Just don't. My sandwich was bad in so many ways. I just went in for the first time and got the Italian. Don't know how else to describe it but the meat was just funky tasting and too thick cut, the bread is like Jimmy John's but worse, and the Italian doesn't even come with giardiniera on it yet they sell entire jars of it separately?? Oh and once you find out it's cash only there's an ATM right behind you just waiting to screw you out of an extra $3.50. I don't remember the last time I ate when I was mad about it after I was done. Save yourself the trouble. read more

Ordered the muffuletta - nice sized portion for the money. The olive mix was incredibly salty and just too much of it, which made the bread soggy. The rest of it was very tasty with good meat/topping to bread ratio. I would try it again with the olive mix on the side. read more

Cool new addition to Logan Square's plethora of food options. Quick sandwiches, clean, and good service. There were a few veggie options which are nice. It's currently cash only and has no indoor seating options. They do have an atm on site. Will be an awesome spot for lunch and dinner over the spring and summer. read more

See all

A one and done for us unfortunately. The press has been raging over this place so I suggested a Postmates order in, try something different. So while delivery was lightning fast, the whole thing was a disappointment. His meatball sandwich he said was "fine," "just ok." He did eat it though for some reason he's standing in front of the fridge right now. Hm. My Italian beef, hm, not feelin' it. I'm not a huge eater but for $11, that was a shockingly small sandwich. Much too salty, the meat was mostly chopped fine so the whole thing was mushy, borderline mealy. And for $11, it had better have been the best but no, sadly it was not. The ($2.50!) bag of chips was "dealer's choice" and what we ended up with was an inedible pick. What a waste. Worst of all they forgot our desserts. That sucked. Instead of sending them, Postmates credited the missing items. Boo on Postmates' choice, man. In the end, yeah, nope. Waaay overpriced and not matching the hype. read more

What service! I breezed right past the sign on the door saying it was cash only, and didn't realize until it was too late. I didn't have a debit card, and they let me leave with my lunch under the honor system that i'd return to pay someday (which I did later that day). The employees were very proud to work there and raved about the food and the owner. To top it off, the sammy and soup were deelish. Can't beat service like this place. Excited to come back for the muffuletta! read more

Best meatball sub I've ever had. I give this one big "Mamma-Mia". Very messy but very delicious. The meatballs are juicy and worth it.

Cute little spot with great sandwiches. Love the muffaletta-- as good as we had in NOLA. Classic Italian is so good. Service is friendly!

The turkey and gravy is a go to year round. LOVE this place, everybody super nice and service is fast and accurate.

Honestly thought this was the place for sammys. Nope. Had it a few times from Grubhub but it was to busy so I went there instead. It's like the employee never worked there before. Asked for a ham and cheddar and got provolone EW! And while he's making my sandwiches he answered the phone and touched a bunch of stuff and never changed his gloves. Fucking nasty never again read more

My first visit to Rosie's a few weeks ago was amazing. The Italian sub was PERFECT, and the owner greeted me at the door and he even gave me some sample cannolis as a welcome gesture. I mentioned this place to a few of my coworkers on how amazing this place was and couldn't wait to try it again. I went back for my 2nd visit today and it was completely different than my first experience. The service was acceptable, not as friendly and welcoming as the first visit, but that's okay. What was not okay was the Italian sub I ordered, the bread wasn't fresh, it was kinda stale, and it was dry. No Mayo, no Italian dressing/seasoning, no nothing. They didn't have any chips to go with the sandwich because they ran out. So I felt a bit embarrassed that I recommend this place, because the sandwich was not good. I'm hoping they were just having an "off" day, because the Italian sandwich I had the first time was perfect. read more

Good sandwich, zero customer service skills. Too cool for school to be pleasant or welcoming.

This place is great. Good prices, really friendly service and a very satisfying sandwich. I had the vegetarian sandwich with roasted peppers and artichoke, pesto and provolone cheese. It was super flavorful, and juicy. They toasted the sandwich and then added lettuce and tomato so it was fresh and crisp, but the cheese was melty and delicious. The bread was also very tasty and just the right texture. I loved this sandwich. I only ordered veggie because I am pregnant and can't eat cold cuts, but I cannot wait to order a sandwich with meat and have a picnic on square in a few months! This is a super addition to the neighborhood. I wouldn't hate if they had a salad on the menu or if they would serve their sandwich toppings on a bed of lettuce. That would really round out the menu, and seems like it would be an easy add. Similar to how they have the meatball bowl. There is a real dearth of quick, casual, but solid lunch/dinner places in the area and this is definitely going to become a go to. (Especially if they add salads -- HINT HINT, Rosie!). read more

