I think the Chicago dog and the Italian Beef with the au jus on the side were solid, but nothing to write back home to Chicago about. Better than Portillo's, kind of reminded me of Mr. Beef almost. Getting the sandwich wet is usually the rite of passage, but I went for the au jus on the side. Don't make the mistake I did. Everything just falls out of it when you tilt the sandwich to dip it. Also, if you think you can eat hot giardiniera peppers, just think for a quick sec longer because these ones were pretty hot for someone who has a decent heat tolerance.

We stopped in for a drink and ended up catching two different live jazz bands, which was such a great surprise and made it a really fun place to hang out for a while. We both had beers, shared a Chicago dog, and ordered wings. The Chicago dog was good, but the wings were advertised as crispy and unfortunately they were definitely not crispy. So I'd probably skip those next time. Other than that, service was good, prices were very reasonable, and we really enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere and live music. Nothing fancy, just a cool little local spot to grab a beer, listen to some jazz and hang out. We'd definitely stop in again--just not for the wings! they say crispy on the menu yeah not so much. The face wasn't dirty so that's nice. There is an outdoor seating area as well as indoor.

I'm just blown away by this place, I didn't expect for it to be this amazing. The owners must have an anointed divine understanding of fresh food or something.

I chose the Rudy's favorite (provolone, ham, and salami), and added all the fixings: lettuce, onion, tomato, seasoning, oil, and vinegar. They sliced the meat right in front of me and it was super quick to get my order, which was appreciated on a lunch break. I got a diet root beer from the fridge (don't forget to use their bottle opener to open your drink) and grabbed a bag of chips. The sub was probably about 5" and was a good sized portion for me for lunch. They also have a "mom" size and a "dad" size, but I don't know what those look like, I wish they put actual measurements or even approximations. The bread was soft and a little soggy from the oil and vinegar, but it was flavorful and everything was fresh. I would definitely order from Rudy's Sub Shop again - they also have soup or you can get any sandwich as a gluten free wrap!

The food itself was fine. We ordered a traditional breakfast and an omelette. With both meals the eggs were runny. Both of us had coffee and it was extremely bitter. The saving grace of breakfast were the breakfast potatoes which were delicious and the only thing we cleaned our plates of. There was no music playing when we first got there so the vibes were weird but eventually they put some on, we were sat nearish the bathroom which had a certain smell and was pretty unkempt (trash can overflowing, paper towel bits all on the floor) for so early in the morning. Not a major issue but more annoyance, when asked if they could make chocolate chip pancakes we were told no and then about 10 minutes later (our pancakes hadn't come out yet) a table just sat was told chocolate pancakes we're definitely an option. Hopefully a one off bad experience but will not be taking a risk again here.

They will let you try samples in store if you ask. I recently tried their new summer menu and while the picnic burger was delicious, I expected it to be a bit larger for the price (it was on a slider bun). The Hawaiian mac salad was tasty, but was a little heavy handed on the red onion for my own personal preference. I will for sure be trying some other things on their picnic menu, but honestly looking forward to the fall hoping that they will switch back to their regular menu with soup and grilled cheese. I support whatever helps them stay open since I assume soup isn't the most popular option come July and heat waves!

Their menu includes 10+ different soups each day, as well as several sandwiches and some salads. I ordered the garage sale: white cheddar, fresh mozz, rosemary goat mousse, havarti, and swiss on challah. I also got the steak and mushroom soup and the snert soup for Nate. When I arrived my order was waiting for me - it was nicely packaged and secure so everything was safely contained for my short drive home. The sandwich wasn't very melty, I ended up heating it up in a pan myself which helped. It was super tasty, though! I love the combination of cheeses. The steak and mushroom soup was really good, with chunks of meat in a creamy broth. The snert soup was very salty! The menu description indicated the snert soup should have sausage or kielbasa in it, but we didn't notice any. The restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating, but I'd probably just order there next time. You can also get samples.
