WindyCity Cheesesteak & Turkey Sub plus THE GUTS!

Shahrooz E.

I must be the LAST PERSON in Chicago to have discovered this gem!! This is what a sub should be!!! Soft yummy bread... tangy toppings and fresh meat!! Combine that with a very friendly staff that serves real life happy meals with a smile and you just can't beat it!!

Len L.

After so many years past, I still enjoy the subs here and the guts are still the best ever where they serve every sandwich with a fork. I literally ate every sandwich combination here. Other than the price going up the quality is top-notch. The interior is clean and they do disinfect after each customer leaves the booth due to these Corvid times. I recommend Peppo's to all who enjoy a classic sub.

Came here Saturday at 3:53 PM. I ordered the Windy City cheesesteak 11 inch sub. Online ordering had it for $12.95 plus tax which was exactly $13.85 and the menu board inside the restaurant also had the exact same price. Somehow I was charged $17.58. Then when I asked the girl why , she told me the Windy City is double price and the most expensive sub they have. Well that's clearly not true, based on your online ordering and also your menu board. I did not get any extra toppings. So why was I overcharged $3.73. Did she leave herself a tip, put some other stuff on my receipt? Who really knows. Then when I actually got the sub it was terrible. It was NOT Philly steak at all, it was literally Italian beef meat. My family was disappointed. Italian beef meat and Philly steak is not the same thing. I did complain to the restaurant, it's been almost 2 days so no response as of yet.

The day I stopped by to get a pesky BF FROM yelling at me...I made him order GUTS for breakfast.

There are sandwiches and there is Peppos. Let's talk ambiance of this original place of delicious architecture. Upon entering this spacious restaurant that can seat parties of over 30 people comfortably (I only say this because I wish I had 30 friends and lunching alone makes the space seem even more grand). Although the space is pretty huge for a deli spot, the staff and owner makes everything feel so cozy and warm. The decor is simple but branded smart with definition of proud craftsmanship when it comes to deep roots of family created recipes that leave you salivating for GUTS!!! GUTS...you have to have it to not request it on your sandwich. No way can you deny the GUTS! WHO THE HECK COMES TO PEPPOS AND deny GUTS? the lady ahead of me in line with an Afro so big I couldn't see the menu. Not that I needed to...I want pastrami, mustard, Swiss and GUTS...ALWAYS! I wanted to shout to the lady...hey! You have to get the GUTS...otherwise...go to Arby's up the street with those bland a$# taste buds... Since being loud in public is frowned upon...I kept it to myself. PEPPOS is my fave place for gutsy reasons...tell the owner...60465 Clarissa said it for a small discount on pop and chips....

Arrived late on a Saturday, 1/2 hour before closing. (Not an issue) First time here. Ordered a pastrami and salami sandwich toasted. Included the garlic "guts". Not your traditional Sub sandwich. But the new flavor variety was pleasant and a nice change. The "guts", a medley of diced pickle, onion, garlic, and tomato spooned atop of the sandwich as a garnish. Area was very clean, great parking and friendly staff. Soda fountain Dr Pepper had the right carbonation / ice - syrup balance. We will return.

Great place for lunch! Friendly staff, so many options! Love coming here to try the different sandwiches. You also gotta make sure to throw in "The Guts" and toast your sub! Try the sandwiches in different combinations, you'll love them all! Did I mention their staff is friendly and patient?! Two thumbs up every time!

Dannon T.

The best sandwich I've ever eaten at any location across the United States. I travel 40 weeks out of the year and I've never had a sandwich as good as this one. Not only do you get great quality ingredients with the staff is awesome including seeing the owner making sandwiches back there. They also have a great place to sit and enjoy your lunch. I highly recommend if you're anywhere near this location to stop in and try one of their sandwiches.

