I'd agree with Bob K completely, since I thought IMO(hadn't been to a Penn Station yet) that it was better than Subway, but wasn't quite as good as Jersey Mike's. Ordered a Philly Cheesesteak sub, and while it wasn't bad, it made me wish that a Jersey Mike's was in this area instead. At least the bread I got it on(Parmesan Asiago) wasn't bad, though. Why I didn't go here before instead of the nearby and worser Subway one or 2 visits back, is beyond me. I'd be fine returning here, in case I get another hankering for a sandwich/sub in this area again. Rather patronize other sub chains over Subway, anyway! read more

Subway supremacy. They give barely any meat slices and the tomatoes taste like GMO or AI, like they are created in a lab. I went once. I learned my lesson. read more

Menu posted indicated "Meal Deal" which included sandwich, chips, cookie & a drink. After ordering and finding out EVERYTHING was priced alacarte...this is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Ended up costing over $30.00 for 2 ham & cheese subs, chips, small soda. YIKES!!!! It should NOT be posted if NOT being offered. Asked service person why is it posted if not being offered...her reply..."I don't know " Again extremely DISAPPOINTED!! read more

I ordered the tuna fish sandwich it was dry (needs more mayo). Service was good. Ambiance was good.

I was craving a cousin's Italian sub so I jumped on Yelp to see what was close to me and this location was close so I drove over. Street parking was out front but the area is metered and you get 12 minutes for a quarter which is cheaper than a parking ticket so why gamble and just put the quarter in. Three people behind the counter and I'm standing there for minutes with no one even acknowledged me and when the guy was finished making food he thought it was a good time to start sweeping the kitchen as I'm still standing waiting to have my order to be taken. When I finally got to place my order I was told that they didn't have the meat for the Italian and did I want something else, NO the Italian is only sandwich that I stop at cousins for. How the F does a sandwich restaurant not have sandwich meat and can't you in an emergency get some from another location in a pinch. read more

See all

I haven't been to cousins in a long time.... I got the wi cheese steak and my lady got the tuna toasted. Both were all bun hardly any meat or tuna... Needless to say I will not be going back. Jersey mikes, jimmys, and even subway is better.... Do better cousins read more

Online app will not take a same- day order. Okay, but then I stopped at the shop to find zero customers but got informed of a one hour wait despite three employees working. read more

Really can't believe how bad Cousins has gotten. I was at a meeting and some Cousins catering was brought in from this location and the lack of any sort of taste was just unbelievable. The bread doesn't taste like bread. There is literally no taste of any meats or cheese because there was literally almost none of them in the sandwiches. It just tasted like you were eating tasteless bread with some old warm mayo in between. I looked around and people were pulling off chunks of bread trying to get to anything with some taste. Just awful. read more

cousins subs this is a very valued customer and I would like to say with the $10 combo meal that you guys have going on the online order it should be in store. Also, a lot of people do not shop online and all the other restaurants having specials and deals and you can go inside the store and get it. I think you guys should reconsider. Thank you. read more

I ordered 3 Club Subs from Cousins. I usually order from the Miller Park location, this time I was directed to this location. I've ordered subs from this location before and I've never had any issues with this restaurant until today. The sandwiches were perfect, but the bread was a bit hard, like they either over baked the bread or it was baked 2 days ago. The sandwiches were still quite good though which is why I left a 4 rating. read more

This does not look like anything they advertise, very disappointed. Not to mention I wanted everything on it, tomatoes green peppers cucumbers and onions... read more

Cousins Subs - a meatball sub in a wrapper - Sandwiches Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Used to love Cousins subs...not anymore. No oregano...tomatoes the size of a quarter. There were only 3.....not worth the price. Won't order again. read more

Service was pleasant inefficient and error filled. Never got my cheese curds ( thankfully not charged) or salad dressing. Food was good but not likely to return read more

nothing changes with this delightful sandwich shop. Italian special still my fav. Cheese steak hot or cold always a winner. They moved resently & i have to uber to new local but its worth it read more

Customer service was very nice and friendly, both John and Valerie were hospitable. Turkey sandwiches was delicious and fries hot and fresh. Tiding up the floor behind register will complete 5 stars. Thanks read more

They messed up our order and gave us the wrong sandwiches. I called and the manager was excellent. She stayed calm and took care of the problem right away. Mistakes happen. It's all in the way you handle it. I appreciated the good customer service. read more

I came to this restaurant i ordered one half sub and a whole sub, the lady who was checking us out made us both get 2 full subs and charged us the price of two whole subs. Then they messed up one of the subs which was a philly cheese steak, they didn't add the jalapeños I asked for and overall they added small amounts to everything on the sub. so we got bad service and a messed up order read more

The Cousins team made my day with their kindness and holiday cheer! The manager I think working the grill on duty yesterday 11/30 was amazing! I was having a rough day and she was super kind and made my day with a little holiday cheer. I wish I knew her name! read more

Cousins Subs - Holiday note from Cousins team member! - Sandwiches Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Having only recently moved to Wisconsin, I'm a big fan of Cousins Subs (not a Michigan franchise). The garlic bread is awesome, and combining it with the Italian sandwich (pro tip: ask for it hot), it's a combination that was meant for each other. Add the 2 for $1 cookies, and you're in for a great lunch. With that being said, this location is absolutely horrible, and unfortunately it's the one that is closest to me. The staff here is so unfriendly, unenthusiastic, and sometimes downright rude nearly every time I've been here. Unless you're really craving a cousin's sub (sometimes I just really want that bread!), I'd instead recommend the Jimmy Johns about a block away or the Potbelly's (yum!) down Wisconsin. read more

