“A cool spot to try if you’ve never been. I had the corned beef sub. Staff were nice and the place was busy (which is a good sign)”
“Very professional and kind employees. Fast service and food was excellent! 🎶 Chicago's original submarine, Mr. Submariiiiiine 🎶”
“If you’re in Chicago , try Mr Sub. I am feeling sleepy from getting stuffed up by their king size sandwich. It was cool. Good food, ask for the spicy sauce , comes with Chips and drink. Clean neat place, friendly people here . Give it a shot”
“I haven't had Mr Submarines in years! Maybe 8 years! And while it isnt exactly what I remember, it was still pretty good. The appearance out the outside looks very clean and inviting with a glass window to see into the kitchen. I got there around 1145 on a Thursday and only two people were in line. By the time I ordered, the line was at 12 people. But they get your food out to you very quickly. I ordered my food and the women were so accommodating and polite to me especially when I had questions. I ordered the Value meal #2 with a 7in sub, chips and a Dr Pepper soda as well as a cream of chicken soup. The sub was so fresh with crispy lettuce, their sub sauce and their cheese which is a blend of white American cheddar and Swiss, ugh I have missed this place! The crema of chicken was a little saltier than I'd like but still very good. Overall a great place! Highly recommend!”
“Staff is super friendly and prices are very affordable for lunch downtown. I have never waited more than a few minutes for my order and it is always accurate. They offer a variety of sandwiches and it is always delicious.”
“Right by hotels, good prices, quick service and the meal was great. I would come here regularly if I was by the area. Only issue was cleaning while we were sitting at our table eating - could have waited 10 mins”
“Mr. Subs' "Mr. Sub" sandwich is a monster! This ended up being more than just lunch for me. Looks like I'm taking the second half home!”
“Best sandwich place ever, I got the fully loaded roast beef 12” chips and drink for $14. Picture is of only half. Delicious roast beef and I much prefer the oily deli sauce than mayo. I will be back for sure. They made it in like 2 mins as well and had Apple Pay.”
“Best sandwich place ever. All things are delicious fresh and quick. The line might look long but it moves fast.”
“I stopped by about a year ago while I was Downtown. I picked up 2 Italian beef sandwiches.And man was I satisfied!. Great service,great food!. Can't be beat!. I will return!”
