Southtown Sub

I was in Chicago and said to myself "I need an Italian beef". Was over by university of Chicago and Yelp pointed me in this direction. As I pulled into the parking lot I asked a lady waiting in her car, what I should get. She suggested an Italian beef or the wings. I went with the beef extra wet, light peppers and cheese fries. I ordered cheese in my sandwich, but it was forgotten. The service was good, I even got a strawberry lemonade Sunkist included with my meal. the cashier assured me my choice of meal was the right one. I put some of the cheese fries directly on my sandwich and whew was it delicious. The food was seasoned perfectly, but it was a bit messy. I learned quickly that this was not a meal to eat while driving. It was a huge portion of food for under $15. I guess the neighborhood is supposed to be a bit sketchy, but I'm a Black woman, in a Black neighborhood so I wasn't too concerned, and it was daylight. Overall, the food is good, just go during the day, and pay attention to your surroundings.

Absolutely, great tasting food. Fresh and delicious no matter what you get. My number on favorites are the gym shoe and fresh chicken wings.

The food was great! The person taking my large order over the phone was patient with me. Owner even gave me a free pop.

The white door that's the entrance to this spot is makes me feel like I am on set of Candyman. It's a huge projectish white dingy door. Please either paint it or get a new one!!!! It's a small hood restaurant with no seats. The order taker and cook are behind plexiglass. I ordered an Italian Beef extra extra dipped with cheese fries and a cream soda. I was surprised they had cream soda usually places in the hood don't carry cream soda. The guy wrote my order down then told the cook I wanted a combination... I interjected fast. I repeated my order again and he got it right. So double check that order is right. I see in the other reviews they aren't accurate sometimes. I experienced it first hand. Anyway my total was $9.60.. It took like 8 mins. My beef was great!! Nicely dipped like I asked! They had seasoned fries underneath all the cheese. They didn't skimp on the cheese. Now I didn't like that the Italian Beef meat wasn't sliced like at other places (i.e Portillo's) the meat was chopped up. I think that's their way stretching their product. But my meal was ghetto goodness!

The good: Generous portions, the food is pretty good, service is fast, there are lots of options, and the staff are super nice to you if you are at least polite to them. They are also happy to customize orders for you.The bad: this is in a somewhat sketchy part of town. I mean, the kitchen is behind a huge plexiglass (bulletproof?) screen. That being said, I've walked here more than once and never had an issue.I certainly haven't tried everything from here, but have had a couple different kinds of sandwiches, fries, pizza puff and chicken nuggets. I'd rate them from good to less good in that order too. The food in general has not blown me away, but it's a helluva lot better than chain sandwich shops! And as a locally-owned place, I gotta support them, so it's really a win-win.Like I said, give it a try, go in hungry, be nice, and these guys will seriously take care of you.

Good make me not well the last time I purchased something. The fries and sauce were tasty. However, the other food my father and I are sent us to the restroom. Additionally, The front office staff at the time, was very rude and required social skills training. I completely understand this part.

OMG Chicago! This place really showed out for the late night munchies! My husband and I were looking for something to eat after spending some time with some beloved friends til 1am in the morning. Look up this neighborhood staple and decided to give them a call. They answered yayyyy and we placed our order for some chicken wings and a combo (roast beef/corned beef sub). When we arrived we paid and our order was already ready to go! The customer service was superb even though it was late! The restaurant was clean and welcoming. The prices were reasonable. We were so excited, we immediately started to eat in the car lolThe chicken wings were fried to perfection...so fresh and delicious The sandwich was made exactly how we ordered it! If you are ever looking for some late night eats, don't hesitate to give them a call! Great job Southtown

I went to this place for the second time because the food was good, but I asked for mayo on my sandwich and they charged me $1 I got the same thing before and wasn't charged when I asked about it the two girls at the register just laughed at me and offered no explanation... also watched them treat another customer poorly the last time I was here. I hate when people move into neighborhoods that are not their own and treat the residents of said neighborhood poorly!

Southside food options (esp late night) are hit or miss but I've had good experiences + hot food here. I'd just recommend calling them directly since the apps markup their prices real bad.

I have to say, the customer service was EXCELLENT! K.T., I believe their name is, needs to be recognized for exceptional customer service skills. It was clean and well lit. The food is good as well. I can see me returning.
