My wife and I have had the opportunity to try sandwiches all around the world, and I can confidently say The Submarine Port is TOP TIER! Seriously, what an incredible family-owned gem! We tried their turkey submarine, corned beef, and patty melt, and every single one was phenomenal. The turkey sub was absolutely loaded with fresh ingredients, and adding banana peppers took it to another level! The corned beef was incredibly flavorful, and knowing they slow cook it in-house for up to 10 hours makes you appreciate it even more. And that patty melt? Perfectly buttery rye bread, melted cheese, grilled onions, and a juicy burger. SO GOOD! You can tell this isn't just another sandwich shop. There's history, passion, and a commitment to quality that you can genuinely taste. We've eaten at some incredible sandwich shops across the globe, and The Submarine Port absolutely deserves to be in that conversation. Chicago is incredibly lucky to have places like this. If you appreciate a great old-school sandwich made the right way, do yourself a favor and check them out. We will absolutely be back! 5 STARS!

Stopped in town for a few hours on a quick business trip. We were looking some great local food and especially a good polish sausage. Well we found it! Ordered a polish sausage dog and a patty melt. The sausage was out of this world good. Then I tried the patty melt and it was possibly even better. They were cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly as well. The inside adds to the ambience here. Definitely feels like a Chicago sausage dog mom n pop restaurant. The service is great too! Great place to stop in for great food!

Great food and a good price. I liked how it was simple ingredients, and the flavors were delivering. Good spot!

I got the chance to check out this staple in Midlothian Illinois and I can definitely understand why it's been around 45+ years! From the immaculately clean dining area to the friendly customer service they make you feel at home and want to come back. They also have fresh bread that they bake daily that is warm light flaky and soft. Their Cream of Potato soup is simply delicious! Their corn beef and roast beef is slow cooked and piled on their fresh bread! The patty melt was legit one of the best I have ever had! The onion rings were perfectly coated and crispy and the hand spin milkshakes were smooth and refreshing. Highly highly recommend this spot!

Delicious!! I found out about Just Kabobs from an Instagram video. The commenter said the food was…read morefantastic, so I decided that I'd check it out. We visited on a bustling Saturday afternoon. There were several people already in line who were still looking at the menu, so they told us to cut the line. My sister and I both ordered the chicken kabob plate. Neither of us are big pita fans, so we didn't eat that, but everything else was delicious. The chicken was well cooked and succulent. The rice and potatoes were both seasoned to perfection, moist, and tasty. We were both pleasantly surprised by how good everything tasted. The salad was great too. It was fresh and offset the carbs perfectly. I had the Italian dressing which had a light and refreshing taste. We ordered takeout and ate the food a few hours later. It warmed up well at that time and the following day. The portion size is extremely generous, so there's enough food for a few meals if you tend to eat smaller meals. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service was fast and the gentleman that rang us out was very friendly. Both plates cost about twenty dollars, which is very reasonable for lunch. I'll definitely visit Just Kabob again!

It's been about a year since my last review, and I'm still loving these sandwiches. I now alternate…read morebetween a regular sized pastrami (no onions) and a king sized ham sandwich (no onion) extra cheese. Both are delicious. The pastrami's is just too filling to get as a kind. But the ham is perfect for one meal now, and one in a couple hours. The only negative thing I have to say is that they don't let you substitute a topping for another topping. I feel like I should be able to substitute sliced pickles on the sandwich for the onions I have them remove. In my mind, those are equivalent, but I understand that they need to make money where they can. So, if I'm picking up a sandwich on my way home, I just add the pickles at home. If I'm taking the sandwich to work or elsewhere, I have them add them...because I love pickles on a sandwich!
