Sub Shop

I don’t know how anyone gave this place less than five stars!!! Amazing prices 4.50 6 inch!!! I’m amazed with how fresh and soft and perfectly baked the bread was! The meat and chees and toppings on their sandwiches are well though out and perfect. I came all the way for Portland Oregon to visit family here and am very impressed!!! Also– quick service and the sweet tea is really good!

These guys were awesome today with a to go order during lunchtime. I love that they can take special orders without hesitation. You rock¡¡¡¡

Downtown staple. Fast lunch option. Cash only. Voodoo Chips.

This is the best sub in Springfield. I love the chocolate chip cookies. My only complaint is that I live out of town and never get to eat here anymore. I come in on the weekends and they are closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

Best Sandwhich Place in town. Always so friendly. I LOVE this place. And their sweet tea is to die for.

Eh… I know people in Springfield love it. And I know it’s a quick jump, step, and a hop away from my work – which makes it prime lunch fare for many of my co-​workers – but the upcharge for a refill of soda when the sandwich isn’t «OHEMGEE AHMAZING» doesn’t really do it for me. Also, the «well, our hours may be this, but we may not be open during those times» also confounds me. I had an italian sandwich; it was okay. I’ve been recommended both the Reuben and the Veggie (with cashews, which I’d imagine is a flavor-​texture adventure with their soft bread). So, I’d say give it a shot, but don’t expect great things.
I feel like Sub Shop is one of those places you’re supposed to love if you’ve lived in Springfield your whole life or something. I haven’t, and I don’t. In fact, it makes me long even more for my dreams of Alpine in Oak Park and Fontano’s on the Loop. That being said, it’s one of the few non-​chain sub places downtown, so if you want a quick bite, bring cash.

There’s two things the most genuine of Springfield haunts really love: wonky, werewolf-​like hours and being cash-​only. For the most part, though, I’ve accepted this as a way of life ’round these here humble parts. The Sub Shop operates on these small-​town standards, so come prepared.
Still, you’re in for a truly quality sub sammy experience. The Sub Shop is like the Subway that could have once been, maybe (probably not, but I needed a comparison point); but instead of surly juggalos as your sandwich artists, you’ve got über-​friendly college-​age kids. Instead of slightly ill-​looking veggies, you’ve got rocking produce. Instead of sad, strangely reflective meat, you’ve got the good stuff. Long story short, this business means business, as long as it’s between 10 and 2:30 on weekdays.
After hmm-​ing and hahh-​ing over the very brief menu, I selected the Italian sub on wheat, which featured pastrami, salami, cheese, peppers, lettuce, and sub sauce (Italian dressing). Even though I scooped off he banana peppers and excess dressing like the picky jerk that I am, I still liked it and appreciated the intense flavor of the meat and dressing. However, I kicked myself for not getting the meatball sub (it was on special). But $ 7.25 for an awesome sammy, chips and a soda isn’t bad at all.
The location I went to downtown was very bright and spotless, also, which was merely a small bonus after the overall great experience I had. And it was crazy busy. And it was faster than like, Taco Bell even.
Why not five stars? I think I need to try something else to get me addicted and make me want to REALLY come back for more, but it’s only a matter of time.
