Edited to add that I'm seeing this establishment is only here to profit off of blacks, which they feel superior to. Most of the comments call out there poor customer service as well as questionable, predatorial behavior. Stop having people unfamiliar or afraid to interact with people in roles where they have to INTERACT WITH PEOPLE. Typical stuff, not being respectful when presented with ordering mistakes, trying to charge people for silly things like bags for each sandwhich, etc. Things that NEVER happen in white areas. Absolute trash. Poor quality bread that was like a doughy shake. Got the large. Poor quality bread made it a diabetic fright. And it was disgusting. Meat was carne asada. I got a sandwhich that's supposed to be shaved meat. The Sweet Steak is a specific sandwhich. Imagine drinking an Horchata that was made of coconut milk. That's how weird it is to have you try to use your recipe for sweet steak. Isn't from your particular culture. Obviously you couldn't be bothered to research and respect the culture that this sandwhich comes from. Like you're going to tell me how it's supposed to be made? Cruz? Are you from this planet? A coconut horchata, or a buttermilk horchata, or a mayo horchata, or a cauliflower horchata - none of these are what you can get at 99% Mexican restaurant. Is carne asada usually ground beef? Just coming from SoCal it's like you're being deliberately obtuse. Really hope you take the time to think about this. It is absolutely bizarre hermano. You look absolutely bizzare to people with time to think about why you are choosing to make these decisions. Moreover it's disrespectful that you're not even trying to figure out why things are popular the way African Americans cook it. Weird and Trumpy to say the least. I avoided another spot owned by my non-black brothers because of the tendency to get frozen fried chicken in retaurants. It's unfortunate that this place is attempting to profit from the name Home of the Hoagie, a historical black female owned restaurant, yet they only supplicate the experience with poor quality. Didn't even know Home of the Hoagie used cheese. Quality is subtle like that. This place had their cheese sloppily added to the sandwhich. It's like they don't care about the community they are serving this crap too. It's really a bad look. Another "Hoagie" shop I didn't go to was also because the people making the food didn't seem like they even appreciated the food enough to replicate it with the care and degree that made their shop famous. If Mr. Cruz wants my business, take the time to replicate, at least the quality of Home of The Hoagie. All that great customer service doesn't help if your going to sell Greasy Spoon to make that quick dollar. Brought my friend from Europe here thinking it might be anything like Home of The Hoagie on 111th. You lost out on those dollars. Lost on some international good will. He's told his countrymen about Home of the Hoagie. Wanted to see if I could save some time by trying out your spot Cruz. Ended wasting time as the food was sooo terrible. Just feels disengenuous that you take the name to profit from it yet can't respect WHY they are considered the best. It's hard work that got them the coveted title. Else your name would be Cruz's Soul Carne Asada. Threw the 2nd sandwhich in the garbage without opening it. Fries both were the pre-frozen cheap stuff. Fries that I asked for sauce had hardly any! lol This is a greasy pop up. It won't last. Somebody got money, hired people they knew but failed to do anything else that could help their business. Home of the Hoagie is older than me for a reason! They are good. Even after the owner passed away. If you call ahead there's still some wait. After this horrendous experience, I'll wait in the long line, shut my mouth and like it. read more

I had received warm reheated fries with sauce but they weren't freshly cooked. They will acknowledge you when you enter the establishment majority of the time. read more

Food is good. It can save you a trip to Roseland for home of the hoagy. The service is nice and food comes out quickly. There is no seating it's strictly a carry out spot. read more

This place horrible. Gave the wrong hoagie. No apology. Customer service sucks as well. Ratchet. I'm done this place.

Quality of meat on sandwiches is questionable. The ice cream never melted which is strange. Overall, the flavor was good but I couldn't get past the quality of meat. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious! The smoked turkey hoagie with the steak sandwich is what I always order.

I love their hoagies, I order there sandwiches for all my events. The fact that they don't serve any pork products is a plus.

