    a fast food restaurant at night
    Ava W.

    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.

    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 The inside is really tiny and looked really outdated.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!

    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

    Open really late although during week dining room does shut down early. Neighborhood changes through the years employee safety 09/22/23

    #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.

    How is this a gyro? Just take it off the menu ‍

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

    Exterior. The birds on the sign are presumably talking about how great Mr. Sub is.

    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!

I buy multiple plates of it and freeze it in case I'm having a bad day or there's a freak snow storm in May. I'm not sure if the man who makes the gumbo is also the owner, but he needs a raise. It comes with cornbread. The most delicious also, and not a sliver; they give you a brick of cornbread. Such a friendly place, and actually this time while I was enjoying the quirky signs around the bar, I did take a peek at the rest of the menu. It looks like everything they have is equally worth eating. I tell you what, my soul was pretty happy walking out of there.

This place is directly across the street from the theater, so the convenience cannot be beat. It is a comfortable place with a decent bar and excellent bartender. The customer service could not be beat. The owner was on hand, making sure everything went well through the rush prior to the show across the street. waitresses and food runners were busy, thorough and efficient. The sandwiches we got were fine, but the fries were excellent! Seasoned perfectly and had a great crunch to them. The appetizers were a basic fare. Nothing to write home about, but they hit the spot.
