This spot is a good late night munchies spot. BG Fries are literally to die for here, pizza puffs are fire, and the subs are ok. Fairly priced and they're open late so you can't go wrong. read more

Butter Garlic Fries. 'Nuff said. Some people put melted cheese on them, but that's like putting ketchup on a Chicago hot dog. You just don't do it. Those in the know put celery salt. Those in the know about "BG Fries" eat them as is. read more

I make a trip here every so often and I always get the butter garlic fries. They're sooooooo addictive!!! My favorite sandwich is the Ruben and it's always made amazingly. Highly recommend this place! read more

Been going here since I was in high school. Every time I come home I make sure to stop here and grab myself bg fries and an Italian beef. I hope it never changes!! read more

I have a special spot in my heart for this place. I grew up in Forest Park, and my house was a block away. I remember I would come here every Friday night as a kid and get a gyro and BG fries (which are amazing!). The food is great, the guys behind the counter are funny. It's just a great place to go. It feels kinda like a warn blanket. Other notable items are: Sub Tender sandwich, patty melt, burgers,... pretty much anything on the menu. You can't really miss at a place like this. They been is business longer than I can remember. Plus, they serve the drunk crowd til 4am. Can't beat that with a stick... read more

Great food. But every time i call in my order its a guy who cant understand simple english messing up the whole order. Still leaving a 5 star. read more

The BG fries here are immaculate, just outstanding. I get them every time I come here. One complaint I have would be that my wife took the kids. Brenda, if you see this, they're my kids too. read more

My job is about 5 min away so I was pretty much a regular customer. One day I went in there after work and order a polish with fries, I noticed the person who was preparing my food grabbed my hotdog bun with his bare hand and I politely asked the cashier "can I please get another bun because I noticed that he grabbed my bun with his bare hand" the cashier was upset and saying that I don't know how a restaurant is suppose to be ran and that the cook grabs everyone's bun with his bare hands and it was surprising to me because he was mad because I didn't want the cook to grab my bun with his bare hand and on top of that the cook did not wash his hands. I asked for a refund and he told me that he could not give me a refund. After looking at the other reviews, most of the terrible service was geared toward black ppl and that what I felt it was. read more

Patronized this particular establishment few times and haven't been disappointed yet.

Always a go to spot for me...I have been coming here since 1991....the Sub T with the butter garlic fried, the grilled ribeye, the milkshakes...everything is great!! read more

I like this place alot, I think the steak sandwich can be better but overall the menu is very much enjoyable & the selection gives you what you need. A+ read more

Great little sub spot. Why would you ever go to Subway/Quizno's etc when you can get an amazing sandwich from sub tender's? You can't go wrong with any of the subs, and they're really cheap too. You'll see locals grabbing a cheap dinner, bar hoppers filling up after a night out, moms indulging their kids - Sub Tender seems to please em all. As others have said, be aware that you're going to leave reeking of garlic for the next day, but you won't care. read more

Every week, my diet is ruined because of the delicious food that I find at this restaurant. They should probably have some form of a rewards card as I can tell that most people who go here are regulars. If you're Vegan, ask for the B&G fries without Butter, so technically just the G fries. read more

My fingers are greasy and my breath stinks of garlic, but I've officially accomplished my first serving of butter garlic (BG) fries. I think these would be best enjoyed after a night of heavy drinking (so you can't tell whether the hangover is from alcohol or grease/salt), but even stone cold sober... They're pretty darn good. read more

If I'm being honest, I think it's ridiculous that if you go there 15 minutes before closing, they DON'T have a full menu. They've closed their grill, fryer, and ice cream machine. Why are you still open then??? If you're open, you should have what you have listed on your menu. I am very disappointed in the limited menu if you go in late. If you're OPEN, you should BE open! read more

While you can certainly go here any time of day...the best time to come is anytime after spending many hours drinking on Madison. Many subs to choose from but the stand outs are the B&G Fries and the Gyros. If you transport either of these in your car...the smell will last for days. If you consume them after drinking copious amounts of beer there will be a smell emanating from you the next day which may prompt distant neighbors to contact the morgue for a pick up. Neither of these reasons should deter you from coming here. Enjoy the food and just accept the after effects as par for the course. read more

Haha sub T. I dont think I have ever been there sober. This place is great though. Get the B-G Fries.

I need to give an extra star cause they now take credit cards, hooray! This is seriously tasty food for drunk people at bar time. Do yourself a favor and grab some BG fries and a depth charge to soak up the booze. read more

Would give it more, because the food is actually pretty good. Greasy as hell, but at 3am it's the best food you've ever had. The service is where the other 2 stars get removed. The guys speak Greek and Spanish to each other unless its to put in an order. They give each other looks and I'm guessing from their creepy smug smirks and attitude that they are talking about the customers. Never once have I seen them smile at a customer and I've been coming here for 6+ yrs now. So moral of the story, don't be expecting any sort of customer service. At least they accept credit cards now though, used to be just cash. read more

