Great food at good prices, they are always on point. One of the only mr sub locations to serve Italian beef sandwiches.

I've had a long-term love affair with Mr. Submarine -- and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Out of all the locations, the Joliet one has my heart (and probably most of my paycheck). First off, I'm what you'd call a soup granny -- I live for a good cup of soup -- and this Mr. Sub always understands the assignment. While other locations might toss out one lonely option, Joliet's got multiple soups every day like it's their full-time job. Chicken noodle? Chicken gumbo? Cream of chicken and rice? Yes, please. I'm basically one punch card away from moving in. The chicken breast salad? Fresh, crisp, and makes me feel like I'm making good life choices (even if I follow it up with fries). But the Gyro King Sub... oh my. That thing is what dreams -- and possibly Greek love songs -- are made of. It's full of meat, drenched in sauce, and served piping hot. Honestly, I'd write poetry about it if I could stop eating long enough to grab a pen. Joliet Mr. Submarine, you're the one. Never change. read more

Not all Mr. Sub's are created equal! This is the BEST location around. Any item with their chicken breast as the star does not disappoint! It's perfectly seasoned and always juicy. I eat here weekly and rotate the chicken sub, chicken Philly (fries included with this option) and chicken salad for a quick, delicious, easy on budget lunch! Don't be discouraged by the hectic parking lot, they run this place like a well-oiled machine - whether you go inside or the drive- thru, they are friendly and efficient and get your order right. If you do drive thru: You might have to pull into a waiting area for a minute or two to keep the line moving and the staff will literally RUN your hot and delicious food to you hot and steamy in a couple minutes as you become a part of the lore of Mr Sub! Pro tip: The gumbo is delicious! And try your chicken Philly on garlic bread: chef's kiss! read more

I normally give 4 or 5 stars but today they let me down for the second time in a row. I order the Italian beef and always ask for it to be dipped. The wetter the better but the last two times it has been dry as the dessert and disappointing. I don't know what I need to do. I don't like opening my food right away so that it stays warm. But when I get home and it's dry, I eat it cause I am hungry but disappointed. I would come back again but now it might be a while and I stop telling people about how good they are. read more

The is something nostalgic about a Mr. submarine sandwich. It is always special when you bring together some of the most loved foods by uniting bread, cheese, meats, veggies and condiments. Mr. Submarine makes it easy to customize to suit your taste which means you can build-your-own options. The bread is always fresh and it elevates the sandwich to new heights. A delicious bite each and every time. read more

Awesome sub, served through the Drive thru really quickly. Lots of meat, very fresh bread and a good size for the money.

Good food cooked to order. The garlic fries are so good. The subs are fresh and the staff is nice.

Best place to get subs and food. Subs are huge the service is good. And prices are good

This is located in the Joliet, my boyfriend took me here because he used to come here all the time growing up and he told me their Italian beef sandwiches were bomb. I'm glad to say it's the best Italian beef sandwich I had while I was in Illinois! (Better than Portillo's). The inside is really tiny and looked really outdated. Very quick service though and seems like they had a drive thru. The sandwich itself was juicy. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely try it again! read more

The only reason to give this place 5 stars is for their ability to consistently get orders wrong. I decided to give them one more try, thinking if I went earlier, they'd get it right. I was wrong. I ordered a HOT pastrami with cheese, onion and sauce. I ended up with an ice cold, dry sandwich with a sliver of cheese on one end of the sandwich. Three strikes and they're out. Will never come here again. read more

#70/2023 Ah yes good old Mr submarine. Founded in 1975 Chicago Classic sandwich shop. Only in the Chicago metropolitan area. One time they were everywhere around Chicago with loads of locations now they're kind of isolated but they're still around when you look for them. The only one that wasn't very good was the one located in bridgeview and the reviews reflected unfortunately. Here I told Jefferson Street and Joliet Illinois this one's been here for years I'd say probably since the late '80s early 90s when they put this one up. It's still a top notch one as far as keeping up to the old Mr submarine standards Have changed a little bit with the times and through covid and they have a fryer so they offer more stuff like french fries I do say they're garlic fries are fantastic I didn't have them this time but I've had them before. One of the things that still sets off this subchain to me is the fact that they still use the Toronto baking company local Chicago company with the real soft bread. I've been coming to Mr Submarine since the early 80s when I first discovered them as a preteen. Although most of the old haunt locations where I used to go they're no longer there. But I pulled into here after having to go do some stuff around the Joliet area and I ordered up one of my all-time favorites a simple sandwich beyond basic a king combo. For me it's perfect all it is is just roast beef corned beef and cheese heated up nice with a little bit of sauce on it no vegetables no nothing it's the way Kevin likes it he's liked it for close to 40 years lol. Sometimes it just hits the spot I got a bag of chips and I'm not a fan of diet RC they do have RC products here so I got a can of seven up zero sugar. Sandwich is fantastic no complaints at all their prices are pretty competitive still with everybody else around they do a hell of a business always jam-packed from open the close even the drive-thru. The employees are real friendly and outgoing very courteous. If I'm down by Joliet I will definitely stop and hear again because this one is still really good in fact I'll be back here hopefully in about a month when I pick up my new TWIC card. So I may come in and smash another sandwich again. read more

