If you are looking for a perfect deli sandwich, look no further!!!! Rosie's is a cute, small establishment that is creating sandwiches with BIG flavor! They're quick and efficient with a great selection of sandwiches. I personally would recommend the R.O.I. It is a beautiful sandwich made with prosciutto, burrata, sun-dried tomatoes and balsamic glaze. It's light and fresh while packed with flavor perfect for a warm summer day. Truly a sandwich to dream about!!! I would also like to give praise to the meatball sandwich- beautiful juicy all beef meatballs paired with cheese and a delicious home made tomato sauce that feels like a warm hug in your belly! read more

TL; DR: The ROL and Italian subs are delish. The only reason for deducting stars is because I feel like the bread could be better and some of the items in the sandwich fell out while eating it. Great amount of "goodies" in the subs though read more

Local small business located in Logan Square neighborhood. I have been meaning to try this and finally decided to check it out. They have daily specials. On the day we ordered they had a 2 for Tuesday, which was $12.47. It includes two 6inch sandwiches. Not all sandwiches are included but there was turkey, beef and pork options. We grabbed the cow (roast beef) and the Italian. I was able to order easily online and personalized options for our sandwich. The order was ready for pickup in less than 10 minutes. Everything made as ordered. Downgraded to 4 stars as meat was light. I am not sure if this was because of the special or just how much meat you get on a 6 in. My husband was still hungry after a sandwich so next time will get bigger size sub and maybe try the soup. They also have desserts and other sides at this location. read more

I LOVE THE CANNOLIS HERE!!!!!!!!! I get a cannoli every time. The chocolate chip one is my fav but the og pistachio hits too. The dirty dorito sandwich was so good!! Honestly so smart and saves me from squishing chips in myself lol! Split pea was tasty and love the add of grated parm and oyster crackers! read more

I ordered an eggplant parm sandwich for lunch from Rosie's the other day and it was an OK experience. Like I thought on the order screen, it was listed as an 8" sandwich, but what I received was definitely not bigger than 6". Then the bread was kind of just... soft. And the eggplant and all were kind of OK. Not crispy and kind of just mushy. Part of it is the delivery experience, I'm sure, but I didn't get the feeling that I would have enjoyed this in-person either. Maybe their normal cold sandwiches are better - idk. read more

I've always passed by this little sandwich shop in California and have always wondered what they got. Finally I had some time to pick up food for lunch and the hubby placed a phone order for pickup and the rest was history. It's a tiny shop on Logan and California, so don't blink or else you'll miss it! I lucked out and found parking right in front of the shop, actually I was illegally parked but just put my blinkers on as I was on a mission to do a quick in and out! The service was fast and efficient and got my food in about 5 min or less. I ordered the turkey sandwich with cheese and when I got home, I was expecting your usual sub sandwich comparable to Subway or Jimmy John's. When I opened up my sandwich I was surprised to find fresh deli meat in there and the sandwich was dipped in some sauce. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted my sandwich all dipped and wet but once I bit into that sucker, I was pleasantly surprised that I really loved the taste. It was a very tasty turkey sandwich! I would totally order that again! Can't wait to try all the other things on their menu. Heard also that they are one of the only sandwich spots in chicago that makes a muffuletta sandwich. read more

WoW! I recently helped a friend pack & move. Ugh... I know, right!?! We were starving by the time we finished but couldn't really settle on a place to eat. Surrounded by fast food & convenience stores, we found this AH-MAZING deli/sandwich gem! Rosie's Sidekick It's a complete standout of a place where your sandwiches are made to order... just the way you want them! It's a not your average "run of the mill" type of sterile setting like a large chain... it's quaint & packs a powerful flavor punch! The sandwiches are stuffed with freshly sliced home-crafted meats, cheeses with an array of fresh vegetables & condiments like the homemade Al Pacino sauce, fresh pesto, garlic aioli & the Italian dressing. (just to name a few)! The bread is baked fresh daily by a local bakery, D'Amatos. (Just 5 ingredients in most all of their bread(s)! Tasty & healthy, too! I especially enjoyed their Meatball Sub with marinara, Italian Beef & the ever popular Muffulatta again, all homemade! Thank you to Freddy, the owner, who guided us through the deli journey & also recommended the homemade cannoli! Yum! What a sweet way to end our day! *They also have a location across Schaumburg across from Woodfield Mall. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ‼‼Update‼‼ Rosie's Sidekick also does large orders & caters for parties/events. read more

