For what this place is it's hard to find a sub place that is better. The people that work there are always nice & the food is excellent. I go here all the time for lunch.

O.M.G. About time we got one in the westeren burbs. Good food and a staff. Parking is easy and they are open late.
(5)David C.
They always give you a lot of food for the money. I still have quite a few sandwiches to try from here but so far so good. They taste great and when you get a gyros look out! They pile on the meat. That is definitely a bargain considering the portion size. I am looking forward to what other gems this place has in store.
(4)Ashley E.
My fiance and I love this place! We are there nearly every week. You get a good bang for your buck and the food is pretty good. They have the best dipped italian beef I have ever tasted! Plus, they have RC Cola! Can't go wrong.
(5)Ece A.
Welcome to DG, Mr Sub!!! Great food and friendly customer service! I'm a big fan of their subs and italian beef. If you want an alternative to the sanwiches, check out their chopped salad! you won't be disappointed.
(5)Amanda W.
I came here on my break, wasn't expecting much at all. I was very impressed with their big menu and selection of subs. I ordered a gyro sub and some breaded mushrooms. My order came out very fast, and the sub was awesome! Their cucumber sauce was very creamy and garlicy. The meat was tender and juicy. The batter mushrooms were very good as well, not soggy or tasteless. My husband had a turkey sub with crispy bacon and he really loved it as well. I am looking forward to going back and trying some of their other menu items!

I had a party this past weekend. You may have heard. It was kind of a big deal. The after-party was at Mr. Submarine. I wasn't invited. No, I'm kidding. But three of my friends, and party guests ended up here after the party for some late night grubbin' and after seeing their social media pix, I needed to try it and needed to try it right quick. And after not getting to bed til about 4 a.m. the previous night, I'd decided I wasn't doing anything that didn't occur in pajamas. Thankfully Mr. Submarine has a pretty loose dress code (and also a drive-thru). Being my first time, I just ordered a regular old Mr. Submarine combo. They didn't have Coke or Pepsi products, but some off brand that tasted terrible. The sub itself was okay. Nothing really special. I asked to have it warm, but the cheese was still cold and unmelted when I bit into it so I guess warmed means warm meat? Not a fan. Fries were average and fine. Service was good. I waited, but not an obscene length of time. I think I'd definitely give them another try, but it's not going to be something I'm too excited to try again immediately.

This place is absolutely amazing! Great service and even better sandwiches. I live in Elgin, and the drive is well worth it!!!
(5)Michael S.
Im a Super Sub guy. I can't resist stopping in for one a few times a month. Good subs at a very reasonable price.

Yay, Mr. Submarine! I used to frequent the one in Berwyn, as I spent a good portion of my twenties in the area. Since then, it had been quite a long time since I had one of their sandwiches, and one day the craving hit. No way I was going to drive to boofoo for one, and I was excited to see this location in DG. Without hesitation, I trucked on over. This location has a drive-thru, but I opted to go inside, as I knew I'd need a few minutes to look over the menu. I'm not one of those morons that pulls up in a drive-thru and sits there for five minutes deciding on my order. If you can't commit to your meal in under thirty seconds, go inside folks. Don't make the people behind you wait forever just because you're indecisive. I ordered a regular Mr. Sub with everything, and added hot giardiniera as well. I also opted for a side of Mac & Cheese Bites. The cashier was friendly, but between orders, she'd flirt with her coworkers and have personal conversations that patrons could obviously hear. It was a bit awkward, as there were only 3 others in the restaurant besides myself, so you could hear every word. Finally my order was ready, so I grabbed my food and made my way outside. First I checked out the Mac & Cheese Bites. Reminiscent of the Arby's "Mac & Cheesers" (yeah, remember them), they were hot and gooey. A side of Ranch is included for dipping. The sub was great. Just as greasy as I remember from ordering them at 3 a.m. after a night out in the bars. The addition of the hot giardiniera was the perfect accompaniment to the meats and veggies on the sub. The only part I forgot about these subs are that they look deceiving. I was only able to make it half way through my sandwich before I was full, and I didn't even get the "King" size. I wrapped up the other half to save for later. I'm so glad there's a Mr. Submarine in the area. Next time the craving hits, I will certainly make the short trek back here.

