Sandwich Shops near Oakbrook Terrace

“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.“

“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 “

“We recently had a few amazing experiences at Jimmy John's that deserves a 5 star review. We stopped in for a quick sandwich (late dinner) and we were pleasantly greeted by a friendly and welcoming employee named Mike. This location truly lives up to their branding message of serving sandwiches that are "freaky fast."Mike reflected a high level of hospitality and had positive attitude although it was 20 minutes to closing. This was not our first visit to Jimmy John's, and we can confidently say that JJ's employees at this location consistently deliver exceptional service. Thank you!!In addition to the excellent overall service, we also appreciated the cleanliness. It was evident that great effort was put into maintaining a hygienic and pleasant environment for the customers.Lastly, the sandwiches we ordered were truly wonderful. The taste and quality delish! We would like to extend our gratitude to Mike for going beyond ordinary and raising the bar on hospitality. Thank you!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“Detroit native living in Texas I wanted a corned beef sandwich before leaving Chicago. Went in ordered 2 mile high sandwiches for me and my boyfriend before heading to the airport. I wanted to taste the sandwiches to make sure they would hit. I only got corned beef from Detroit and my favorites are from coney islands. We took one bite of this sandwich turned around and got 2 more. The corned beef melts like butter sandwiches are amazing“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“Subs never disappoint, I make it a point to stop here for lunch almost any time I’m in Hinsdale.

Fast service.

Seating is usually limited but did they recently revamp the inside a little.

Parking: Parking lot is a little tight and somewhat limited.“

“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.“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“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!“

“Great lunch spot in downtown Wheaton for a quick bite. The sandwiches are a very good and generous sized. I really like the grinders and panini when I want a hot sandwich. Great service & staff! There is outdoor seating so we can bring our dog when the weather is nice. It can get crowded on weekends around lunchtime, especially in the warmer months.

Parking: Plenty of street parking is available if you can find a spot. During busy times in Wheaton, I recommend the free parking garage, it is centrally located and only minutes walk to any of the attractions. It is maybe a 2 minute walk to the deli.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love eating here! Lots of families visit Shane's because of the very kid friendly menu.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I really like toasted subs, so the food is really good in my opinion. The speed is variable, even when there are not too many people in the store. I recommend ordering ahead on the app and picking up your food to make it faster. The staff are really nice though.“

“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.“

“Always a must stop on my way to or from the Brookfield Zoo. I don't live in the area any more, but when I visit I always try to hit up Mr. Submarine. I don't know what it is, because at face value the ingredients are just OK. But when you get that shredded lettuce soaked with vinegar and oregano, and the not quite sure what kind of cheese it is, mixed with a true sub roll and solid deli meat. It's a beautiful thing. And the grumpy guy behind the counter, he's been there for 30 years. Different faces over the years, but it's the same guy. Just part of the experience. Never change Mr. Submarine.“

“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…“

“Just had lunch at McAlister's Deli in Wheaton. The 4 Cheese Sandwich and the Reuben Sandwich were great, as were the Mac and Cheese and the Cucumber and Tomato Salad. Drinks and cookies as well. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, explained everything, etc. Highly recommend.“

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

“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.“

“Best jimmy John's in the G.H-Bloomingdale area. Consistently well made sandwiches. Fast service.“

“Great location near train station. Fast, freaky service.“

“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!“

“I adore this spot! They provide sensational dishes, they have a nice menu, The chief cook in that place is well trained, I like very much eating all their dishes. The food is consistently tasty, the service towards the clients is efficient. I often go to this restaurant and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend it to all my friends.“

“They are short staffed during this pandemic. Give them a break geez ?“

“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“

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

“Ordered at Villa Park, Illinois, shop one of their big Supreme Meats #4 sandwiches and a traditional Cold Cut Combo. Best part was the fresh bread; Italian herb & cheese and Italian white.

Vegetarian options: Can order veggie-only sandwuches.

Parking: Subway is part of a mini-mart along with a BP gas station and Dunkin Donuts shop.

Wheelchair accessibility: Double-door entry on one-level building.“

“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! ❤️“

“Loving it! Winning big with my favorite Tonya“

“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.“

“As a vegetarian, it is difficult to find a Subway location that, first of all: even offers a veggie patty sandwich.. second: knows how to heat it up correctly.. and third: doesn’t skimp on the fresh ingredients. I make a point to grab a veggie patty sandwich any time I am in the area! I have never had a bad sandwich from this Subway location!“

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

“Great food, Quick service, Fresh ingredients, reasonable prices!!! Quality all around.“

“Really nice interior and overall good service. Nice people working there. However their drink machine was out of a lot of drinks. So I had to spend extra to get another drink from the fridge. Just thought I'd warn you if you come here.“

“Sky I think is her name African American girl was so sweet and amazing. Great service she made our trip!! Mr. Submarine is a drive for my family because we live in the suburbs so no matter what it's a drive to go to any location but this is by far my favorite one and experience because of her. She's a sweetheart!!!“

“I had the pleasure of stopping by this location today. I was immediately greeted upon entering by a very friendly voice, welcoming me in! The gentleman that took my order was extremely professional, and just overall did a great job. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and I could tell that everyone that was working there enjoyed their jobs, they were in sync, 100%, an absolute well oiled machine, which comes from management and trickles down to the employees. Thank you to all of you at this location, I definitely will be back next time. I’m in the area.👍💯💯“

“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!“

“In short- I was so impressed and happy with Rishi (forgive me if the spelling is incorrect) and the food that I felt compelled to tip him 20% and leave a 5 star review.

It's been years since I was last excited to eat a Subway sandwich, and I actually order them on a semi-regular basis.
More often than not, the worker making the sandwich doesn't care.
You're given bread that is hard as a rock or so stale, that you can just chip the outer layer off. I've learned that asking Subway workers how fresh the bread is can sometimes lead to a poorer attitude as a result of taking offense to the question. Funny enough, if you're honest with me about it, I will continue ordering from your location specifically, but I digress.
The veggies (primarily the tomatoes) are usually gross or mealy and are accidentally dropped into/left in different trays.
The workers have a tendency to either overload the toppings or not listen.
They assume you want a commonly requested item (being that I hate lettuce, it can be very frustrating when I/they have to pick lettuce pieces out).
They also tend to assemble the sandwiches in a way that puts all of the ingredients right down the crevice of the sandwich, which then forces me to annoyingly have to reassemble it when all is said and done. Nobody wants all of the ingrdients folded over each other along that stupid crevice. It causes double the amount of everything on one side and nothing on the other.

The usual assemblage drives me BONKERS, and the ongoing rebuttal I receive for asking if the bread is fresh is beyond frustrating.

Cue Rishi.
He was fast and efficient, yet delicate and attentive. Provided perfectly fresh, soft bread - which he cut evenly down the side. Assembled the damn sandwich the way it should always be assembled - ingredients added down the flat side of the sandwich, with perfect amounts and spacing between everything. All of the veggies and meats not only looked fresh but actually tasted fresh and yummy (including the tomatoes!). The sandwich making counter and the register areas were clean, as was the whole of the inside. The trays holding the meats, cheeses, and veggies were clean and organized - everything was where it belonged and showed no signs of any veggies accidentally being dropped and left in other veggie trays.

All in all, give this dude a raise because he is a rarity.“