Very good sandwich. A little pricier than most subs but it was heavier with meat. I would go back read more

Ordered for delivery - GREAT sandwich, fresh and tasty. Dirty Dorito was great. Minestrone soup and cannoli were great too. 10/10 read more

Objectively one of the worst "veggie" sandwiches I've ever had. Just a bunch of jarred vegetables dumped on top of vaguely toasted bread and cheese that is sort of warmed? An oily and somehow flavorless mess. My bad for having trusted a place that clearly only has this sandwich as an afterthought. read more

Needed a quick lunch after the gym and decided to take part in Rosie's Wednesday lunch special: any 8 inch for $8.95. Ordered the Deluxe Italian on their website and it was bagged and ready when I arrived. I was greeted at the door and given my sandwich with a smile. It was packed with meat and fresh veggies and the thinly sliced onions with the oil & vinegar are spot on! I will definitely be back to try the Italian beef. Great quality and quick service. read more

Will definitely go back. I ordered quite a few things on the menu and looking forward to trying others. I really enjoy sub sandwiches and find options in the Logan Square are, while good, still limited. Rosie's is a great option for a neighborhood deli sandwich. I'm a soup-should-be-on-the-food-pyramid level soup fanatic and they have a lot of options here, which melts my heart! It seems real small business family vibes. read more

We got the caprese sandwich. All ingredients were fresh and delicious but it was so dry! It barely had any dressing on it. We came home and and added a lot of olive oil, vinegar and basil. read more

Great local spot - 4 stars because while over-stuffing the sandwich is great for the overall value of the delicious food you're getting, it's kinda hard to eat without being cut in half. Also - should've gotten it hot, not cold. I know for next time! read more

Good food and nice people! Food was made fresh and ready when promised. It's a pickup and go place. A few chairs inside while you wait. A variety of drinks are available too. Italian beef, BLT, Caprese sandwich and the New Orleans Style Muffuletta. Everyone enjoyed what they had. I had the beef, it was very good, not the best I've had, but I would definitely order it again. One other comment was to put a little more on the BLT. The Muffletta and Caprese were both a hit! A couple of cannoli's to top it all off was a delicious way to end. Job well done and I'll certainly be back. read more

Sandwiches are the best and prepared well. They are on the pricey side but I love them a ton. Never had a bad sandwich from this place. Make sure to remember it's cash only as well, their Italian sub rules. They also have quality chips and drinks too which is a requirement for a good sub place. The staff is definitely on the quieter side but in the multiple times I've been there my order was correct and served quickly. Everyone here who is criticizing them seems to forget that working in service isn't always fun, they weren't rude but they aren't going to be cheery and honestly I don't care. I don't need to be buttered up and it's nice not having to make small talk while waiting for my sub. Also, they have never been outwardly ~rude~ to me, just quiet. Some people just want their asses kissed, I'm not that customer so take that for what you will. Anyway, the food is good, fast, and done right. Five stars for a good sub, always and forever. read more

My partner and I always try to eat local and we found ourselves wanting sandwiches. We found a neighborhood gem. Owned by super nice people who use fresh ingredients to include some homemade breads such as on the muffuletta. We did the picnic basket for 2 when we found it on their menu (they also have larger baskets) and decided to have an impromptu picnic. To our surprise when we got to a shaded area a little plastic picnic blanket was in the bottom of the basket. Thank you for the great lunch and great picnic. read more

Super disappointed in meatballs-dry and weird tasting. Maybe better not delivered. around the size of a Jimmy John's slim.

