Ok where to start? Well I spent over $13 dollars. I had a beef hot with cheese large cheese fry large drink. Fry's under done cheese tasted like crap. Oh the beef was the worst. the hot peppers where the best thing. If I would known this place sucked so bad. I would have went to Portillo's in St. Charles. Where the food is great and I would have saved 1or 2 dollars

I had a chance to get back to Augie's yesterday and what a treat it was! Around 1 o'clock in the afternoon I realized I was starving and remembered this place was just down the street. I called and ordered a Turkey Grinder since I know they take a few minutes to make and getting back to work was imperative. I walked up to the counter and paid for my order and they handed it to me fresh from the kitchen right after. I took it back to the office and devoured it record time. The sandwich was pure bliss. Crusty bread with turkey, lettuce, tomato and the perfect blend of seasonings. Now if Augie's would just open a location in Phoenix life would be great!

I refuse to order another sandwich from any other restaurant! Augustino's subs always hit the spot. I always opt for the 6 inch turkey on french and I get two meals out of it. The meat is always fresh, the veggies are fabulous, and the servings are so generous. Throughout the years I have tried just about everything else on the menu, and it is all great. It's just so hard to pass up their amazing subs! The service at this location (compared to the Carol Stream) is a little slower, but the product is always superb, so it has never really bothered me. The decor is super, and the dining area is very clean. Overall, a great place to grab a bite to eat and have some leftovers later!

My friend has been hyping this place up for the longest time, and yesterday was the first time here! Place is filled with rock memories. I got a 12 inch vegetarian sub, and it was HUGE. Lots of veggies. Lots of cheese. Lots of oil, vinegar. I am a big eater,and if I can't eat all the sandwich,it's a big sandwich.

I grew up on east coast where there is a great deli on every block. I have lived in Chicago since 1977 and Augostino's is the best of the mid-west. All aspects of this Rock n Roll Deli are top shelf. Service inside, drive in outside, staff, food, selection and cleanliness. This place deserves 6 stars!
(5)John Q.
I heard good things from coworkers about this place so i decided to give it a whirl. Absolutely fantastic. The food was perfect. I got the Italian sandwich and it was phenomenal. Even the fries (which I'm 80% sure are frozen) were cooked perfectly with an awesome crunch. The girl at the counter always had a huge smile on her face too which means you know she enjoys working there. The decor is a rock n roll theme as the name states. Definitely will be back.
(5)Punisher J.
This place has a good traditional Italian sub on the correct bread. The one on St Charles road is better but you can get a good quick sandwich here.
(3)Felix F.
Order the philly steak and what we got was lots of green papers, mushroom and union and very little meat, we order to go so by the time we got back in the office well we were very disappointed but didn't wanted to go back and return this food it was just bad really bad! It ended in the garbage!
(1)Lane L.
Been going here (well the Carol Stream local before they opened their WeGo location), and love it. Sometimes I crave it. I wish that they'd open a location along Randall Rd. in Elgin (Subtle hint). I don't get the people who go their once and leave one star reviews. I've eaten here thousands of times over the years and never had issues! And in Summer, of course the car shows (which if I get out of work soon enough, I try to bring my own to show). My ONLY complaint was during this past winter, whenever I had to do snow plowing at my other house back in WeGo, by the time I would get back down there (After 9pm), they were closed... I had the crave man! Yea, it stinks they closed the Sears Tower location. As I sit here and drink water, it is out of my large Augustino's cups emblazened with the 3 locations. Carol Stream, West Chicago, and "Chicago, Sears Tower". It just looks cool on a cup

