Fantastic employees! Kudos to the employees serving us today! I had a turkey, beef hoagie sandwich. I made a couple of changes. I changed the cheese to mozzarella, I asked for raw onions instead of cooked.The sandwich was awesome it included Italian mayo. Out of 5 stars I give Stewies 5 stars! My husband had a meatball hoagie. He had the peppers held. Excellent sandwich, he gave the sandwich a 4.5 stars. We would definitely return. read more

The food here is incredible! It never misses! Every single time it is just as good as the last!! The service is always so nice! Very welcoming and "homey". The ambiance is fun! I like that you can really tell this place has been loved for years read more

Food and service was off the top! Love their sandwiches best in forest lake! Great lobby too!

I had the Italian sub it was amazing! This was my first time there and I couldn't stop staring at the walls so much to look at tha definite eye candy. The price is a little high but the personal attention and everything that comes with it is worth it. I'm excited to go back again read more

Best sandwich I ever had! Visited from CA and we dropped here along the way to Minneapolis and the sandwiches are crispy yet melt in your mouth. The staff is also super sweet. read more

Moved up to Forest Lake area over 35 years ago before buying a home in Lindstrom and I finally made it to this place. Granted it was something else years ago. Only negative thing I found about this place is the overwhelming onion smell in there. If you are sensitive to onions you'll want to get it to go. As far as the food, the most important thing. I had the Hot Italian sub without ham but with extra salami and no lettuce. Sandwich was absolutely fabulous. Will definitely make it a point to go more often. read more

Good subs! Friendly staff! Free parking outside. Seating inside. Lunchtime gets busy so plan accordingly - you may have to wait. read more

Really delicious! This place is very unassuming and doesn't look like very much but their subs are fantastic! Fresh, plenty saucy and generously portioned. With Mr Large Burrito being out of business, Stevie's is my new go-to in Forest Lake! read more

Well, I don't know where to start. We read the reviews after living here 4 years were excited to finally go. They were closing in an hour so we called in our order. My husband has looked everywhere for a baked Italian sandwich since moving here from PA so he was excited also. Me.I love Clubs so he got the Italian & I got the Club. Absolutely terrible! We were surprised because the reviews were so good. His was dripping with Italian oil and hard bread. Mine was dripping with mayo. My tomatos were literally black from so much pepper. Needless to say, will not be going back.Sad cause only a few blocks from home in Forest Lake read more

I was excited to give Stewie's a try because of the good reviews. I ordered my sandwich and was standing waiting for it to be made. I watched the woman making the sandwiches drop a large knife on the floor, she picked it up and put it back on the counter... which made me nervous that it didn't go directly to the kitchen sink... I thought maybe she'd grab a new knife, but no, she used the knife from the floor to put the meat on my sandwich and the one of the customer after me and then used it to cut them in half. I didn't say anything at the time, just took my sandwich outside and promptly threw it in the trash. That's disgusting and clearly unsanitary. read more

Came to Stewie's Subs today on a recommendation from a friend, and that recommendation was on point. I had the Baked Club sandwich, a Stuffed baked potato soup. The sandwich was very delicious, great tasting, the bread was crispy and not too rigid for a toasted sub. The soup was full of toppings and very creamy with chunks of potato. I believe I will be back here again in the future days to come... The staff here are wonderful and helpful, especially for myself being new to the area and new to this shop. I recommend people to come here to eat read more

What a great find! Thanks Yelp. We were out of town and hungry after crafting up in Pine City all morning. We found a local sandwich shop on the way back to the cities and stopped for a late lunch. The cashier was very friendly! We ordered our hot subs and before we knew it they brought them to the table. I got a Rex sub, chips, and a refillable soda for $11. Not too shabby! The hoagie was really good! Roast beef, turkey, cheese all melty from the oven. Onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. Yum! The Italian mayo had a kick to it. Jalapeno? Spicy? I couldn't put my finger on it, but it gave it a nice flavor. I don't think I would have searched this spot out without Yelp's suggestion. It's tucked in the corner of a strip mall where the locals know about it, but not anyone driving by. It's worth the stop! Even at 3pm it was just busy enough! Way to keep a local biz open! Definitely drop in if you are in the area! They have a great selection of sandwiches, soup, and salads too. read more

A staple in the area. I went back to Stewie's after 15 years and it was even better than I remember. Great lunch spot with amazing hot and cold sandwiches. The service is spectacular and the photos on the wall are storytelling. read more

