26 Best Sandwich Shops near Machesney Park

“I used to be a die hard subway dan, then I wanted a more homemade fresh tasting sub and I was off to find that shop. Visiting many small sub shops to big chain shops, then I was hooked on Jimmy John's for a while till I heard people brag about Jersey Mike's and saw commercials on social media so decides to stop in at my Local Jersey Mike's, the smell was awesome, people were friendly and place was clean, got the original italin with everything on it and man you can see the freshness and quality of the products, my first bite was truly amazing and brought me back to a time back in the late 80's to this small mom and pop sub shop by my house. I found my go to sub shop and I rate Jersey Mike's better than the sub shop currently in operation.“

“There’s something special about a business that makes every customer feel welcome. As a fellow small business owner at Daisy Jean, I recognize the care and consistency that goes into creating that experience. The team at Jimmy John’s always delivers exceptional customer service, and it’s clear they take pride in what they do. Five stars!“

“This location always gets my orders right! The staff is friendly and efficient even during busy times! My order came out quickly and everything was made with great care! The GM of this shop is very nice and helpful!
This is my go-to sandwich location and a very reliable spot! I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I will always remember my mother bringing me here since I was little. The food and service never disappoints and it is nice seeing the owner behind the counter providing outstanding service to the community. For a business that has lasted as long as it has you should be proud of what you have accomplished! Keep up the great work!“

“Triple A service and great sandwich“

“Benn going there for years. Best service and food has been good every time I have ordered. One time I was in a rush and I. Called and asked for couple of footlong to go in like 5 mins. The lady said sure and when I picked up the food and left, I opened my food and it was just perfect. Extra of the things I asked for and it was just perfect.“

“Best Subway I have ever been to. Exceeds all expectations on quality, friendliness and cleanliness. There was a mixup on one of my orders that was my own mistake and they went out of their way to ensure things were done right for me. Left a really good impression on me and I will be going back. <3“

“Great sandwiches, good food , nice people , clean“

“Quick, friendly staff! First visit but certainly not the last! FOOD was phenomenal! Just the right quantities of anything I asked for! Saved half of the sandwich for supper but almost an hour to home. Almost anything could happen to that sandwich right???“

“I’m a regular here, I love the bacon 3 cheese!😍 Everyone’s is usually very friendly also.“

“Stopped in for a breakfast sub. Guy outside the door gave me a friendly “good morning” upon grabbing the door to go in. Ended up just being a customer but that was nice of him. It was only one woman working so a little wait was to be expected. Ordered a breakfast sub and she made it well. Only complaint is the American cheese really dried up in the oven. Probably not her fault and just how the cheese is there. I was treated well and she was friendly. Only downside is it’s connected to a gas station and the parking lot is pretty rough in shape. Place seemed clean and well taken care of inside though.“

“Been to this location twice now and both times have been helped by Anthony. He is always friendly, quick with getting your order, and quick with making your food. He is very efficient. Thank you for your awesome service Anthony! Because of you, this JJs location is now my go to!“

“Surprisingly solid for a Subway. My sandwich actually looked like the ad — which, let’s be real, is a small miracle. The staff was cool, didn’t act like I was asking for the moon when I said “extra pickles,” and actually seemed to care that my order made sense.

The place was clean, bread was fresh, and they didn’t give me that sad handful of lettuce that screams “I hate my job.” Only downside? It took a minute — but hey, if a little extra time means I get a sandwich that doesn’t look like it survived a car crash, I’ll take it.“

“Ordered a ham & cheese sandwich with a few toppings. Sarah, prepared my order, very friendly, outgoing, informative, positive attitude! The sandwich was fresh and prepared exactly as I requested. However, the quality of products used are lackluster, the meats and bread are average at best but not the quality of PotBelly products or Jason's Deli. And the price is no less than highly rated delis.“

“I started going to the subway about a month ago and I must say it has been the best experience I've gatton from any Subway restaurant. The manager was very nice and she even remembered my order I truly enjoy shopping at that restaurant.

Vegetarian options: Anything you want on a sandwich, veggie wise.“
