Definitely worth going to check out Once you try it, I’m sure you’ll be back😂 I would include a picture, but I usually devour everything within the first three minutes…“

“One of my wife and I’s favorite spots. If you’re in the area, this is a must.“

“This place has pepper/egg sandwiches every day of the week during lent season. 👏👏👏😍😍😍“

“The food is delicious here! The only thing is that the prices are high. It cost me $50 for myself and 2 kids to eat here. It also looks like this place is located in a gas station due to its location but would highly recommend visiting here!“

“I’ve been eager to try Mortadeli since it first opened, and after hearing so many rave reviews, I finally had the chance to stop by for lunch yesterday. Let me tell you, everything everyone says about this place is spot on! First off, the food is absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu is so tempting, it was hard to choose, but I went with the meatball sub and pasta salad. As someone whose grandmother made the best meatball sandwiches, my expectations were high – but Mortadeli’s version did not disappoint! It was fantastic. The pasta salad was also amazing, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere at Mortadeli is incredibly inviting – it strikes the perfect balance between classy and cozy. The staff are very friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care about making your experience special. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff and quick delivery of our food. One of the owners even took the time to chat with us a bit. Another pleasant surprise was the parking – I had my doubts at first, but we found a spot just around the corner with no problem at all. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be back. Mortadeli is a must-visit!“

“The food there is delicious, fresh and well worth the money. I had ordered 5 meals from their and the price really was a wonderful surprise. It was a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be. The staff there was very professional and the wait for my food was very fast and accurate. Great food, wonderful employees. I will definitely be eating there again real soon. I will take my son with me because he really loved the food.“

“always fresh food and friendly customer servers. yummmy food“

“Peppo's came through for our unit when we needed to feed an entire squad! This was our first time with Peppo's and it was great! We definitely will be ordering from here again.“

“The best subway!!! Their subs tastes better compared to other subway, not only they're behind counter is always clean, the store itself is very clean, and very friendly staff, saroj, vj, bhie, and mega. as well as the owner (chavda) himself.“

“It's my neighborhood go to. I ate dinner from their last night 🌉. Their food is so good and the service is cool. It's like I know them all, I only be going to Sub Tender for 20 plus years, and I still enjoy it. Thank Sub T. Looking forward to my chocolate & banana 🍌 shakes“

“stopped in from the rain and grabbed a mini beef and fries...7.95...great price. beef sandwich is exactly what you want from a local beef joint. great casual service. Sox game on....(rain delay lol) I just got into town from Florida and after you leave midway it's about a 15 minute drive...awesome location in a great area! 👍 👌 Thanks for the great experience Beefys!“

“just had dinner at this location, used the restroom and a cockroach came crawling under the door the size of a coin dollar & i have a video of it for those who dont believe me. i will not be coming back my stomach is turned upside down & i feel so sick right now.“

“Food is always made right and nearly. I appreciate a cleanly made sandwich. Some other subways or sandwich restaurants more of the toppings and sauces end up all over the wrapping but not here! Very clean, good presentation, and within a couple visits they remember your name and welcome you in.“

“EVER SINCE MY COWORKER BROUGHT ME HERE, I DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE FOR SANDWICHES!!! THIS PLACE KNOWS SUBS!! AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK THERE, ALWAYS FRIENDLY AND ALSWAYS HELPFUL WHEN ORDERING FOR LARGE GROUPS. THE GUY THAT MAKES THE SANDWICHES IS A MASTER!!! ALWAYS MADE RIGHT!!! PLUS TRIED THE LASAGNA, MIND BLOWING!!!“

“Sam runs an amazing place! Super friendly, and the subs are PHENOMENAL!“

“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 ..“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Starship sub was solid and perfect for the heat. Place has that classic old-school sci-fi vibe with Trek stuff on the walls (spotted a Picard pic that looked signed). Food hit the spot, service was fine. Not mind-blowing but a fun random stop while wandering the area. Worth checking off the map.“

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

“Had a really great experience at Subway! 🥪❤ The food was fresh, delicious, and made exactly the way I wanted. Jenson was especially kind and helpful—he prepared my order with a big smile and made the whole experience so pleasant. Excellent service and delicious food! Thank you, Jenson! 💗“

“I stopped by today, and the folks there were so nice. The sandwich I got was great too. I'm looking forward to a return visit sometime.“

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

“This is a great location and lots of seating inside. Doesn’t feel small like other locations. Super friendly service and as always great food. I plan on patronizing this location again very soon!“