Went there on a Sunday eve. well before it was time for them to close. The counter person was very inattentive and I had to repeat mine and my family's order at least twice. I expected to hear old rock and roll not Van Halen or Aerosmith. Thought I was going to hear Elvis or the Beach Boys. I ordered the pasta with canned tomato sauce--YUCK--it was way to acidic! Went up to get a refill soda was treated rudely by what appeared to be a manager. Told me they had already taken the soda machine apart to clean parts--acted like I was putting him out! He told me did I need any other sodas because he was cleaning the machine. I WILL NOT be back!
(1)Sharon S.
Love their strawberry Italian ices! We don't order food much, so I can't remember what I usually get from here, but hubs loves the polish dog :-)
(5)Will M.
I have been going to Augustino's for years, used to just go to the Carol stream location and never had a problem there. I doubt I go back to the West Chicago location again. The lack of management was clear. There was about 5-7 guys and one extremely slow, careless chick at the register. All standing around while one guy made up our pretty large order. Also my mother who is quite patient, and also been going to the place since the first one opened, was pretty pissed at our service, yellow old lettuce and crappy sweet pot fries. When did this place become the fast food environment? Used to be so fast and people that actually cared or made it seem like it.....
(2)Rose D.
It has taken me far too long to discover Augustino's! They are located next to Menards, but when I'm going to a home improvement store, I am on a mission & there is no time for dilly-dallying - so Augustino's sadly went overlooked until now. I love all the old (and some newer) Rock & Roll decor and the delicious choices on their sandwich menu made it hard for us to decide. We were surprised to see they even had burgers & pastas dishes, too. I tried the Hot Turkey Pastrami sandwich, which was piled high with sliced meat - and I only ate half of the big sandwich, taking the other half home for lunch the next day. The Hubs tried one of their hockey playoffs season specials of Poutine w/Italian Beef on it for a Blackhawks/Chicago twist. The gravy & beef was darn good, though it could have had more cheese curds. And their fries! I have no idea why their crinkle cut fries are so good, but they were far superior to any other fast food fries we've ever had. I know we'll be back because I've got my eye on that Reuben to try next...and the various salads at the deli counter look tempting.
(4)Billy V.
Lunch spot 2-3 times a week. Great sandwiches, can pretty much custom order them. Salads are very good and massive. Greek salad with chicken is a very large portion. A bit on the higher end price wise if comparing to a Jimmy Johns or Subway, but more bang for your buck. Drive through is quick and great eat in atmosphere. 50s style deli/diner. Great decor and music always playing.
(5)Jesus R.
Place has been around for a long time. Food is good and the place is nice. Like to check out the car show they have every week.
(4)Marie N.
We had a 5-star experience here. We went for an early Friday evening dinner. We ordered the eggplant parmigiana, hot dog, homemade chips, cole slaw and cream of chicken with wild rice soup. Everything was excellent. They have a very large menu so I know we'll come back and try some of the other items. I enjoyed looking at the rock and roll memorabilia. Service was friendly and fast.
(5)Don B.
If the word "deli" is in your name, you should have decent meats and sandwiches. Augustino's did not get the memo. I ordered the Italian sub and it was the worst I've ever had...and I've eaten a lot of Italian subs. First, the bread was super stale and chewy. Second, the meat tasted like it was packed in salt for the past week. I don't remember a time that I was so thirsty after a meal. Third, a whole raw onion on a sandwich? Come on... Fourth, the vinaigrette was very sharp and unappetizing. They added so much of this vinegar to the sandwich that it pooled in the paper and dripped all over the place. I had taken the sandwich to go, so I wasn't in a position to complain to the staff. The rock and roll decor inside is a ripoff of Portillo's, is way too corny and looks antiquated...not in a good way. The staff was quick and efficient, but other than that, not a fan at all. I suggest they go to a real Italian deli and try a legitimate Italian sub. Once they do, they should change meat brands, start using all their bread daily, get a new vinaigrette and make another attempt. Until this happens, I will not be back.
(1)Suzanne C.
I hadn't been here in a long time. I wondered why the parking lot was empty. I found out soon enough. Food was just okay. Toasted bread from sandwich was good. But I can get bread anywhere. Service was very slow. And the place was empty. So no reason to make we wait. But what really set me off is when I came home and looked at my receipt. They charged me Twenty Five Cents for a cup of water. Can you get any cheaper? Good bye Augustinos. Too many other places will not charge you for their Free Water!!
(2)Michael V.
9 bucks for a sub and the meat was so fatty and chewy I gagged. Returned sub only to get attitude. Manager kept repeating himself "this is number one sub we sell"...... Dude, no one is questioning what you sell the most of... what I'm telling you is your deli meat sucks as much as your customer service! My suggestion. Lose the attitude and do some quality control in your products. I'm never going back.
(1)Gemma K.
Trekking from one higher ed off site to another can be grueling, but the prospect of a grab and go at Augustino's makes it a plus. And though I didn't get a chance to enjoy the ambiance of an old time tile floor and rock n roll, I still say you can tell a lot from even a drive thru experience. When on their game, this spot has fresh bread as well as fresh fix ins'. No problem with the service either. Pleasant, courteous, with a sense of humor, too! (I guess the business suit seemed a little out of place). Even on Halloween. Still, my All Veggie Sub with pepper jack cheese was great, and huge. It always reminds me of an Italian salad bread bowl: the 6 inch variety though. I also love what they do with an Italian Sub. Third standby choice: the Pepper and Egg. Reasonable prices too! Though I don't get here often, on the occasions when I do I haven't been disappointed. Thanks guys ... and nice touch with the pumpkin! Us mobile Trick or Treaters need our chocolate fix!!
(4)Karma K.
Oh Yeah, their subs are legit...the real deal. You really can't go wrong with any of their subs or other sandwiches. I was very sad :-( when they closed their plplace in Willis Tower. Noooooo! It was one of the best places in the Loop for lunch. The place is all done up in retro 50's style so lots of cool stuff to look at. Like their sister location in Carol Stream they have great sammies, salads and sides. I love the bread they use for their sammies and they don't cheap out on the toppings. I can never finish a whole sandwich. I am a huge fan of their bruschetta too. We have had them cater parties and peeps rave about the food. Fresh, large portions and it really is homemade. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Plus, the dudes taking your order are quick but patient and happy to answer questions or customize your order. It's not dirt cheap but you get what you pay for. I am seriously surprised that this local gem hasn't expanded outside of West Chicago and Carol Stream.
(5)Paul S.
Pros: + Tasty food at a reasonable price + Outstanding atmosphere with tons of rock and roll memorabilia on the walls + Customer service is friendly + Plenty of parking Cons: - Took a while for a BLT to be served, despite the restaurant not being that full If you like Americana and paying homage to days gone by, or if you're just a fan of old school music, don't be too "American" and use the drive thru. Park your Hummer and get inside the building to check out the tunes of rock and roll greats and browse the great wall art.
(4)Carolina B.
Fast food at its best. Fresh deli sandwiches with great bread and excellent ingredients. Awesome crinkle fries as well! I love that they have a drive thru for those lazy weekend days when I want a good sandwich and a coke, but want to keep my yoga pants on! I love the American Sub, it's probably my favorite sub around. When nowadays Subway and Jersey Mikes are considered "good" this place is a saving grace. My boyfriend is a fan of their burgers as well as the chicken philly. And don't forget dessert, one of the best Italian ices around. Yummy yummy!
(4)Charles A.
I have been coming here for years since I was a kid. The food is great!! And would give 5 stars on food alone. However the service has always been meh. I always feel like the attitude is "our food is good so I don't have to be extremely nice". If anyone in your group asks a question, the counter help makes you feel stupid and they just have an attitude about them. That said I come here for the food not the service. Keep serving good food and I will deal with service.
(3)Calab N.
The food is nothing that special. I enjoyed my italian sub and the homemade chips, but the pizza is not that great. I am a fan of the decor. But one thing they could do better is make it less cluttered. But overall the service is up to snuff and they get the job done in a flash.
(3)Ryan S.
Had the Patty Melt and sweet potato fries. This place has great atmosphere. Lots of eye candy, too.
(4)Faith S.
I love Augustino's. They have the best chocolate shakes. And I get their Cobb Salad with crispy chicken 2-3x a week (I'm currently 6 months pregnant and it's the thing I crave most). But their chicken tenders and burgers are good also. Also love their subs. Can't go wrong here really. The food is super fresh. Expect to wait 5-10 minutes in the drive thru for your food because they make it to order. I like to call ahead and pick up at the drive thru if I'm in a hurry. Super convenient. (Anywhere with a drive thru is super convenient when you have 2 kids in the car!)
(5)Theresa C.
I've been a fan of the Augustino's location in Carol Stream. It didn't even know that this was right in my backyard. I've been driving past it on Route 59 and had no clue. What a great surprise. I was so excited! The food is just as tasty as the other location. Great sandwiches and sides. I haven't tried anything else because I can't break away from the corned beef reuben. It is the definition of awesome. I also love the baked potato salad as well. I haven't tried anything else but from the looks of my friends' sandwiches, everything looks great. I love the fact that everything is made to order and fresh. There can be a big crowd but they seem to move everyone out in a good order. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is nice. FYI buy the large soda, you can save the cup and get $.75 refills on your next visits.
(4)Michael R.
So you're prepared, this is not a traditional diner as such. You come in and order at the front as there is no waitstaff. This can be a bit disconcerting since the large menu is scrawled all over the walls and you are immediately asked for your order when you walk in. Telling the cashier to stand down didn't help. Also the tables are tiny and don't offer much room for food, much less napkins or condiments other than salt and pepper. I had a hamburger which was unremarkable. Tasted a lot like Wendy's burger. The pepper and egg sandwich was bland as well. The best item we had were the onion rings which were of the crumbly breading variety. All in all I can't recommend Augostino's unless you're really hungry and just want to grab sustenance. Also it's well decorated if you like old time rock memorabilia.
(2)Alison G.
Staff was knowledgable about what GF meant and what was and wasn't safe to eat! Reuben on GF French bread was great!
(5)Kevin W.
5 stars! Heck, 10 stars! I have been going to Augie's for as long as I can remember. From the subs, to the polish, fresh salads to the soups Augie's has nothing but the best! The menu can be overwhelming if it's your first visit, 2nd visit or 20th just because they have so many different delicious things to choose from. My personal favorites are the Italian sub and the polish. Can't go wrong with those! And if you ever have questions... ASK. The employees are always smiling, helpful and ready to take your order when your at the counter.
(5)Kevin S.
Oh let me count the number of issues this place has. Where to begin?, there's no free refills on Fountain drinks. REALLY??? All the kids who work here seem stoned half the time or all the time; no random drug testing for employees ?? The menu is limited and food is mediocre.
(1)H D.
I've only ordered through the drive-thru, and service has always been great. My wife loves their turkey grinders and I've had most of their deli subs. Very tastey and very filling. The portions are rather big for such reasonable prices. They have an italian ice with different flavors which is pretty great as an after meal treat. Hoping to make it in for a dine in experience.

I have always really enjoyed auggies. This past year I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and I thought I old never have their subs again. Luckily they proved me wrong. Their gluten free sub bun is amazing. GF bread tends to be super dry, but this was anything but dry. They have other menu GF items as well. I have yet to try them because I cannot get away from the delicious sub. I always get the turkey with oil, lettuce and avocado. Delicious. I also used to order their homemade chips ( before being GF) and they were seriously the most amazing chips ever. My only complaint- I wish they were cooked in a different fryer than the other items so I could enjoy them again! (Cross contamination issues ). Keep up the great work!
(4)John S.
Ever go into a restaurant and say wish my food looked like the picture... Well Augustino's is that place. The Sandwiches here are loaded and put together almost like a form of art. I can't say they look to good to eat because it is quite the opposite they look too good not to eat. Everything here is also made fresh. No presliced wax paper here all meat is cut to order. The dinning room is also always clean and has lots of great rock and roll stuff to check out while you eat. Been going to both locations for years and will continue to do so. For Sandwiches Augies can't be beat. Hands down best sub in ChiTown.
(5)Mike U.
Nothing special. I have had much better Italian beef and sausage before. They nickel and dime you for everything- including a little cup of ranch sauce. This place is definitely not anything to write home about.
(2)Betti B.
you know, I've had better experiences at worse places and this place could use some help. They have GF bread and the sandwiches are good, But the wait was indescribably long. 9.99 for a gf sandwich is very high. The prices on the drive thru board for multiple items did not match the receipt prices.
(2)Jin Joo L.
This place is pretty good. I just wish I hadn't ordered the Reuben. I just don't like really salty meats and corned beef to me is salty. I would definitely love to try their other stuff. The coleslaw was pretty decent. They have this side thing where you can get sides or salads. Not sure how it all works still but the staff is VERY VERY friendly and will take the time to help you out. Seems like a great place for families or groups or whoever. Not sure if they had a drive thru... I think they did. Located next to Steak N Shake and hard to miss. I did try a bite of their Italian sub.. a super duper choice.
(4)Danielle S.
Augustino's is like a Hard Rock Cafe....only for the suburbs...a deli. It has a bunch of rock and roll memorabilia on the walls, just like Hard Rock Cafe. They have a pretty full menu with burgers, home-made chips, wraps, sandwiches, pastas, salads, and more! You can eat in, take it to go, or go through the drive-through. I got the California wrap, and I was impressed with how huge it was! You definitely get your money's worth. The food was definitely better than what I expected. To me, it wasn't 5-star worthy, but it's definitely better than other fast food places or a Subway!
(4)Kate S.
I pass this place every day on my way to and from work, so I decided to stop and grab some dinner for my dad and me on my way home. I ate here a lot in high school because one of my friends was obsessed with it. Back then, I usually got some sort of turkey deli sandwich or salad, and I remember really liking it. They also had a to die for keylime cheesecake (one of my favorite things in the world). They didn't have it this time when I went in - not sure if they were just out of it or if they stopped carrying it (the last time I was there was literally at least 6 years ago - I remember the last time I went there my friends and I grabbed lunch before going to see "White Noise" at the movie theater, so you have an idea of how long ago that was) My dad told me what he wanted, and it sounded good so I got the same thing - the build your own burger with grilled chicken breast instead of a burger, cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onion, tomato, lettuce, and honey mustard with a side of fries. The fries were REALLY good - perfect amount of done-ness, not overly greasy, perfectly salty. mmmm. The chicken was good, not great. However, I had eaten a huge lunch only a few hours earlier, so I wasn't really all that hungry - I was planning on eating my dinner later, but it smelled good so I decided to eat it right away. My dad seemed to really like his. There was something a little odd-tasting in my opinion on the sandwich - I think it might have been the honey mustard, but I'm not totally sure. They also really pile on the onions, so I took a few off - no biggie. The sandwich itself was HUGE. I ate half of it and saved the rest for the next day (which it still tasted good then, maybe even better. Like I said I wasn't hungry when I ate it so that's probably why I didn't love it). It's expensive (our two orders were $15 total), but they definitely pile in the food. Overall it was good, and I will be back. I'd love to try the angus burger (not sure why I didn't order that in the first place), the vegetable panini, and some of the traditional deli sandwichs.