This place is great. I wanted to try their new item: cheesesteak. Although the ingredients are all good quality the sub itself was not what I expected. Cheesesteak's taste and look resembles Italian beef sandwich. Beef was in thicker slices and not chopped up into small bits, green peppers had somewhat large pieces too. Sandwich comes with guts so if you want more of a classic cheesesteak don't order everything on it. read more

So I went to Palos on an adventure with my best friend to just get some polish food. At least that is what I thought. But she insisted on going to lunch somewhere in the area. We both looked on our phones and looked at some pics. She came up with Peppo's. I didn't want to argue so I drove us there. I did not think I was going to like Peppo's for one reason only: I don't like a lot of "stuff" (referring to the guts) on my sandwich. But I said "hey, it is just a sandwich, just go ahead and eat the thing and go home." Boy, was I wrong. I got the 7 inch Italiano Due with garlic guts, toasted. Man, that is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Garlic guts and an Italian sub is the way to go. Very tasty. Just the combo of the two I couldn't get enough of. The guts were not over powering. The garlic guts takes the sandwich to a whole other level! (I'm a nut for garlic. That is why I am excited while writing this review :-) The sandwich was not sloppy. Most important: soft, tasty bread. You can purchase "guts" separately if you like. Peppo's, thank you for being open during the pandemic! I HAVE to go back this summer, for real, for real! read more

Been going here for 15 years. I have always enjoyed eating there. The sandwiches are great, and of course, I have a favorite. Today my friend and I stopped in to eat. I have just one question. Why subject your customers to music so loud we couldn't hear each other. And country hillbilly on top of it. Yuck. Give peace and quiet a chance. P.S. get some recycling containers for the glass/plastic bottles. Also, this place is not cheap. read more

Peppo's has been slipping as the last 2 times I've gone there, the sandwiches were skimpier and not as tasty as they once were. Since I've been a Peppo's patron since the 70's I was really disappointed, they were always so good previously.

Whenever I have occasion to travel to south side of Cook County, I stop here for a sandwich. The subs are tasty because the owner has perfected a topping of chopped onions, tomatoes, pickles and other ingredients that is referred to as "guts" which really exemplifies the taste of the subs and the hot dogs. If you've never tried the food here, stop by at least once and give it a shot. Really good tasting food. Highly recommended! read more

So, I love everything they have going on here except - the bread is so chewy - that all the fillings and guts fall out! The bread on it's own is fresh and good - but with toppings.....I have never made such a mess as I do when trying to eat a Turkey Sub with Guts from Peppos. More than half of the sandwich gets squished out of the bread while eating. read more

From the Business

Specialties

We serve a unique selection of sub-sandwich creations, lovingly prepared and topped with our signature homemade recipe of "Guts", which inspires the endearing and enduring phrase, "We Got Guts!". So, what is "Guts"? "Guts" is our signature sandwich topping that has made Peppo's locally famous. Its our hearty and fresh, homemade recipe of tomatoes, pickles, and onions that are combined, marinated, and seasoned to form a unique flavor that transcends the taste of any single ingredient. You simply should try it once, as it is, even if you think that you won't like it! A key aspect of the Peppo's "Guts" recipe is our secret seasoning, which is a harmonious combination of dry herbs, spices, and other ingredients that complements the "Guts" and the sandwiches perfectly. The final, if not wholly essential, part of our recipe is the Peppo's original homemade dressing, which is top secret, of course, but here's a hint: is based on a mild version of an aged vinegar and oil recipe that truly has widespread appeal. Indeed, it is the ultimate finishing touch atop what always promises to be a wonderful sandwich experience. Oh, and we also have Italian beef sandwiches, chili, soups, salads, and hot dogs, with "Guts", of course! It's all good!

History

Established in 1976.

The time was 1976, and the place was rural, southwest suburban Chicago, where three members of a Jazz band decided to give rise to a dream. Bands of another sort--off-road motorcyclists--were the market at that time, who, including the three partners, would meet to ride together on the area's trails and open fields. There was no place to eat after a demanding and dusty day's ride, so Peppo and his partners seized upon an opportunity to make big money selling food to the motorcyclists. What could possibly go wrong? The mission was to satisfy demanding appetites by uniquely combining a salad and a sub-sandwich into one, using a secret recipe of sub-sandwich combinations, topped with "Guts", which represents the double meaning of innards and competitive spirit--the latter of which most certainly represents the passions of the Peppo's team--and continues to be the core of Peppo's food products and business.

Meet the Business Owner: Peppo, Sr and Peppo, Jr. P.

Peppo, Sr. (Jim) is the founder of Peppo's Great Sub-Sandwiches in Palos Hills. Peppo, Sr. served in the Army, in management at Sears, and competed in enduro motorcycle racing. Did we mention that he was also a Hippie? Yeah, he was, and he played drums for a jazz band. Jim is truly one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Peppo, Jr., also an Army Veteran, who was largely raised on and in Peppo's, has taken to the business with youthful energy, and is now responsible for operations Peppo's Subs. Under Peppo Jr.'s philanthropic spirit, Peppo's now engages heavily in local festivals, and he has worked to expand Peppo's now popular catering business, and to get Peppo's featured on "Chicago's Best", Windy City Live and countless more shows and newspapers.

