Ordered a depth charge sub with no onions to go. Before I knew it sub was ready and it was being handed to me. Very fast. Gentlemen at front was nice and helpful. Bread was super soft, and the sub sauce was nice and tastey just like I remembered. Clean inside with others having a bite to eat. This is an oldie but a goody spot. Highly recommend. Another dish we loved when I was younger was the gryo plate but we wanted something cold this time. Will be back. read more

Clean inside, went in for pick up. Very fast service. Love the crinkle cut fries. The roast beef sub had way more lettuce that I had to dig to find the meat. If it had a little more meat and less filler, I would have added an extra star as it would have tasted way better than feeling like I am eating a salad on bread. read more

Bad customer service management doesn't even greet You !! He'll just look at you when you want to order !! Place close at 2am but at 1am you only can order cold sandwiches and fries , read more

Been going out of my way for years to come here but I'm probably not going to bother anymore after a few bad experiences with my sandwiches. Yesterday I got my typical sub and the first thing I noticed when I took it out was the lack of meat. 2 slices of roast beef, 2 thin slices of meat on a sandwich with a 4 inch thick bun. That's a bread sandwich with lettuce and Italian dressing for $10 read more

I came here and ordered two GRILLED chicken sandwiches. Before I proceed, what does grilling mean? I Googled the word, and this is what Wikipedia had to say: "Grilling is a form of cooking that involves heat applied to the surface of food, commonly from above, below or from the side. Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat, and tends to be used for cooking meat and vegetables quickly. Food to be grilled is cooked on a grill (an open wire grid such as a gridiron with a heat source above or below), using a cast iron/frying pan, or a grill pan (similar to a frying pan, but with raised ridges to mimic the wires of an open grill)." None of that above was executed to my sandwich. NONE!!! They went into the freezer, grabbed two frozen chicken breasts (no idea how long they have been in there), and nuked them. Then, they proceeded to fry them on the GRIDDLE. 2.5 minutes on each side! Then they gave it to me. After ONE bite, I couldn't do it. I couldn't eat it. That's how nasty this lazy process of a sandwich was. I want you to observe the pics from the sandwich. Then I want you to access the decline of the sandwich, based on my past pics, from just months ago. To quote a line from the Mortal Kombat video game: "YOU SUCK!!!" read more

Sub City has very good and fresh sandwiches. Besides french fries I've never ordered any other frozen foods. I stick with their subs because they're consistent. The staff is always nice and professional. They're also open late in an area that doesn't have a lot of late night options. read more

This food is honestly gross. Their service sucked. I called them and let them know what was going on with the Uber and my order was placed at 11:04. They already had it made before then and then when I receive my order, it was gross and soggy it was totally disgusting. It's not even worth ordering. Don't even waste your time. read more

We recently moved to this area and frequently drive by here. So we finally got to go last night. The place has a great atmosphere with plants and life size displays you would have to see to appreciate. I had the Philly Cheese Steak and it was delicious. They make it fresh to order on their grill. Its served on French bread with green peppers, mushrooms, grilled onions and mozzarella cheese. Excellent! My wife enjoyed the Turkey Sub Sandwich. It has Turkey with mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion. Also delicious! This is not your usual sub shop as they have a ton of menu items normally not found at a sub shop. From burgers and Gyros to French fries. They have a very large menu selection. Good service, fast and friendly. Food is extra fresh, even the bread. This is a must go to place for sub lovers! read more

Submarine City - the inside of a fast food restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

NO STARS DESERVED!!! The management at this establishment is highly unsatisfactory. As a long-time customer, I have been attempting to reach out to them throughout the summer, but I have received no response. This lack of communication is concerning, especially for customers who encounter issues with their orders, regardless of the order's size and cost. It is unclear whether the owners are absent or indifferent to customer concerns. The inability to resolve an order issue through numerous phone calls and in-store visits is unacceptable. As a former loyal customer who frequented the establishment weekly for family dinners and enjoyed the food, I am disappointed by the current management's lack of attention to customer satisfaction. I urge potential customers and repeat customers to exercise caution and be aware that they may not receive a call back if they encounter an issue with their order. read more

Excellent subs! The staff is always ready to make the very best sub sandwich's in the area!!!!!

