Sandwich Shops near Oak Park

“I have not received this great of customer service in the Chicago/Chicagoland area EVER. The server was kind in nature, but what really impressed me was when the kiosk automatically asked for a tip and I payed, he went back and cancelled the transaction so that I would not tip without my knowledgeable consent.“

“I enjoy a Beach Club here about once a month. Staff is always friendly and the facility is always clean. I always take out, I don’t know about their delivery service. Couple parking spots in the back of the building although they’re often full.

Parking: There is typical city street pay parking and a few spots behind jimmy John’s. The spots behind are usually full during busy hours but i get an open spot all the time during non peak hours.

Kid-friendliness: The food and environment are perfect for kids.“

“I had a great experience at this store the other week. The staff took time to make sure my order was right, and they did great keeping up the pace while managing many orders. I believe there was a person named Jessica, who made the experience very memorable and great :) She was very sweet“

“I saw the Choula and Lime ad on social media and came into to have a Philly cheesesteak with that flavoring. Jack who was working during the freezing weather conditions let me know it was only used for a wings rub but said he could try to make it as a cheese steak by mixing butter instead! He was very friendly and accommodating, willing to go above and beyond to help me. They were also closing soon and I was going to take my meal to go but he insisted that my partner and i dined in so the food stayed warm. Absolutely made my night because I got exactly what I wanted and it was a delicious cheesesteak!“

“We had dinner delivered tonight. It came fast and it was hot. We ordered a Cuban sandwich, turkey with bacon, a horseshoe sandwich, Mac and cheese and a kids Dino grilled cheese with the best french fries! We totally recommend TriBecca's Sandwich Shop and give it a 10 plus!“

“Iconic!! Came here in 2009. Great food at a great price! If you come to Chicago, you have to try Jim’s!!“

“Best Sandwiches in Chicago!!!“

“Amazing experience! We had the food truck at our sons birthday party! Not only are they delicious but also amazing customer service!!! They were so nice, engaged with everyone, and my son loved the men working and he’s two so he loved doing fist bumps and they even cut his chicken tenders up for me so they would cool faster. I have nothing but nice words for them! We will definitely be using them again at other parties! Thank you again so much! Also great at communicating!“

“Nick at Jersey Mike’s was awesome today! He had a ton of great recommendations and truly went above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service—not just to me, but to everyone in the store. I originally planned to get my food to go, but because of Nick’s great attitude and service, I decided to dine in instead. Experiences like this are what keep customers coming back. Huge shoutout to Nick!“

“Amazing sandwiches! Had a great experience eating at Lunch Heroes and would recommend to anyone looking for a good sandwich and an even better cause!“

“I come here often for Vietnamese iced coffee and Thai iced tea - they make the best of both of these that I’ve had in the city.

The curry chicken banh mi is very good. The lemongrass chicken though was very dry and could use something to make the bites go down easier, but that’s my one and only complaint about anything from here“

“True European deli with fresh and tasty offerings, great selection of wine, free wine tasting and coffee. The owner and staff are kind and make you feel like family.“

“Cool cafe with a bunch of eclectic nicknacks and wall art. I got the goat cheese crostini which comes with a side of roasted tomato relish. It was good but it didn’t blow my socks off. It almost seemed like it was missing just one extra ingredient or garnish to take it to the next level.

I also got the chicken club and it was good. The star of the sandwich was definitely the bread. You can tell this place knows what they’re doing when it comes to making bread.“

“The food there is delicious, fresh and well worth the money. I had ordered 5 meals from their and the price really was a wonderful surprise. It was a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be. The staff there was very professional and the wait for my food was very fast and accurate. Great food, wonderful employees. I will definitely be eating there again real soon. I will take my son with me because he really loved the food.“

“from out of town and saw great ratings for this place… very sweet family running the place. delicious sandwich, i got the 3 little pigs. said it was my first time there when ordering and the nice lady who took my order catch me before i left and offered me a free shot they do… it was amazing to say the least. will be back when back in town.“

“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.“

“Always good but to be honest my white widow sandwich was not cooked well and I felt uncomfortable with the people working there to ask for a remake even though I liked the vibe it was a little too transparent and I didn’t want to come off as one of those kind of customers. But for price, that chicken could’ve been better cooked. Love the goo balls and other snacks. Bar seats are nice. Not a place to get any work done late at night tho like other sandwich shops.“

“Great food, great service!“

“Great matzo ball soup. Just what the doctor ordered for your poor husband stuck in his hotel room and not feeling well.“

“I go here on Thursdays and it’s sometimes PACKED and being run like the marines by like four dudes who are ungodly amounts of locked in. They proceed to make me a cheesesteak so good I call my friend who lives in Philly and tell him that he’s nothing. I am not usually moved to review food establishments, especially not fast food chains, but I’d be remiss to not to say that this is one of the finest Jersey Mikes I’ve ever been to. If you’re some sort of corporate drone bot at Jersey Mikes LLC farming for something to say about Google reviews at your next meeting, please consider giving the dudes running this store a raise because they’ve simply got it figured out. My favorite is the goth one.“

“one of the best spot in Chicago for a sub sandwich“

“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“

“While waiting for AAA I decided to get something to eat. Walked past Vinnie's and decided to walk in. Before my hand reached the handle I was greeted with the most warming smile from the lady at the counter(who was more than a cashier). Darlene you are a true gem.“

“I love Nonnas so much! I’ve tried their sandwiches and soup and they are delicious! I’ve had the cold cut, the drunken chicken, the kale soup and the tomato soup. The sandwiches are perfectly balanced flavors and textures and the soups have so many layers of flavor! They have gluten free bread that is good and not tiny!! And I called and asked what they have that is gf and they can make most of their sandwiches with grilled chicken instead of breaded (I didn’t miss the breading bc there’s so much flavor) and the soup comes with 2 slices of gf bread in place of their baguette. I get delivery and everything is labeled with a gf allergy sticker. Update: try the different mayos that they have they are amazing!“

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

“Stumbled into this place when Botanical Cafe across the street was closed. Super cute interior with very friendly staff. About half the menu is vegan. I got a salted maple late, which was delicious. I’m excited to try the food once i stop in next! Updated from previous review on 2026-03-10“

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

“Al’s #1 Italian Beef is a true Chicago classic and absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. From the moment you walk in, you can smell the rich aroma of slow-cooked beef and fresh Italian spices that sets the tone for the whole experience.