The online menu prices don't reflect the actual current prices -- very deceitful. The actual prices are much higher, like the new Al Pacino sub is $20! Just insane. I'll take my business to Humboldt Haus! read more

First time ordering, i got the Tuesday Special - (2) 6" Deli Subs for $12. It is a good deal to try a couple of subs without a huge commitment. Overall, great bread, quality meats and cheese, fresh toppings. They weren't stuffed, but certainly not skimpy. Definitely worth a try! Toasted Ham & Cheese - I was a little worried when I first unwrapped it that there wouldn't be enough cheese, but it was all there and really well balanced, great sub. Cold Classic Italian - Again, really nice balance of great ingredients. Unfortunately, they do not specify that they use Balsamic Vinegar - I wouldn't call that 'Classic Italian' and ruined the overall sub for me. I will try to specify Red Wine Vinegar next time and then it would be perfect. I splurged on the Italian Wedding Soup ($6.50 for 8oz!). Again, it's not a Classic Italian Wedding Soup, it was more like a light Minestrone with meatballs - But it was good. read more

It may be the yummiest meatball I ever ate. I was watching my carbs so ordered the meatball keto bowl. My co-worker had the meatball sandwich n loved his as well. Super friendly. Great lil gem read more

This review is called - I should have gone to Jimmy John's! Have you ever been excited to try a new place? Well that was me an hour ago. That is NOT ME NOW! The lady at the counter was HORRENDOUSLY RUDE! I ordered a quick meal through Uber Eats. I was excited to try their Koolaid but found out it's no longer available. I decided I would buy 3 drinks. She rang up my sodas and I pulled out my credit card. She SCREAMED - CASH ONLY?!? There were no signs that I saw. Ok though. How about you make a sale by saying "Hey we don't accept credit cards but if you'd like place an order through Uber Eats for the items and you will be good to go." Long story short - DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! Also the cannoli that I ordered was not "piped when I ordered it" It felt cold and sad :( Just steer clear of this place. It's just not worth it! read more

Such a perfect turkey sub. Filled me with a deep sense of gratitude for life. Highly recommend adding the giardiniera. This was a sandwich of significant heft, would probably hurt if you threw it at someone. read more

Sandwiches divine. Fresh bread and great assortment. They deliver too! Yum! I had tuna sandwich. Husband had the super italian.

There are better sandwiches elsewhere. The sandwiches are decent. I suppose I've gone here because it's convenient and the workers are nice. I've only had one short-lived interaction with the owner, but it was pretty weird and inappropriate in my opinion. 'Twas so off putting that I won't ever go back here. Don't assume things about your customers and don't ask them to pass out flyers for you. If you have diarrhea of the mouth and lack self-awareness (especially about how you might be implicitly biased) it is probably better to stay home. read more

Okay, full disclosure...After reading the negative reviews, I went in here for lunch today, really wanting to hate this place. I placed an on-line pick-up order and drove over to get my sandwich, fully expecting the employees to be a-holes and the sandwich to suck. None of that happened. I parked in the loading zone out front, walked in, the guy behind the counter said, "Sup?...You here for an online order?" I told him I was, gave him my name, he handed me my sandwich, and I was on my way. Granted, my exposure to the guy behind the counter was limited, and I very well may have not liked him if I got to know him better, and he may very well have been a 1st class d!ck, but for the purpose of what he and I were trying to achieve with that interaction, I think it went well...For both of us. I got home, opened my sandwich, and it was a solid looking turkey sub. I'm kind of a sandwich snob, so I doctored it up with some Marconi "medium hot" giardiniera relish and some of my home-made oil, vinegar, and Italian seasoning, and then dove into the sandwich with 2 hands while my two 160 lb English Mastiffs stared at me from the couch where they sleep 23.5 hours per day with a look of envy on their faces. The sandwich wasn't mediocre, as I was expecting it to be based on some of the reviews...It was actually pretty darn fantastic! I wouldn't say that it's the absolute best sandwich in Chicago, but I would put it in my TOP 5, and that's saying something, because I also frequent Bari, L' Appetito, J.P. Graziano's, and Conte Di Savoia...Not to mention Manny's, although Manny's is a completely different kind of sandwich shop, obviously. I am definitely going to be returning to Rosie's, in fact, I'm going to add it into my lunch rotation...And if the guys/gals behind the counter are mean to me in any future visits...Screw it! I'm not going to let some a$$hole get between me and a damn fine sandwich. read more

