Generous and top quality classic subs. Great meat. Good roll. Excellent toppings. My son and I had the Godfather and the Wise Guy. Great flavor and very satisfying. Giardiniera and tomatoes were great. These are a lost art outside of the city. At $6, a 6" classic Bubs Sub is a great value and a freak of nature in the anemic world of suburban sub standard grinders. read more

Wow 5 stars for this sandwich shop! The beef was awesome. Homemade chipotle mayo was great too... Definitely will be back!

Stopped in for lunch. Had higher expectations then what panned out based on the reviews. The menu is all a la carte there are no combos or deals. It wasnt anything special in my opinion. I had the el niño it was 12". It was good and the service was good but the sandwich came out to 14$ after tax which I thought was way high. Ill happily pay 14$ for a sandwich if the place is doing something above and beyond what youre going to find anywhere else but i didnt get that feel at all in service, food, or atmosphere. Basically the same feel as any other chain sandwich shop to me. If you have a 20 to burn and are around i wouldnt deter you from trying it out but definately dont go out of your way to check it out. read more

I cannot rave enough about Bub's Subs! The staff is always welcoming and friendly. Fast service and fresh food! Haven't gone to a Subway or Jimmy Johns since. read more

Local small business with excellent staff and great sandwiches. If your in the area, consider them above all other sandwich shops! The will not disappoint! read more

Amazing subs and fresh, Chicago Italian beef. Love the homemade breads and spicy mayo & giardiniera is delish. Better than Pot Belly and gives Jersey Mike's a run for the $. read more

First time I tried Bubs subs my fiance went in and grabbed me his favorite sub- The Fire Bird...It wad delish! First time I went in I met the owner and was very impressed with the service and tried a different sub (even though not getting the Fire Bird was a difficult struggle as it is so good!) The Three Amigos which I added bacon to...it was phenomenal...Highly reccommend trying this sub shop! read more

I have been to Bub's a handful of times and have never been disappointed. Reading the reviews prior to mine...Yes the subs are a little more expensive than Subway...BUT you get a fresh, high quality sandwich that is twice the size and much more authentic and flavorful. The bread is always spot on. After coming a few times on my own, I decided to bring my teaching co-workers during a conference break. There were 10 people in line and everyone was in and out of the restaurant in about 5 minutes. You can't ask for much faster when each sandwich is being made to order and each person was checking out separately. **The Italian Beef's are about as close to authentic Chicago as you can get this far out in the suburbs. Keep up the good work, Bub's!! read more

Good tasting subs, giardiniera is not all that hot, but has a good flavor. Staff seemed really nice & friendly. Overall good sandwich shop.

Great variety of sandwich and very affordable! And like most sandwich places it's super quick!

Came here for the first time and ordered the cheesy beef with mozzarella and pepper jack... they recommended their home-made chipolte mayo sauce and home-made giardiniera to go with the sandwich for an extra touch. It was absolutely delicious and i will be ordering the beef again. This is my go-to sandwich shop from now on and I will definitely bring my co-workers by to try them out. read more

Awesome subs and the staff is just as awesome. We got their catering for our son's birthday and they were a huge hit!! Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I have not been disappointed coming here yet. The El Niño is probably the best Italian beef I have ever ate in my life!

One of the best sub joints in the suburbs. The Beef is amazing!! They have options that are different then normal beef and sub places. Freshly made Giardiniera is the prefect complement to the beef. read more

The Italian Beef was average, the bread not that great, but the Giardenara was pretty good. Nothing special but not bad.

Love their sandwiches. Usually go with the Club bub.

Best sub sandwiches. We love going here. The guys behind the counter are great, cheerful and friendly. I love that they talk to you while getting your order ready. read more

Seriously the best sandwiches. I love the different kinds of meat other than just the regular Ham and Turkey. I love this place more than Subway and Jimmy Johns hands down. Plus I always have great service read more

Enjoyed the Italian Beef. Great bread, homemade giardinaire etc. The help behind the counter was excellent. They made the place an event read more

Bubs Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

See all

Overpriced for what you can get other local places. I like to support a locally Owned business but their prices need to be more inline.

