50 Best Sandwich Shops near Prospect Heights

“This is the best subway in Illinois. The workers always have a smile, every single time I walk in. They make the sandwiches with love, and make sure you get a healthy amount of any ingredient you get, they don’t cheap out like some other fast food places!“

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

“I was coming into Walmart to purchase some juice when I noticed Charley’s Cheesesteak inside. It was lunchtime so I decided to grab a bite to eat. I was greeted by Afeera and she so kind and helpful. I was undecided on what to get to so she gave me suggestions. The food was great. It was very hot and fresh. I will be returning again. Also, I download the app and was able to get points for my purchase and a deal on meal. Great job Charley’s Cheesesteak“

“This is a place for people who appreciate quality ingredients and aren't looking for a 'grab n' go' type deli. The prices might seem high if you'reused to large franchise type delis, but these are not small sandwiches and can definitely be shared or have for multiple days. The menu is focused on European style sandwiches that are each unique and delicious. This is the place to try if you have a hankering for a good deli sandwich!“

“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“

“Food is very tasty and of premium quality and the staff are very friendly it is not regualr sandwich shop like subway and many other's... you taste it defiantly you come back for sure .

Moreover the place is super clean where we can come along with kids and friends
Definitely I come back foh sure.“

“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.“

“Had no idea this gem existed until today! Looking for somewhere to get a quick sandwich, specifically wanted a panini, and this did not disappoint! My husband got the Cuban which he really enjoyed. I had a build your own. Everything was really fresh and delicious! Great staff! Will definitely be back!“

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

“I ordered this afternoon.. A Ruben sandwich and some sides. Your restaurant never disappoints..always top notch! Fresh and delicious… great portions. AND so affordable! Mary Ann Gasbarra“

“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.“

“Amazing customer service! Shital was so sweet and easy going. She made my sandwich perfectly and definitely made my experience memorable. I can’t wait to come by on my work breaks more often for more delicious footlongs and great hospitality from Shital.“

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.

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.“

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

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I love this Subway because the staff is always friendly, making every visit a pleasant experience. They’re quick to greet you with a smile and are always helpful when it comes to customizing your order just the way you like it.

The food is consistently fresh, from the crisp vegetables to the soft, flavorful bread. You can really tell the difference in quality, and it makes the sandwiches taste even better. I appreciate the variety of options—whether I’m in the mood for something light or more filling, there’s always something that suits my cravings.“

“I been coming to this location a lot and I’m impressed with the constancy of the service. Staff is super friendly and the actual sandwich itself is always made the same way every time, unlike other sandwich spots. Thanks for all your hard work, Staff!“

“Best soup in northbrook!!!“

“Very good sandwiches 🥪 I have“

“I came into the shop with two adults with special needs. One of the owners took our orders. I forgot to ask her, her name. She took the time to ask the individuals I was with about what kind of meat they liked. She asked them if they liked pepperoni? They do. She suggested a sandwich for them, and they both said yes. She asked them if they wanted their sandwiches toasted, then she said do you want your sandwiches hot or cold. The individual understood her verbiage, and said hot, and the other individual said cold. She pointed to all the toppings that could go on their sandwiches. She did this one by one, and the individuals had the choice to what they wanted on their sandwich, instead of not having a choice. They both ordered chips, cookies, and a drink. She went to the fountain machine with their cups, and pointed out to each of the selection of soda’s. Again, giving them a choice. She even asked if they wanted ice, she took the time to fill up the drinks for them, and brought their drinks to where we were sitting. She even helped bring them their sandwich’s to the table. The individuals wanted chocolate chip cookies, but they were not done yet. She told us, it was going to take 20 minutes to be done, and asked us if we wanted to wait for them? When they were done, she brought them to us. I didn’t get a chocolate chip cookie, but she gave me a free one. I thanked her for her big heart, her kindness. I thought she didn’t look at the individuals as less than human, or stare at them like they were different. I gave her a side hug. She left out, and another staff member asked us how everyone was doing? I told him about how pleased I was with the owner. He told me he was the owner too, and that was his wife. I thought how amazing for a husband and wife to be so loving! His name is Monty. I will never forget how the individuals felt, and how I felt with the amount of patience and kindness coming from them, because honestly, I feel you always remember how someone made you feel, and I feel with the way the world is now, and for Monty and his wife to go above and beyond with no hesitation, says a lot about this store. Even their son was sitting at one of the tables, talking with another customer. He seemed so polite from what I observed. I am a loyal person, and I live in Palatine, and I love subway. Honestly, I’m not going to go to another subway restaurant. The store was very clean, and they bathroom were spotless. I could tell they took pride in their work and their store, just to show me how much they appreciated their customers. Monty and his wife lol thank you so much. The one individual, kept asking me yesterday when we got back to their house, if I left the review yet, and asked what I was going to say? 🥰❤️ I would have given them a trillion stars if that was an option. 🤣 Thank you and please don’t hesitate to go to this subway“

