Jessica S.

Always makes the sandwiches fast and always has fresh ingredients. One thing I have to say that made me sick was when this location was remodeling, they stayed open and the restaurant smelled awful, so I literally had to walk out because who wants their food tasting like that? This location has been clean every time I have come here, but I do not come often, so I am not sure if that's how it always is or not. I always get the Italian sub with extra cheese, but I really feel like there is not much to any of the sandwiches. They aren't ever filled and I never am full after I eat them unless I get the $12 16'' which is crazy in price and not worth the calories. I love the taste of Jimmy John's and I definitely have days I really crave their food, but I am not a fan of the small sandwiches with barely anything inside of them. This goes for the whole company, not just this location.

Vito unwich
Christine S.

I last visited this place June 3rd and I completely forgot to write a review. I had the best experience Ive had with online ordering. The app is super easy to use and sure enough when you're notified it was sitting there waiting for me. I usually get a unwich and customize it to my liking and needs. The gentleman even confirmed my order when I arrived (which seems simple enough but I appreciated it). Their unwich is always tightly wrapped and I can truly enjoy it like a sandwich and not a salad. My boyfriend has since been to this location and he also has had the same type of positive interactions.

Slim3
Al R.

Not sure if this is the portion management tells its employees to use or if the employee saw this to be fit. All can say is that this is a ridiculously small amount of tuna salad for the price. Even if it is the slim 3, which I have ordered many times before at other locations and never received this. JJ would be disappointed!

Turkey bacon club.  Not too bad
Phil S.

Maybe this is why I never ate here $17 bucks for 2 sandwiches. They are decent sandwiches, but nothing remarkable. We could of eaten Mediterranean food for almost the same price and had a better meal. I got the turkey club with bacon. Lots of fresh ingredients. My wife got the tuna. Once again lots of fresh ingredients, but nothing remarkable. They also have a limited number of toppings. Simple, clean

a bag of chips and a bag of candy

Great group of employees. Fresh ingredients. Unsure where the negative reviews came from.. perhaps people with personal problems? Anyway, this JJ is top tier. Quick bite great customer service. Don't listen to the negative. Be positive!!! Thank you JJ Touhy!!!

Flavors were on point, especially paired with the red and green salsas included. I split the carne asada fries as an appetizer. The portion was gigantic and definitely needs to be split with a friend! The horchata was delicious though quite sweet for me. My theory was that they hoped the ample ice would eventually dilute the drink down for takeaway. In terms of picking up food, the restaurant parking lot was a little difficult to get into at the time given a carwash nearby. However, the food was definitely worth the slight parking woes.

The dining area is full of bright, vibrant colors with a decent outside eating area. The hostess came over and gave me chips and salsa to munch on. The chips were warm and crunchy. The red salsa was my favorite. It was smoky and hot without blowing your head off. The green salsa was mild with a little lime flavor in the background. My Carne Asada burrito dinner came out quickly. The burrito comes with beans, lettuce, tomato cheese, and sour cream. My favorite thing about the burrito was the protein, good flavor, and I love the little charred bits. The burrito is a nice size. The rice was good and so was the beans. I doused my food in that red salsa. It was just that good. I would definitely go back to try one of their lunch specials.

I am satisfied with their response and improve my rating from 1 to 4 stars This isn't a negative review of the food which was the standard chain quality (good but don't splurge on it much for health reasons). I was in the area for a play and picked up a local friend. I went here because an acquaintance (who since died) gave me multiple gift cards to Portillos which I needed to use. I had 4 cards, not sure how much was left on them. We got $27 worth of food and I started handing the cashier the cards. She told me to scan them on the read light reader. Only one had a scannable bar code. She was not sure how to read the others. My friend suggested she swipe it on keyboard, she didn't seem to know this already. Card 1 red light scanned ok. Card 2 swiped ok. Card 3 she swiped and it didn't register, unclear if it worked. Card 4 brought the total to 0$. She wasn't going to give the last 2 cards back and asked for the other two. My tried to clarify that card 4 might have value left, she confidently said no. I was suspicious since the total couldn't have exactly matched my bill. The next day I looked at the receipt and it clearly said there was money left on the card, over 8$. It's unclear whether card 3 had money or she just didn't scan it. I'm presuming this was poor training but it has an element of malicious intent since she was so confident I had nothing left on the card and requested keeping all the cards. If you have gift cards beware going here unless staff are trained. Receipt attached for proof. If the business is reading this, can I cat my money back? Card 3 was for $10 value but not clear if it was touched or not.