I think I see a trend. If a place is open after 2 am and people are raving about it, those are the hardcore party people. Moreover, the food is probably G.W.D( Good when drunk). I went here for lunch after hearing people raving about it. Plus, I saw it featured on Chicago's Best. I had the ham/turkey sub with onion rings. Don't ever order the onion rings, yuck! The sub would have been the best. All the ingredients seemed fresh, but I had to play tug-of-war with the bread. I'm too young to lose my teeth. I'll stick with Mr. Submarine and skip the knock off. read more

A solid place with solid food. It's great to get food you're running around or have been out at a bar all night. Favorite thing is the pastrami. I can see why people absolutely love this place. read more

Came to this place expecting some awesome subs, some great garlic fries, and decent prices. I got two out of three. The fries and the prices were both awesome. I was underwhelmed with the sub sandwich though. First thing, the bread was rock hard. I came late in the evening, but I shouldn't get bread that is nearly stale and tough to chew. The meat and the toppings were alright (not crazy about iceberg lettuce), but it could have used a little bit more. I'll come back and give it a try around lunch time and see how things improve. read more

The BG ( Butter Garlic) fries are the best in town. Their subs are descent... but the BG fries are everything.

Definitely a great spot to go after getting shit faced. You got to get BG fries lol. I am a party animal and i love this food when i am out partying hard on madison street. read more

I discovered this place when I first moved to Forest Park 5 years ago, my husband grew up on this place...Been here for years! It's your local sub place, but they not only give you chips, they have fries as well. They are most famous for their BG fries, which are butter garlic, but I don't like them at all. Way to much seasoning. This place has pizza puffs, gyros, hamburgers, chicken tenders, salads, shakes and much much more. My favorite thing to get is the Chicken Tender meal, that comes with fries and this really good toasted garlic bread. I have to say their bbq is my favorite and even beats any bbq place I have been to. On the weekends they are open till 4am. It's right off of Madison and Des Plaines Ave, so after leaving the bars, this place is always a great place to go if you need a quick cure. The place is always clean and I don't ever feel grossed out when I go there. Check this place out, it's always good. They now take credit/debit cards. Yeah!!! I don't carry cash read more

I grew up eating here and 25 years later this place has not changed. Still the same great subs I grew up with. Way better than subways or jersey mikes. read more

I have to be honest. I've only gotten the gyros there. And I LOVE them. They are really big and really good. Great sauce. I also get an order of fries (and then order extra sauce for dipping purposes). Great, great, great.....when you need something bad, this is something good. read more

They are open late and they are better and cheaper than that one dollar footlong place. I think Gerard eats here a lot.

The place is now on a new generation and they still hit the mark every time. Great food, fair priced and not much more you could ask for. If you are in the area, give them a try. My fav is the depth charge and if you like fries, the b g fries are fantastic. read more

The subs are good, nothing special but a decent value for the price. Ingredients are very fresh, which is surprising considering the place seems like a dive at first glance. The gyros and BG (butter-garlic) fries- a greasy, sloppy, wonderfully tasty mess- are what really shine. Staff is efficient and friendly. read more

Always great food and service. Highly recommend it. Prices are good place is always clean. Open late until 2am. They don't do greasy food after 1am. read more

Anytime I've been out drinking and I'm hungry as one o'clock in the morning I come here. The food is great and fast. Even just the subs are really good. Cheap and delicious. Open late, what could be better read more

Great subs Fast and friendly service Open late. 4am on Friday and sat Best garlicky fries read more

This place is a total hole in the wall that I never would have experienced had my friend not dragged me in one night, but I'm glad he did. Really good combo (corned beef/roast beef sandwich). This has nothing to do with the restaurant but, they seem to have an interesting selection of customers. I get creeped out easily, so my suggestion is that you get food to go! read more

I've never heard of this place. My friend said it was one of her faves. I stopped in late last night and picked up a gyro and fries. The staff was very nice. The food was hot n fresh. The fries are amazing. My gyro was so good. I'm gonna have to stop in again. read more

If you're in the area at around 2 am, this place is the ONLY place to go. Literally and in the "oh-em-gee this place is amazeballs" kind of way. They not only have subs, but for the drunk foodies out there who's DD is nice enough to drive them for fast food on the way home, Sub Tender has a whole bunch of fried goodness. Mozzarella sticks, fried 'shrooms and best of all, pizza pockets. It's not too often that you can even find those things, let alone that late at night. read more

Best subs in the Chicagoland area. Always fresh, I have never been disappointed. The turkey and ham sub is the bomb. All I can simply say is Sub T has the best sub sandwiches. read more

Surprisingly reeaaaaly good Gyros sandwich, given the restaurant looks like it was in a Starsky and Hutch movie.

Submarine Tender have the best subs ever. I don't know what it is about them but they are very tasty and fulfilling! Not only are their subs good but my all time favorite is their Greek salads (A salad with gyro meat) Yesssssssssssss, I love love them!! Submarine tender is also known for their garlic fries (w/cheese), trust me they'll leave you licking your fingers and wanting more. read more

the subs are good and I likes the bread. I also ordered the garlic butter fries. I ate one fry and my mouth was filled with MSG flavor. I can see why people like it, but I'd rather not have my fries covered in MSG, just a personal preference. I would get a sub from here just not the fries. read more