Needed a bite to eat post workout so I decided to opt out of consuming the 1,100 calories and 90g of fat that come with the classic frisco melt and fries (steak n shake conveniently next door) plus my mint oreo shake and try something different. I'm not sure why I never checked Augie's out, the giant piano and guitar on the outside of the buildling should have caught my attention, but shakes usually win me over. It was near closing time, but the staff was very patient with me. I had NO idea how the place worked, so the guy up front (I think the manager), walked me through the menu. So sweet of him! I went with the southwest chipotle wrap and sweet potato fries ($6.50ish), and my sister ordered the california wrap ($7) and home-made chips. Both wraps were sooo HUGE that neither of us were able to finish (lunch for tomorrow!). My sweet potato fries were a little undercooked, but a few of them had a good crunch...I'd give it another shot. My sister's chips were delicious! They were topped with parmesan cheeeese. I found my hands reaching onto her plate more often than my own. They have a huge menu...subs, sandwiches, burgers, melts, wraps, all ranging from $5-$8! I'll definitely have to go back and try more!

It's a little deceiving to get into this strip mall if you're trying to make a left turn into it (NB Rt. 59 or WB North Avenue). There's a left turn lane going north on Rt. 59 that looks like it's too far from the Menard's. Take it. Otherwise, make the left turn onto North Avenue and take the left turn lane that seems to pass by Augustino's. Go in there (instead of a u-turn) and make the left behind the Steak n Shake. They have their own parking lot and a drive thru. The place closes at 9 during the week and didn't push us out, but did turn off the music and some of the outside lights right around then. The service is good. It's not a sit-down restaurant so you put your order in at the front counter and they bring it out to your table when it's ready. I had the pastrami on rye with stone ground mustard. They were nice enough to tell me it would be warm, which I thought it would be. They gave us our tray with our drinks, straws, and napkins on them. My friend had the egg salad and we shared an order of the sweet potato fries. The pastrami is very thinly sliced but they give you a good portion for the $7.49 price. I don't really like sweet potatoes but can deal with sweet potato fries. These were pretty good and the skin was still on them. My friend's egg salad was pretty plain and didn't finish the last 1/4. Overall, I'd go back to try some of their other sandwiches and burgers.
(4)Phil K.
My whole family loves this place. Great food, great atmosphere and very good service. They make the best sandwiches around.
(5)Brian G.
It's a deli with kitschy crap all over and a fairly deep menu of sandwiches, salads and assorted entrees type dishes like pasta, pizza etc. Soup was adequate and seemed pretty pricey .. Sandwich solid and pretty cheap. Not particularly friendly, got my order wrong, won't take credit cards for under $10. It serves a purpose if in the area.
(3)J D.
A friend usually finds the one item on a menu he likes, and orders that one item from then on. I am usually far more adventurous. However, he recommended the "Combo" at Augustino's, and it was SO awesome I have yet to try anything else. Both the beef and sausage are the among the best tasting I've had. At every bite I am reminded just how bland these ingredients have become elsewhere. [Bite] Delicious! [Bite] Scrumptious! [Bite] Wow! Maybe not the best in the WORLD ... uh-hem ... but damn, it's good! As a side I get their home fried chips. Fresh. Fried. Potato Chips. Yum! (Ya gotta get 'em fresh out of the frier -- I've gotten half-soggy, lukewarm chips once in a while.) I like 'em so much I have yet to try another side. What have I become?!? Hate to base a review on just two menu items out of an extensive list, many of which sound spectacular, but I can't bear to miss out on the combo and chips when we go there. What can I do? :)
(5)Alix H.
First time at Augustino's. Unique atmosphere - ordered the Italian Beef sandwich. It was delicious! Staff was very friendly and helpful. We took sandwiches to go.
(4)Warren W.
If you've beeen disappointed by Portillo's, try this place. Excellent combos. What Portillo's used to be.
(5)M M.
Food was good, but unhappy with the $0.25 charge for a cup of water! I spent $8 for a sandwich, they could have thrown in the cup!

Based on today's experience, I felt I had to write a quick update to my review and add that our family's experience was without a doubt a 5-star experience! Basically, we went into the restaurant in the afternoon to request a loaf of long bread - we buy it on occasion as we love it. By chance today, we were told they were all out (or on very low reserve), but were waiting for another shipment to come in. 'Felipe' asked for our number and said he would contact us if the second shipment came in. We gave him our number and didn't think much of it actually, we actually later in the day were going to just buy bread elsewhere. 20 minutes later, we get a call from the restaurant from Felipe. We were actually surprised! The bread had come in and he said he had saved us a loaf!! I felt this was extraordinary customer service! ON TOP OF THIS - when we go to pick up the bread, HE GAVE US ANOTHER LOAF FREE! Wow! Extraordinary! Totally worth of a 5 star review for today's service! Thank you!
(5)K.K. D.
This place is by far one of the best sub sandwiches! We are frequent visitors and have probably 1 time or another had everything on the menu, we have used them for catering hot beefs and giant cold subs! The service is great! Family favorites include American sub,Italian Sub, and the italian beef. Add an italian ice to your order!
(5)Tiff T.
Cute place, always wanted to go to a diner type place! I had something simple- chilli cheese dog- so didn't get to sample other foods that seemed more unique. But would love to go back and sample those items
(5)Wendy P.
Been going to Augustino's since I was a kid at their other location. Their food is honestly out of this world good. Sandwiches have large portions of meat, the bread and other fixings (lettuce, tomato, etc.) are always fresh. And those homemade potato chips are to die for. It's pricey for fast food, but a screaming deal for the quality and quantity you get. A total family favorite.

Went to the West Chicago Augustinos location for lunch today. This place is awful! The atmosphere is so dreadful. The employees don't want to be there & it shows. No hello greeting or thank you either. Workers seemed to be bothered by the interuption to take care of guests. Waited 20 minutes for an italian beef & the restaurant was empty. The absolute worst italian beef I have ever eaten in my life! It was luke warm at best with a clump of flavorless beef all glued together like a nasty grey fruit rollup. I would have rather had the papa charlies from the grocery freezer. This is coming from a loyal 22 year customer (Carol Stream Augustinos location) eating at least 1 to 2 italian beefs a week. This is my 3rd visit to the West Chicago location & it is my last! This place is not anywhere in the same ballpark as the Augustinos in Carol Stream. The Carol Stream location has friendly workers, a good fun atmosphere, excellent food- taste & quality, consistant product, fair prices & good portion sizes. West Chicago location has none of these!!!! Pass on the West Chicago Augustinos. There are better options out there.

It's ok, not super awesome but ok. I won't go out of my to go there.

First of all. Kudos to all the Lombard Yelpers reviewing Augustino's. Way to represent!! Yeah, we get around. What a fun place!! Augustino's that is. It has a 50's rock motif and is full of fun, cool knick knacks. The menus is great and has a little something for everyone. They serve you like a Culver's does. We stopped in after church and had a blast. The wife and I had the southwestern wrap with was large and in charge. It tasted great. I had some veggies on the side. The kidlets had some corndog bites and veggies. Pretty nice place. Clean and good food for the money.