I only tried the muffuletta, but it was great. In particular, I loved the sesame covered bread and the olive relish. I would definitely return for that, but they also had a bunch of other Italian deli sammies I'd like to try too. read more

Damn the Italian is amazing! And the cookies at the counter..look for the almond ones! Dynamite! And ooo the meatball, that is stellar! Go figure, I met the Owners sister visiting from Italy while I was there! I went to the namesake Sicilia up On Lawrence and am sooo happy there is a place to get great Italian on their awesome bread! This place will give all Italian subs a run for the money with the olive tapenade spread...a dreamy delight! read more

Looking to cater an event? Rosies Sidekick should be on the top of your list. Fred and Sam were super helpful in planning the perfect amount of food for our 120 person event. On top of being super communicative & making the planning process stress free, the food was top notch. Sandwiches, pasta, potato salad - it did not disappoint! (Seriously though, all of our guests kept asking "where is this from??" ). Good people & even better food are hard to come by these days - Dont sleep on Rosies! read more

I had the Italian sandwich (my go-to sandwich) with everything including giardiniera and it was delicious. I usually don't order with the balsamic but I think that might be my new favorite addition. When drizzled over the onions-**chefs kiss*-it just takes it to a whole other level. I love Bari, and Humboldt Haus but I would put Rosies up there with them as equally amongst the best in the city. There seems to be a lot of reviews towards the staff and customer service--I can't speak to that as I've only had great experiences. read more

Amazing find! When I used to live in Chicago I remembered the original Rosie's in Westown and I was thrilled to find them in a new location and still putting out amazing sandwiches and cannolis! Best cannolis and muffuletta is the city, wish I had this back home in Florida cause it is a gem that isn't to be missed! Definitely would return. read more

You don't get to be mediocre and mean.... Both visits have been bad. I can accept an overpriced and poorly made sandwich from someone that doesn't make me feel like I've bothered them. I didn't come into your living room, I went to the place with signs on the window that appeared to be operating a business. I won't be back and unless you're starving and working a block away like me, you shouldn't either. $13 for a prolly made sandwich, using whatever ingredients they have left in the cooler. read more

Meh, meh, super meh. I had this place in my bookmarks forever! But the flavors just didn't hit. I had the eggplant parmasean, and the flavors was bland and just not worth the time/money spent there. read more

Rosie's has been my go to sub shop for over a year, it's my every Sunday stop after the farmers market on my way home. The cashier, Rose, always recommends a different sandwich every week and the recommendations never fail to exceed my expectations. The guy behind the sandwich prep table, I believe she mentioned is her brother, always has my sub ready in less than 5 minutes. My dog, Bruno, receives a slice of turkey every time as well!!Will be back this Sunday to try the Eggplant Parm! read more

I've been coming here for about a year and it doesn't get better than this. From the owner to the staff you always get greeted walking in. It's like going to Grandmas house to eat. They are a small business that supports small businesses. YOU NEED TO EAT HERE! read more

What is up with not offering any seating?? None. Not even stools where there is a window ledge? I get that you are a small establishment but at least offer 3 to 4 stools. We ordered a Turkey sandwich to go. It was decent. Humbolt Huas has similar sandwiches and they have seating and better sides and is less money. The meat here was skimpy and so was the mustard / mayo. Though I want to like this place I dont think we will be back. read more

Good sandwich and welcoming service! Perfect for a grab and go picnic on the boulevard.

I have passed by this place numerous times and finally stopped in. I am so glad I did - my sandwich was really delicious! I loved the bread they use, it really adds to the sandwhich.
