    Everything you remember in the Rodgers park location and more. Pro tip: Balboa w/everything.....

    The great Northern Italian sub.

    Great sandwich and soup. Just like I remember. I asked for it toasted. The soup was fresh and wonderful. I wish it were closer to my home.

    Been a while since we were here and it was just as good as always. I got the highflyer and I'm telling you having radishes and hard boiled eggs and your sandwich makes all the difference.

    Still the best sub sandwiches. My favorite is the South Sea. My husband loves the Balboa. Support the last surviving location.

    Generally good food. Closed 15 minutes early for no reason today. Glad I didn't get a ticket getting her in time.

    It's still one of my favorite sandwiche joints. I just wish they would bring back the variety of soups they used to serve.

    Hands down best classic subs in all of Illinois if not all of America. Thick cut meats, awesome bread, and the best sauce.

    I started going to Captain Nemo's when I was at New Trier when it opened, and loved it as a student.

    Cultura Subs - Steak Jibarito

    Cultura Subs

    (136 reviews)

    We definitely ordered more than our family could eat from our first Cultura Subs visit, but it was…read moresuch a welcome treat. Some standouts for me were the steak jibarito, the Philly cheesesteak, and the shawarma bowl. The staff also gave us a freebie which was so thoughtful of them! I think it was an app, but I honestly didn't get to try it since my partner devoured it before I got a chance. No matter, we were stuffed regardless! We ordered takeout, and the food was still hot when we tucked in. I can only imagine the menu is even better in person. If you're in the mood for some cultural crossover cuisine, I highly recommend Cultura Subs if you're in the area!

    Discovered the rough way that they aren't a legit sub shop. Something else. Instead it's a catch…read moreall fusion restaurant that dishes up zabiha halal fast foods & Persian. So. Some leeway is required. Damn Google search. I asked for submarine sandwiches suggestions on my homeward travel and this popped. Ordered their namesake Cultura sub, a chicken shawarma and they also offer a Persian menu, so lamb stew. $12.95 sounded too interesting but I didn't notice you must also buy rice separately ('because how can you eat stew without rice! She said' ) additional $5.95 for dill. Honestly, $17.95, yes, this sounds more like the correct price point for a small lamb leg. The dill rice was real. The lamb leg comes in a tomato based stew with beans. I wasn't impressed with the leg, quite bland but the rice could have acted as a carrier for any other stew side or with a topping of shawarma, just as nice. The sandwich was mid. Bread dense. I might be missing something. I wonder now whether the breads are also Persian. Perhaps barbari or a thicker taftoon. If you enjoy Persian it could slap? Personally not impressed especially given the out of pocket around $50. Lack of details on menu items with additional pricing is somewhat aggravating. One and done. At the time of order, a young woman was having tea service. I am not sure whether that is offered to everyone or a specialty enjoyed by the owner with their staff & friends.