The blues brothers right in front, classic greasers themed place, somewhere you can see a girl with a poodle skirt going to back in the day. Too bad the worker's outfits don't match but that's ok They are known for their deli, so i gave their meatball sandwich a try, with provolone cheese and a side of french fries and chocolate shake. I will rate this on 3 things: Service, Food variety, taste Service: very considerate young people who understood that it was our first time and helped us by answering all our questions (****) Food Variety: they have burgers, hotdogs, meatball sandwiches, deli sandwiches and more! (****) Taste: meatball sandwich: you can tell its a blend of meats which is a good thing, but i have had better. the bread is toasted and the sauce is good (***) chocolate shake: thick, chocolate-but not super sweet, just right, wish it wasn't super thick though (***) fries: i love fries, and they must have fried this in a different oil because they look like portillo's fries but don't taste like them. Definitely have their own identity. (****) Overall I give this place a 3.5, but I'll round up for the service i got It's a good change from panera and other sub shops, and doesn't have the portillo's fast food feel to it. But it does have a competitor right next door (steak n shake). Food is ok, not great but it's good, have to try at least once, especially if you're a local

Augustion's is very solid. For one, they make the best veggie sub ever. I would seriously consider becoming vegetarian if there was a location near me. The veggies are always fresh...the tomatoes are tasty even in the thick of winter. But I've tried several other items at Auggies: turkey club, italian beef, turkey wrap, party sub, etc. Everything is solid. I mean it's fast food so it should be judged based on that- but to me it's a step above that. My brother used to live near here so I've had their catering before which is awesome too. I'm out in this area every now and then and if I am I always make it a point to stop at Augistinos
(5)Alex A.
I often go here for my lunch while I'm at work. You cannot go wrong with the sandwiches! My fav is definitely the Italian sub. They also have a slew of other salads, soups and pasta to feast on. Enjoy!
(5)John P.
Ran across using the yelp search. Very nice find. Good atmosphere for fast food. Fried pickles were very good. Pastrami and turkey Ruben sandwiches very large and excellent. Fries were also very good. Food was delivery in less than five minutes. Will definitely come back
(5)Ben U.
Auggies has a very good ham grinder sandwich. I've tried other items but always go back to their grinders with sweet peppers. Cheese fries could be better and the drive thru can be slow at times- but overall good food.
(4)Elizabeth W.
I have been going to Augustino's for many years (at both locations), and I am a huge fan. The decor is fun, the service is fast, and the food is delicious! If you are in the mood for pasta, salad, sandwiches, chili...they have it all! Whatever you are having, add one of their cold sides! I love, love, love the cold pasta salad and the marinated olives. If I liked tomatoes more, I would also be addicted to the caprese salad (marinated tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil). The kids meals are also a deal because they come with the meal, the drink, a side, and a dessert! We got the Italian ice and it was a huge portion that we had to take home.
(4)Nicole L.
This is the second time I've ate at an Augustino's, although it was the first time for this location. The food was bland. I won't be back.
(2)Steve G.
Great classic deli/beef joint in the western suburbs. While this is not the original (that's in Carol Stream), it's a worthy member of the family! Great place to get killer Italian Beef. They also make great deli sandwiches any way you like, including some fine pastrami. I like the Italian sub, no oil, extra hot peppers, or the small Greek salad with peppercini peppers on it. The walls are lined with some real, some fake rock n roll memorabilia, and there are plenty of flat screens around to watch the game, if you're so inclined. This Augustino's has a drive through, too. My only complaint is they charge you for drink refills, which reminds me too much of Portillo's... But other than that, a worthy destination in the Western Suburbs for beef lovers. PS -- Yes, they DO have outdoor seating! Yes, they deliver to offices!
(4)alicia b.
scrumptious food! Augustinos has a mega monster menu,its almost too much.Hard to make a choice.Being a veggietarian I can cut the choices in third but still have 80% more choices then most places so right there I love Augustinos! The prices are pretty cheap for the huge amounts you get. I have had the eggplant sandwich and the veggie sub,both are soo tasty! I would probabaly go with the veggie sub next time its so refreshing and topped with tons of veg,lettuce,sprouts,cucs,onions ect.! Opt out of the cheese you dont really need it the rest of the sandwich has so much flavor you dont even need to the cheese or extra calories. One of my fav things is the decor,I had elvis staring me down while I ate and Marilyn sitting next to me:) The also are very green...The cups arent plastic they are made of veggie!! They staff was nice but the clena up boy asked us how everything was about 4 times, kind of
(4)Dan N.
I have never had anything that blew me away yet never had anything that I didn't like. They have a huge menu everything from deli sandwiches to hotdogs and burgers, salads and pastas and Pizza. Great atmosphere and fun place, great place for Kids and Families.
(3)Tracy S.
A little on the expensive side, but I have never had a bad meal here.
(4)Phillip A.
Excellent deli food. Our favs are the Turkey/Bacon Club/The Italian Sub and the Italian Beef w/sweet peppers. Consistent in quality and I like the fact the West Chicago location has a drive-thru. You gets your moneys worth here.
(4)M K.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Augies! We have tried lots of things on the extensive menu...the chili is yum and their subs are absolutely scrumptious! We used to order them every year for a work meeting (which no longer occurs) but everyone looked forward to that event! Prices are average for the type of place it is...other than their by the pound salads which I think have astronomical prices attached to them. (hence the 4 rather than 5 stars) Also...the teens that work there are not really all that friendly to speak of, but the managers and non-teenage workers are very friendly and make an effort to greet you (especially when you are a regular customer)! Would I recommend to a friend: Absolutely! Would I go again: Absolutely! Suddenly I have a hankerin' for an American Sub!
(4)Vince A.
Finally got to the hailed Augustino's last week for a quick dinner in the area. I was surprised when I walked in to find tables open (oh wait, this was West Chicago, not Carol Stream). We ordered the italian sub (mighty tasty), meatball sub(good, but not great) and the kids had grilled cheese and hot dog. Kids ate their whole meal which is new. It's certainly good, maybe not 5 star good, but good. Service was fine, maybe a touch slow since they weren't that busy.
(4)John M.
I am searching for the best Italian Sub in Chicago, so I had to try Augustino's. I went to the West Chicago location. It was good, but I have had better. The bread was good and fresh. The ingredients were just OK, not great. I like it spicy, and had the giardineria, too. A great Italian Sub will have a mixture of salamis, hams and cheeses, lettuce, tomato, plus spices and sauces that all offer some excellent flavors in every bite. This one didn't provide that WOW factor. I will just have to keep trying. On to the next place!
(3)Michael G.
This place has the best Italian sub ever. Please stop charging for tap water.
(5)Kevin B.
I have the same things to say about the West Chicago Augie's as I do the Carol Stream Augie's. Great food. Maybe slightly pricey, but worth it. This one has a leg up on the Carol Stream one because of the layout. Where the Carol Stream location makes you feel like you'll be shot if you don't order right, the West Chicago location lets you order at the register in a much less rushed and chaotic environment. All the good of the Carol Stream location without the bad. If you have a choice on which to go to, visit West Chicago.