If you want a giant sub for a party theirs are great, ask for extra Sub sauce. If you Want a late night eating spot this is it. Not Much is open late anymore and they have more then just subs, they have all different types of food. They have a good gyros, and shrimp. read more

Aways get a King size corned beef with everything,hot,and bring it home.The sub was just as tasty this time as they have always been.Over the years the price has gone up,but so has my income and the price of all food.The service was quick and friendly.The inside was clean,but I brought our sub home.Great experience as always.Keep up the good work! read more

I was a bit let down today. I usually order my Italian beef sandwich online, but today I decided to dine in and order in person. I ordered the same Italian beef sandwich I've enjoyed the last three times: dipped, with nacho cheese and hot giardiniera. Unfortunately, this time it didn't live up to my expectations. Instead of the usual nacho cheese, there was a big glob of melted mozzarella on top. The sandwich wasn't dipped at all--the bread was dry, and parts of the beef were tough and overcooked, as if it had been microwaved for too long, not even cooked on a stove top. The beef tasted like leftover Italian beef that had been reheated in the microwave. Most of the beef was dry and lacking the juiciness I'm used to. Overall, it was quite disappointing. The only bright spot was the lady who tried to fix my Italian beef. The guy at the cash register on Saturday wasn't friendly--not just to me, but to many of the other customers as well. I'm not sure he realized I noticed his behavior. read more

One of the guys working up front is always a pri*k, and the woman who sometimes works isn't much better...I will say, however, they make a pretty good sub. Prices have gone up compared to previous years, but I guess everything has. Overall, I'll rate it a 4/5 because of the good (burger/sub shop) ambiance and the quality of food isn't bad. If it were cheaper and/or I didn't feel intimidated to walk in and place my order, I'd rate it higher. Also, the only reason why I won't say 3/5 is because they are open late, which is very much appreciated. read more

The food was so so good.I got the Reuben and the corn beef just melts in your mouth.The service and atmosphere was great workers were amazing.I highly recommend this place. read more

Decently priced food, and the portions are good too. Service feels a bit lacking anytime I go, but otherwise good spot to check out in Orland Park! read more

Trying to support local small business. Sadly we left after waiting at the counter for 20 minutes. No employee acknowledged our presence. None looked up to greet. There is no order line we stood waiting to order and some guy came in off the street walked right up to the counter and was helped immediately! To be honest, the place looks dirty and needs updating. The employees need to care as well. So we left and went to Pops on Wolf and enjoyed them immensely and supported local!!! read more

I was hungry they was open I thought the Philly cheesesteak would've been shareable it was small.

I'm a local resident and for a good sub sandwich our go too is Sub City. Their food is always fresh and delicious and they have the best dang fries this side of LaGrange Rd. If you drive by please make sure to stop in at least once. On a side note the staff is friendly and always willing to make your sandwich just the way you like it. read more

I must say this sandwich is pretty darn good. Not a ton of meat but the balance between the lettuce cheese and mayo make it great. This is the torpedo. Nice size sandwich with fries and drink $10 bucks. Not bad. Place is pretty clean. Looks like they have specials every day too. Yum. I'll be back read more

i love this place! so good! Clean, good sammies, BOMB staff! lets go I drive 25 minutes to get this food! read more

yooooo, so I've never once had friendly customer service at this spot. I would go here all the time growing up, so ive been here a couple dozen times over the years but tonight I walked in and asked if they do cash back on a purchase. one dude gave me a blank look stared off into space and never answered me. one of his coworkers had to answer me. terrible service, low quality food got me so upset, that this is my first time ever giving a place a yelp review. read more

Went downhill. Hardly any meat on my King Torpedo. Go to Rubinos cheaper and they put a ton of meat on it. Also tastes better .

Great place to eat at a great price whether it's a late night or lunch break. The workers are kind with great recommendations, I would recommend the gyros or any of the sub sandwiches. The place has a great "mom and pop" shop vibe to it which really seals its greatness in a time capsule of simpler times. If you're looking for anything from a tamale to chicken tenders to great sandwiches (and beef too); all at a fair price. This is the spot. read more

Stopped in at 1:45 am with some friends. Ordered our food, got it quickly. We sat down at a booth and started eating only to be rudely told MIDWAY THROUGH by an employee behind the counter (ratchet white girl) that "the lobby is closed" and that "you need to take your food to go." UM... 1. You're open until 3am 2. You served us 3. Watched us sit down and begin to eat. 4. Complained that "now I have to mop again" (I highly doubt that that place is even equipped with a mop.) Nowhere and I repeat NOWHERE in your dirty establishment is there a sign that said "lobby is closed." On top of all that the food was meh. I won't ever be back, I'd rather lick the floor of a gas station bathroom. read more

If you want true original Chicago style classics, this is the place to go! Best sub sandwiches and Chicago style hot dogs.

