“ I apologize in advance for the lengthy review. I just wanted to say I had an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish today 12320. I called around 115 to place an order for delivery, and the lady I talked to on the phone was extremely friendly, pleasant, and professional, even though it was very busy. She apologized for having to go through door dash or grub hub, I cant remember, and for the minimal wait time, because they did not have a delivery driver for the day, and were very busy. She couldve told me to order through door dash, my words, not hers, but she was happy to take my order over the phone. She in no way complained about being busy, nor seemed to show any stress, anger, or inconvenience. This girl can work under pressure! It was such a smooth transaction. In fact, she said she was very grateful for my purchase, and thanked me multiple times for being nice and accommodating. I had absolutely nothing to be upset about, but she was grateful anyway. My food got here very quickly, was absolutely delicious as usual, a lot for a good price, and there was even a friendly and personalized hand written thank you note on my receipt. I hope nobody gets in trouble for me saying this, but they even threw in a cookie for me, and it made my day. I only wish I caught her name, but hopefully the date and time will help with that. Thank you so much for the pleasant experience, I will absolutely order from you guys again! ”
“ I really liked the sandwiches. The taste and the ingredients that goes into the the sandwiches are better than any subways. Also, the shakes are tasty as well. The employees are nice and polite. Also, loved the setting and the various NIU souvenirs that can be seen in the store. Although, they should allow tips in cash and add a tap jar since tips can only be paid in credit cards and not cash. ”
“ I got the BLTA and a cup of Mac and cheese which was very good! The sandwich was Smokey and warm perfect for this freezing day. Its also just 500 feet away from the edge of NIUs campus. Ordering online was simple and ready as soon as I got there. ”
“ Very friendly staff and sandwiches are better than other sub chains Jersey Mikes is almost the same level, but mostly just a different experience. Fresh ingredients and really good bread. They have multiple options for vegetarian subs too which is nice. ”
“ The staff at this location is SO NICE! My boyfriend decided to try a new soup and asked the worker how the soup was, but the worker hadnt had it yet. Well my boyfriend loved the soup and went back to the counter to tell the worker how good it was and the worker talked to him for a few minutes. It was a great experience!! The worker also recommended the broccoli cheddar soup for me, and it was so good I came back the next day to have it again ”
“ Seriously my favorite sub shop in general but talk about one exceptional, kind and compassionate staff. I ordered for my daughter and I without realizing I didnt know where my phonewallet was when I went to pay. I had enough cash on me to cover my daughters food but not my own. I was feeling humiliated and then of course worried not knowing where my belonging were. They comforted my panic by offering anything to help the situation and gave me my sandwich that was already made while tears were forming in my eyes in front of my kiddo. My phone was recovered and all was right with the world. There is no way to truly summarize how special that experience was. The staff was an exemplary moment of human connection and support. Thank you so much for your warmth and decency towards my daughter and I. Its the kind of ripple that makes waves as it gets paid forward. And of course my sandwich was amazing. ”
“ It was my first time eating here. Loved everything. Portions were excellent. We requested some minor changes to some of our items, and everything was just how we asked. Highly recommended. We will certainly be eating here againmany times. ”
“ I got a pickup order on Friday at 5pm and the sandwich was AMAZZZZING. Thank you to whomever made that good a sandwich!! ”