Was in the area and was craving shawarma. I saw a recent video of someone reviewing a bunch of…read moreshawarma spots in the area and decided to try their pick for number 1 for beef shawarma. It was pretty good, the best part was sitting in front of their fire oven they use to freshly bake their soft pillowy bread they use for their sandwiches. The bread was definitely the best part! Usually shawarma sandwhiches are in a wrap, but these are so much better. As far as the beef, it was good, not my favorite as far as flavor wise, but still pretty good. Fries were literally exactly like McDonald's which are the best. Glad to have tried this place for sure.

Decided on a Saturday early evening to try Nashmi after hearing a ton of raving feedback…read more As I approached, the parking lot was packed, nowhere to park, 11+ cars stacked in the parking lot waiting for the drive thru, it was chaotic. I decided to park next door at the McDonald's to avoid the mayhem. I walked into Nashmi and no line to order, however they did have 19 people working on one line, and yes I counted! After seeing that, it made me really think these guys must be busy as heck! Ambiance was nice and very clean! Tables with high top seating across the windows. Would not be an ideal place to dine in with a large group so something to keep in mind. As I approached the register, I was greeted and told I would be taken care of shortly! So far so good! I decided to order the "Nashmi Chicken Combo". I was told it was a sandwich that came with chicken tenderloin, flame grilled and served in a house made bread with garlic and pickles. Combo meant it came with 2 sandwiches and 1 order of fries and a drink. However, I didn't get my drink, it was such a confusing pickup process and no communication on to grab a soda or not. I spent $14.99 so for that much food, I guess the drink can be overlooked. I received my order, walked back to the car and now the food. I don't get it. Chicken was bland, bread was good but small, the overall sandwich was just nothing special. Maybe 5 pieces of chicken total in the sandwich. All I really tasted was the garlic sauce, which was phenomenal by the way, but I came here for the protein and the chicken was just underwhelming. The fries were equivalent to McDonald's but they were good, not seasoned or salted but still tasted good. Hot sauce was average. I ate one sandwich and felt terrible that all I ate was 80% bread and 20% chicken. I don't even eat the second sandwich. Overall not sure what everyone is waiting in line for or what this hype is. This doesn't even come close to the other middle eastern shawarma shops on Harlem Ave. I can understand if you have a very weak palate or cannot tolerate too much spice or flavor but a line out the parking lot is kinda crazy for this.

Jeesh! Be nice!! It was another customers coupon cards... how the hell am I supposed to know. Suffice it to say, my order took 10 minutes longer then it should have. While other customers walked in and out.. before mine was done. Next time, if I come back to this location, I will just wait til I get there to order so I don't sit there for 15 minutes being ignored.

They are more expensive than the big grocery stores which makes sense, you get a better cut of meat - it's in their name - PRIME is not select or choice and you get what you pay for. So, now what have I had? Oh, their take away sandwiches, veggies and salads make for a fantastic lunch! Boar's Head and the little roll are so good. The roll is "little" in the it is not long, but I guarantee it is just as much bread as a longer roll from those "subway" or "jimmy's". It is a square ciabatta roll topped with VERY generous portions of delicious meat. So much meat that I usually end up not eating all the bread. I am a fan! So good, very accommodating owners and employees. You get what you pay for, if you are cheap and want super processed crap, go else where. If you like yourself, treat yourself!

I ordered the Poblano Benedict, two poached eggs with chorizo, a little cilantro on top, all sitting on a roasted poblano pepper held together by an English muffin. From the very first bite the chipotle hollandaise sauce took the spot... wow. Creamy and smoky, just the right amount of heat. When the yolk mixed with the sauce, it took the whole thing to another level. Easily one of the best breakfast dishes I've had in a while.

Tastings are available, though it can slow down the speed of the line. There are only a few, 2-seater tables for the option to dine in. There's more seating available near the entrance. Think forest preserve, picnic style. Parking can also be tricky, but there are spaces right out front and directly across the street. There's a tight lot in the back. For my first visit, I had the lavender honey. It was so good, if you like sweet like I do. The portion sizes were great for the price. I look forward to many more visits to try the various flavors.
