    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.

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

    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.

    Updated my review with pictures of the best tuna subs in town. During Lent, it was a blessing. Love…read morethe music as well!!!! Love this place!! My favorite Tuna of all time. The staff is always so nice. The ambiance is cute and charming. The service is speedy with a great attention to quality. Their sandwiches are excellent. From the tuna, to the Donald J to the Perricone.. I am going to try their paninis next. And then move on to this "Let's go Brandon" . I love the way they run their business. How they see what is truly going in America. DONT BACK DOWN. And DONT GIVE INTO THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY. First amendment is always key. And always remember that these leftists think they are the majority but they're just little insecure sheep. The restaurant is extremely clean. I have read the negative and positive reviews and the negative ones aren't based on any sort of facts just based on the fact that Perricone's is owned by conservatives and the leftists in our area don't like it. We are many, and the leftists know it. If you have a chance to stop on by this sandwich shop, make sure you also try their soups!!! I forgot to mention those above!!! They are so worth it! My only regret is that I bought a very small serving and didn't have any left for lunch the next day!!! I wish Perricone's would actually claim this business on Yelp so they can see how many people in the area actually applaud them!!!

    It was just okay, super basic meats with some sort of aioli or dressing....very expensive for the…read moresmall amount of meat on the largest sandwiches. Bread to meat ratio was way off. Not horrible but nothing to write home about. This is a pic of a the largest turkey sandwich they offer; like no meat on there Definitely need to add some more meat or offer an "extra meat" option. The food was tasty on a scale of 4 stars but the high price, lack of meat, and kind of messy built sandwiches bring it down to a 3 star. Try for yourself, I'm happy to support local and pay a bit more but needs to offer more, especially to retain new customers. Also.....when the sandwiches were being made I wasn't asked what condiments I wanted on anything, I think all of the meat used was cheap....it also seemed like an imposition to be a customer ordering food from them, mom and daughter didn't give the most welcoming, friendly or helpful vibe. not much love or appreciation shown for $100+ purchase

    Cafe Zupas is always a great fast casual food spot. I've come to the Schaumburg location many of…read moretimes for a quick, healthier lunch when running errands. Their menu has rotating/seasonal items added often but classic staples that you will always see. You can get a single selection or a Try 2 Combo which lets you mix and match the salad, sandwich, and soup options. The Combos also come with a dinner roll and chocolate dipped strawberry. This visit my husband and I shared our meal. We got a Try 2 Combo where I ate the Avocado Caesar Salad and dinner roll while he ate the Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich and Strawberry. The meal is $14 but is easy to share or fill you up independently. Some of my other favorites are the Tomato Basil Soup with Ultimate Grilled Cheese and my husband often gets the Mangoberry Salad. Parking can be a bit tough as they share a parking lot with Trader Joes. Tip: All locations are closed on Sundays!

I got the Hot Honey Brisket Sandwich to go, which came with a chocolate-dipped strawberry, and a regular soft drink on the side. The sandwich was nice and warm, and all the ingredients went well together. The brisket was pretty good, but I couldn't really taste much of the hot honey. Overall, it was still a good sandwich and I'd get it again. Next time I'd like to try their Burger Bowl since it's new on the menu.
