The wings are also a highlight, with plenty of sauces and seasonings to choose from. The portions are satisfying, and the food is best enjoyed fresh and hot.

“Grabbed 5 boxes for our firehouse lunch today—Italian, ham & cheese, turkey & swiss, chicken parm, and the standout Al Pacino. Sandwiches were fresh, packed with great ingredients, and the 3-inch cuts in boxes of 12 were perfect for sharing a variety. Packaging was flawless. Rosie's Sidekick in Logan Square nailed it—can't wait to order again!“

“Best sandwiches in Chicagoland! I live 50 minutes from here and I make this commute at least once every 2 weeks to get a sandwich. I started going here almost 20 years ago. Friendly staff, and incredible sandwiches. For the love of god, get the oil!“

“I really enjoy the classic philly cheesesteak. Skylar was really nice and asked me whether I wanted a medium or large combo which I appreciated- go big or go home haha. I really enjoy the freshness and the melt in your mouth cheesesteak. It always hits the spot. Can't wait to come back.“

“I got a sandwich catering order from Starship, and ordered online a couple of weeks in advance. The order was delivered exactly on time, and was delicious. Catering sandwiches were cut in a great way, small enough where each person could have 2-3 sandwiches. Would recommend!“

“OMG, my sandwich was so good & so fresh. Love the bread! I went to Jimmy John's a couple of weeks ago & there was exactly 1 slice of turkey on my sandwich. Fontano's had 4 times the amount of meat on my sandwich for the same size sandwich.“

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

“La comida es buena pero son demasiado de lentos 30 min esperando mi orden... ll“

“The customer service left much to be desired. While ordering I almost drove away because the person taking my order was rude. Any question I asked was responded to with attitude and like I was inconvenient for asking.

I’d never been before so I wanted to try a bit of everything. The cheesesteak was delicious. I got the original, knowing that if there was going to be a “best” option, this was it. It didn’t disappoint. It was well cooked, bread wasn’t too soggy, it was cut down the middle for convenience. Perfect amount of cheese, meat, and onions. I also got boneless wings with teriyaki sauce. The wings were a slightly overcooked and hard to bite into and the sauce was way too salty for me (almost like it was too much soy sauce). I got an order of the loaded fries which were messy and delicious.“

“I had a great experience at this Subway location. The staff was welcoming and made sure my order was prepared with care. I really appreciated the quick service, clean environment, and attention to detail when making my sandwich. Everything was fresh, organized, and enjoyable. A great place to stop for a reliable and tasty meal!“

“Jersey Mikes is good. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Manager Felicia is nice. They cook the food fresh and ready to eat and they maintain the restaurant clean. Great sandwiches. Must come back. 10/10
🤩“

“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.“

“Ignore what all the 1 star reviews are saying because this Subway is just as good, if not quicker and cleaner than a lot of other ones I have been too. It’s got plenty of seating, the staff is friendly and quick in preparing the food properly. Great location and have never had an issue with them or the service. Tastes great. Ready quick. Great price.“

“Please support this business!
In September 2025, the longtime owner of Best Sub, 64-year-old Asif Amin Cheema, was detained by federal immigration agents just three minutes from his home during the early days of Operation Midway Blitz. Despite having no criminal record, he was arrested because he had a removal order for a missed court date, something the family says their former immigration lawyer did not tell them about.

in January 2026, he was deported to his native Pakistan after 30 years in the United States, where he raised his five kids. In the months since, the Amins have tried to keep his Best Sub #2 sandwich shop afloat without their patriarch.

Please support this business!“

“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!!!“

“To be fair, it was about an hour before closing time. However, the older lady was very sweet and made our food very well and it was delicious. Her coworker on the other hand didn't seem to friendly. We wanted to add to our order and she couldn't even be bothered to stop sweeping to come and complete the transaction until the older lady had already finished making the 1st part of the order. I have worked in hospitality all my life. I know how she felt but if she want customers to return and ensure job security for her, she should be a little more friendly and willing to assist.“

“Great customer service at this location, only my second time I've visited this particular one, but I'll have to make it a point to stop by more often. The crew gave me a very welcoming vibe. Plus you can't go wrong with the King Roast Beef Hot, with everything, plus chips. Has been my go to ever since I was a child. That was a long time ago! 😅“

“This is now my go to sub place. Super fresh meat and bread. Very clean and the owners are super friendly.“

“I have been going to Mr Sub my entire life. Its my favorite sandwich shop. The quality of their ingredients has always been excellent. Their quality has always remained consistent. Cost have remained reasonable. It's my ride or die sandwich shop.“

“Usually love it, but put Mayo & mustard on the 8 subs I bought when I specifically said NO.... TOO far away to return 😣😢😠“

“One of the best sub restaurants on the west side it has the freshest bread not overly covered in semolina or corn meal the ingredients aren’t just tossed on but fresh as well i highly recommend even the Sandwich king Jeff Mauro has claimed it to be the best gum shoe sandwich ever“

“I was down the Street picking up at load at a Warehouse, got hungry and decided to check this place out, mind you we don’t have this in Rockford. The Food, The Service and the Atmosphere was Fantastic. Definitely will be BACK if I ever have another pick up around here. I had the cold Sub with Garlic Fries and it was 👌👌👌“