Very humble appearance from the outside but there is a reason this restaurant has been a mainstay in Joliet. The counter service is fast but that would be useless if the food is bad. Not so, we had the Chicken Philly special which came with fries for only $6.99. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and you get a choice of regular or garlic bread for the loaf. I chose garlic which was tasty. There was also a decent amount of meat. Lastly the crinkle fries which were also a generous amount, were fried just right. They are good with or without ketchup Next time I'll have to try their gyros which I have heard are also good. BTW, they also have a drive-thru read more

Drove up, ordered, and my food was dropped to me in a matter of a minute or two - Excellent service. They're also open until 2am at their Joliet location. I ordered the philly cheesesteak and garlic cheese fries. Both were excellent and taste exactly like what you'd expect from both offerings. 10/10 would go back again if I was ever in town. read more

We loved their special big boy Mr. Sub! Impressively tasty and meaty! We are definitely coming back just for that one! The staff was very friendly and seamed to be happy on their work environment, if you are in Joliet you have to try that sandwich read more

I drove 25 minutes across town for Mr Sub! It was a Friday night so they were fairly busy, but the service was still quick. I got multiple orders of their chicken and rice soup which always hits the spot! I got their grilled chicken sandwich and it was better than I remember. My girlfriend got the corn dog kids meal and said it was delicious. Also their pricing is extremely fair. A very affordable place for the entire family. read more

This place is amazing! Delicious food, great prices, great portions not skimping out and friendly staff! Highly recommended!

Low grade food and low grade service. Used to love this place a long time ago. Just going down hill. That's why it's always empty

This looks like tree bark on bread lol Just remove gyros from your menu or call it Gyro sub read more

Mr Submarine - How is this a gyro? Just take it off the menu ‍ - Sandwiches Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

They did us OK. Not great, but good. I'd go back if REALLY hungry. Prices are right.

Mr. Sub is a Joliet classic. One does not simply drive down Jefferson and not stop here. It's cheap and it's good, what more could you want? They're open until the wee hours into the night and the menu is huge--there's something for everyone. I'm never disappointed with their soups. They rotate them out, so be sure to ask which ones are available! That said, I'm never disappointed with anything I get here! read more

Mr Submarine - Exterior. The birds on the sign are presumably talking about how great Mr. Sub is. - Sandwiches Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

Mr Submarine - Cajun chicken salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

Mr. Sub is THE sub place. We can all agree on that. But this location.....bruh. You gotta give your order slow and double check before you leave cuz somehow the simplest order is difficult. For example "King size Mr. Sub, everything on it, extra cheese" apparently sounds like "king size Mr sub, NOTHING ON IT, REGULAR CHEESE, EASY MEAT " cuz that's what I got...light meat and regular amount of cheese on dry bread with no lettuce and no onion...no anything....i just don't understand how it's complicated. And yes I could put my own lettuce, onion, and sub sauce on it but it's not the same and not the point. The principle of the matter is I would like what I'm paying for. Everyone feels that way. We all know how it feels when your mouth is set and then your order is wrong. And it happens all the time. The "staff" needs to learn how to give a damn.... read more

Been a long time customer and absolutely love the food never had a bad experience... certain employees know my face and I feel like I'm talking to an old friend...try the Mister Sub King size it's more bang for your buck... read more

Always the best beefs and gyros Thanks Always quick and delicious Been going there for decades read more

Mr sub is great if you want a relatively low calorie lunch/dinner or a drunken snack!

Quick service. They are always busy due to their fabulous food and prices. I always get their salads. Which are large and loaded. Wish they had a larger parking lot and the drive thru was larger. But it works for them. read more

Best sub sandwiches period!! Quick and efficient service, big sandwiches with fresh ingredients!! Why would you go anywhere else?!?