This is the best sandwich shop on the planet and I will fight you about it. The Italian mayo on their sandwiches is something about which epic poems will someday be written. It's a small family place and it's always busy. The same people have worked here for years and the lines are always long for a good reason. They'll get you a hot, delicious, hand made sandwich in a matter of minutes no matter how busy they are. They're only open Weds-Sat so plan accordingly. read more

Fantastic tuna melt and great service ! Ladies behind the counter were fast and responsive and pleasant read more

This was my first time at Stewie's and it was amazing! Great customer service and incredible subs! I got the El Diablo and ooooohhh it was fire !! Definitely going back to support this great small business. read more

The service was outstanding! These ladies made you feel at home and were so helpful and friendly! A group of us went and we all really liked our sandwiches. 3 of us had the Turkey bacon and with the recommendation of adding Italian mayo. Super tasty sandwich. Very filling and fresh. Another had the Italian sub and I believe added olive mayo? I noticed the lady's being extra helpful to all patrons, great atmosphere! I'd go back if I was ever visiting this area again. read more

The BEST sandwich spot in Forest Lake, we are so lucky to have this high quality shop in town! From the fresh deli meat to vegetables so delicious toasted bread. I've been consistently ordering their Becky's with turkey, ham, pepperoni, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, Italian mayo and add oil and vinegar with jalapeños! Awesome flavor combo with great kick. Works well with your favorite side of chips and a drink! read more

Tiny shop but big flavors! This place doesnt look like much but the sandwiches they whip together is unlike anything I've ever tasted! Even their soup is better than any kind I've had store bought or from restaurants. I recommend popping in and trying out these gems! read more

I always get the meatball sub with no onions or peppers and a side of Italian mayo! So yummy! Highly recommend!!!

Best hot Subs around!!! If you haven't been here definitely give it a try! I prefer the hot subs over the cold subs however both are great!

I saw a review of this Sub place on my neighborhood site and I was in Forest Lake for another event and decided to give it a try. The sandwiches were made fresh to order. All four sandwiches were delicious. I will definitely make it a point to return! read more

You have to try it. Best sandwiches around, and everyone I have brought there loves it too. Perfect local atmosphere, amazing food, and phenomenal service every time. Keep up the great work! read more

Found this place here on Yelp and sure glad we did! It's situated in the corner of a fairly dated shopping center right on the main drag in Forest Lake. Total hole in the wall dive but the food was outstanding. Bread was perfectly toasted, just the right amount of condiments meat and cheese and seems like a very fair deal in terms of what you get vs. what you pay. I also had a cup of broccoli cheese soup which was nothing to write home about but still very good and I would order again. I hope to find myself hungry again someday in Forest Lake, if so, Stewie's is where I'm headed. My 12-year old son loved it too and has asked a few times in the last week when we could go back... read more

We stopped here for lunch on the way to go hiking after seeing all of the good reviews. I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich. The woman taking orders was probably one of the nicest people I've interacted with. It was a busy day and took over 15 minutes to get our food, which is worth it if the food is good. Unfortunately my sandwich was drenched in a mayo-like very watery sauce, which was not listed on the description. It was so hard to eat because of that and difficult to taste anything other than that. I do appreciate the perfectly toasted bread, but it was hard to enjoy completely because of that sauce. I'd definitely go back and just ask for no sauce. read more

I love their meatball sandwich and there Philly I highly recommend Stewie sandwich It's a great place to take friends and family They will be impressed the tasty and filling sandwiches read more

Can't get away from the Italian . I get it every . Single. Time! Wish I lived closer .

Love Stewies. Have been going there for years. Suggest you order ahead during the busy lunch hour.

Pasting through on our way to Canada. Our regular stop "Roosters" was closed. Found Stewie's on Yelp. 5 mins off 35. Don't go to the highway chains. NOTE the address listed is wrong it's on SOUTH lakeshore not north. Get lost(like we did) just give them a call. read more

Love this place! Great people and great food! Subs are toasted warm! Don't forget the olive mayo

This place is amazing!! The hot Italian is to die for, I always add the olive mix to it!

Wow! Great hot deli sandwiches! My daughter and her hubby liked this place so much they couldn't help sharing how good the sandwiches were. Many sandwiches etc. to choose from. Actually I've had there hot turkey and Swiss a few times. It comes cut in half and it's about twice the size bun that subway comes on. It's really two meals in one for the ladies! Guys this will fit the bill for you too. Easy to find the shop. Right off of hwy 61 Enjoy! read more

This place is amazing!! It can be pretty busy at times but the quality is definitely worth the wait. The portions are very generous and the staff is always really friendly.
