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

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“

Also, the atmosphere is peak; they have chess! 🙌“

“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!“

“I have been meaning to check this specific spot out for quite a while now, and I am so glad I finally made it happen today. The overall environment is just incredibly pleasant and clearly well taken care of by whoever is in charge. It is a totally stress-free experience that I highly recommend!“

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 recommend everything ! The food is exceptional and delicious .“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“This subway location is top tier! So clean and smells so good. The person who took my order was so friendly and professional. What I like most is that bathrooms are disappearing at many subway locations, but there’s a customer bathroom here on Dempster. I give it 10 stars!!“

“Great experience at Jersey Mike’s Subs! The sandwiches were fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. Nicole, the supervisor, was especially professional and welcoming—she really made a difference. Appreciate the fact that in their busy lunch hours she took my order over the phone 👍Highly recommend!😊Adriana B“

“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.“

“Very good sandwiches 🥪 I have“

“This Subway is superior to others. Very clean and extremely nice owners and employees. The food is always fresh. They care and don’t skimp on ingredients. They will even suggest other possible toppings I didn’t think about. I go out of my way to order from here.“

“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!!!“

“It was the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. The chicken melted in my mouth and the bread crumbled away as I ate it. I devoured it and didn’t leave any crumbs left. It was so clean in the restaurant that I couldn’t even see my reflection on the floor the service there is the best and they are all my best friends.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Like the JM Vegie sub :-)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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 .“

“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.“

“The pancakes are delicious 😋“

“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!“

“I’m surprised to see some of the negative reviews here. Every time I come in the staff is very friendly. They always smile ask for a minute. They make the Best big kahuna sandwich I’ve ever had. Always consistent, and extremely fast. I have always will come back here“

“had a great experience at this Subway location. The two Mexican girls working there were amazing — very friendly, always smiling, and they made the sandwich with real professionalism and care. Honestly, I’ve never seen service like this at Subway before. The owner is very lucky to have such hardworking and positive employees!“

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

“I usually have a good experience at this location, and the rest of the staff — including the manager — are friendly and professional. However, there is one employee (a woman) whose behavior consistently stands out in a negative way.

During my recent visit, I had an issue with a mobile order where I was charged, and I showed proof both from my bank account and the app. Instead of trying to help, she had a very rude and dismissive attitude. She was speaking in Spanish to her coworkers about the situation rather than addressing me directly. When I asked if she spoke English, I was told yes, but she still continued speaking to others instead of communicating with me properly.

What made the situation more frustrating is that I do understand Spanish, and her tone and comments were unprofessional. Once she realized I could understand, her attitude changed and she finally spoke in English and corrected her tone.

Customer service should be respectful and consistent, regardless of the situation. I hope management addresses this, because it does not reflect the otherwise positive experience I’ve had at this location.“

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

“This Subway location is very clean and well organized. The staff, especially the girl working there, are very kind and friendly. I really liked the service. I also noticed that they clean regularly — wiping and keeping everything neat. Great job, I will definitely come back!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Subway. The gentleman who helped me was extremely kind, patient, and professional throughout my visit. He took the time to make sure everything was prepared exactly the way I wanted, and his positive attitude truly made a difference.

It’s always refreshing to receive such friendly customer service from someone who genuinely cares about helping people. The restaurant was welcoming, the service was fast, and the overall experience was excellent.

Thank you for the great service, your kindness and helpfulness did not go unnoticed. I truly appreciate the effort and dedication. Keep up the amazing work!“

“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!!“
