50 Best Sandwich Shops near Prospect Heights

“This is literally the best Subway I've ever been to. Mike is the nicest guy who is always there when I visit. He always remembers my order and will never let me forget the side of giardinara that I always order for my husband. This location also accepts all coupons, regardless of expiration. The actual owner (whose name I forgot - I only met him once) is a very nice guy who explained that his focus is on excellent customer service. Really rare for a fast food franchise owner. Love this place and will go out of my way just for the great service!“

“Delivery was freaky fast...still a little freaked out! How do they do it?“

“Afeera was very helpful and patient, it’s my first time at Charleys and first time in Illinois and I was happily surprised to see a cheesesteak place inside of a Walmart instead of McDonalds, Charley’s was on my radar coming here and being able to get an old school was definitely a good afternoon meal, thank you 🤙🏼“

“Came here for the first time. This is probably one of the best sandwich shops I have ever been to . We were greeted warmly by the cashier . We ordered the TantaCarne sandwich. Which was similar to an Italian . The bread was hot crusty and the meat was fresh topped with arugula. It was a very good size sandwich The sleeper were the pierogis. We ordered the pork veal beef mixed pierogis. It was sooooo good I ordered two to go. The owner came by to check on us to see if everything went well . I cannot say how great this place is . Come you will not be disappointed.“

“Great food. One of my favorite places best sandwich is 5 on rosemary bread.“

“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 work for ALDI corporate, and we've had Rammys cater our team building event in Elk Grove for three years now. Their subs are AMAZING, they are a breeze to work with and so friendly. My group loves the subs, the bread is fresh and don't get me started on the turtle brownies. On a personal note, the tuna sub is superb. Im very picky about tuna salad and I loved every bite. Run, do not walk, to Rammys.“

“I ordered over 250 boxed lunch sandwiches to kick off peak for my building this year. This Arlington Heights location was on time, super friendly and the food was perfectly fresh! This was also ordered to be delivered at 7:30 AM so they accommodated the early time for us - making all of our workers and drivers happy.“

“Chill little place. They know their demographic and location too to have very specific hours, prices are decent if ur looking for something to eat without it being a full course meal. I've had the caprese so far and while it was a little drippy it was good. Seems like you have to avoid the peak hours though because it will get packed so either show up at opening or near closing.“

“Best subs around! They are very delicious and full of meat and veggies! I love this place. Forever a customer!“

“Wonderful Jewish delicatessen specialties! Large portions and the best servers!“

“Gabby is the best, every time I come in here she treats my family and I like we are part of her family. Smilling faces and great attitudes make coming in here a pleasure, even when we are waiting in line. I should have filled one of these surveys out a few visits before.“

“BEST SUBS IN WHEELING HANDS DOWN!
Rammy's isn't just a sandwich shop--it's a masterclass in hospitality.

This delicatessen is a local gem and the epitome of excellence in the food, service, and hospitality industry. The owner, Diana's unwavering commitment to her community and customers, shines in the thoughtful preparation of fresh, high-quality ingredients and attentiveness to customer needs. That's what sets Rammy's apart.

As a family-owned restaurant, their pride in serving the neighborhood is felt in every bite and every interaction. From the juicy, perfectly seasoned beef to the fresh and flavorful tuna, every sub is crafted with care and consistency.

With that said, It's Diana, Grace, and their teams personal approach that truly makes Rammy's special. The unmatched care and consistency. From the beef to the tuna, every bite is fresh, flavorful, and made with pride.

Rammys Subs deserves a Bib Gourmand award for the exceptional food, unbeatable value and hospitality that is second to none!“

“Highly recommend. Food is great. Chicken Caesar Salad, 4 Cheese Sandwich, Iced Tea and the cookie tray we catered was AMAZING. Staff has been so pleasant and knowledgeable. Enjoying our fundraiser to support the students at Conant High School and McAlisters support.“

“I recommend everything ! The food is exceptional and delicious .“

“BEST sub sandwiches, ever!!! Yeah, it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for!“

“Update:
I went a second time to try more things. I wouldn't recommend the potato pancakes. I don't know if it was an off day but the potatoes were dry, like they were left out for too long and then fried.
But the belly lox sandwich was amazing! On the salty side but that's how we like it. It came with a side of potato salad which was also amazing.

Previous review:
The food was good but not great. The bagel and cream cheese were good and standard but the pastrami hash and eggs were okay with not a lot of flavor. I'll definitely go back to try different Bagels and other items.“

“I've never tried Jersey Mike's ever...I was a Jimmy johns and subway person..but after Christina, Charlie and Troy ALWAYS make me and my family's sandwich PERFECT every time!!! They are so nice..its a way better atmosphere than subway and Jimmy John's. SERIOUSLY!!!“

“Nothing!!! This has to be the ABSOLUTE WORST Jersey Mike’s I have ever dealt with!!! Can’t get anyone on the phone to help w a mobile app order……didn’t even get the food we paid for!!!“

“Very good sandwiches 🥪 I have“

“Best soup in northbrook!!!“

“The staff at this Subway restaurant are always very kind and friendly. The owner of this franchise is a very kind and generous person. He is always doing all he can to promote his business and service in the best way possible. I am very glad they are a part of our community here in Elk Grove Village. I always look forward to visiting this establishment.“

“I had an excellent experience thanks to Shital! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and quick while making my order. She paid close attention to every detail, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my sandwich was exactly how I wanted it. Her positive attitude made the whole visit way better than a typical fast-food stop.

