2 dry me submarine sandwiches asked for replacement very rude!!

There customer service they are VERY RUDE!! Asked for 2 replacement sandwiches. Took my receipt the guy was a jerk!

Regular turkey sandwich
Lisa M.

Mr. Sub is one of my go-to sandwich spots! The turkey sandwich is my favorite and I just love the mayo they put on it. Not sure if they make it and it's their own, but it tastes so good! Their prices are decent for what you get. I just wish they would put a little more meat on the sandwiches. I have noticed that they have been using less meat and the prices have gone up quite a bit, which I get because of the horrible inflation. If they at least added a little bit more meat, that would be 5 star worthy. Overall though, good subs!

a piece of plastic wrapped in plastic

I have given this place so many chances and today... I am officially DONE with eating there... I have ignored going there, sitting in the drive thru & no one shows up, I've ignored ppl at the window with gloves on..taking your money, then fixing food with the SAME gloves (I know.. GROSS) the list goes on.. I was about to ignore the fact that I ordered an Italian beef , dipped well, got home and it was as dry as a desert! .. what I cannot ignore is biting into the sandwich and feeling a weird texture in my mouth. I reach in and pull it out and it was a piece of plastic! I immediately spat everything out and sisnt eat another bite.. felt sick to my stomach! I am soooo done with this place unsanitary practices! I will take my leave before I end up getting some sort of virus!

Mold!

1/8/22 This was my first and last time eating at this establishment,(Downers Grove) I am highly disgusted with the food service that I received! I ate majority of a molded sandwich without even noticing until I was almost done eating the whole sandwich. I thought maybe it was a difference in location why the sandwich tasted a little different from Bellwoods location that I frequently Dine at. I have been sick to my stomach all night and the next day!

Veggie sub on wheat bread.

It is lunch time again. That means I try to eat healthy during this time of day. Look @ what I found: a veggie sub that is very good. Lots a veggies. You can get it old school (tomatoes, lettuce, onions, cheese, sauce) or with everything (add banana peppers, green peppers and cucumbers). You even have a wheat bread choice. Their fries and other sandwiches are very good, too. I recommend the grill chicken and gyro sub. Also, there is a guy that works there that REALLY makes a good sandwich. I love it when I see him there and makes my sandwich. Nice place and they treat me right there. Nice old school music (if you are into that kind of thing).

Mr. Sub with hot giardiniera
Heidi K.

Yay, Mr. Submarine! I used to frequent the one in Berwyn, as I spent a good portion of my twenties in the area. Since then, it had been quite a long time since I had one of their sandwiches, and one day the craving hit. No way I was going to drive to boofoo for one, and I was excited to see this location in DG. Without hesitation, I trucked on over. This location has a drive-thru, but I opted to go inside, as I knew I'd need a few minutes to look over the menu. I'm not one of those morons that pulls up in a drive-thru and sits there for five minutes deciding on my order. If you can't commit to your meal in under thirty seconds, go inside folks. Don't make the people behind you wait forever just because you're indecisive. I ordered a regular Mr. Sub with everything, and added hot giardiniera as well. I also opted for a side of Mac & Cheese Bites. The cashier was friendly, but between orders, she'd flirt with her coworkers and have personal conversations that patrons could obviously hear. It was a bit awkward, as there were only 3 others in the restaurant besides myself, so you could hear every word. Finally my order was ready, so I grabbed my food and made my way outside. First I checked out the Mac & Cheese Bites. Reminiscent of the Arby's "Mac & Cheesers" (yeah, remember them), they were hot and gooey. A side of Ranch is included for dipping. The sub was great. Just as greasy as I remember from ordering them at 3 a.m. after a night out in the bars. The addition of the hot giardiniera was the perfect accompaniment to the meats and veggies on the sub. The only part I forgot about these subs are that they look deceiving. I was only able to make it half way through my sandwich before I was full, and I didn't even get the "King" size. I wrapped up the other half to save for later. I'm so glad there's a Mr. Submarine in the area. Next time the craving hits, I will certainly make the short trek back here.

By this point, I think Berto's has earned enough recognition in DG to be a historical landmark like…read morethe Tivoli Theatre. Not only does this shop fully support the community -- even naming sandwiches after nearby schools, they also have a wide variety of delicious offerings. I haven't lived in IL for about 10 years and I decided to take a walk down memory lane and visit Berto's like I did regularly so many years ago. It hit theeee exact same. Family traditions so strong you can taste them in every bite and they've now carried that torch successfully for nearly three decades. This family owned Deli is exact place you want to support and the best spot to stop for lunch or a quick to-go dinner to bring home to the family. They also have prepped frozen pasta and sauces. Parking behind the building and cutting through the alley makes it easily accessible.

Stopped by Berto's Deli & Pasta Shoppe for a casual lunch and came away with mixed feelings. It's a…read morecute little neighborhood spot with both indoor and outdoor seating and a very low-key, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely the kind of place that's easy to stop into when you're looking for something simple and unfussy. We ordered the Italian beef with hot giardiniera and a garden salad. The standout for me was actually the bread--it was fresh, soft, and really elevated the sandwich. The beef itself was decent, but it was drier than I expected and didn't have as much flavor as I was hoping for. Thankfully, the hot giardiniera added some much-needed moisture and spice, which helped bring the sandwich together. The garden salad was very basic--just lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes--but the Italian dressing was excellent and packed with flavor. Sometimes a great dressing is all a simple salad needs. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would come back, but next time I'd probably skip the Italian beef and try one of their deli sandwiches instead. Based on what I've heard and seen, that seems to be where Berto's really shines.

In light of Rosh Hashanah, we were looking for Jewish places to eat and came across Schmaltz Deli…read more We never knew there was a Jewish deli in the area and boy were we missing out. As soon as we walked in, we knew it was going to be a great experience. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables available as well as a traditional deli counter. They also have a drive thru! You can choose to order at the counter or be seated with a more traditional restaurant-like service. Our waiter was young but very professional and provided great recommendations. To start, they bring a complimentary bowl of bagel chips (a unique twist and a great way to repurpose old bagels). For my meal, I had a half American sandwich with a bowl of matzo ball soup. It was simple but delicious. On our way out, we stopped at the deli and ordered a few rugelach. They tasted so fresh! My favorite was the apricot flavor. Definitely hope to be back real soon to support such a great spot! Shana Tova!

3.5 stars, but rounded up because I didn't feel they deserved any deduction…read more I was REALLY looking forward to their #20 Old New Yorker, which I got in their Navel Cut pastrami. It was a solid 7, which is why I place it at 3.5 stars. I may be being picky here but it just wasn't to the level of "melt-in-your-mouth" pastrami standards for me. Not to say it wasn't good, because it was perfectly fine. In fact, it's better than most of the pastrami sandwiches I tried in Chicagoland. Maybe it's the fact that I had to bring it back to the office to eat it, and half hour had gone by and pastrami weren't as warm and the Jewish rye had become soggy by the time I took the first bite. I mean, it goes without saying that the sandwich would have been 3 times better had I sat down immediately and had it. Again, all things considered, it was a perfectly good sandwich. One interesting thing was that I had never been to an establishment that included a half sour pickle instead of a normal one and gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. Pickles can be a hit or a miss for me. I like my pickles to be crunch, but some places offer overripened ones that become borderline mushy. Schmaltz's half sour pickle was not overly salty or sour, making it very attractive for me. The more I'm thinking about it, I'm convinced that I'll have to go back and try their #14 Sloppy Paul, which is the corned beef with sauerkraut, which is another favorite of mine. And this time, I'll be sure to dine in and give another review of it to see how much I like them better.