I am no stranger to Dear Franks of Niles; I visited it several years ago for lunch during one of my…read moresummer jobs in-between college semesters. Since then, I have off-and-on ordered from nearby restaurants yet with an interest in revisiting Dear Franks at some point. It was not until I recently discovered its veggie and plant-based items on the menu when I made it a high priority to visit, being that I am now a vegetarian. After attending training at my job which sits no more than a mile from Dear Franks, I made my visit. Its location sits along W Touhy Ave amongst a mixture of restaurants and shopping stores that are relevant to the community of Niles. I was acknowledged shortly after I walked in and up to the counter to look at the menu which was plastered above the counter. It took me some time to look at the menu because the menu online differed from the menu onsite above the counter. I had a taste for a veggie hot dog, but I did not see it featured on the menu above the counter, figuring that it was no longer an option at the time. So, I ended up ordering their veggie burger, fries, and a drink which was completed within several minutes. While paying, I could not help but notice Turano products near the register. Turano baking company, a family-owned bakery that produces authentic and delicious breads. I drive by Turano's daily enroute to my primary job and it is hard not to notice its building exterior, which has a commanding presence. Being that I have had the interest in visiting Turano's for some time now, I ended up purchasing a Turano - chocolate chunk cookie to go along with my veggie burger, fries, and drink. Maybe now after purchasing the chocolate chunk cookie, it will urge me to visit its location in Berwyn. I chose to dine-in at Dear Franks since I had plenty of time in my day, plus I figured that I still had time to beat the traffic on Edens Expressway enroute back to Chicago. The inside of Dear Franks appeared clean, and the atmosphere gave off a sporty vibe with pictures of Chicago sports teams, and iconic sporting moments in history of those teams featured. And there are a number of tables with seats available inside of the dining area, plus a television plastered on the wall near the entrance for viewing pleasure as you eat. The crinkle-cut fries were the first item I started off with eating. Though not as good as Portillo's crinkle-cut fries, ketchup certainly complimented them well. From that point on, I could not resist eating them all after the addition of ketchup. I moaned in enjoyment after my first bite of the veggie burger; it was garnished with everything I requested such as ketchup, mustard, lettuce, and tomatoes! It was very satisfying indeed. Taking note of everything I experienced: service, ambiance, and food, I have to say that it was a good experience. And with that I would gladly re-visit Dear Franks of Niles again whenever in the Niles area. Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Food: 5 ~Nourish your soul. ~ Thomas G

Some standouts for me were the steak jibarito, the Philly cheesesteak, and the shawarma bowl. The staff also gave us a freebie which was so thoughtful of them!

Some leeway is required. Damn Google search. I asked for submarine sandwiches suggestions on my homeward travel and this popped. Ordered their namesake Cultura sub, a chicken shawarma and they also offer a Persian menu, so lamb stew. $12.95 sounded too interesting but I didn't notice you must also buy rice separately ('because how can you eat stew without rice! She said' ) additional $5.95 for dill. Honestly, $17.95, yes, this sounds more like the correct price point for a small lamb leg. The dill rice was real. The lamb leg comes in a tomato based stew with beans. I wasn't impressed with the leg, quite bland but the rice could have acted as a carrier for any other stew side or with a topping of shawarma, just as nice. The sandwich was mid. Bread dense. I might be missing something. I wonder now whether the breads are also Persian. Perhaps barbari or a thicker taftoon. If you enjoy Persian it could slap? Personally not impressed especially given the out of pocket around $50. Lack of details on menu items with additional pricing is somewhat aggravating. One and done. At the time of order, a young woman was having tea service. I am not sure whether that is offered to everyone or a specialty enjoyed by the owner with their staff & friends.