My friend and I went on 06/04/11 to this place. The inside of the deli ain't much but is decorated with some memorabilia from the good ol' days :D Well, we came here to eat, right? Then onto the food ;) You start out by ordering up front and they will deliver your food to your table. My friend got the Eggplant Parmesan and I got the Philly Steak Sandwich (both were sub-like buns). Mine came with fries since it's a platter (which is basically a plate). Also got Cheese Styx for both of us. The Eggplant Parmesan was simply poured onto a single sub-like bun, which the customer is supposed to fold himself. My friend had a hard time trying to fold it without everything spilling out, especially the parmesan. He just gave up and ate it like toast. My Philly was semi-folded on a single sub-like bun, but was much easier to fold. My sandwich was great. The Eggplant, besides being unfoldable, was good too. The Cheese Styx were OK, as long as they were hot. So as a fast food place I'd say this is a pretty good place to try. Oh, if you're gonna order drinks get the biggest one because all sizes cost the same $1 and they don't do refills (some weird new policy??)
(4)Joni M.
Love me my Augie's! I hate to admit it, but I lived in the area for almost 8 years before trying it. I did drive through one time, but didn't see anything on the menu that caught my eye, so I left without ordering. What a shame at all that time wasted! We now go there about once a week, and the food is amazingly good. I usually get a California wrap, but their Italian beef is also top-notch. Way better than Portillo's. Way better. Their dogs are great, the grilled cheese is super good too. Honestly, the only thing I've been slightly disappointed with was the meatball sandwich, and that was still good. I much prefer their homemade chips to the fries, but that's me. The best part about this place though? The Italian Ice. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. We have always had great experiences with the service, and our orders are always correct. One of our favorite fast food joints to go to.
(5)Christen D.
Great food! Great service! We love Auggies!! They have such a huge menu- there are so many options to choose from! The original Italian is the best-order extra oil on there-the best! Only down side is their location in Carol Stream has more sides to choose from-I was hoping for the marinated mushrooms-they don't have them at W Chicago but thats nothing........we love Auggies!!
(4)Michael o.
12 bucks for a 12'' italian sub dollar an inch and it was nothing to write home about
(3)Sara B.
The West Chicago location for this small 3 location chain. They have the best Italian Beef and Egg Salad sandwiches here!
(5)Rose D.
It has taken me far too long to discover Augustino's! They are located next to Menards, but when I'm going to a home improvement store, I am on a mission & there is no time for dilly-dallying - so Augustino's sadly went overlooked until now. I love all the old (and some newer) Rock & Roll decor and the delicious choices on their sandwich menu made it hard for us to decide. We were surprised to see they even had burgers & pastas dishes, too. I tried the Hot Turkey Pastrami sandwich, which was piled high with sliced meat - and I only ate half of the big sandwich, taking the other half home for lunch the next day. The Hubs tried one of their hockey playoffs season specials of Poutine w/Italian Beef on it for a Blackhawks/Chicago twist. The gravy & beef was darn good, though it could have had more cheese curds. And their fries! I have no idea why their crinkle cut fries are so good, but they were far superior to any other fast food fries we've ever had. I know we'll be back because I've got my eye on that Reuben to try next...and the various salads at the deli counter look tempting.
(4)Billy V.
Lunch spot 2-3 times a week. Great sandwiches, can pretty much custom order them. Salads are very good and massive. Greek salad with chicken is a very large portion. A bit on the higher end price wise if comparing to a Jimmy Johns or Subway, but more bang for your buck. Drive through is quick and great eat in atmosphere. 50s style deli/diner. Great decor and music always playing.
(5)Jesus R.
Place has been around for a long time. Food is good and the place is nice. Like to check out the car show they have every week.
(4)Marie N.
We had a 5-star experience here. We went for an early Friday evening dinner. We ordered the eggplant parmigiana, hot dog, homemade chips, cole slaw and cream of chicken with wild rice soup. Everything was excellent. They have a very large menu so I know we'll come back and try some of the other items. I enjoyed looking at the rock and roll memorabilia. Service was friendly and fast.
(5)Don B.
If the word "deli" is in your name, you should have decent meats and sandwiches. Augustino's did not get the memo. I ordered the Italian sub and it was the worst I've ever had...and I've eaten a lot of Italian subs. First, the bread was super stale and chewy. Second, the meat tasted like it was packed in salt for the past week. I don't remember a time that I was so thirsty after a meal. Third, a whole raw onion on a sandwich? Come on... Fourth, the vinaigrette was very sharp and unappetizing. They added so much of this vinegar to the sandwich that it pooled in the paper and dripped all over the place. I had taken the sandwich to go, so I wasn't in a position to complain to the staff. The rock and roll decor inside is a ripoff of Portillo's, is way too corny and looks antiquated...not in a good way. The staff was quick and efficient, but other than that, not a fan at all. I suggest they go to a real Italian deli and try a legitimate Italian sub. Once they do, they should change meat brands, start using all their bread daily, get a new vinaigrette and make another attempt. Until this happens, I will not be back.
(1)Karma K.
Oh Yeah, their subs are legit...the real deal. You really can't go wrong with any of their subs or other sandwiches. I was very sad :-( when they closed their plplace in Willis Tower. Noooooo! It was one of the best places in the Loop for lunch. The place is all done up in retro 50's style so lots of cool stuff to look at. Like their sister location in Carol Stream they have great sammies, salads and sides. I love the bread they use for their sammies and they don't cheap out on the toppings. I can never finish a whole sandwich. I am a huge fan of their bruschetta too. We have had them cater parties and peeps rave about the food. Fresh, large portions and it really is homemade. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Plus, the dudes taking your order are quick but patient and happy to answer questions or customize your order. It's not dirt cheap but you get what you pay for. I am seriously surprised that this local gem hasn't expanded outside of West Chicago and Carol Stream.
(5)Dan A.
Ok where to start? Well I spent over $13 dollars. I had a beef hot with cheese large cheese fry large drink. Fry's under done cheese tasted like crap. Oh the beef was the worst. the hot peppers where the best thing. If I would known this place sucked so bad. I would have went to Portillo's in St. Charles. Where the food is great and I would have saved 1or 2 dollars
(1)Suzanne C.
I hadn't been here in a long time. I wondered why the parking lot was empty. I found out soon enough. Food was just okay. Toasted bread from sandwich was good. But I can get bread anywhere. Service was very slow. And the place was empty. So no reason to make we wait. But what really set me off is when I came home and looked at my receipt. They charged me Twenty Five Cents for a cup of water. Can you get any cheaper? Good bye Augustinos. Too many other places will not charge you for their Free Water!!
(2)Michael V.
9 bucks for a sub and the meat was so fatty and chewy I gagged. Returned sub only to get attitude. Manager kept repeating himself "this is number one sub we sell"...... Dude, no one is questioning what you sell the most of... what I'm telling you is your deli meat sucks as much as your customer service! My suggestion. Lose the attitude and do some quality control in your products. I'm never going back.
(1)Faith S.
I love Augustino's. They have the best chocolate shakes. And I get their Cobb Salad with crispy chicken 2-3x a week (I'm currently 6 months pregnant and it's the thing I crave most). But their chicken tenders and burgers are good also. Also love their subs. Can't go wrong here really. The food is super fresh. Expect to wait 5-10 minutes in the drive thru for your food because they make it to order. I like to call ahead and pick up at the drive thru if I'm in a hurry. Super convenient. (Anywhere with a drive thru is super convenient when you have 2 kids in the car!)
(5)Amber K.
I refuse to order another sandwich from any other restaurant! Augustino's subs always hit the spot. I always opt for the 6 inch turkey on french and I get two meals out of it. The meat is always fresh, the veggies are fabulous, and the servings are so generous. Throughout the years I have tried just about everything else on the menu, and it is all great. It's just so hard to pass up their amazing subs! The service at this location (compared to the Carol Stream) is a little slower, but the product is always superb, so it has never really bothered me. The decor is super, and the dining area is very clean. Overall, a great place to grab a bite to eat and have some leftovers later!
(5)Winchester D.
My friend has been hyping this place up for the longest time, and yesterday was the first time here! Place is filled with rock memories. I got a 12 inch vegetarian sub, and it was HUGE. Lots of veggies. Lots of cheese. Lots of oil, vinegar. I am a big eater,and if I can't eat all the sandwich,it's a big sandwich.
(5)Lou V.
I grew up on east coast where there is a great deli on every block. I have lived in Chicago since 1977 and Augostino's is the best of the mid-west. All aspects of this Rock n Roll Deli are top shelf. Service inside, drive in outside, staff, food, selection and cleanliness. This place deserves 6 stars!
(5)John Q.
I heard good things from coworkers about this place so i decided to give it a whirl. Absolutely fantastic. The food was perfect. I got the Italian sandwich and it was phenomenal. Even the fries (which I'm 80% sure are frozen) were cooked perfectly with an awesome crunch. The girl at the counter always had a huge smile on her face too which means you know she enjoys working there. The decor is a rock n roll theme as the name states. Definitely will be back.
(5)Punisher J.
This place has a good traditional Italian sub on the correct bread. The one on St Charles road is better but you can get a good quick sandwich here.
(3)Felix F.
Order the philly steak and what we got was lots of green papers, mushroom and union and very little meat, we order to go so by the time we got back in the office well we were very disappointed but didn't wanted to go back and return this food it was just bad really bad! It ended in the garbage!
(1)Lane L.
Been going here (well the Carol Stream local before they opened their WeGo location), and love it. Sometimes I crave it. I wish that they'd open a location along Randall Rd. in Elgin (Subtle hint). I don't get the people who go their once and leave one star reviews. I've eaten here thousands of times over the years and never had issues! And in Summer, of course the car shows (which if I get out of work soon enough, I try to bring my own to show). My ONLY complaint was during this past winter, whenever I had to do snow plowing at my other house back in WeGo, by the time I would get back down there (After 9pm), they were closed... I had the crave man! Yea, it stinks they closed the Sears Tower location. As I sit here and drink water, it is out of my large Augustino's cups emblazened with the 3 locations. Carol Stream, West Chicago, and "Chicago, Sears Tower". It just looks cool on a cup
(5)Sue P.
Went there on a Sunday eve. well before it was time for them to close. The counter person was very inattentive and I had to repeat mine and my family's order at least twice. I expected to hear old rock and roll not Van Halen or Aerosmith. Thought I was going to hear Elvis or the Beach Boys. I ordered the pasta with canned tomato sauce--YUCK--it was way to acidic! Went up to get a refill soda was treated rudely by what appeared to be a manager. Told me they had already taken the soda machine apart to clean parts--acted like I was putting him out! He told me did I need any other sodas because he was cleaning the machine. I WILL NOT be back!
(1)Sharon S.
Love their strawberry Italian ices! We don't order food much, so I can't remember what I usually get from here, but hubs loves the polish dog :-)
(5)Will M.
I have been going to Augustino's for years, used to just go to the Carol stream location and never had a problem there. I doubt I go back to the West Chicago location again. The lack of management was clear. There was about 5-7 guys and one extremely slow, careless chick at the register. All standing around while one guy made up our pretty large order. Also my mother who is quite patient, and also been going to the place since the first one opened, was pretty pissed at our service, yellow old lettuce and crappy sweet pot fries. When did this place become the fast food environment? Used to be so fast and people that actually cared or made it seem like it.....
(2)Gemma K.
Trekking from one higher ed off site to another can be grueling, but the prospect of a grab and go at Augustino's makes it a plus. And though I didn't get a chance to enjoy the ambiance of an old time tile floor and rock n roll, I still say you can tell a lot from even a drive thru experience. When on their game, this spot has fresh bread as well as fresh fix ins'. No problem with the service either. Pleasant, courteous, with a sense of humor, too! (I guess the business suit seemed a little out of place). Even on Halloween. Still, my All Veggie Sub with pepper jack cheese was great, and huge. It always reminds me of an Italian salad bread bowl: the 6 inch variety though. I also love what they do with an Italian Sub. Third standby choice: the Pepper and Egg. Reasonable prices too! Though I don't get here often, on the occasions when I do I haven't been disappointed. Thanks guys ... and nice touch with the pumpkin! Us mobile Trick or Treaters need our chocolate fix!!
(4)Paul S.
Pros: + Tasty food at a reasonable price + Outstanding atmosphere with tons of rock and roll memorabilia on the walls + Customer service is friendly + Plenty of parking Cons: - Took a while for a BLT to be served, despite the restaurant not being that full If you like Americana and paying homage to days gone by, or if you're just a fan of old school music, don't be too "American" and use the drive thru. Park your Hummer and get inside the building to check out the tunes of rock and roll greats and browse the great wall art.
(4)Carolina B.
Fast food at its best. Fresh deli sandwiches with great bread and excellent ingredients. Awesome crinkle fries as well! I love that they have a drive thru for those lazy weekend days when I want a good sandwich and a coke, but want to keep my yoga pants on! I love the American Sub, it's probably my favorite sub around. When nowadays Subway and Jersey Mikes are considered "good" this place is a saving grace. My boyfriend is a fan of their burgers as well as the chicken philly. And don't forget dessert, one of the best Italian ices around. Yummy yummy!
(4)Calab N.
The food is nothing that special. I enjoyed my italian sub and the homemade chips, but the pizza is not that great. I am a fan of the decor. But one thing they could do better is make it less cluttered. But overall the service is up to snuff and they get the job done in a flash.
(3)Ryan S.
Had the Patty Melt and sweet potato fries. This place has great atmosphere. Lots of eye candy, too.
(4)Theresa C.
I've been a fan of the Augustino's location in Carol Stream. It didn't even know that this was right in my backyard. I've been driving past it on Route 59 and had no clue. What a great surprise. I was so excited! The food is just as tasty as the other location. Great sandwiches and sides. I haven't tried anything else because I can't break away from the corned beef reuben. It is the definition of awesome. I also love the baked potato salad as well. I haven't tried anything else but from the looks of my friends' sandwiches, everything looks great. I love the fact that everything is made to order and fresh. There can be a big crowd but they seem to move everyone out in a good order. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is nice. FYI buy the large soda, you can save the cup and get $.75 refills on your next visits.
(4)Michael R.
So you're prepared, this is not a traditional diner as such. You come in and order at the front as there is no waitstaff. This can be a bit disconcerting since the large menu is scrawled all over the walls and you are immediately asked for your order when you walk in. Telling the cashier to stand down didn't help. Also the tables are tiny and don't offer much room for food, much less napkins or condiments other than salt and pepper. I had a hamburger which was unremarkable. Tasted a lot like Wendy's burger. The pepper and egg sandwich was bland as well. The best item we had were the onion rings which were of the crumbly breading variety. All in all I can't recommend Augostino's unless you're really hungry and just want to grab sustenance. Also it's well decorated if you like old time rock memorabilia.
(2)Alison G.
Staff was knowledgable about what GF meant and what was and wasn't safe to eat! Reuben on GF French bread was great!
(5)Kevin W.
5 stars! Heck, 10 stars! I have been going to Augie's for as long as I can remember. From the subs, to the polish, fresh salads to the soups Augie's has nothing but the best! The menu can be overwhelming if it's your first visit, 2nd visit or 20th just because they have so many different delicious things to choose from. My personal favorites are the Italian sub and the polish. Can't go wrong with those! And if you ever have questions... ASK. The employees are always smiling, helpful and ready to take your order when your at the counter.
(5)Kevin S.
Oh let me count the number of issues this place has. Where to begin?, there's no free refills on Fountain drinks. REALLY??? All the kids who work here seem stoned half the time or all the time; no random drug testing for employees ?? The menu is limited and food is mediocre.
(1)H D.
I've only ordered through the drive-thru, and service has always been great. My wife loves their turkey grinders and I've had most of their deli subs. Very tastey and very filling. The portions are rather big for such reasonable prices. They have an italian ice with different flavors which is pretty great as an after meal treat. Hoping to make it in for a dine in experience.
(4)Allison A.
I have always really enjoyed auggies. This past year I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and I thought I old never have their subs again. Luckily they proved me wrong. Their gluten free sub bun is amazing. GF bread tends to be super dry, but this was anything but dry. They have other menu GF items as well. I have yet to try them because I cannot get away from the delicious sub. I always get the turkey with oil, lettuce and avocado. Delicious. I also used to order their homemade chips ( before being GF) and they were seriously the most amazing chips ever. My only complaint- I wish they were cooked in a different fryer than the other items so I could enjoy them again! (Cross contamination issues ). Keep up the great work!
(4)John S.
Ever go into a restaurant and say wish my food looked like the picture... Well Augustino's is that place. The Sandwiches here are loaded and put together almost like a form of art. I can't say they look to good to eat because it is quite the opposite they look too good not to eat. Everything here is also made fresh. No presliced wax paper here all meat is cut to order. The dinning room is also always clean and has lots of great rock and roll stuff to check out while you eat. Been going to both locations for years and will continue to do so. For Sandwiches Augies can't be beat. Hands down best sub in ChiTown.
(5)Mike U.
Nothing special. I have had much better Italian beef and sausage before. They nickel and dime you for everything- including a little cup of ranch sauce. This place is definitely not anything to write home about.
(2)Betti B.
you know, I've had better experiences at worse places and this place could use some help. They have GF bread and the sandwiches are good, But the wait was indescribably long. 9.99 for a gf sandwich is very high. The prices on the drive thru board for multiple items did not match the receipt prices.
(2)Jin Joo L.
This place is pretty good. I just wish I hadn't ordered the Reuben. I just don't like really salty meats and corned beef to me is salty. I would definitely love to try their other stuff. The coleslaw was pretty decent. They have this side thing where you can get sides or salads. Not sure how it all works still but the staff is VERY VERY friendly and will take the time to help you out. Seems like a great place for families or groups or whoever. Not sure if they had a drive thru... I think they did. Located next to Steak N Shake and hard to miss. I did try a bite of their Italian sub.. a super duper choice.