I love you Mr. Submarine. I really do. I love that you were born and raised in Chicago. I love your sauce. Yes, I really do. I love the bread you use. Yep, it's Chicago's very own...Turano bread company. I've been to lots of Mr. Subs...yep I get around...Lincoln Park, the Loop, Lyons, Brookfield, Berwyn and Downers Grove. The DG location has a drive-thru window. Yee ha, how cool is that? You can't go wrong with any of their subs or salads. My favorites are the veg, gyro, super sub and pastrami. Their garlic fries are legit. Hell, I love everything Mr. Sub serves me! You know what? I think Mr. Submarine could kick Jimmy Johns, Mr. Potbelly and Jersey Mike's asses down! Yep, Mr. Sub is my man. My big, strong man. You will not find a better sub for a better price in the Chicago area. Plus, all locations are open super late and remember this one has a drive-thru. Props to the super nice staff here. Everyone I've met is nice, competent and appear to have fun working here. I love you Mr. Submarine. Please marry me and make me proper.
(5)Joey R.
Stop going to Subway because of this place and they're real subs real cut me real cut lettuce on real baked bread great subs great place gotta go
(5)Gemma K.
Thanks Mr. Submarine for lining me up with a pretty jazzy Veggie sub, on authentic Turano bread. Sure, my usual selection comes with what you might expect, but the kick to this Sammie is the green and banana peppers that go along with it. Although I stick with the tried and true, they also have quite a few sub options; drink and choice of chips follow along and Mr. Submarine offers a two for $5 special pretty routinely. What I also found was that here, two halves really do make a whole. My sub was so packed I took half home. I also like this particular spot because the turn over of ingredients is excellent and the guys at the window are friendly and fast, almost to the point of superhero status. Thanks guys!
(4)Jenni E.
Something happened at this location of Mr. Submarine that has never, ever happened to me at any other Mr. Submarine ever. I threw out the other half of my sandwich. I always get a king size roast beef sandwich because it is the best. I can never eat all of it, but that is okay because I always save the other half for the next day and it is just as good. I stopped in for my favorite sandwich about a week ago and got my usual. It didn't taste good from the beginning. The bread was obviously stale which has never happened at any Mr. Sub that I have ever been to no matter what day or time I have eaten before. Also, the lettuce tasted like maybe it had been frozen before. It tasted like water and made my sandwich kind of taste like water too. I was so unimpressed with the first half of this sandwich that I just tossed the other half knowing that I wouldn't eat it the next day. This location should take note of how the other locations run things. Any location that you go to in the city or even the one in Lyons has phenomenal sandwiches. It is great that we can have this in the burbs, but not if it doesn't come close to the original.
(2)Heather P.
Decided to drive over to Mr Submarine today. Just as I remembered it from my childhood. Service was ok, other than not being able to understand the drive thru attendant.
(3)Rod G.
Yes, 5 stars for a sub sandwich joint. Mr. Sub has been my favorite sub place since 1989, when I had it at Western and 103rd Street in Beverly. I've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. The best thing on their menu is the gyro sub, which beats the crap out of traditional gyro places. This is also one of the few places to have RC on fountain. I'm sold.
(5)Jarret T.
Have always loved the bbq roast beef. Have been eating them for years. Went in to this location today and ordered my usual watching the guy pit the bbq sauce on i asked him what that was and apparently they switched from the original sauce to crappy sweet baby rays. Got home and ate it anyway and let me tell u it was terrible and the roast beef didn't taste very good either.so until they change it back I will not be going there.guess it's back to making the trip to Lyons.

Best Sub chain Well, mom-and-pop's are local with limited hours, but this place has locations with late hours. Between the quality of bread and quantity of meat between 'em, this place is worth the trip. Comparing to other chains: Jimmy John's - Too expensive Quizno's - If you can find one, even then the subs are too thin and stale after running through the conveyor belt toaster oven Pork Belly(or whatever their name is) - Brown-bagged subs are thin and almost resemble what you find at a local Jewel bakery section with one of those ready-made rip-off ones. Corner Bakery - Is more of a sit-down place than a take-out, that is if you do not mind paying at least $10+/order with chips and a drink Go Roma - Only if you live up in the Northshore, and even then is more of a fake Italian cuisine type New Jersey Mike's - If you like soggy subs Firehouse - If you can find one, where the portions are really small Scrubway - No need to ask; between the $2.00/6" and $5/meals, you get what you pay for Mariano's Deli Section - Went from $3.50 to near double now, might as well get something from their hot bar at that point

Andres D recommended Mr. Submarine to me. Being that he knows a lot about everything, I figured I'd check it out after my friend's party. I love that they're open late so you can come and eat at any level of inebriation that you choose. My level was low, since I was driving, but I can't say the same for my guest. We decided to go with the hot pastrami (also again on Andres suggestion) with a chicken cheesesteak on garlic bread. Andres forgot to mention that the proper way to order the cheesesteak is on the white bread, NOT the garlic bread. The pastrami was delicious. I wish they put more meat on it, but that could be just me being greedy. Pastrami + mustard are perfect together, although one more scoop of meat and one more squirt of mustard would have been made this even better for me. The cheesesteak wasn't what I expected. We did have to wait awhile because the grill was turned off, but we were warned and didn't mind waiting. The garlic bread didn't mesh well with the flavors of the steak. I believe it would have had a lot different taste if we would have went with the regular bread. I loved that white bread they used on the pastrami with the sesame seeds. Yum Since we were eating past our bedtime, I turned down fries but I immediately wish I would have tried them. They have RC Cola products which screams meh to me, but we went with water anyway. Overall, a pretty decent sandwich shop that's open later than those other sub shops. If I ever get invited to his house again, I wouldn't hesitate to stop in to the corned beef or regular cheesesteak.
