I've been going to Break Bread since they were on Rt. 14th. They are a very good alternative to…read morethe franchise fast food options around town. So I really enjoy eating here. They have good options to choose from when it comes to sandwiches and burgers. For this day I went with the Cuban sandwich, shoe string fries, sweet potatoes fries, and chicken strips. I place the order online and it says 25 - 30 mins ready for pick up. Sweet no problem as I had a grocery pick up order at Jewels. So about 25 mins passes and I arrive with my 2 year old daughter ready to pick up my food. The restaurant is inside the train station and it's a pretty cool setup. My daughter absolutely loved running around the place. I walk up to the cashier and tell them I'm here to pick up my order and the gentlemen tells me he hasn't even started my order yet and there was some issues going on in the kitchen. He said it's going to be another 10 mins before the food can be ready. Uh oh... I'm going to have to ding 1 star because this should have been updated that it's going to take a lot longer than expected. I wait the 10 mins and the food gets done and then I head home. Overall the food was good and as you can see from my pictures it's a not a traditional cuban sandwich but it was good, and I'd get it again. Fries were hot and crispy and my daughter enjoyed her chicken strips. Breaking Bread has always been a good alternative for grabbing lunch in Crystal Lake.

I wish i could give this place 6 stars because 5 isn't enough…read more Food came out fast, and hot! I ordered a caesar wrap with a side of onion rings. To start the wrap to filling ratio was perfection, not too much wrap to where it felt like i wasn't getting what i paid for and not an imbalance of a single filling inside, every bite tasted great and had every ingredient- LOVED IT! Onion rings were fried beautifully and battered perfectly- buttery and savory and just so so good each bite and fantastic portion, ate every one! My girlfriend ordered the Turkey Club and side of string fries. We ate off each others plates after discovering how each of our own food was literally the greatest thing we've had in a while lol. Turkey club had a refreshing taste and was so good especially loved the 3 pieces of deli bread! Shoe string fires were fried perfectly, not excess oil or salt and were hot and fresh, personally loved all the different lengths! Lastly and best of all, the hospitality!!! From start to finish of this meal the atmosphere was perfect, music not too loud ( awesome music taste btw ) air conditioning was nice, we came in and we were the only ones eating but still very nice. The older gentleman who took our order was funny, sweet, and attentive!!! really liked him and the other younger person with the green mohawk was also attentive and nice!! Side note that i liked, after ordering up at the front , i wasn't pressured to give a tip- i would have done it anyways but the added touch he just skipped over that for some reason stuck with me in a good way! Total was $35 ish with two drinks. All to say, COME EAT HERE AND SUPPORT A LOCAL BUSINESS!!!

I liked the choices and the portions but my one complaint is the very thick sub roll. There is certainly way more bread than needed as it took over the flavor of the wonderful meats, cheeses and toppings. I ended up taking the top half of bread off and ate the rest. It improved the sub flavor tremendously. It's a four star sub on a two star sub roll so three stars all day.

We probably order sandwiches once a week. They are a football game day staple. We have been…read morewatching for a few weeks now, the shrinkage of the meat and cheese. Originally, the meat overlapped the bread, I could only eat half and save the other half for the next days lunch. Now, we are still hungry. I might as well just get a bag of rolls and eat 1. My husband commented on how Cindy it looked while being assembled and of course only got a mumbled reply. I don't know what your response could be. Just greed? Not making enough $ for a $9.00 dollar sandwich. That's pretty ridiculous to start with, merely a convenience. Should you rename them Trump Special #1, #2, #3 etc? Do you need to blame someone? May as well be the liar in chief. This is so annoying. From now on I will definitely be making my own sandwiches. I am sure this will have no impact on you, but I may not be the only one. I hope you feel the pinch that we are all feeling. And I am happy to help with that

Terribly inconsistent…read more We've been to many Firehouse Subs over the years and generally the experience has been good and customer service has been decent. The inconsistency has been the portion size and correctness of order and based on other reviews, this location has been experiencing this issue for years. We even ordered online to make clear our substitutions and additions and yet we received incorrect orders and sparse amounts of meat. It's frustrating to gamble on what we're going to get and it shouldn't be on us to check every single sandwich in our to-go order to make sure they got it right. We support the mission of Firehouse Subs and fire fighters everywhere but we're not coming back to this location, because it's too exhausting. See my sandwich photo below for what a bad sandwich and a good sandwich looks like. Keep in mind these were in the same order.

I placed online order (picture attached) and saw that they couldn't give me cranberries I requested because it's "an extra charge". Fine, not a problem... So I went to register and asked for a side of cranberries so I could pay for them. Well... That wasn't an option and the manager walked up and asked if there was an issue and the lady said "she has a PROBLEM with the cranberries" and i responded with I don't have a PROBLEM with the cranberries I just have no option to add it as an extra online which is why I put it in the notes. So I am here trying to pay for it. Manager said there no way for them to do that. So I asked how do I get cranberries? He said you'd have to do it when you order it... Which again, isn't an option online... I've NEVER had this issue at the Algonquin location and they have excellent customer service. They even acknowledge you as soon as you walk through the door. Everyone was busy chitchatting that I had to stand by yhe register and wait for the crabby employee to finally do something. I didn't get a name but she was an older woman maybe 60's with grey ponytail. Never coming here again...
