I went on Wednesday around 12pm for the first time. My coworkers recommended it. When I walked in,…read moreI was greeted and my coworker went to pick up her order and another coworkers order. I placed an order with the cashier and he was a really nice young man. I asked if he knew what was in the salmon bowl and I pointed to a picture on the wall. He told me everything in the bowl without missing a beat. my coworker said "wow you really know your stuff, that's so awesome" and he just shrugged and smiled. There are cookies on this heated surface by the cash register and oh man they looked so good. My food was prepared really fast. I don't even like sweet potatoes and planned to give them to my coworker but they were so good. I ate my entire bowl and saved the cookie for later. Both were so tasty. Next time, I'm going to get the chocolate cookie and probably the same bowl. I loved it here.

I met a friend here for lunch who told me this is her favorite place to get a sandwich. I agree -…read morethis is one of the best sandwich shops I've been to. The interior decor can be described in one word: Dude! There are a handful of tables inside and a bar where beer on tap is served. As a first-timer, the young woman at the register was friendly and helpful in helping me make decisions after being overwhelmed by their large menu. So many choices! I decided on the Acapulco Gold: BBQ chicken breast pieces, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and dressing. It usually comes with onions too, but I asked that ingredient be left out. She guided me to try it on garlic bread, which was a wise choice (thank you), and her finger measurements helped me decide on how big a sandwich I should get. I made it a combo, which came with a bag of chips and a fountain drink. The sandwich was messy but, as is often the case with messy food, it was incredibly delicious! All the flavors melded well together. Every ingredient tasted so fresh, especially the bread. This is THE place to come if you are craving a sandwich! Note: street parking or pay in a nearby lot

The sandwiches are pretty good. The flavors are pretty classic so you really can't go wrong…read more Are they amazing? I have no idea... I was charmed by their stoner themed names and sizes. But what really made me fall in love with this place are the drinks. In true stoner fashion, there are excellent drink options. Kool aids, sodas, and lots and lots of iced tea options that are all just begging to be mixed together to make the perfect beverage fit your vibe at that moment. Personally, I chose the Strawberry Dragonfruit tea which was very lightly sweetened, a splash of black tea. I could have been more adventurous and added some sprite or whatever the lemon lime stuff is for the bubbles... but another day.

On June 20th, 2026, Substation has closed its doors after a fantastic run! Service- owner was always so personable and remembered a face! The staff was united because he build a community and special outings for employees. The memories were always posted on the wall. Ambiance- the owner and family made the seating and tables I recall. Very simple with patio seating available. Amazing job! You will be sorely missed.

There's the main restaurant area but they also have a sun room off to the side where I like to sit. Don't worry the ac is always cranked up so it's very comfortable. You can order either at the counter or a kiosk and they have a rewards program as well. It's usually some kind of free French fries but I've also gotten a free slice of cake before. We're coming in anyway, why not sign up? Typically we both love the grilled chicken sandwich but this trip I opted for a chili cheese dog. The chili was really good and it had lots of onions too. Yum! I also love the style of their crinkle cut fries. When I do order the chicken sandwich the chicken is always juicy and flavorful. Sometimes they get a little crazy with the mayo though. No biggie. I still love this spot and of course we'll be back!

This is yet another place I'm surprised I've never written a review on. I've been going to this…read moreplace for a minimum of 10 years. I'm pretty sure I've had just about everything on their menu from the hot dogs to the burgers to their sandwiches and salads. I have to say they're chili cheese. Fries are probably my favorite from any restaurant. I think it's something about the nacho cheese that they use, which doesn't say much, but they are incredible. The service is always pretty quick here, even when I ask for my dogs to be well done. I love the decor inside of this place, because it's a throwback to an old time. Chicago era. The only thing I wish they do is get rid of their kiosks to order because I don't like when businesses replace employees with computers. That's my only gripe. So, stop in and enjoy a dog but make sure a person takes your order, not the funky kiosk.

The next time I came in but I never returned today I was craving a delias grinder ....when I called in the phone service was old school professional, not what I'm used to anymore. And when I got to the restaurant, the woman that it helped me. And cashed me out was extremely hospitable, respectful and treated me like a freaking customer. Not like I was bothering her like these people make you feel nowadays and that was refreshing Her name was cassidy . And because of her class, I will continue to return to Delias grinders University as much as I can. Thank you.

We could've went to a good full service sit down restaurant for much less (tip included). Will we be back? I'd like to say yes but not at these prices. Also the 40 min drive makes it not worth it.

Right when we walked in the door, we were hit with the smell of freshly baking bread. We ordered a variety of items from a chicken salad salad, a tuna salad salad, a tuna salad wrap with avocado, a toasted grilled cheese and a turkey avocado sandwich on a croissant. The stars of the show may have been the potato salad and the pasta salad. All and all everything tasted fresh and delicious. My 4-year-old picky eater requested we go back the next day and that's how I knew it was top notch.

Honestly, if I had this somewhere deep in a Mexico all inclusive resort trying to emulate a banh mi - it would be acceptable. But to receive this from another Vietnamese lady is so disappointing.

First walking in it felt homey and not so in your face. The owner took my order, and he was very genuine and nice. Now to the food. We ordered the Philly, and the bbq ribeye sandwiches, French fries, cheese pizza, and a large potato salad. When I got home with the food we noticed the potato salad was missing(this doesn't take any stars away) and I thought to myself well I did talk with the owner and distract him. Me and my split our sandwiches and the Philly is hands down one of the best Phillys I've ever had and my wife loved it. The bbq ribeye was almost as good but me and my wife agreed as cheese lovers that it would be even better with more cheese. The fries give you that comfy deli vibe of fries they were very crispy yet still soft inside. The pizza had an amazing undercarriage, the amount of cheese was perfect and the sauce was amazing, the crust was still crispy as well and made it that much better.

Our server, Savannah, was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. She answered all of our questions, offered excellent recommendations, and guided us through the menu as we ordered. Outstanding customer service from start to finish. 2. Menu - A The menu was easy to read and well organized. At first, the sandwich prices seemed a little high, but once we saw the size of the sandwiches, it was clear they were a great value. You definitely get your money's worth. 3. Italian Market - A While waiting for our food, we looked around the store and were impressed by the large selection of authentic Italian products. From canned tomatoes to a wide variety of imported pastas and other Italian specialties, there were plenty of quality items available at reasonable prices. If you enjoy cooking Italian food at home, this is a great place to shop. 4. Food - A+ We ordered the Italian Beef Sandwich with both hot and sweet peppers. The sandwich was outstanding, loaded with flavorful Italian beef, and the peppers were delicious. One warning--the hot peppers are very hot! Next time, we'll probably order it with all sweet peppers. We also ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich on focaccia bread, and it was amazing. The chicken was tender, the sauce had excellent flavor, and the focaccia was fresh and complemented the sandwich perfectly. Both sandwiches were generous in size and packed with flavor. Overall First Impression Tommy Salami's exceeded our expectations. Between the exceptional customer service, easy-to-read menu, authentic Italian market, and delicious food, it was an outstanding first experience. We'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Overall Grade: A+ Food for Thought: If you've never tried a cannoli, this is the place to do it.