(3)Kristen L.
I really despise this place. Extremely slow service even if you're the only person in the drive through. Everything us much too greasy. Like "wring it out" greasy. Yuck :( 2 stars because of convenience only.
(2)Angelica K.
SO happy they opened around here! They needed a Mr.Sub. All of the Mr.Subs have great service and sandwiched. The only place I go to really for sandwiches for my long day at work.
(5)Joe P.
It's good late night. Kind of grimey. Less like steak and shake, but all the recent tuna sandwiches I've seen from here have been a mess and no tuna.
(3)Philip P.
I say this in full confidence: this place is the greatest restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life, and I've been to five star restaurants. I don't need a fancy presentation or aesthetic surroundings to appreciate the cuisine that I eat. They have an excellent selection of subs that give you a HUGE bang for your buck, the bread is soft and of great consistency, their vegetables are so crisp and fresh, and their meats are phenomenal! If you aren't in the mood for a sub, they have literally everything else under the sun (hot dogs, fries, gyros, etc.)! If you get the fries, ask for that Cajun seasoning, it's unreal. You could never go wrong with this place and it literally changed my life forever.
(5)Carlos O.
Great variety of sub sandwiches and other food items. Try the grilled chicken on pita!
(5)T K.
I was in the area and I went back. I decided to get a turkey sub. As I was looking on the menu board, I noticed that you could purchase a King Mr Sub or something called a "Super Sub". I decided to try the "Super Sub". It was the correct amount of meat just as I had when ordering a Super Mr Sub King. They may have taken my order wrong. No issues!
(5)Joe S.
FINALLY!!! A Mr Sub here in DG!!! Have loved them since the mid-late 70's. They opened a store in Lyons next to Steins' in Lyons, resturaunt/liquor store (best corned beef anywhere). Mr Sub was way more affordable and I searched them out everywhere. Chicago, DT, north side , southside, berwyn, still in lyons, now DG!!! Think I OD'd on it the first year they opened!! Fav, King Corned beef, no toms. Next Gyro, no Toms, extra pita and x-sauce. 2 meals!!! from both! PLEASE, don't ever close!
(4)Benjamin S.
Mr. Submarine cracked the code long ago. The combination of ingredients and bread always seem tasty without much intervention on my part. I think a big part of what they do correctly is by using fresh Turano french. The veggies seem fairly crisp too. I live further west, but when Im in Downers I always run through for a hot pastrami.
(4)John G.
I am so excited that Mr. Sub finally opened in the west burbs! Great sandwiches, gyros, dogs, etc. You can get a regular Mr. Sub for less than the cost of a fast food burger-- made fresh and much tastier!
(5)Kai R.
Not bad! I had the Greek salad twice with chicken and it was bigger than most. I love the chicken seasoning very tasty! Also, I had the fried mushrooms, which were heavy, but good. Again, a big portion for the money. So I am a fan and will go back for another salad!
(4)Lydia Z.
Good service. Subs were decent, the ingredients seemed fresh. The regular size is pretty big. Fries were good but the cheese for dippin' is nacho cheese. Subs are not expensive. As for taste, they were okay but nothing to write home about.
(3)Dan B.
Having seen their commercials for many years and recalling their jingle about where they state that they will "Satisfy your appetite the best you've ever seen" I decided to stop in Mr. Submarine after noticing their signage indicated that they serve more than just subs. This particular Mr. Submarine has both a drive through and a decent number of tables to sit down and eat in at. Upon entering Mr. Submarine I noticed that they in fact serve hot dogs and decided to try the hot dog and fry. For only 2.29 the hot dog and fries seemed like a good deal. The hot dog I received came on a non-poppy seed bun. But the bun was soft and was tasty. The celery salt was visibly added to the dog, the application of mustard, relish and onion was perfect. One thng worth noting about the onions is that they used string onions rather than chopped or diced onions like must hot dog places. I suspect these are the same onions used on their sub sandwiches. The pickle was just the right size and wasn't too sour. The fries included were of the crinkle cut variety and a little soft and a little salty. Overall I was very impressed by Mr. Submarine's hot dog. When you consider the fact that you get a hot dog and a great number of fries for only $2.29 this is a fantastic value as well. I would definitely come here again and definitely recommend it.