Their sandwiches are the best I love their veggie hoagie sandwich with extra sweet peppers and their turkey meat hoagies too! Brought them to a family gathering and they killed those hoagies! read more

I'm a former resident of Chicago living in Atlanta. so when I hit town I'm doing all the foods I miss getting in Atlanta. That being said I went to the Hoagie Place to get the Saturday special. a hoagie& a steak sandwich. The hoagie was ok but a little light on the mea. The disappointment came most from the steak sandwich. the meat was chunky like a steak taco. really y'all!!! Hated it read more

They messed up my order then said that it was my fault. They were not very helpful or nice about it. It was their response. That is the reason for the review. The response was not accommodating. It put all of the blame on me. At this point, I have not touched the food. I took it back with the receipt and the manager said that I should have kept arguing with the cashier about refunding or correcting the order. However, I didn't want them to give me any more food after they became nasty. They were not polite or pleasant and definitely not helpful. read more

I got a large turkey hoagie sandwich... I believe they gave me the wrong sandwich because the meat did not look like turkey... however the sandwich was ABSOLUTELY BUSSIN... I knew the food was good because there was a line outside the door. Prices were reasonable and this is definitely not a spot you can sit in. Had to wait outside because the space inside is so small... Definitely be back read more

I had two separate orders she stated it was extra for a bag maaam that's two tickets and each one should have their own bag . She told me ten cent like it coming out her pocket read more

I've heard good things about this place. The ice cream and shakes were great. The sandwich was more bread than other ingredients. It's an okay sandwich place, however it's not my first choice. The fries are great! Go for the fries and shakes. read more

The sandwiches are good, they're no Home of the Hoagie, but they'll do if you can't get to it. Service is good, you don't have to wait long for your food. I would recommend it and go back again and again. You won't be disappointed. read more

You can buy them by the trays for an upcoming party or something to snack on while on a road trip.. or just but a 6 foot sandwich for yourself Very Fresh bread n meat or you could order their famous Veggie Subs read more

So Um They HAVE A Phone Number Listed For What Reason I Dont Know Because They Refuse To Answer The Phone Which Is Dumb. The Lady In The Front Always Has An Attitude. The Area Is So Congested That Its Never No Where To Park And Alot Of People Just Standing Around Smoking Right In Front Of The Door. My Sweet Steak Was Dry As H E L L !!!! The Sweet Steak Needs More Sauce And Meat And Less Onions Ans Bell Peppers. The Turkey Hoagie Is Great. They Really Just Need To Improve On Their Customer Service And ANSWERING THE PHONE NUMBER THAT THEY HAVE ON THE WEBSITE !!! And Make The Sweet Steaks Just A Little Better read more

*** DON'T GO HERE!!!*** Not in a safe neighborhood. Very ghetto. If you are allergic to weed smoke, forget about this area. They are not adhering to requests at all. I already know from experience that they are not going to put many ingredients on a sandwich. So I asked for extra, I'm charged for extra, and I did not receive extra. What I hate more than anything in the whole world is a pre-made sandwich. No telling how old the sandwich is! Since when is smoked turkey pink??? What kind of meat is that??? Must be from a grammar school lunch room or something. They pissed me off so bad on my last visit that I had to do Tai chi just to calm my nerves! Quality of ingredients have gone completely down. Very old looking tomatoes and onions are being used on sandwiches. Not safe either to use that health wise. From the movie "Belly": "oh them n----s think they ballin'?? Gonna have to drop a dime on them!!!" read more

The service is quick and efficient. The food is nostalgic from the turkey to the sweet steak. I love their catering the way they package ur food. Now the ambiance isn't much only because the inside is small and you will have to stand outside even in the rain but it's worth it and they try their best to get u in and out! read more

The East 87th location is very disrespectful. Regardless to how nice you ask or no onion, tomato or extra oil they will not accommodate your request. They will hand you a pre-made sandwich and send you on your way. Also, the bread is randomly changed and often stale. Time to take my business elsewhere. read more

They really have to use better deli meat. I hate the Turkey thats slimy and have little jelly spots on it. It changed the sandwich. Overall they have a good start but the meat is huge part of it. read more

Could hardly wait for my parents to get back to Springfield from Chicago with our hoagies. They were horrible me nor my siblings liked them. They were not the sandwiches we remembered. Whomever decided to make them sweet not only ruined the recipe but lost a customer. read more

My job catered our Spirit Week with The Hoagie Place and it was an amazing welcome to the city! I just moved closer to the city but work nearby and I've been hunting for new spots to call my go-tos and this BLEW UP THE SPOT! Food was so amazing , I'm craving it now that I'm off work. I can't wait to have more! read more

Small location but big on the busy! I recommend calling your order in and picking it up. Barely standing room so it's easier to pick up and go. Great hoagies, great prices, and even better daily specials! read more

I love to have multiple restaurants in mind for the same category of food. The Hoagie Place is a super delicious spot on its own, but it's also a great alternative to Home of Hoagy. The Hoagie Place's service is faster, and the prices are cheaper. I only get regular hoagies or the steak, but I recommend any of their sandwiches. The staff is always speedy but kind. I love that all the Deli hoagies are turkey-based products. read more