“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!“

“This is the best experience you can have. The people who work there are great! They even asked how my day was going! Good is always on point. Highly recommend.
I had a terrible experience at the Jerseys Mikes in Willmette. The guy who works the grill is rude and obnoxious.“

“very good sandwiches and I love sweet tea“

“I recently ordered from Potbelly and had an interesting experience that turned out quite positive! Initially, I thought I was ordering a delicious sandwich but opened my order to find it mostly meat. It was a learning moment for me, as I realized I needed to add the extras!

I also mistakenly opened a salad instead of just the sandwich, which made my bill seem a bit higher than expected. When I reached out to the manager to clarify the situation, they were incredibly understanding and took care of everything promptly.

I genuinely appreciate the excellent customer service at this location. I highly recommend Potbelly—100%! I look forward to supporting them again, and I encourage everyone else to give them a try as well. Great food and fantastic service!“

“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.“

“Very nice people running the show here. Super clean and newly renovated. I like that this location is punching above its weight with service and selection. I also appreciate that it doesn’t cast me $20 to have lunch here, compared to other healthy options.

Keep up the good work in the neighborhood!!“

“I’ve been coming to this Subway pretty often and it’s easily one of the best locations around. The guy working there is always cool, welcoming, and makes the experience better every time I stop in.

The whole staff is consistently friendly and respectful, and you can tell they actually care about the customers. Service is always quick, and my food is made exactly how I want it every single time.

It’s rare to find a place this consistent. Definitely my go-to Subway and I’ll keep coming back for sure.“

“The pancakes are delicious 😋“

“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 .“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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?“

“Great food and location, love the menu“

“Good grub men excellent sandwiches 🥪 we go there often also love the soups and the their great employees thank you so much.“

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

“Like the JM Vegie sub :-)“

“I’ve eaten at a lot of Subways across the country, but this one? This one is different. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a level of warmth and hospitality that you just don’t expect from a sandwich shop. The staff here actually care they remember regulars, they’re generous with the toppings, and they make your sandwich like it’s the only one they’re making all day.
The bread is always fresh, never stale, and toasted to perfection. I got the Italian bread with tuna, American cheese, lettuce, cucumbers and tuna. I’m not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and everything was put together with care.
What really sets this location apart is the consistency. Every single time I come in, the quality is the same. No off days, no shortcuts. The place is always clean, the line moves fast, and the vibe is just genuinely good. You can tell the people running this spot take pride in what they do.
I’ve recommended this Subway to friends, family, and honestly anyone who will listen. If you’re in the area and you pass this place up, you’re making a mistake. Hands down the best Subway in the country and I’ll die on that hill.“

“Tony is the only reason any Subway has ever gotten a review from me. When we're in the area again, I will be calling ahead to see if he is on the clock and if he is, we'll be stopping by. He made our visit absolutely delightful and was the favorite part of my daughter's day.“

“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.“

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

“I ordered a toasted sandwich the JJBLT with added cheddar cheese no mayo with Italian dressing the ⌛ was cold and when I asked the young lady making the sandwichs had rolled her eyes when I asked about toasted it so I said never mind I will toast it when I get home“