(4)Dana B.
I have loved Mr. Sub sandwiches since I was a kid. I was excited to see that there was a location closer to my house in the western burbs. The subs taste the same. Good meats, great bread, and the sauce is the same. I must say, this is the cleanest Mr Sub I have ever been in. The seating is also a lot more comfortable. The staff is very helpful and polite too.
(4)Erica T.
Love, love, love this location! They have most of the same yummy menu items as the other locations but they have a grill so there are so many more options! Philly chicken or cheesesteak are awesome! They also have in house marinated chicken that gets grilled up on the spot and put in everything from salads to subs to a pita plate that is enough food for me for like 3 meals! (Gyro plate is also awesome!) Gotta try the Italian beef too. Prices are super reasonable and for an extra $1.99 you can add a drink (free refills!) and fries, homemade soup, chili or chips. Yum!
(5)Craig L.
I've tried Mr. Sub 3 times now at this location. I've had it before in the city and remembered as nothing special. I have to say the first thing I noticed is price. I had a regular salami sub and a pickle for less then 5 bucks. The quantity was great and I loved the sauce and bread. Like some have said, it's nice to get a sub with lettuce that isn't swimming in the lettuce. I've had their regular fries and they are delicious. I want to try the garlic fries, dipped beef sandwich, and gyros next. Only complaint is the location can be a bit difficult just because of traffic, but this is no fault of the proprietor!
(4)Ron S.
I may be wrong but I think Mr. Submarine as a sub sandwich chain has been around the longest. I remember frequenting the south Loop location back in the late 1970's. Yesterday was a bit of time travel for me when I stopped by the Downers Grove location. I ordered the regular Combo which comes with roast beef, corned beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and mustard. Their bread is a distinctive Turano "hoagie" style bun with sesame seeds. I ordered a value meal which comes with choice of fries, chips or soup and a drink. I went with the fries. The Combo was pretty good with a nice balance of meat versus veggies. Unlike Subway, where they give you PLENTY of lettuce, this sandwich had a nice portion of meat and cheese. Although I did enjoy my sandwich, it didn't knock my socks off. The meat was relatively bland. The crinkle-cut fries were perfect and a much better choice than a bag of chips. My total was $6.15. Their subs are much better than Subway, Quiznos and Jimmy Johns but the sub sandwich playing field is becoming more and more crowded compared to even 10 years ago. A-OK is a fair review.
(3)Rosie M.
It was a great day when mr.sub came to DG and it lives up to all the expectations. The bread is always fresh and their secret sub sauce is delicious. I would recommend the turkey sub or chicken tender meal, both with fries!
(5)Ben B.
I was happy to have a Mr Sub open up in my neck of the woods, this is just down the street from my office. I have enjoyed just about every sandwich on the menu over the years at various locations, and they're all tasty for the price!
(4)Dr. Z.
Welcome back, and much better than ever ! I am told that a building that is just about 3/4 mile East of here- it's where an original twin-peaked-roof Mr Submarine was (the bldg still stands at 500 Ogden). I may have bad info on that, but you ought to go and see that architectural dinosaur. But that is the past ! I believe the resurrection is perfection. The staff here is all about service and keeping the seating area always clean, they deliver food to the table when the need arises, and the new menu is great! A great bunch of kids that actually recognize the regulars very quickly. I was a Subway regular, but I have seen the light... I think it's a better value, and they play good music from the 60's-90's. The only way to make it better? Those perfect pickles need to be refrigerated and ice cold. I know- they won't spoil at room temp, but that would make it a total 5* rating for me. -------UPDATE------ I just gave them 5 Stars, they now have iced the pickles! My favorite? The Pastrami heated up, chicken soup and diet RC Cola. That's my lunch about twice a week. The "chopped salad" is enough for 2- lots of chicken and bunches of other goodies. And yes... Diet RC Cola.... it's an acquired taste, but it works for me. (better by far than Diet Coke) Fast service, clean, good food... what more could you want?
(5)Michelle Marie R.