I have been coming here for the last fifteen to twenty years. My favorite sandwhiches in the Southwest burbs. Dine in or carry out. These are the old school sub sandwhiches that I grew up eating. I think about Submarine City every time I am heading south on La Grange Rd. My favorite lunch time stop. This is a classic; stop in you will not be disappointed. The type of place that is the cornerstone of a community. read more

I got the ribeye steak sandwich deal with fries and drink. It was no deal over $14. I won't say the sandwich was bad but it wasn't good either it's meh ! Fries are frozen and then deep fried to death they were not good, I tossed them. The steak on my sandwich was flavorless and so thin I think I could looked through it. Now for best part the only positive they had RC cola at the Fountain. Nothing here worth going out of your way to visit. While I was in there I saw two people return there food to counter said it was too salty well at least they had seasoning on there food. read more

Been coming here for 5 years and have never had a bad piece of food or bad service in this place. Nothing sits out everything is fresh even the fries with each order. I try to explore the menu more but have a hard time not ordering the rib eye steak each time I'm in. Kudos sub city. Keep up the good work! read more

I've ordered twice from this establishment. I have nothing bad to say. Pros: Great bread. Great meat. They follow instructions. Excellent taste Cons: None Tips: If you buy a pickle, ask for it quartered. Otherwise, it's a whole pickle and difficult to eat. Fin: I will continue to order from here. The subs are delicious and I love the pickles. Bottom line, it's a good sandwich. Regular is about 6", I'm getting a king next time I'm this hungry. Get extra mayo, it's a little sweet and adds to the sandwich. It's very good. My fave is the ham and turkey. It's deli meat but it's good when you're hungry and worth the money. read more

They don't answer there phone sometimes there chicken wings r raw the cashier always giving attitude and even when they close at 2 I can't get a cheeseburger after 11???? Cmon man all I want is food that's not McDonald's or burger king and I hate driving to Lockport for a sandwich read more

Submarine city is a small hole in the wall fast food place specializing in sub sandwitches, burgers and hot dogs. In driving buy I noticed a neon green Vienna Beef sign in the window and figured this would be a place worth stopping at. When walking in there's a handful of places to sit down and eat in. I noticed an RC Cola soda fountain with mostly RC and Nehi products. There's only a small area for food preparation. Overall I'd describe the interior of the restaurant as clean and cozy. I ordered a hot dog with everything. It came on a soft poppy seed bun. There was a slightly thick pickle on top. Nicely sliced onions, some thick and slightly wet tomato slices and enough sport pepper to cover the entire hot dog. The mustard and relish were applied perhaps a little too sparingly, and there appeared to be no sign of celery salt. Finally the sausage used in this instance is a natural casing skinned dog. It was well heated and had a nice flavor. Overall I would say that this was a very good Chicago style hot dog. Based on my experience here I'd recommend Submarine city if you're looking for a good quality Chicago style hot dog at a reasonable price. I'm giving it four stars, a surprisingly good dog from a place that specializes in sub sandwiches. read more

Submarine City - Hot dog - Sandwiches Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

I'm glad they were open late, 2am! The bread was pretty good, had a nice chew to it. But the meats in the Torpedo did not excite me. It was mostly ham with a little salami, not much flavor. The white American cheese kind of ruins the sandwich with its overly processed flavor and texture. The veggies were fresh and crisp, but the sandwich needed some acidity like vinegar, pickles or hot peppers. Overall it was kind of bland, perhaps I will try again with a different sandwich. Usually an Italian sub packs the most flavor, but maybe the Depthcharge or a Cheesesteak next time. read more

Submarine City - The Torpedo - Sandwiches Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