Because of the location I've ordered delivery from here a couple of times and been in to eat. It's not as well run as the other Cousins I've been to, the table tops are often not clean and the workers exude disinterest and angst. Delivery orders are never correct. Workers don't seem keen on hand washing. Why two stars? Well, the place is actually slightly better than the nearby Subway. read more

I love a Cousins sub as much as the next Wisconsinite, but man this place is gross and slow as molasses. Every time I go into this location the counters are dirty and it takes forever to pay for your food. This past week was my last visit. After I considered an order to go, I saw the state of the sandwich counter. Gross. Then saw one of the employees swatting a bug on the back counter and then flicking the dead bug behind the counter. Really? Bye. read more

We've been eating Cousins Subs for a long time we have our favorite sub sandwiches this last two times we've ordered Cousins Subs we ended up receiving nothing but junk garbage sandwiches won't be ever eating at Cousins Subs again . Hello subway sandwiches . read more

If you order online, one's order isn't even ready with half an hour lead time on off-peak hours. Good luck if the order is correct.

I really enjoy the Tuna Sub has never disappointed me - fresh- on time- I have to order for delivery as my health isn't what it should be for now But I love the Tuna Sub & will re-order again & again‼ read more

I was told "we ran out of bread" Which translates to "we're not making any more subs but thanks for stopping by. It was a little under 15 minutes left before closing, so if this breadless sub place indeed had no bread Survey says, Not buying it. #Breadgate read more

This sub was extremely tasty but they didn't pack the meat like I was anticipating. The cheese curds were amazing though. Service was not anything special but I'd definitely go back. read more

We had never been to this chain and decided to give it a try. Best way to describe this place is a cross between Jimmy Johns and Penn Station. Better than Subway, but not nearly as good as Penn Station. This chain started out in Milwaukee by two cousins in the 70's and has grown but remains family owned to this day. read more

To be kind in the first sentence only, I do enjoy your cheese curds and Mac and cheese. However, on the three times in the past week that I have visited cousins subs, they have denied making me a milkshake (similar to Peter denying Jesus Christ three times). This is odd because the milkshake seems to be your main focus of your advertisements showcased at Marquette University. My personal favorite encounter occurred today when the employee made two milkshakes in front of my own two eyes for the costumers before me, but then told me he was unable to make me a shake with no explanation. I did see ice cream in the machine, and the store was open for two more hours so I don't see why I couldn't receive one. This is simply unacceptable. I do not recommend this establishment. read more

Here's the thing. If you are actually eating "at the restaurant" the food is great. However, if you are having it delivered to your home or office, forget about it. Save your money. They use a 3rd party delivery company and the food you receive will NEVER be adequate. If you don't mind having a old refrigerated sandwich than sure, go for it. But if you order anything at all that is hot, hot sandwich, fries, cheese curds....they will not show up hot. Additionally, if you are ordering at a preset time for a meeting for instance, if you place an order for noon, rest assured the order will show up at 11:00 a.m. read more

It's a shame that this wonderful sub shop can't find competent employees that care. Service is the worst and they apparently don't care about their job. Woman working the counter sitting on a chair can't even keep orders in line. A meatball sub takes 1 minute to make and I was the only customer. Then 3 more walked in and my sub was still not ready. It's a meatball sub, did they have to roll meatballs? She definitely was not a happy camper. Could t give a one star cuz the sub was actually not bad . Service is everything today. Maybe my next visit it will improve read more

Not having grown up with Cousins Subs nearby, I admit I tend to forget about their popularity around Milwaukee. But when I do remember that Cousins exists, I always enjoy it. They offer a good variety of sandwiches -- more than Subway or Jimmy John's, I'd say. While it's not my go-to sandwich shop, Cousins is definitely at least A-OK. read more

We had a great experience here. The employees were friendly and efficient. Not what I am used to from fast food. The set up is similar to a subway, where you pick your bread, pick your sandwich, then pick your toppings as you watch them make it for you. I was impressed with the selection of sandwiches, and really liked the calorie total listed on the menu. I chose not to get my favorite sandwich when I saw it packed over 1,000 calories. The meats on the sandwich were supplied generously, making the sandwiches pretty reasonable for the price. They also have cheese curds. An excellent sandwich shop. read more

Tried the new Hot Ham & Cheese. The bread was soggy and fell apart. Everything kept sliding out of the bread. My least fav sandwich.

If you want to wait 40 minutes for a sub - this is the place for you. The service was EXTREMELY slow. You would have thought they were making me a thanksgiving turkey back there. I must say the food is good and their cheese curds are a well kept secret because they are some of the best I have ever had. Clean facilities - the recent upgrade is nice and was much needed. Not a good place when you are in rush and I would not say it was good enough to be worth the wait. This location accepts Marquette cash making it a good stop for students who are looking for lunch on their parents dime. read more

This is by far my favorite Cousins location in Milwaukee.-why.... it was just renovated. But the main reason is you can customize your sandwich with any type of toppings (pepper relish,sauteed mushrooms,jalapenos, pickles, green peppers.I could go on. The last time I was there I ordered ham and provolone cheese sub with pepper jack cheese; They have a Coke Refresh machine. read more

I love cousins but this location rarely ever gets my order right and is extremely slow

If you go in and order you're more likely to get what you asked for. The times we have used online ordering have been terrible. They have yet to get one of our online orders correct. My sandwich today was pretty bad. Dry bread, like it was from yesterday. Mayo on the sandwich, when I specifically asked for Italian dressing and NO mayo. And the tomatoes were half green. I need them to do better. read more

I was under the impression that cousins subs was suppose to be fast. But instead was in line for about 30 mins and maybe 3 people in front of me. I have never seen anyone make a sub so slow. Go to jimmy johns around the corner. At least they can make a sub fast read more