Sandwich trays were great. We ordered 4 trays, only had 3. They said one trey was vegetarian. They made the 4 tray with no issues.... Got home and all the trays were with meat. Sandwiches are good soft bread. read more

For the first time ever, I am truly disappointed here. I had a coupon. Buy three king subs ,get one free. I've done this before. Never had a problem until today. They all had an attitude and I look and they're all a different crew. I usually come here every couple of months,and for years it's been the same people over and over, giving the same great service. Today, I look and don't recognize a single person in that crew at all, including the one lady that appeared to be the manager. I show up with a coupon ,and they have a problem with it ,and then they tell me the manager says he will allow at this time , but going forward , you have to print out the coupon. I'm thinking where the hell do I have access to a printer? There's a reason why the website sent me a coupon to show them on my phone. So I could spend enough for three subs king size mind, you, and get one free. That is basically to reward me for my continued business , now they turn their nose up at it and seem to have a problem , and act like I'm gonna copy the thing , and come with it over and over and use the same one. I offered to delete it right there in front of the employee. They were like no you don't have to do that , so I am really starting to question if I wanna continue going there fortunately, the subs were still good , so not sure if it's the same owner ,or if it's a new owner ,different crew, but the service is still good, and the quality is good, but I've downgraded them for now to three stars for calling me out on something silly. If you're gonna play that game ,state on your email, the coupon must be printed out. Once upon a time, coupons used to state that. read more

They don't even deserve 1 star. I arrive home with our order to find sparse scraps of corned beef on one sandwich, the gyro sandwich smelled like fish (clearly cross contamination going on) and was incredibly dry and the fries with the Philly Steak were as cold as they could possibly be, like they were sitting for quite a while. My wife called and the girl (manager) argued with my wife that the other manager made the corned beef sandwich, so it was made right and they don't prepare the gyro sandwich where they prepare the fish sandwich, so it shouldn't taste like fish, but we can bring the food back for a refund. So, I bring the food back and she refuses to give a refund, because the food was partially eaten (the corned beef sandwich and my steak sandwich). What they don't understand is an unhappy customer will share their story with over 90% more people than a happy one. Their poor attitude (argumentative female manager), lies (that the sandwich didn't smell like a tuna boat and they would refund the purchase amount), and failure to take any responsibility for bombing the order have guaranteed that we'll share our negative experience and never patronize them again. read more

I just want to say that I really miss you Mr Sub :,) 2 years out from living in Joliet my whole life and I would say this has to be the #1 food place I miss. It's true the grass isn't always greener & the fried foods in IL don't compare to other places lol fried mushrooms were there for me after my first breakup late at night when I needed them. Everything closes at 7pm here. The soup was always sooo good. Also the chicken strips with cheese omg. Will be going back asap for sure! read more

everything was delicious! i came with my boyfriend and when we got there it seemed like it was super busy, the drive thru had a very long line, but for the amount of people that were there we only waited around 5 minutes. everyone was very kind and patient as well, i consider myself a picky eater so i sometimes have issues with trying new places but the person that took my order didn't make me feel rushed for needing a minute. i definitely plan on coming back and trying a few new things :) read more

Short wait time for food, albeit they only do drive thru. As a pregnant woman you have to go here for their fried mushrooms. Lol

Italian beef was good, the lines were really long but they cranked through things quickly. I'll probably go back when I'm in town

BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH IN JOLIET. drive thru is fast even when it's packed. Can't speak for the ambience inside I never eat there but it look acceptable. read more

Don't let the line fool you - the service is fast. The prices are cheap and the portions are large. I picked up a gyros sandwich and a gyros plate with fries all for $12. The outside of the store is in poor condition and the menu board is in desperate need of replacing. I assumed there would be issues with the speaker, but nope - placing an order in the drive thru was easy, the speaker was loud and clear, the cashier was pleasant and she took my order correctly. My food came out hot, fast and nicely wrapped. The meat was sliced thick and the fries were a thin crispy crinkle cut. However, I was rather disappointed in the lack of Greek flavor here. The sauce was nothing special and tasted like plain yogurt. If, I'm in the area again I might return, but I won't go out of my way to visit. read more

Delicious recommended staff is courtesy and kind good atmosphere chill Italian Beef Sandwich

Typical Mr Sub, super fast service and Fire subs. Garlic fries are incredible too. 10/10 would recommend.

I will always come back for the garlic fries. French fries are french fries on the menu. But when the order comes, they're not french fries anymore...they're my fries. Other highlights include: Gyro pita Mr. Sub Sammich All around a great fast food joint. This is not Michelin restaurant, so please don't expect amazing service, get your food and head on out. Just a heads up for the business on the drive thru service, I recommend you guys give drivers a paper with their ticket number (just use a marker) they can tape on their windshields so the poor servers aren't trying to figure out where the orders go. Y'all come back now! read more