Standard sandwich place. Had the roast beef with turkey and cheese, and the meatball. The meatballs were small, and sauce wasn't to my liking. The roast beef and turkey is standard, which is good. Bread here was nothing to write home about. I continue to eat here due to proximity, but it's your typical sandwich shop. read more

This place is kinda hidden and probably doesn't get a lot of foot traffic. Interior is charming but tiny. I had to pay almost $4 to take out cash from the conveniently located ATM because it's cash only. I was unaware until I paid and handed my card over. The staff didn't speak really. No "hello" when I walked in and was the only person inside and just "are you ready?" before telling me cash only. I got the muffuletta and it was pretty average. The same sandwich at the Mariano's deli is better and tastes fresher. There's not much else around there so I can't really see myself going back but if I do I'd bring cash, try something else, and I wouldn't expect the friendliest of employees. read more

Service was fine. My Italian sub had a spongy bread that would would expect to find at Subway. I would guess it's purchased in bulk. I would like to use this place more since it's down the street. I will continue to go down to Grand Ave. where the delis bake their own bread. read more

I've been here twice, the first time I got the meatball sandwich and it was pretty good, a little pricey but it was good so whatevs. It took FOREVER (by meatball sandwich standards) to get my food and it was sort of confusing ordering because they asked what I wanted on it and when I said 'Just what it says on the menu' the cashier looked confused and was having trouble putting the order in, I was semi-expecting my order to be wrong when all I wanted was a meatball sandwich. They were friendly but it seemed disorganized. I got an Italian sandwich and it was just OK. I paid $14 for it, so I don't think I'll be going back for that. I would have been just as satisfied going to Jimmy John's and it would have cost about half as much. I think if I do go back it will be to get a picnic basket if I'm having company or another hot sandwich for a game. Over-All pretty solid, don't know that I would go out of my way to suggest it to anyone over a ton of awesome lunch spots in the area. read more

I was really excited to learn they had gluten free bread but it was terrible. Flavor was good enough but the sandwich bread crumbled the moment I bite into it. I really want to go back but they need a better bread. Try Canyon Bakehouse! read more

I am a vegan so I cheated and ordered a vegetarian sandwich and now I cannot stop thinking about how good it was. The bread was fresh and the sandwich was simply wonderful! Cheap too! The manager was a very friendly guy who came around the counter just to have conversation with me. You never see that these days and I felt as though these people are very genuine and authentic, just like the food! read more

I was just telling a friend last week that the one thing I can't find done to my liking in Chicago is a deli sandwich. I am pretty particular, I think the bread to meat ratio needs to be spot on and I want soft bread that won't cut the roof of my mouth. I hadn't found what I was looking for until I tried Rosie's. I got the Trifecta and it was PERFECT! The bread is soft but thick, the perfect amount of meat and soooo flavorful. This is my new spot for sandwiches. The one downside is it's cash only but they have an ATM so it's fine. If you're on the hunt for a good deli sandwich go to Rosie's now. read more

We had a great experience the first time we visited and got sandwiches. This last time we went, both staff members were very rude to us and didn't put ingredients on my sandwich that I asked for. read more

The food was good, I had the couch and my boyfriend the Italian beef. It wasn't life-changing but definitely good ingredients. However, there was a "2-person picnic" special that was not mentioned to us, and although we essentially ordered half of what was in thar special, we payed way more. I thought it would've gone a long way if the person at the register had been thoughtful enough to have mentioned that. I didn't particularly feel taken care of as a customer in that moment and the sandwiches weren't that delicious to warrant the pricing. read more

We ordered two eggplant parm (hot) and an italian (cold) sandwich. The eggplant parm in the eggplant parm sandwich was cold, like straight out of a fridge cold. It was straight up awful! The pickle was not a pickle. It was a slice of cucumber without any flavor. Even supermarket deli sandwiches are better. read more

Yummy! Delicious sandwiches made to order. Special orders don't upset them. Lol. They will make the sandwiches anyway you want them. the staff was friendly and the service was prompt. we had picnic for two special. it included 2 sandwiches, chips and drink all for $14 per person. we had the trifecta and muffuletta sandwiches. the muffuletta had the most delicious olive giardiniera. forget about the corporate chains and indulge in a chicago mom and pop shop. you will be pleasantly surprised! read more

