I had a build your own. Everything was really fresh and delicious! Great staff! Will definitely be back!“

“while they usually do great I ordered 2 of the big Kahana tubs today. I've never had one but as the sandwich and pictures show, it's not supposed to have lettuce. I had half my teeth removed a few weeks ago and lettuce is just not doable for me. highly disappointed.“

“I haven’t eaten a Quizno’s sub since maybe 2006. I didn’t even know they were still around until I drove past the Barrington location. A very nice lady made my sandwich and the sandwich was SO GOOD! I got the classic Italian on rosemary parm bread. I’ll also add that’s it was very clean inside. Five stars.“

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.

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 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!“

“very friendly fast service, nice atmosphere and always very clean place, food is always great.“

“I always go to this Subway because they remember my order and my name every time I go in. The owners do a great job of keeping the restaurant clean. The veggies are always fresh as well as the bread. This location is much better than the one in Cary.“

“Superb lunch spot with clean spacious booths suitable for conversation. Blissfully no music playing! The food was prepared and brought to our table in 5 minutes. The McAllister club was nice to split with my wife, with fresh ingredients and a sweet sauce with just a hint of spice…mostly mayo but there is something more going on there. Potato salad was fresh…..a little bland but that’s OK. Can’t beat the affordable prices.“

“I had a really great experience at this Subway location. The sandwich was fresh, well-made, and tasted excellent. The store itself was very clean, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable.

What impressed me most was the service — I arrived after 9 PM, but the staff still served me with a smile and didn’t rush at all. It’s always nice to see such dedication to customers, even late in the evening.

Highly recommend this location if you want good food, a clean place, and friendly service!“

“Employees very nice and #6 very good.“

“Great service and staff, very friendly“

“Fantastic job on the $1 Special today! Line kept moving quickly, and workers were pleasant and upbeat (at least while I was there)!“

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

“I visited the Cary Jimmy John’s on Thursday, August 7th, 2025. This was my fourth visit to the Cary JJ’s following my last visit in July but I have always loved this chain of food. My sandwich was really good and it was easy picking it up after work where I just got to enjoy myself and nothing better than JJ’s to do so. I recently joined Freaky Fresh rewards and it is so worth it! The staff were friendly, respectful but soft spoken and good at their job. I am sure I will be back soon! (Written 8-15-25)“

“I love this location this subway is my go to list owner and employees are very friendly but sometime it’s people who are not nice i was enjoying my lunch break and there is a one lady who was complaining about soup I was there I purchased soup also my was so delicious and fresh and she bring her soup back and saying it was water and employee showed her we never put water and then that lady was like I warm up and add some water so I do not understand if you want free food just ask I know this subway people they will happily give you free food but leting people down it’s not good I work in Jewel-Osco I forget my Walt at home and they trust me and offer me a my as usual meal so please people don’t do this this subway employees and owner are nothing but nice.. You guys are amezing and kind you guys are doing really good job you all need appreciation the way you make sandwiches the way your store looks so nice and clean thank you guys ❤️“

“I have always been impressed with the idea of Subway compared to other sub places and thought I would comment on the store. They did a great job, taking my order and smiling and treating me nicely. I appreciate subways in general because you can add whatever ingredients you would like as well as toast it and change all sorts of things about it unlike Jimmy John’s. And your prices are a bit more affordable than the average, but still not cheap. Thanks for being the great place you are.“

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

“The best sandwiches I've ever had! You have to try the Prime BBQ, the wings, and the lemonades—10/10! Excellent service. I recommend taking a good look at the menu before ordering; it's worth seeing all the different sandwiches. The gourmet fries are on another level.“

“My go to is their Italian herb and cheese chicken bacon and ranch footlong. With MissVickie’s jalapeño chips. I also recommend their the ultimate BMT, BLT, rotisserie style chicken and sweet onion teriyaki.For cookies I recommend their Macadamia nut, Raspberry cheesecake and chocolate chip cookies.“

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

“I visited the location on 05/21/26 around the 1:00pm hour and I must admit I actually had a great experience with this particular location. The place was clean, the service was exceptional and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the Jersey Shores sub and it was freshly made and delicious. The best part of the visited and order were those chocolate chip cookies, man are those cookies good. WHO makes those cookies??? Those cookies tasted homemade and were fresh not doughy like some other cookie brands from other sub places.“

“I saw the sign "subway" & my stomach started?️ talking & I smiled ?. I know what that means, it's subway time! So I didn't want to waste a lot of $$ money & got a little bit of everything (6" sub + one ? + cup of soup, a little less than $10 it was). ??“

“Best Panera I’ve ever been to. The owner/manager is always there and you can tell he has a good rapport with the employees. They seem to be happy working there which is reflected in the quality of the food and service. The food is always fresh and hot and the employees are always helpful and friendly“

“Visited this location this evening and had a great experience. The service was amazing, and the gentleman working there was extremely kind, patient, and welcoming. It’s rare to get service like that, and it truly made my night. Will definitely be back.“

“I recommend anyone who loves a good well made sandwich to visit this jimmy johns some of the best costumer service an atmosphere all around!“

“Great sandwiches 🥪 and a very clean place to eat.“

“So when I was younger and you guys first introduced Jared I was motivated I was a fat kid ever since I started eating these $5 footlongs which are like 10 bucks now I can say I've never felt better then I was scared after all the allegations after Jared now I know why he liked the footlongs“

“This is one of the best Subway restaurant locations to go to! They are always friendly, quick, and nice. Even when there’s a long line, they get through it pretty fast. Also, Chetna is great! She always remembers what I get on my sandwiches, which saves me a lot of time for lunch. Thank you for such great service all the time.“

“Liz made our sandwiches perfectly—fresh, accurate, and exactly as ordered. Her attention to detail and positive attitude truly stood out. Especially considering she’s working on a holiday without holiday pay, she absolutely deserves recognition and a raise.“

“Placed two separate online orders for a total of three sandwiches. Arrived to the restaurant early and was greeted by the nice man behind the counter. He verified the names on my orders and was preparing the sandwiches. He was very friendly and pleasant. Sandwiches had plenty packed into them and were delicious. Everything in both orders was correct“

“This Subway is a well oiled machine. The three employees worked together efficiently with a friendly attitude. Unlike many fast food places lately, we felt appreciated by the staff. And the subs were delicious!

Parking: Parking seems tight as the building sits close to the road but there is more parking in the back.“

“I was at this location one time before and I didn't get the Jersey Mike craze. I honestly didn't like it and never went back. I tried it again after my son gave me some of his sandwiche that he had, I was like oh, that's pretty good. So I decided to give it a 2nd try, well let me tell you, Jersey Mikes have redeemed themselves.

I ordered 2 # 43 which is the chipotle Philly cheese steaks on rosemary parmesian bread, one with onion, no peppers, the other with onions and peppers. Even tho they made the order wrong, not sure how that happened, they offered to remake the sandwich (the one missing the peppers)and I thought why waste food and said no. They did make the peppers and put them in a bowl for me. This sandwich is absolutely fantastic. Literally it was so good. The meat wasn't dry or gross, they bread was soft and the chipotle mayo, so good. I will be back to get this sandwich again. Thanks Jersey Mikes for changing my mind about you.“
