied with our choices.But I must say I was a little taken by the restroom there. You walk in the male urinal to the left and a supposed to be private door for the use of women and kids. That door the lock didn't stay secure. There was no hand soap as well. I had my grandson stand by the door .So this is part of the reason for the 4-star rate.“

“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.“

“This place is a gem. Family-run business. Friendly, personable service. The place is very well-maintained. The layout of the store is very appealing, and the fact of a 24-hour Subway inside a gas station/mini-mart on a busy corner in a hotel zone with neighborhoods nearby makes the place indispensable. Nice selection of basic phone cords and chargers, along with other expected items. The locals I saw coming and going seemed to appreciate it as well. I wish these folks the very best. 5 stars all around…“

“There's Submarine sandwiches are so delicious. I don't know if he was the owner. Very friendly very nice people very clean environment. They got my vote I'm definitely coming back.

Parking: Not bad for parking I parked right out in front.

Wheelchair accessibility: It looks like it's wheelchair assembly“

“Got a cold sub with toasted bread at the suggestion of the owner and it was delightful. Excellent fries and overall very friendly and fresh.

Vegetarian options: Has a hot veggie sub (not just salad in bread but actual cooked veg. 🤤)“

“Philly's Cheese Steak is Fye“

“Came on Christmas Day, lady behind the counter was very kind. Greeted my boyfriend and I right as we walked in. And proceeded to make the most scrumptious, deliciously packed subs. I definitely would recommend.

Parking: Free parking in the back!“

“Bought a chicken sandwich, made me sick, tore up my stomach. Nothing else to eat that day but their sandwich. Had to be spoiled chicken.“