I had a chance to get back to Augie's yesterday and what a treat it was! Around 1 o'clock in the afternoon I realized I was starving and remembered this place was just down the street. I called and ordered a Turkey Grinder since I know they take a few minutes to make and getting back to work was imperative. I walked up to the counter and paid for my order and they handed it to me fresh from the kitchen right after. I took it back to the office and devoured it record time. The sandwich was pure bliss. Crusty bread with turkey, lettuce, tomato and the perfect blend of seasonings. Now if Augie's would just open a location in Phoenix life would be great!

I have been coming here for years since I was a kid. The food is great!! And would give 5 stars on food alone. However the service has always been meh. I always feel like the attitude is "our food is good so I don't have to be extremely nice". If anyone in your group asks a question, the counter help makes you feel stupid and they just have an attitude about them. That said I come here for the food not the service. Keep serving good food and I will deal with service.

Augustino's is like a Hard Rock Cafe....only for the suburbs...a deli. It has a bunch of rock and roll memorabilia on the walls, just like Hard Rock Cafe. They have a pretty full menu with burgers, home-made chips, wraps, sandwiches, pastas, salads, and more! You can eat in, take it to go, or go through the drive-through. I got the California wrap, and I was impressed with how huge it was! You definitely get your money's worth. The food was definitely better than what I expected. To me, it wasn't 5-star worthy, but it's definitely better than other fast food places or a Subway!

If you've beeen disappointed by Portillo's, try this place. Excellent combos. What Portillo's used to be.

Food was good, but unhappy with the $0.25 charge for a cup of water! I spent $8 for a sandwich, they could have thrown in the cup!

