50 Best Sandwich Shops near Riverside

“Love this place! Every sandwich is delicious! Plz update your website with a better quality menu. You can’t really read anything on it, your website is great besides that. Every time I’ve ordered it’s been a guessing game, but that’s how I know everything is great!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best sandwiches in Chicagoland! I live 50 minutes from here and I make this commute at least once every 2 weeks to get a sandwich. I started going here almost 20 years ago. Friendly staff, and incredible sandwiches. For the love of god, get the oil!“

“I got a sandwich catering order from Starship, and ordered online a couple of weeks in advance. The order was delivered exactly on time, and was delicious. Catering sandwiches were cut in a great way, small enough where each person could have 2-3 sandwiches. Would recommend!“

“OMG, my sandwich was so good & so fresh. Love the bread! I went to Jimmy John's a couple of weeks ago & there was exactly 1 slice of turkey on my sandwich. Fontano's had 4 times the amount of meat on my sandwich for the same size sandwich.“

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

“Sub-tender use to be the place for a great sub. I've ordered here for a party years ago. Now don't get me wrong, the subs are delicious but id you get more then 3 things slices of meat that's a good day. I know the economy if rough but dang. You better like bread because that's all you really getting $7. I get the turkey combo for 14.00 with tax because I can fill up on the fries 🍟 and soda.“

“Great sandwiches , great home made soups, brick oven pizzas, Gelato, Italian cookies and imported lunch meat. place is fantastic. today I got the pork bracciole on garlic bread with hot giardinaria and provolone. that just might have been thee best sandwich I ever had.“

“LOVE this place 😍...wish they would open one closer to me, I travel 3 hours to get my fix .. probably should move back to the area lol ..so much cheaper than the S-Way place ..and better, always crowded ..“

“I really enjoy the classic philly cheesesteak. Skylar was really nice and asked me whether I wanted a medium or large combo which I appreciated- go big or go home haha. I really enjoy the freshness and the melt in your mouth cheesesteak. It always hits the spot. Can't wait to come back.“

“To be fair, it was about an hour before closing time. However, the older lady was very sweet and made our food very well and it was delicious. Her coworker on the other hand didn't seem to friendly. We wanted to add to our order and she couldn't even be bothered to stop sweeping to come and complete the transaction until the older lady had already finished making the 1st part of the order. I have worked in hospitality all my life. I know how she felt but if she want customers to return and ensure job security for her, she should be a little more friendly and willing to assist.“

“I won't go to any other sub place!
They are always so generous with their servings. Fresh and great taste.
Michael was super friendly.
Just had an overall happiness about him. It's really great to see happy workers makes you want to go back.
To that location.“

“Sure! I had an amazing experience at Mr. Submarine at 8542 Ogden Ave in Lyons, IL. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm, friendly service that made me feel truly welcomed. The staff was attentive, polite, and eager to make sure I had everything I needed, which really stood out.

I ordered a combo sub and a pizza puff, and I have to say, it was exactly what I needed. The food came out fast and fresh, which was a relief since it was the first thing I had eaten all day. The combo sub was packed with flavor, with perfectly sliced meats, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of seasoning. The bread was soft yet sturdy, holding everything together without getting soggy. The pizza puff was crispy, cheesy, and delicious, adding the perfect touch to my meal.

Not only was the food top-notch, but the overall experience was fantastic. The staff really goes the extra mile to ensure customers leave happy, and that level of service is rare to find these days. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re in the area and looking for great food, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Mr. Submarine is the place to go!“

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

“Love this place! Sandwiches are so filling and the flavor from the CBLT was amazing! I can’t wait to come back to try some of the breakfast items too. The cookies also are so carefully crafted and so large they’re easily some of my favorites“

“One of the best sub restaurants on the west side it has the freshest bread not overly covered in semolina or corn meal the ingredients aren’t just tossed on but fresh as well i highly recommend even the Sandwich king Jeff Mauro has claimed it to be the best gum shoe sandwich ever“

“Got a cold sub with toasted bread at the suggestion of the owner and it was delightful. Excellent fries and overall very friendly and fresh.

Vegetarian options: Has a hot veggie sub (not just salad in bread but actual cooked veg. 🤤)“

“There’s nothing quite like an Italian beef from Chicago, so it’s a must-try if you’re new to the city. Al’s is among the many popular spots to get this legendary sandwich, and I thoroughly enjoyed mine. I got the beef and sausage combo with hot giardiniera dipped into the beef gravy. It’s hard to truly encapsulate the experience of biting into your first Italian beef. I’d recommend eating in store because it’s very messy. Even the act of unwrapping your drenched sandwich is captivating. You are greeted with loads of steaming hot roast beef, a behemoth grilled sausage, and classic giard. You have to fully commit to eating this sandwich, accepting the fact that your hands will be just as wet as your sandwich by the time you’re done eating. The meat is so tender and juicy with incredible flavor. The sausage had a satisfying snap and smokiness. The giard was fairly spicy without being overwhelming. The bread is a bit soggy, but after having absorbed all that delicious gravy, it was really flavorful. The Italian beef is a mess, but a beautiful one and serves to prove Chicago’s culinary prestige!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Subway! My order was fresh, made perfectly, and exactly how I wanted it. Bhumi was so kind!!!! The bread was soft, the ingredients tasted super fresh, and the staff was friendly and fast. Everything was packaged neatly and tasted great. Definitely one of the best Subway orders I’ve had — I’ll be ordering again!“

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

“Fresh Fresh Fresh, l got the Philly chicken and bread and all was hot and fresh. I will recommend throw in a FEW FRIES… Very friendly staff a lil wait for the fresh cook to order. Support this location, I would love to see them stick around.“

“I went in just as they opened and the woman who greeted me was warm and welcoming. She answered my questions regarding the menu, it was my first time there so I appreciated her patience. The place is cozy with blackhawks and white Sox stuff on the walls the seating is boothstyle. The menu is diverse. The cheeseburger and fries were very tasty. I would recommend this place to people who like burgers, hotdogs, icecream, and soups.“

“The food is well executed! the owner/chef totally gets it! I a make sure to tip because I feel like most the clientele does not.They have a jimshoe sandwich, it slaps, I’m going to try the fish next time. The bread is ideal for the philly and other sandwiches.However proprietary they may be, the fries are better than fatsos last stand and red hot ranch in my opinion“

“I had a great experience at Subway thanks to Ayesha! She was friendly, attentive, and made my order perfectly. Her positive attitude and quick service really stood out. It’s always nice to be served by someone who genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. Keep up the great work, Ayesha!“

“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.“