Subs tasted great and the prices made it even better. The employees were also very nice in assisting us in our order during our first visit. Can't wait to go back and try something new. I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area. read more

I was a bit suprised to see a Chain sandwhich shop out pace Bubs in ranking. This place rocks, Dom and the boys have the best subs in Mchenry county and beyond. My wife and I have returned several times and the quality and consistency is 2nd to none!! This place is becoming a weekend tradition for my family of 4. Keep up the great work DOM!!! Pete & Lisa Cary IL read more

Think Potbellys with better meat, bread, toppings and choices. I tried the club sandwich and was very happy. The bread had a great crunch (after toasting). The meat was fresh. The lettuce was green (not yellow or brown). The guys behind the counter were working fast but still smiled when they took my order and asked how my sandwich was when I was returning my tray. I will definately be bringing the hubby since they have a ton on italian meats and spicier items which he will love. read more

I used to be a Jersey Mikes guy before I tried this place. Everything is just so fresh. And the bread is most likely made in heaven. You can really tell the owners of this place really love their food. I will be a loyal Bubs Subs customer forever! read more

Best sandwich place in the area and I've tried them all. Super fresh ingedients and generous portions. The fresh baked bread is to die for as is the chipotle mayo. I get a sandwich here at least once a week. read more

Amazing! Won't go anywhere else for sub sandwiches in the area. I highly recommend the Godfather, the perfect Italian sub! Also highly recommend the Deep Dish sub, especially with their homemade ranch dressing on it, trust me! Plus the employees are always very helpful and nice, and they have Green River pop, love it! read more

This place is a little over-rated. They pack the ingredients on the subs yet they somehow remain a bit bland. The home-made giardiniera is really mild, in fact, anything on the menu with the spicy label -- it isn't. Additionally, the sandwiches seem overpriced considering their size. Even so, everything seems pretty fresh and the staff is always really friendly. Also, I would generally rather go here than Jimmy John's or some other chain. read more

For the first time I walk in and order the Fire Bird on reccomendation. Best sub I have ever had. Fresh ingredients and a lottle different than corporate slop of jimmy johns, subway, pot belly etc. New customer forever when I want a sandwhich. read more

Bubs is by far the best place for a sub around! I especially love that the owner cares about gmo's and natural options!

Awesome. The guys explained the menu to me. Betty friendly guys. Sandwich was huge and delicious. I never mind paying a little more when it comes to supporting a local business. If you can't afford to spend ten dollars, eat at home please and sop complaining about prices. I love how I got to pick all my toppings. Very good. Will come again when I'm in the area for work. read more

We were craving Bubs because their subs are great. So we tried the delivery. SUPER fast and the driver was extremely cool and friendly - subs were still hot and fresh. Will definitely do it again! read more

Ordered a Chicago hot dog and got something cooked on a grill. Not good! Very limited experience on their menu.

We had two regular sized sandwiches the El Nino and the Firebird and both sandwiched had great flavor. The multiple levels of heat in the El Nino were perfect. Both could use a little more meat for the price, but we will go back. read more

I love going to Bub's Subs. Their menu items are amazing as is, but I love that I can customize my own sub. My favorite sub there is the veggie with two kinds of cheese, yum! The employees are super friendly too. I definitely recommend trying it if you enjoy fresh sandwiches! read more

Huge subs! Ingredients are fresh and delicious. Not a long wait for your food and I was very satisfied with the price points for the sandwiches. I will be back! read more

My husband and I went here today. The first thing that stood out was the service. It blew us away. The guy behind the counter walked us through the different sandwich options they have, made recommendations, and chatted with us pleasantly. Then, once we had been eating our sandwiches for a little while, he asked us how they were. It was obvious he took pride in the sandwiches and wanted to make sure we enjoyed them. The food could have been so-so and I would still go back simply for that level of service. But the food was really, really good! The bread was fresh and crispy from being toasted. The meat was stacked on heartily. There was so much food! We definitely will be going back there and highly recommend Bubs Subs to anyone who wants a quality, gigantic sub and awesome service. read more

Love this place. Everyone is super nice. My favorite is the el nino. All the guys that work there are nice. Kind of pricey but its worth it

I stopped here with my son. He searched places to eat as we were driving. I had a beef sandwich and my son had an Italian sandwich, I must say how awesome the food was! I thought of getting the large sandwich, but the worker told me the small are very filling. He was right. A great beef sandwich and my sons sub was awesome as well. Plenty of quality meats which make your shop preferred over others. The decorating inside could have been a little better, kind of boring. The plastic cup lids really were not easy to put on. Overall I will be back! Keep up the great food and quality meats! The service was great! read more

Outstanding beef sandwiches! Jardinière is AWESOME!! I'm here once a week and prefer their beefs over Portillos and Buona Beef. I highly recommend bringing a tub of Jardinière home! You can put it on any kind of sandwich and it will literally bring the sandwich to life! Very friendly staff as well. read more

Food here is FIRE! That beef sandwich is the best around! I've had almost ever sandwich on the menu. Always friendly and fast!