Good sub sandwiches here...we like the depth charge. This place has been in business for a couple of decades...right here on LaGrange Road. Even with all the construction on LaGrange, they seem to be able to get by. I suspect this outlet has changed hands a few times in the last 20 years, but the franchise and the product line up have kept their consistency. They have a nice selection and their larger sandwiches...like a three footer...are great for a party. But their number one item IMHO is French fries. They do it the old fashioned way. Cook the slightly oversize fries once lightly...let them come to room temperature or chill in the cooler...and then fry them again. Crisp on the outside...nice and meaty potato on the inside. Can't be beat. Give it a try. We come by here after getting ice cream a couple blocks away at Cupid Candy...sweet then salt...yes, it is overkill. Deliciously so. read more

Every time I visit home, I have to get a sandwich from Subcity. Literally, nothing compares to the subs I have at this establishment. Everything is fresh and the bread is so tasty. It's a very cute and clean place and I always leave stuffed! I pray they never close. I highly recommend getting a side of cheese fries there, they are great! read more

servers own narcissistic need to appear busy/involved led to her not hearing the "no" in "specifically no onions" as she started talking to someone else in the middle of my order 2x... called and was told to drink and drive if i wanted the conflict resolved called again after realizing the disrespectful nature of her statement and it went to voice mail, hillbilly workers in a hill billy establishment read more

Neon sign "Fresh cut fries" got me to stop in. False advertisement. Frozen crinkle cut fries. Ok for a sub and burger place.

This place is trash. Very unsanitary. It's sad that they do so well keeping the customers from seeing what's truly happening with their food. Instead of focusing on getting rid of the mold and ants. And the gunk that the meat sits out on. Not to mention the old food they keep using and coloring to make it look fresh. Absolutely disgusting and sick to my stomach. Addressed it to the owner/ owners son. He got upset and disrespectful. Never again stepping a foot in there. Stay away. The food reviews are false and have to be from their friends or family . Or even them. Record as soon as you go in there . read more

How has life gone on this long for me without writing a review for Submarine City? I can't, I just can't. This place has about as much nostalgia and place in my heart and diet as my grandmother's cooking. They've been around forever. Forevah evah? Fo-evah evah?? Yeah, that long, Ms. Jackson. Sorrynotsorry. My grandma used to bring these home for dinner, or we'd ride over and pick them up for the whole family. We'd stop there for lunches on occasion. I ate them with friends in high school. We took advantage of their late-night hours in college, and my wife and I will still zip down to Orland when we're hungry and don't feel like cooking. As was the case last night. It makes me smile when she actually suggests going there. I love knowing that she loves the place too, having grown up two states away. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's evolved a bit through the years. But the staples: the Depth Charge and the Torpedo are longstanding and both delicious. There's nothing fancy about the sandwiches, and I'm sure if I tried, I could deconstruct them to make them at home. Cheese, meat, shaved lettuce, thin tomato slices, onions and dressing. I think that's the basic. If there are some hidden secret ingredients I've never tasted them or seen them inserted. But there's just something special about having the perfect sandwich available to you whenever you want it, and knowing that it will always taste like home. read more

I hate to leave a 1-star review, but after my last couple times at Sub-City, it was the last straw, and not worth it for just short of a $10 meal. The subs in my opinion are just fair. I really prefer local business over chain restaurants in almost every circumstance, but Jimmy John's makes a better sub than Sub-City does, I've convinced myself of that. Yes, I know this place has stood the test of time, but just because it's old doesn't mean it's great. I think the only things this place has going for it is the late-night hours, semi-low prices and the garlic butter fries. We came in at around midnight and the place was swamped with an array of Orland Park's finest weirdos and drunks. It was really understaffed with only 2 people working the graveyard shift. They could have used at least 2 more workers for the amount of orders, which brings me to my next point. I ordered a Southsider, which is roast beef and corned beef, since the last time I was there the roast beef wasn't too bad. I specifically said hold the onions, and substituted garlic butter fries for the regular fries. My order came out nearly 10 minutes later, and my sub not only had onions on it, but they completely omitted the roast beef. The garlic butter fries are usually pretty good, but they have jacked the price up nearly $1 over a period of about 2 years, which is unfortunate, because the fries are still the same in portion and taste. I can't refuse these things though, they can't be replicated and are probably the only reason I still go to sub city, despite the greasiness and saltiness having variable levels of unbearable and delicious. I felt bad for the 2 guys behind the counter, and didn't think complaining or anything was warranted, despite my poor experience there. I'll keep trying Sub City once in a while and maybe get lucky one late night, but until then, I have to leave a measly 1 star for this place. Sorry to you Sub-City cult people.... read more