Based on today's experience, I felt I had to write a quick update to my review and add that our family's experience was without a doubt a 5-star experience! Basically, we went into the restaurant in the afternoon to request a loaf of long bread - we buy it on occasion as we love it. By chance today, we were told they were all out (or on very low reserve), but were waiting for another shipment to come in. 'Felipe' asked for our number and said he would contact us if the second shipment came in. We gave him our number and didn't think much of it actually, we actually later in the day were going to just buy bread elsewhere. 20 minutes later, we get a call from the restaurant from Felipe. We were actually surprised! The bread had come in and he said he had saved us a loaf!! I felt this was extraordinary customer service! ON TOP OF THIS - when we go to pick up the bread, HE GAVE US ANOTHER LOAF FREE! Wow! Extraordinary! Totally worth of a 5 star review for today's service! Thank you!

This place is by far one of the best sub sandwiches! We are frequent visitors and have probably 1 time or another had everything on the menu, we have used them for catering hot beefs and giant cold subs! The service is great! Family favorites include American sub,Italian Sub, and the italian beef. Add an italian ice to your order!

Cute place, always wanted to go to a diner type place! I had something simple- chilli cheese dog- so didn't get to sample other foods that seemed more unique. But would love to go back and sample those items

Been going to Augustino's since I was a kid at their other location. Their food is honestly out of this world good. Sandwiches have large portions of meat, the bread and other fixings (lettuce, tomato, etc.) are always fresh. And those homemade potato chips are to die for. It's pricey for fast food, but a screaming deal for the quality and quantity you get. A total family favorite.

Went to the West Chicago Augustinos location for lunch today. This place is awful! The atmosphere is so dreadful. The employees don't want to be there & it shows. No hello greeting or thank you either. Workers seemed to be bothered by the interuption to take care of guests. Waited 20 minutes for an italian beef & the restaurant was empty. The absolute worst italian beef I have ever eaten in my life! It was luke warm at best with a clump of flavorless beef all glued together like a nasty grey fruit rollup. I would have rather had the papa charlies from the grocery freezer. This is coming from a loyal 22 year customer (Carol Stream Augustinos location) eating at least 1 to 2 italian beefs a week. This is my 3rd visit to the West Chicago location & it is my last! This place is not anywhere in the same ballpark as the Augustinos in Carol Stream. The Carol Stream location has friendly workers, a good fun atmosphere, excellent food- taste & quality, consistant product, fair prices & good portion sizes. West Chicago location has none of these!!!! Pass on the West Chicago Augustinos. There are better options out there.

It's ok, not super awesome but ok. I won't go out of my to go there.

First of all. Kudos to all the Lombard Yelpers reviewing Augustino's. Way to represent!! Yeah, we get around. What a fun place!! Augustino's that is. It has a 50's rock motif and is full of fun, cool knick knacks. The menus is great and has a little something for everyone. They serve you like a Culver's does. We stopped in after church and had a blast. The wife and I had the southwestern wrap with was large and in charge. It tasted great. I had some veggies on the side. The kidlets had some corndog bites and veggies. Pretty nice place. Clean and good food for the money.

The blues brothers right in front, classic greasers themed place, somewhere you can see a girl with a poodle skirt going to back in the day. Too bad the worker's outfits don't match but that's ok They are known for their deli, so i gave their meatball sandwich a try, with provolone cheese and a side of french fries and chocolate shake. I will rate this on 3 things: Service, Food variety, taste Service: very considerate young people who understood that it was our first time and helped us by answering all our questions (****) Food Variety: they have burgers, hotdogs, meatball sandwiches, deli sandwiches and more! (****) Taste: meatball sandwich: you can tell its a blend of meats which is a good thing, but i have had better. the bread is toasted and the sauce is good (***) chocolate shake: thick, chocolate-but not super sweet, just right, wish it wasn't super thick though (***) fries: i love fries, and they must have fried this in a different oil because they look like portillo's fries but don't taste like them. Definitely have their own identity. (****) Overall I give this place a 3.5, but I'll round up for the service i got It's a good change from panera and other sub shops, and doesn't have the portillo's fast food feel to it. But it does have a competitor right next door (steak n shake). Food is ok, not great but it's good, have to try at least once, especially if you're a local
(4)Ben U.
Auggies has a very good ham grinder sandwich. I've tried other items but always go back to their grinders with sweet peppers. Cheese fries could be better and the drive thru can be slow at times- but overall good food.

It's a little deceiving to get into this strip mall if you're trying to make a left turn into it (NB Rt. 59 or WB North Avenue). There's a left turn lane going north on Rt. 59 that looks like it's too far from the Menard's. Take it. Otherwise, make the left turn onto North Avenue and take the left turn lane that seems to pass by Augustino's. Go in there (instead of a u-turn) and make the left behind the Steak n Shake. They have their own parking lot and a drive thru. The place closes at 9 during the week and didn't push us out, but did turn off the music and some of the outside lights right around then. The service is good. It's not a sit-down restaurant so you put your order in at the front counter and they bring it out to your table when it's ready. I had the pastrami on rye with stone ground mustard. They were nice enough to tell me it would be warm, which I thought it would be. They gave us our tray with our drinks, straws, and napkins on them. My friend had the egg salad and we shared an order of the sweet potato fries. The pastrami is very thinly sliced but they give you a good portion for the $7.49 price. I don't really like sweet potatoes but can deal with sweet potato fries. These were pretty good and the skin was still on them. My friend's egg salad was pretty plain and didn't finish the last 1/4. Overall, I'd go back to try some of their other sandwiches and burgers.
(4)Phil K.
My whole family loves this place. Great food, great atmosphere and very good service. They make the best sandwiches around.
(5)Brian G.
It's a deli with kitschy crap all over and a fairly deep menu of sandwiches, salads and assorted entrees type dishes like pasta, pizza etc. Soup was adequate and seemed pretty pricey .. Sandwich solid and pretty cheap. Not particularly friendly, got my order wrong, won't take credit cards for under $10. It serves a purpose if in the area.
(3)J D.
A friend usually finds the one item on a menu he likes, and orders that one item from then on. I am usually far more adventurous. However, he recommended the "Combo" at Augustino's, and it was SO awesome I have yet to try anything else. Both the beef and sausage are the among the best tasting I've had. At every bite I am reminded just how bland these ingredients have become elsewhere. [Bite] Delicious! [Bite] Scrumptious! [Bite] Wow! Maybe not the best in the WORLD ... uh-hem ... but damn, it's good! As a side I get their home fried chips. Fresh. Fried. Potato Chips. Yum! (Ya gotta get 'em fresh out of the frier -- I've gotten half-soggy, lukewarm chips once in a while.) I like 'em so much I have yet to try another side. What have I become?!? Hate to base a review on just two menu items out of an extensive list, many of which sound spectacular, but I can't bear to miss out on the combo and chips when we go there. What can I do? :)
(5)Alix H.
First time at Augustino's. Unique atmosphere - ordered the Italian Beef sandwich. It was delicious! Staff was very friendly and helpful. We took sandwiches to go.

I pass this place every day on my way to and from work, so I decided to stop and grab some dinner for my dad and me on my way home. I ate here a lot in high school because one of my friends was obsessed with it. Back then, I usually got some sort of turkey deli sandwich or salad, and I remember really liking it. They also had a to die for keylime cheesecake (one of my favorite things in the world). They didn't have it this time when I went in - not sure if they were just out of it or if they stopped carrying it (the last time I was there was literally at least 6 years ago - I remember the last time I went there my friends and I grabbed lunch before going to see "White Noise" at the movie theater, so you have an idea of how long ago that was) My dad told me what he wanted, and it sounded good so I got the same thing - the build your own burger with grilled chicken breast instead of a burger, cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onion, tomato, lettuce, and honey mustard with a side of fries. The fries were REALLY good - perfect amount of done-ness, not overly greasy, perfectly salty. mmmm. The chicken was good, not great. However, I had eaten a huge lunch only a few hours earlier, so I wasn't really all that hungry - I was planning on eating my dinner later, but it smelled good so I decided to eat it right away. My dad seemed to really like his. There was something a little odd-tasting in my opinion on the sandwich - I think it might have been the honey mustard, but I'm not totally sure. They also really pile on the onions, so I took a few off - no biggie. The sandwich itself was HUGE. I ate half of it and saved the rest for the next day (which it still tasted good then, maybe even better. Like I said I wasn't hungry when I ate it so that's probably why I didn't love it). It's expensive (our two orders were $15 total), but they definitely pile in the food. Overall it was good, and I will be back. I'd love to try the angus burger (not sure why I didn't order that in the first place), the vegetable panini, and some of the traditional deli sandwichs.

