50 Best Sandwich Shops near Oak Brook

“Stopped for lunch, I had the bacon mac n cheese it was very good! The service was fine. The place was a mess, though! All the tables had dishes from the last people there and were unwashed.The thing is, they weren't busy!Other than that, the food was good.“

“Not gonna lie, I was felt really nervous while waiting in line, check out all that. But my sandwich though. I got the wreck with mustard and italian seasoning (plus a pickle on the side) and I dont know if its because i was starving but THIS IS SO WORTH IT.

IF YOU ARE HUNGRY IN OAKBROOK CENTER, COME HERE.“

“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“

“Great cheesesteak. A nice change from the usual gyro, hotdog, or burger and open late for another option besides Portillos in the area. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the mood for a change like I was!! Would only recommend takeout though…inside is nice but the whole place smells like diesel fuel because of the fuel tanks under ground in the gas station lots surrounding Charley’s….only disappointing take away. I’d get a headache eating inside for sure.

Parking: Only a few spots so take out is a better option.“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“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!“

“Great experience, delicious food , appetizers and desserts. I like the decor in old style . It’s very convenient location , just a few steps from the CTA blue line. German beer is great and a lot of cocktails to choose from. Our Polish waiter Krzys ( Chris ) was very nice and patient . Thank you“

“I’ve been eager to try Mortadeli since it first opened, and after hearing so many rave reviews, I finally had the chance to stop by for lunch yesterday. Let me tell you, everything everyone says about this place is spot on! First off, the food is absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu is so tempting, it was hard to choose, but I went with the meatball sub and pasta salad. As someone whose grandmother made the best meatball sandwiches, my expectations were high – but Mortadeli’s version did not disappoint! It was fantastic. The pasta salad was also amazing, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere at Mortadeli is incredibly inviting – it strikes the perfect balance between classy and cozy. The staff are very friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care about making your experience special. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff and quick delivery of our food. One of the owners even took the time to chat with us a bit. Another pleasant surprise was the parking – I had my doubts at first, but we found a spot just around the corner with no problem at all. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be back. Mortadeli is a must-visit!“

“One of my wife and I’s favorite spots. If you’re in the area, this is a must.“

“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“

“We were at a neighboring business and decided to try this out. What a stroke of luck? This place is great! The menu is divided into 5 sections. Cold Deli, Off the Grill, Create your own Dagwood, Veggie, and Wraps / Salads. I got the grilled Classic Italian on multi grain bread . The bread was substantial to hold up to the meat, but not dry. The sandwich overall was on the messy side, so be ready with some napkins. My brother got the Philly Cheese Steak, we are not from the east coast, so cannot validate the authenticity of the Philly portion of the name but he said it was a darn good sandwich and they did not skimp on the meat. My husband got the cold Ham & Swiss, but the staff offered to serve it hot. We also tried cheese bread with tomato sauce. This was OK. It would have been a fine snack, but the sandwiches turned out to be so big (we each got regular size - the large must be huge!), we really did not need the appetizer. The fries are "fresh-cut," and they really mean it! There is a hopper of russet potatoes (I guess about 50 potatoes) right next to the fryer. We did each have a chocolate chunk cookie (we really only had a bite of it because we were full), they are really spot-on with the "chunk" - the chocolate was substantial peices. A tasty end to the meal.“

“The best subway!!! Their subs tastes better compared to other subway, not only they're behind counter is always clean, the store itself is very clean, and very friendly staff, saroj, vj, bhie, and mega. as well as the owner (chavda) himself.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.
TnT“

“I’ve been coming here weekly for about a year now. Every single time I come here, I can always expect Prince and Ketan, who I see mostly there, always ask how I’m doing and give me the best experience as well as the best food! This is a place I would definitely recommend for people visiting Illinois or for those in the woodridge area!!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“This is a great location and lots of seating inside. Doesn’t feel small like other locations. Super friendly service and as always great food. I plan on patronizing this location again very soon!“

“Stopped by today on a Wednesday evening for the first time ever and I was stunned. Food was super good, fresh and the staff working today (May 14th) was incredible! Me and my girlfriend customized our subs a bit and we didn't have to repeat ourselves once. Place is kept extremely clean and the staff was just impressive. Food quality was top notch and its my new go to place!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Go every time I'm in the area. Grilled pastrami Reuben“

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

“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.“

“Asked for "everything except no mayo" on my sandwich. Poor lady started by putting mayo on it (probably out of habit since most folks want mayo) before realizing her mistake - even before I did. She apologized profusely and had them remake me a sandwich. It was literally the most minor inconvenience in the world that cost me a whopping 2 minutes of added wait time, but they still snuck a free chocolate chip cookie in my bag. Completely unnecessary but much appreciated! Yay for people who actually care about their customers (even though, again, in this case, it barely even qualified as an inconvenience to me, lol). Also the sandwich was delicious!“

“Jersey Mike's -Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. We are super picky about where we get sub sandwiches. Jersey Mike's fits the bill every time. Oakbrook Terrace is our favorite location because of Alicia. The food and smiles she serves is top notch. I'll add some photos in the future but for now, trust me the sandwiches are filled beautifully. Alicia runs the show here from top to bottom. I can't say enough about her fantastic presence. People have unlimited places to purchase sandwiches --- it really helps bring in customers when they can expect to see a long time employee there with such great energy.. We love eating here and I highly recommend.“