The star of the show is, of course, the Italian beef sandwich. The meat is incredibly tender, thinly sliced, and packed with flavor. Whether you go sweet peppers, hot giardiniera, or fully dipped, every bite delivers that perfect balance of savory, juicy, and spicy that Chicagoans swear by. The bread holds up surprisingly well despite the juicy goodness, and the portion size is more than satisfying.

Service is quick and efficient, exactly what you want from a classic counter-style spot. The staff keeps things moving even during busy times, and the energy of the place adds to the charm.

If you’re visiting Chicago or even if you’ve lived here your whole life, Al’s is one of those must-have food experiences. It’s messy, it’s flavorful, and it’s unmistakably Chicago. Highly recommend stopping in for an authentic taste of the city.“

“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!“

“Fantastic meal. I got a six inch on multigrain with turkey and cheese that was toasted, and then I had him put the turkey on cold later. They’re not doing that for you at potbelly’s. Go to Jimmy John’s. U see them doing that? No. But this specific Subway did it. Heck yeah! Thank you!“

“Catered subs for event and had hot and cold subs delivered on time and as always delicious! Great service !“

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

“I will drive across the state for the fries with garlic aioli. Yummy!!“

“The dining room was closed but the dude working the whole place was still cool and confidently said it was good. They do bogo burgers in Uber eats which my fat ahh loves so overall good experience as the burger actually was good. Not crazy good but solid. The fries are bomb“

“I’ve been going there for years; since A1 shut down on Clark & Morse, sub brothers have had my roast beef/ corned beef combo, which is tasty. 😋“

“Their tomato bisque soup is the best I’ve had. I shoulda gotten the large. Expected a something red, puréed, and hot to get me through this rainy fall day. It’s creamy, smooth, right amount of cheese and tender veggies to make it a moment. I wanna eat this everyday.

Eggplant parm is also perfect. Crunchy, chewy, hearty, choice of giardiniera, mmm! I’ll try the veggie sub next.

Kind and quick service, and clearly a local institution. Give em your biz.“

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

“Well I took Friday off and made this a bucket list to make a comparison to Old School Manny's deli and cafeteria. Surprisingly the food for their corned beef deli is delicious in another way. Quality was good it's not as greasy or thick as Manny's corned beef which you'll have a food coma if you ate a whole corned beef or pastrami sandwich over there here the way they make their sandwich is similar to Jason's deli if anybody remembers Jason's deli. Jason's deli was not bad but it wasn't greasy if you're the type that likes greasy salty corned beef if it's done right like Manny's then that's what you should go otherwise if you don't like that feel this might not be a restaurant or cafeteria to eat at. The corned beef in regards to quality their Mile high corned beef was light and delicious it's fresh too just like Manny's but not greasy and heavy. I have seen this on Facebook as well and they're Italian versus being a kosher Jewish and they've been around too but not as old as Manny's since they've been around since 1960 whereas Manny's has been around since 1942 and is as old as my parents. Ambience was very casual and friendly it was my first time I had a dress to the cashier it's not really a cafeteria style but you can still sit down and eat I would most likely come back also because of the prices since Manny's tends to be expensive for their sandwiches. This was expensive too but then again I ordered a chili and a tiramisu I was going to get a potato salad just to find out they had soups. If you're around Franklin Park in like Mom and Pop delis this is another good option and don't want to drive to Chicago for Manny's and an alternative to Jason's deli in oakbrook or in Chicago surprise I did not know the other Jason's deli at the four stars. Being an Italian deli it's going to be a bit more limited to certain kosher dishes so don't expect to have knish or matzo ball soup but they will have chicken noodle soup.“

“My daughter had the cheese sticks and fries. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The fries are definitely so good.. my chicken sandwich seemed like it was made sloppy with that lettuce. Just throw it all over there and two pieces of chicken breast. No cheese.
And that was it. The location is decent and the restaurant was clean. 🫶🏿“

“Intergalatic themed cafe serving sandwiches and soups. Great variety of soups (frozen and ready to serve). Try the resurrection chicken soup which is loaded with flavor and spicy (because of the jalapenos). The rueben sandwich was good.

I plan to return try out other sandwiches and soups. Prices were fair relative to portion size.

Service was good, but prepared to wait as nothing was pre-made.“

“Got to take the wife here for the first time! He loved it!!!“

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

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

“It’s unreal how good it is if you have the ability to wait for 5 minutes and my burger lasted for like a minute before I devoured it and it was so delicious I couldn’t even get it out of my brain and my dad proceeded to wolf down his sandwich and you should totally come here if you’re ever in Chicago“

“Dank spot!“

“The service the food are good“

“Italian beef with the hot peppers and meatball sandwich were terrific! If your near Chicago Little Italy grab a sandwich.“

“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“

“Wow! I didn’t know what to expect from the outside, but the restaurant was so clean and smelled so good. I got the gyro sandwich and wanted a healthy dinner, I am so grateful for all the fresh veggies in their salad. Very good meat! I saw other people order a chicken dinner, it looked incredible. It was a lot of food for a very good price. Thank you!“