Off the chain! I ordered a pan of the smoked turkey sandwiches for a get together. They didn't last long. Will most definitely be ordering again read more

I really wanted a "sweet steak" and was disappointed that Home of the Hoagy closed at 8pm on a Friday night BUT I'm glad they were closed because I would have never come across The Hoagie Place. Super small entry and order area but it was efficient. They were cranking the orders out timely. I ordered a large sweet steak cut in half with fry with mild sauce. Both were delicious; I would have preferred the steak to be hotter (more fresh) and the fries to be cooked a little longer but still really good. I was most impressed that the wait was not extremely long and the food was not disappointing. I will definitely go back anytime I have a craving for sweet steak. My friend said she had a hoagie and it was good. I'll have to try that too. read more

Got a steak sandwich, and basically, it was an onion sandwich!!! Didn't enjoy it all!!! If you're an onion fan, then this is the place for you and throughout there were chucks of onions!!! Clearly, these sandwiches are pre-made! The quality of meat i couldn't identify! I couldn't digest this garbage! What's also disappointing, even though it's in a Black urban community, there's NO Blacks working there! People save your hard earned money and go somewhere else! DISAPPOINTED read more

I found out about this place when I would drive down on 81st and Halsted. I noticed that customers would be coming in and out of the business. Finally I stopped by and this place does not disappoint. First of all, their hoagies are delicious. I am a vegeterian and I order two things on the menu which are either the veggie hoagie or the two spinach pizza puffs and fries special for $5 on Tuesdays and Fridays. The veggie hoagie is placed on Italian bread and contains sweet peppers, pickles, American cheese and oil. I usually always ask for extra oil and lemon pepper on my fries It is a big sandwich and it cost only $5! The wait is NEVER long. The most that you will wait is 15 minutes and the lady at the register is always nice. Check it out and you won't regret it. read more

My current preference, waaaaaaayyyyy over House of Hoagies which I think is too sweet, more of a true, "Steak Sweet." They have great deals, I usually get the Saturday deal and get a Steak and Hoagie. Both are good. I used to go to their former location on 147th.....NOTE: You have to call first, maybe multiple times, as of a couple of months ago. Female in their was on a personal call ignoring store phone. read more

The Turkey Sub is pretty decent. My biggest issue is the time. On Google, they close at 10:00 p.m. I came by at 9:38 and the door was locked and a older man said they were closed. I said your hours say 10. He said they leave at 10. So that means you don't close at 10. You close at 9:30. I drove pretty far so it pissed me off. read more

I recommend the Sweet Steak Sandwich, Regular Hogie & their fries. The service is decent & they move the line at a good pace. The place doesn't look like much & it's very small , but as long as the food is good, who's complaining? Lol, not me. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Yes you see five stars, they deserve it! Someone really taught them the secret of the old school Hoagy flavors! Spot on! Try the Chicago steak Hoagy. Customer service is great! It's more of a stand so expect to wait outside the door! Excellent read more

Quality of the food is questionable, but more importantly, they just don't listen. Requested 3 turkey hoagies for the kids to take to school. Asked if my order was correct from the person delivering food who said, "I didn't take the order". Received 3 regular hoagies instead. Donated them to the people who are here from Central America. read more

These Hoagies are so fresh and good Omg!!! The ice cream butter pecan is full off pecans.!The prices are good too .

I still love the turkey hoagies, it's my go-to place. The fries with sauce are bomb too! The service is pretty good! The hoagy platters are well-priced and always a hit. Also the grilled chicken sandwich is yummy too! read more

The food is okay but due to the pandemic is unsafe when a person cough over your food with and attitude is just nasty. read more

I went there on 5/11/24 placed & paid for a cater order for 5/12/24. I asked the guy at the desk what was the earliest I could pick up. He informed me that the earliest could pick up was noon. I get there at 12:05 and they were closed. A repair man at that auto shop informed me they wasn't open due to Mother's Da. I called multiple times before I went there. Finally talked to a rude customer service rep this morning. Her reponse was what do you want a refund or another tray of sandwiches. She didn't apologize or offer to accommodate me. I will never spend my money here again read more

5 estrellas, la comida siempre fresca , precios accesibles, siempre están muy ocupados pero vale la pena esperar

Nobody answering the phone at that location. They might need to hire more employees, but the food was good