Needed a bite to eat post workout so I decided to opt out of consuming the 1,100 calories and 90g of fat that come with the classic frisco melt and fries (steak n shake conveniently next door) plus my mint oreo shake and try something different. I'm not sure why I never checked Augie's out, the giant piano and guitar on the outside of the buildling should have caught my attention, but shakes usually win me over. It was near closing time, but the staff was very patient with me. I had NO idea how the place worked, so the guy up front (I think the manager), walked me through the menu. So sweet of him! I went with the southwest chipotle wrap and sweet potato fries ($6.50ish), and my sister ordered the california wrap ($7) and home-made chips. Both wraps were sooo HUGE that neither of us were able to finish (lunch for tomorrow!). My sweet potato fries were a little undercooked, but a few of them had a good crunch...I'd give it another shot. My sister's chips were delicious! They were topped with parmesan cheeeese. I found my hands reaching onto her plate more often than my own. They have a huge menu...subs, sandwiches, burgers, melts, wraps, all ranging from $5-$8! I'll definitely have to go back and try more!

scrumptious food! Augustinos has a mega monster menu,its almost too much.Hard to make a choice.Being a veggietarian I can cut the choices in third but still have 80% more choices then most places so right there I love Augustinos! The prices are pretty cheap for the huge amounts you get. I have had the eggplant sandwich and the veggie sub,both are soo tasty! I would probabaly go with the veggie sub next time its so refreshing and topped with tons of veg,lettuce,sprouts,cucs,onions ect.! Opt out of the cheese you dont really need it the rest of the sandwich has so much flavor you dont even need to the cheese or extra calories. One of my fav things is the decor,I had elvis staring me down while I ate and Marilyn sitting next to me:) The also are very green...The cups arent plastic they are made of veggie!! They staff was nice but the clena up boy asked us how everything was about 4 times, kind of
(4)Dan N.
I have never had anything that blew me away yet never had anything that I didn't like. They have a huge menu everything from deli sandwiches to hotdogs and burgers, salads and pastas and Pizza. Great atmosphere and fun place, great place for Kids and Families.
(3)Tracy S.
A little on the expensive side, but I have never had a bad meal here.
(4)Matt H.
Augustion's is very solid. For one, they make the best veggie sub ever. I would seriously consider becoming vegetarian if there was a location near me. The veggies are always fresh...the tomatoes are tasty even in the thick of winter. But I've tried several other items at Auggies: turkey club, italian beef, turkey wrap, party sub, etc. Everything is solid. I mean it's fast food so it should be judged based on that- but to me it's a step above that. My brother used to live near here so I've had their catering before which is awesome too. I'm out in this area every now and then and if I am I always make it a point to stop at Augistinos
(5)Alex A.
I often go here for my lunch while I'm at work. You cannot go wrong with the sandwiches! My fav is definitely the Italian sub. They also have a slew of other salads, soups and pasta to feast on. Enjoy!
(5)John P.
Ran across using the yelp search. Very nice find. Good atmosphere for fast food. Fried pickles were very good. Pastrami and turkey Ruben sandwiches very large and excellent. Fries were also very good. Food was delivery in less than five minutes. Will definitely come back
(5)Phillip A.
Excellent deli food. Our favs are the Turkey/Bacon Club/The Italian Sub and the Italian Beef w/sweet peppers. Consistent in quality and I like the fact the West Chicago location has a drive-thru. You gets your moneys worth here.
(4)M K.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Augies! We have tried lots of things on the extensive menu...the chili is yum and their subs are absolutely scrumptious! We used to order them every year for a work meeting (which no longer occurs) but everyone looked forward to that event! Prices are average for the type of place it is...other than their by the pound salads which I think have astronomical prices attached to them. (hence the 4 rather than 5 stars) Also...the teens that work there are not really all that friendly to speak of, but the managers and non-teenage workers are very friendly and make an effort to greet you (especially when you are a regular customer)! Would I recommend to a friend: Absolutely! Would I go again: Absolutely! Suddenly I have a hankerin' for an American Sub!
(4)Vince A.
Finally got to the hailed Augustino's last week for a quick dinner in the area. I was surprised when I walked in to find tables open (oh wait, this was West Chicago, not Carol Stream). We ordered the italian sub (mighty tasty), meatball sub(good, but not great) and the kids had grilled cheese and hot dog. Kids ate their whole meal which is new. It's certainly good, maybe not 5 star good, but good. Service was fine, maybe a touch slow since they weren't that busy.
(4)John M.
I am searching for the best Italian Sub in Chicago, so I had to try Augustino's. I went to the West Chicago location. It was good, but I have had better. The bread was good and fresh. The ingredients were just OK, not great. I like it spicy, and had the giardineria, too. A great Italian Sub will have a mixture of salamis, hams and cheeses, lettuce, tomato, plus spices and sauces that all offer some excellent flavors in every bite. This one didn't provide that WOW factor. I will just have to keep trying. On to the next place!
(3)Michael G.
This place has the best Italian sub ever. Please stop charging for tap water.
(5)Kevin B.
I have the same things to say about the West Chicago Augie's as I do the Carol Stream Augie's. Great food. Maybe slightly pricey, but worth it. This one has a leg up on the Carol Stream one because of the layout. Where the Carol Stream location makes you feel like you'll be shot if you don't order right, the West Chicago location lets you order at the register in a much less rushed and chaotic environment. All the good of the Carol Stream location without the bad. If you have a choice on which to go to, visit West Chicago.

My friend and I went on 06/04/11 to this place. The inside of the deli ain't much but is decorated with some memorabilia from the good ol' days :D Well, we came here to eat, right? Then onto the food ;) You start out by ordering up front and they will deliver your food to your table. My friend got the Eggplant Parmesan and I got the Philly Steak Sandwich (both were sub-like buns). Mine came with fries since it's a platter (which is basically a plate). Also got Cheese Styx for both of us. The Eggplant Parmesan was simply poured onto a single sub-like bun, which the customer is supposed to fold himself. My friend had a hard time trying to fold it without everything spilling out, especially the parmesan. He just gave up and ate it like toast. My Philly was semi-folded on a single sub-like bun, but was much easier to fold. My sandwich was great. The Eggplant, besides being unfoldable, was good too. The Cheese Styx were OK, as long as they were hot. So as a fast food place I'd say this is a pretty good place to try. Oh, if you're gonna order drinks get the biggest one because all sizes cost the same $1 and they don't do refills (some weird new policy??)
(4)Joni M.
Love me my Augie's! I hate to admit it, but I lived in the area for almost 8 years before trying it. I did drive through one time, but didn't see anything on the menu that caught my eye, so I left without ordering. What a shame at all that time wasted! We now go there about once a week, and the food is amazingly good. I usually get a California wrap, but their Italian beef is also top-notch. Way better than Portillo's. Way better. Their dogs are great, the grilled cheese is super good too. Honestly, the only thing I've been slightly disappointed with was the meatball sandwich, and that was still good. I much prefer their homemade chips to the fries, but that's me. The best part about this place though? The Italian Ice. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. We have always had great experiences with the service, and our orders are always correct. One of our favorite fast food joints to go to.
(5)Christen D.
Great food! Great service! We love Auggies!! They have such a huge menu- there are so many options to choose from! The original Italian is the best-order extra oil on there-the best! Only down side is their location in Carol Stream has more sides to choose from-I was hoping for the marinated mushrooms-they don't have them at W Chicago but thats nothing........we love Auggies!!
(4)Michael o.
12 bucks for a 12'' italian sub dollar an inch and it was nothing to write home about

The West Chicago location for this small 3 location chain. They have the best Italian Beef and Egg Salad sandwiches here!

I have been going to Augustino's for many years (at both locations), and I am a huge fan. The decor is fun, the service is fast, and the food is delicious! If you are in the mood for pasta, salad, sandwiches, chili...they have it all! Whatever you are having, add one of their cold sides! I love, love, love the cold pasta salad and the marinated olives. If I liked tomatoes more, I would also be addicted to the caprese salad (marinated tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil). The kids meals are also a deal because they come with the meal, the drink, a side, and a dessert! We got the Italian ice and it was a huge portion that we had to take home.
(4)Nicole L.
This is the second time I've ate at an Augustino's, although it was the first time for this location. The food was bland. I won't be back.

Great classic deli/beef joint in the western suburbs. While this is not the original (that's in Carol Stream), it's a worthy member of the family! Great place to get killer Italian Beef. They also make great deli sandwiches any way you like, including some fine pastrami. I like the Italian sub, no oil, extra hot peppers, or the small Greek salad with peppercini peppers on it. The walls are lined with some real, some fake rock n roll memorabilia, and there are plenty of flat screens around to watch the game, if you're so inclined. This Augustino's has a drive through, too. My only complaint is they charge you for drink refills, which reminds me too much of Portillo's... But other than that, a worthy destination in the Western Suburbs for beef lovers. PS -- Yes, they DO have outdoor seating! Yes, they deliver to offices!