I got the italian 12 inch. The oils soaked through the bag but I don't care it was so good! I get the italian sub from every sub shop and this might be my new favorite! A great staple sub. read more

I ordered an Italian and cannoli for lunch. The bread and meat tasted delicious, so fresh. And the cannoli was to die for. Good thing I live down the street! read more

Ordered the muffuletta and meatball melt for takeout. Everything was fantastic. The sandwich was amazing and large enough for two plus left overs. Definitely worth checking out! read more

The meatball sandwich here with giardineria is LIFE. Was just wishing recently that Logan had an Italian sandwich shop and lo and behold this place appears. High quality sandwiches right here! read more

Just tried the classic Italian sub....phenomenal. Friendly staff, quick service, fresh & delicious ingredients. I'll be back to this little Logan gem in a jiffy. read more

Rosie's makes a pretty legit muffuletta. I was moping about not going to NOLA due to quarantine, but found the muffuletta from Rosie's to help cure those blues! I haven't had a good one outside of NOLA previously. A+ read more

Great addition to the neighborhood. Both the Italian beef and the meatball sandwich were excellent. The sandwiches weren't super cheap but they were reasonably priced and you should expect to pay a little more for quality. If you disagree, you can go elsewhere for the $5 foot long with questionable meats on weird smelling bread. read more

I normally don't write reviews, but I have to admit This is a great little spot. I had the Italian beef, which was really good. Service was great. read more

I drive by this place all the time. After reading the great reviews I finally stopped in today. I ordered three sandwiches, and, as with other customers, wasn't told about the all cash policy until after I ordered - please, put a "cash only" sign on the door or on the counter. I have been in the customer service industry for 40 years - smile, and, at least pretend your having a good day. I am not inclined to go back because 1) I did not feel welcome, 2) I was never even thanked for my business even after spending $40, 3) I did not feel the "Couch sandwich was worth almost $14. It was smashed meatballs with a slice of beef and they forgot the cheese. A shame really. read more

Their muffuletta sandwich is the closest thing to Central Grocery's in NOLA. It's huge and has a great olive tapenade.

Man do I love this place 2 out of 5 times. When I walk there, awesome! When I order from home, fucking nightmare. Last three grub hub orders go a little like this 1) delivered super late 2) got my order wrong and 3) didn't even deliver my food after I dunno, an hour and a half wait. If you're willing to walk to them, during the day, with cash in your hand (cash only because making life hard is what they celebrate) I promise you will love their sandwiches. However, if you act like it's 2019 and order online because you truly want to support the local business, they will probably leave you high and dry, or just fuck your night up somehow. Pretty fucking cool dudes. Can't wait to come in and have a great in person experience next time, clearly ordering is too god damn difficult. On a total chicago scale, when you can eat it it's right up there with the best, otherwise it's furious spoon garbage level. Going to order anything else available now. Thanks. read more

I cannot say anything good about this place. I would sum it up as barely Subway quality at JP graziano prices. I got the veggie sandwich and it was stuffed with jarred marinated vegetables. It's clear they have never met a vegetarian if they thought this mix on a sandwich makes sense. If I wanted to pay 11 dollars for a sandwich, jarred vegetables that came from Costco isn't a good look. The final complaint is 3 dollars for the kool aid! Are you crazy? Preying on the Logan Square folks like we don't know value is insulting. read more

Very expensive for an average sandwich. We spent $40 for two sandwiches/chips/drink. Tasted like Subway. Plus the staff was super rude. I couldn't hear what the guy behind the counter asked me because the music (bad music) was blasting in the background. Go somewhere else for lunch! read more

This place is awesome! The staff is cool and the sandwiches are delicious. Their tuna is the best tuna I've had.

Decided I would give this place a try since it is nearby. Tried the 10.00 eggplant parmigiana sandwich and the 4.00 Nutella brownie. Both were average at best and DEFINITELY not worth the money!!!! Stingy portion of brownie. Never again. read more

This is not a review for food, as I have heard good things, but a review for them not indicating anywhere on their site or marketing that they are cash only. I was disappointed to get there and discover that when no other indication was given outside of the sign on the door after you arrive. They do have an ATM on site, but I did not want to pay an ATM and bank fee to buy my dinner, as I think that is something that should be made more clear. read more

New sub shop in Logan. Finally! Great food with really high quality ingredients. I had the Classic Italian which was excellent. The bread always makes a sub and these guys have great bread. Place is really tiny so it probably a great place to come and get take out. The have a cool picnic option which includes everything you need to have a picnic on the Blvd. Should crush it this summer. read more