Oh for the love of bread!! 6inch on white extra cheese lettuce layers of cucumbers easy mayo makes my day. Wash it down with some Orange Crush! Mean Lean Sub Machine!
(3)Tony K.
Good subs and reasonably priced too! There are probably at least 12 subs you can choose from. My favorite is the roast beef. You can expect to pay $5-7 for a combo and feel pretty satisfied and full. Been coming here during my lunch breaks for the last year and always received good service from the staff. It also helps that they have a cute girl at the counter too! :) The only suggestion I would say is get rid of RC products...especially RC die cola. That taste like jagermeister,,,blah. Otherwise keep up the good work.
(5)Katherine B.
Pretty basic sandwich/hot dog place. I love the dressing they use on the turkey subs and the seasoning they put on their garlic fries. They have a great drive thru and are open pretty late. The only thing I would like to see change is the quality of the turkey meat. A little too slimy.
(4)Lisa W.
Really great food! Huge portions; share when you can. The garlic fries are soooo yummy, the bread is fresh, the ingredients are plentiful and very tasty. I've been to 2 locations and they are both excellent.
(5)Ken B.
Love Mr Sub. Sandwiches are huge, tons of variety and fresh ingredients. They have soup and salads and sandwiches and fries and onion rings. All of the people that work here are super friendly too. Try the wheat bread. Amazing.
(4)Zach E.
Good food, and a very clean building. Garlic fries were great, so were the cheese fries. My sub recommendation would be the Mr. Submarine sub with a side of garlic fries.
(4)Rey K.
Finally Mr Sub in Downers Grove! Much better than KFC that used to be in ths location. Sammies are fresh and lettuce shredded in store (not like subway's horrendous smelling lettuce that was cut weeks ago). I like the roast beef and chopped salad (which is quite big). Had a problem with a couple mis made sandwiches/salads, but the manager took care of it. Staff is friendly and recognizes their regulars-like myself- as I usually eat there twice a week. Open till 4 am for those who have late night munchies!
(5)Christina K.
I've been there twice now, and I'll go back. The staff is extra friendly, and depending on what you get, the food is delicious. It seems like their portions are giant sized, no matter what you got. I got the grilled chicken sub the first time, and the chicken, while nicely seasoned, was incredibly dry and tough. The second time I got the chicken fingers. They were great and plentiful. You can't argue with the price, but I find it a little weird they serve RC products. If you're not big on RC, like me, they will let you switch it out for a canned soda though.
(4)Tom O.
I'm getting a little tired of Subway, Quiznos, and Jimmy Johns, and I'm not that impressed with Jersey Mike's. So I was happy to see a different sub sandwich place surface on the Ogden Avenue strip. I just went to this relatively new Mr. Submarine location for the first time about a week ago with my oldest son. I had a hot pastrami on white bread with everything on it. The meat was shaved and grilled before being put on the bread. It was good quality, fresh pastrami and the bread and toppings were fresh and tasty. Quantity-wise there was plenty of meat on the sandwich, too, unlike some other places that perfectly pre-measure everything out to ensure that the customer - God forbid - doesn't get one fragment extra of meat without being charged (yeah, talkin' to you, Subway!) As my side per the sandwich + drink combo, I got chili. It was decent and enjoyable, but nothing incredible. Then again, it's probably a moot point since I'm not expecting INCREDIBLE from a place like Mr. Submarine. I just want some reliable comfort food at a good price and the chili met those expectations. My son ordered a gyros plate for about $7. It was HUGE: fries, two pitas, and easily enough meat, sauce, and onions/tomatoes for two solid gyros sandwiches. A couple of nice chunks of feta cheese and several Greek olives were included as well. Besides being big and relatively inexpensive, it was all really good and they didn't overgrill and dry out the gyros meat. Before actually going there, we had no idea that Mr. Sub served gyros. But now it's instantly become an option for when we need a gyros fix. I like it when a restaurant has something different in the way of soda instead of the same-old Coke or Pepsi product lines. I was happy to find that Mr. Submarine has the RC line instead: RC, Diet RC, 7-Up, Dr. Pepper, and Nehi fruit-flavored sodas. The Coke lineup is typically my #1, but RC is a close second - sometimes even assuming the #1 spot if I'm temporarily sick of Coke. But like another reviewer said, if you don't like RC products you're still in luck. Mr. Sub gives you an out with canned sodas from other brands instead of using the RC fountain. The restaurant was clean, the staff were friendly enough, and the food itself was very good. I think this location deserves 4 stars based on my overall experience.
(4)Nick T.
Great Italian beef, gyros, Philly steaks and of course legendary subs!!! I love the late night hours. Mr. Sub rocks!!!