“It’s such a refreshing thing to be able to come into a store and receive such professionalism especially in a day where sometimes customer service can seem to be a lost art to some. Thank you Subway for still caring for things that matter the most, people.“

“I had a great experience at this Subway location. The staff was welcoming and made sure my order was prepared with care. I really appreciated the quick service, clean environment, and attention to detail when making my sandwich. Everything was fresh, organized, and enjoyable. A great place to stop for a reliable and tasty meal!“

“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!“

“The customer service left much to be desired. While ordering I almost drove away because the person taking my order was rude. Any question I asked was responded to with attitude and like I was inconvenient for asking.

I’d never been before so I wanted to try a bit of everything. The cheesesteak was delicious. I got the original, knowing that if there was going to be a “best” option, this was it. It didn’t disappoint. It was well cooked, bread wasn’t too soggy, it was cut down the middle for convenience. Perfect amount of cheese, meat, and onions. I also got boneless wings with teriyaki sauce. The wings were a slightly overcooked and hard to bite into and the sauce was way too salty for me (almost like it was too much soy sauce). I got an order of the loaded fries which were messy and delicious.“

“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“

“Was looking online to see what time they’re open until nowadays and read a good review on a chicken pita so I came and I tried it and it was delicious😋 I wish I took a picture instead of recording a video..! It was so good and colorful. The soup was really good too! I was a little scared to come at first because it was so close to closing time but I immediately felt reassured as soon as the man came on the speaker to take my order! The owner was in the drive-thru and he was nice, the food was fresh (bread was still soft close to midnight) you can tell he really cares about his restaurant!!! Thank you!“

“This subway is right around the corner from my house and every single time I pick up or come in to order, the people working are always so kind and make my sandwiches how I want them!! Tonight, there were two women working, both very sweet and kind, and they were very attentive even though they were busy! I appreciate them, please be kind when you eat there. :)“

“The staff was wonderful! The kind lady taking my order was very thorough in getting the details of the order right and the staff behind the counter in the kitchen made my sandwich amazing. They brought my sandwich dreams to life and made the rainy day bright again!“

“I go there with my friends together!!!“

“I recently came in to get a sandwich and had an amazing experience. I got a hot sub and it tasted great. I believe it was the 43, it was very clean in there as well and the service was great all the employees behind the counter were super nice, I will definitely be coming back!“

“On my mother, on my father, on my wife, on our mini-schnauzer, on everything that is holy, the Tarantino sandwich is the greatest sandwich on God's green Earth that I have ever had the privilege of trying. Kudos to the sandwich maker, every single ingredient compliments each other like there's a big bang taking place in your mouth.“

“I love this location in NorthRiverside, the place was very clean and the crew was welcoming. I want to give a shout out to jeniah she helped me with my order and it was delicious! I will be coming to visit again. I appreciate the customer service it was fantastic! Keep up the good work jersey mikes!“

“Always fresh, always delicious! The subs here are packed with flavor & quality ingredients. The bread is soft & fresh, & they’re generous with the toppings. Definitely my go-to spot when I’m craving a good sandwich. I got my coworkers hooked on it & now my family too!“

“Stopped there this evening to use my gift cards. Very friendly and nice. Ordered the cheesy garlic steak. It was good, got it toasted. Grateful for the discount I was given. Very nice thing to do for these times! Going to pay it forward somehow. Nice place to eat in as well.“

“I have been going to Mr Sub my entire life. Its my favorite sandwich shop. The quality of their ingredients has always been excellent. Their quality has always remained consistent. Cost have remained reasonable. It's my ride or die sandwich shop.“

“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 dine in this nice place many times a year! This is my favorite spot to pass a nice evening. I go to this spot at least once a month. The meals are fantastic, the staff is friendly and the prices are affordable. I enjoy being in this restaurant for a nice dinner.“

“I had a bad experience with a different Jersey Mike's with customer service, liking the sandwich I went to this location. Everything was excellent. This will be my new store. Connor and his crew were great.“

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

“Better sandwiches than Subway Jimmy John’s and another places 🤤“

“Great customer service at this location, only my second time I've visited this particular one, but I'll have to make it a point to stop by more often. The crew gave me a very welcoming vibe. Plus you can't go wrong with the King Roast Beef Hot, with everything, plus chips. Has been my go to ever since I was a child. That was a long time ago! 😅“