“Always fresh, always delicious! The subs here are packed with flavor & quality ingredients. The bread is soft & fresh, & they’re generous with the toppings. Definitely my go-to spot when I’m craving a good sandwich. I got my coworkers hooked on it & now my family too!“

“I love ordering great food from this specific Jimmy Johns because the ingredients taste so fresh and I have always had excellent customer service experiences there. The blonde tall guy with blue eyes who works the front counter has always been hella nice to me ever since i first stepped foot in there, and he's not too bad on the eyes as well, which is a plus ;) I wouldnt mind taking him for a ride on my Ninja 400 some time and maybe taking a trip to another Jimmy Johns store for food! X,D He likes my hat too! :3“

“Great customer service by the people who operate this location, the Moon couple. The lady made the sandwich quickly and really well. They were well stocked on all of the meats and veggies! They had all types of bread available. There is plenty of seating inside if you dine in. I highly recommend this location for your Subway sandwiches.“

“Loving it! Winning big with my favorite Tonya“

“As soon as you walk in, you feel the greatest overwhelming service that the staff provides. The man at the register was kind, funny, and helpful. I haven’t experienced customer service like this in a long time. We walked in during busy lunch time. You can tell he genuinely loves his job and the customers! I wish I would have gotten his name! But kudos to him!“

“I recently started working for the Village of Downers and asked my supervisor for a good chicken salad spot. He recommended Mr. Submarine on Odgen, so I decided to try it out. When I went there around 6 p.m., the night crew was fantastic—professional, quick, and friendly. The salad was just perfect! I’ve been visiting every other day for their salads, and I honestly give the staff a five-star rating — they’re the best! I’ll be stopping by again this Friday to get another salad.“

“We placed an online order through the app but the store was closed. Although it wasn’t fully the fault of the restaurant, the owner made it right. He called me, made the order, and delivered it himself at my convenience. What could have been a bad experience turned into a great one. The sandwiches were amazing. Thank you Bart.“

“Me and my husband always prefer this Subway Store because of the veggies being super fresh here. I always get Veggie Delight 6” which is delicious.

The staff is super nice and warm specially Lokesh. He always makes great Subs. Service is always awesome.

The ambiance is ok. The store is clean and organized. There are plenty of parking spots outside the store.“

“Mr. Sub has always been my favorite! Whenever people ask me why, I can never quite put my finger on it—I just say it’s simply the best. Over the years, I’ve rarely lived close enough to make it a regular stop, but it’s always been worth the drive.

When I was pregnant with my son 35 years ago, I craved submarine sandwiches constantly. Back then, I’d make the trip from Woodridge out to the Berwyn/Cicero or Brookfield locations just to satisfy that craving.

These days, if I’m anywhere near a Mr Submarine, I make it a point to stop. After all this time, my order hasn’t changed: a King size Mr. Sub sandwich (I save the other 1/2 for lunch the next day). The only difference now is I’ve added the garlic-parm fries to the mix—they’re so good we usually eat them in the car on the way back home to Sycamore.

The only thing I would change is to have a location in Sycamore, IL!

Highly, highly recommend. I love Mr. Sub! ❤️“

“I go there with my friends together!!!“

“Staff here is really nice. Plus they make a mean Chipotle cheese steak.“

“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…“

“This is the liveliest Jimmy Johns I have been in. The staff is double awesome!!! I will be back to this location.“

“I dine in this nice place many times a year! This is my favorite spot to pass a nice evening. I go to this spot at least once a month. The meals are fantastic, the staff is friendly and the prices are affordable. I enjoy being in this restaurant for a nice dinner.“

“I don't know why it still amazes me how FUGGIN RUDE most of the TSA people in Chicage are. Pushy, loud, full-on power-trip and terrible attitude. I'd take the time to say something to their leadership if I actually thought they would actually do anything to resolve it. Out of all the airports I come in contact with, Chicago O'Hare is one to avoid.“

“This is my favorite Subway the bread is always fresh the sandwiches are always made perfectly and the guy who makes my sandwich always puts new gloves and washes his hands before putting them on!!!!!!!!! He's the best sandwich maker! Thank you for making my experience there always “

“Quick friendly service to make sub sandwiches just the way you like them. Miss the $5 footlong that now cost $10 or more, but it still is a freshly made good quality sandwiche that fills you up. Place is kept nice and clean with easy to read menu on the wall. Good location near LTHS South Campus so you always see students and staff from school at this location.

“Very courteous service! I walked in to order the #2 Big John Unwich. I was curious about the Skinny Chips. The lady at the register recommended them, and said they taste like the regular chips. They did taste just as good as their regular chips. I do appreciate that she made eye contact, smiled & said thank you! Unfortunately that's something you don't get very often nowadays.“

“Love the food and love the staff even more! I have a meat allergy and always ask them if they could wipe the counter, change their gloves and use a different knife when cutting my sandwich. I'm always so embarrassed to ask but the staff is always so kind about it. They go above and beyond to make sure my food is made correctly. Thank you!“