If you’re stopping by this Subway, definitely hope you get helped by Shital—she’s awesome at what she does!“

“The place to go when you are shopping at Walmart if you ever get hungry, they have the best sandwiches in town. Are you especially like the subway melt which is ham, turkey, ham, bacon, and probably melted on it and then I had a lot of ingredients. I usually do it with multi Italian bread .“

“This is my son’s favorite subway! It is a family owned business and everyone is Super nice. My son was there today with his friends and he said “the food taste insanely good!” The place got renovated a few months ago so it is clean and updated! By the way this is my son Elliot and him and 4 other of his friends all put reviews today and got a free cookie!“

“Lucas is truly a Sandwich Artist. They went a above and beyond to explain things to me since I hadn't been in and there were a lot of choices. The rest of the team works really well together and it's a nice place. 5/7, perfect score.“

“very good sandwiches and I love sweet tea“

“It’s 1 pm in the afternoon, and it’s quite empty, even though it’s the first day of school at the local district. I can only imagine that other locations would be bustling with students and staff, but this location was quiet and relaxing. Quality stuff!“

“Very good location very clean very nice attended food always fresh like always and definitely was a pretty good place. Very good experience. My ham sandwich specific make the way I want and my wife sandwich specific made the way she wants and definitely we don’t go wrong.“

“The location is fantastic. As soon as you walked in, you could tell it was very clean. The food tasted great and was very fresh. Constant cleaning from cleaning glass, wiping tables, clean bathrooms, and sweeping occurred while I ate here. The service here is also very good and the workers are nice. Everything about it this location is great! Highly recommend.“

“When I saw this deli open I thought, ho hum, just another deli. This is not ‘just another deli’. Selection is great, food has been outstanding. I especially like using their iPhone app. Easy to order and make customizations to your sandwich. I like to substitute the wheat wrap on my Spicy Southwest Chicken. The Chicken Tortilla soup is also fantastic - just enough heat for me. My wife loves the Savannah Chop salad. If you plan to eat in, study the menu before you go. You’ll have a hard time deciding! In my experience the prices for all there items we’ve ordered are reasonable. Example - the Savannah Chop salad was $8.89. Not bad for a large salad with grilled chicken. Support this business because they are a differentiator.“

“I had an outstanding experience at this JM location! The entire crew was super warm and friendly and they made excellent, delicious sandwiches! In a world of diminishing customer service this evening was a throwback to better times. I felt appreciated and well cared for. I will go out of my way to return to this location!“

“was fast and tasty,people were friendly and polite.“

“It's been a while since I came to Jimmy Johns but I'm so glad I did! The sandwich was so good, very fresh and the staff were so nice! They even gave my puppy a treat ☺️ sandwich was ready before I was even done ordering. Super fast.“

“The pancakes are delicious 😋“

“It was a quick order and take away, three sandwiches. There was only one employee, but he was pleasant and worked fast. I had a classic tuna with modifications and it was great. I recommend adding crispy jalapenos to the tuna for that zest and crunch.“

“We ordered two platters for my daughter's birthday and the owner made it very seamless. We ordered over the phone the day before and they had everything ready and correct on time. Definitely plan on reaching out to them again.

Kid-friendliness: Great for birthday parties instead of the typical pizza options“

“Great food and location, love the menu“

“Friendly staff!! The sandwiches are always delicious, especially with hot peppers.“

“There is always a woman and a man there and they are always so nice to my daughter and I. Great service, very patient and polite. We love coming to this location, it’s our favorite!

Kid-friendliness: They have kids meals and even though my daughter actually eats an entire foot long, everyone so always so friendly to us.

Parking: There’s tons of parking.“

“Great food good service and friendly customer service. Clean place“

“My visit was 10/4. Whatever team was working that day, you absolutely rock and management should acknowledge you! I ordered online and was super early. Walked in and sat down and the staff was already dealing with a long line. The lady at the counter went out of her way to come to my table and ask if I had a pickup which I said yes. She printed the ticket asap and the gentleman working the line hand delivered it to me! I’ve never had this service done at a JJ. This team absolutely rocked and you all are appreciated thank you for being a great location!!“

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

“I've gone to this Subway location in the past. They're busy at lunchtime, it seems like they're even busier during the summer. Today they were short staffed, but they were also out of meat for the new italiano sandwiches? And then the guy ahead of me had 3 sandwiches that he needed made custom. How can someone come in at lunchtime and do that. Maybe next time call it in. I waited 15 min to my order in. And the one bathroom has been out of order for at least a month. Corporate or the owner of this location can't get someone to fix the bathroom?“

“Called to check if they have Veggie Patty. Dan picked call and confirmed yes. Later I asked if you accept coupon I have. He asked if digital, I replied NO paper with bar code. He said yes, I placed order over phone. Dan was so professional while taking order and I can see his enthusiasm in his tone. I requested my Coworker to pick. He told me that Subway he visited so far, this one is best with everything fresh and also staff is super awesome“

“It is centrally located and easy to navigate. I love the recent improvements. BUT, the lack of charging stations for cell phones, etc. is frustrating. Outlets throughout gate seating do not work. Also, the drinking water is terrible! Tastes and smells of chlorine. I hope these will be upgraded soon!“

“Like the JM Vegie sub :-)“

“I liked the remodeled look of the subway and I absolutely love the service. As soon as I walk in I get a greeting and a smile from the employee. The food always smells and looks fresh. The bread is super soft as well, other subways have hard or stale bread but not this one. I will be going to this subway in the future and I highly recommend going here for a quick bite to eat.“

“This is the best subway I have ever been to!
I am not sure where these reviews are coming from. The staff are extremely warm and friendly, they were generous with the portions for my sandwich as well. This subway is 1000% better than any in my home state. Don’t hesitate to visit this location. I’ll be back while I’m in town!“

“Bread was tough and chewy. Maybe not fresh. First bread option not available. The lady making it seemed to be having a bad day and not at all friendly or enthusiastic. That same energy led to a sandwich that just wasn't made with love. With so many other eateries around this subway, I would be hesitant to go back“
