I recently moved to Chicago and Best Submarine is right near my house - luckily for me! Totally affordable, most meals (that includes a can of soda and fries) are around $6!
Fries are abundant and plentiful, and all meals seem to be made to order - everything is hot and crispy. My personal favorite is the Gyro Cheeseburger ...it's a cheeseburger with Gyro meat, so good and super cheesy!
For the amount of grease and grub you get for $6....it's a budget nuts dream.
You are going to have to trust your taste buds on this one.  The food is good, the menu is huge,  and the prices are low.  That being said,  make sure you get your food and split.  Call in an order if you can.  I had a hard time keeping a straight face when he asked  "for here or to go".  I wanted to ask  "Are you serious???".
Review Source:I've always been a big fan of the old fashion hot dog / Italian Beef / Gyros places. Cheap decent real food that you don't have to wait a long time to get. The guy working there was super friendly which is always a plus. I had the two polish sausages which were decent, a little over cooked, but good for the price. The fry's were really good and crispy.
This isn't exactly a place to take a date to, but a great place to sit down and grab a quick bite to eat.
Unless there are two # 2s, the place in Humbolt Park is not Best Sub #2. The Best Sub in Logan Square is the one coined #2. My hubby jokingly says it is named correctly (#2). Anyway, enough potty humor. This place is pretty scuzzy. But it is open really late and the workers here are really nice. I have a soft spot because of several late night Gyros from this place. I love a restaurant that gives you a story, as long as the story is not food poisoning.
Review Source:Fried chicken, fried fish, fried shrimp, gyros, burgers, philly steak, yeah one of those places. It's what you expect from a greasy hole in the wall, with great low prices.
A chicken sandwich with fries and a drink is less than $5, and come to think of it most meals run about the same. The fish sandwich is solid, and the fries are crispy.
Be clear when you order, though, or you'll end up with two sandwiches and a strawberry Crush in your to-go bag.
their subs may be the best, but i dunno. the hot dogs? not so good. the fried chicken, on the other hand, is so good it makes me weep. especially the half chicken dinner for a measly $5.25 which comes with salad, garlic bread, fries, hot peppers, hot sauce and a half chicken so big it looks more like a half ostrich.
Review Source:Having grown up in the South suburbs, there's a special place in my heart for dirty beef/hot-dog/gyro joints. You know it's going to be tasty and cheap when you see that one yellow sign with the submarine cartoon on it - they all have it. After recently moving to the North side, I was delighted to find Best Sub (#2; the original is on Division) right down the street from my place.
The good:
- Greasy, dirty, cheap (you'll walk out of there only about $5 lighter)
- Delicious
- Great beef, Vienna franks, Kronos gyros, and gloriously heart-attack inducing burgers
- Open until 4 AM every night.
The bad:
- Slow prep time. Call 10 minutes ahead.
- The fries aren't the greatest, but they'll do at 4am.
- Expect to encounter an unsavory character or two. It is, after all Humboldt.
Oh, and once my roommate and I paid for our meals with Panamanian currency worth about US$2. Another time I paid $9 for my $11 meal, and the guy gave us a huge plate of chicken and fries because it was there and they were closing.
This one and a half star food place gets 5 stars for having a huge menu that includes fried okra, sub sandwhiches, several kinds of fish, gyros, burgers, hot dogs, polish sausauge, shrimp. chicken, pizza puffs, cheese sticks, and a whole bunh of other stuff I can't remember.
I enjoy getting the #1 special, which is a big hamburger with all kinds of toppings, fries and a can of soda for 2.49$
And they're open until 2 am on weekdays and 4 am on weekends.
This place is kind of scary though and you may be solicited, but you don't have to eat there. They're fine with calling and ordering and you go get your food and get the fuck out.
7 days a week this place is open until 3:00am. Â The food isn't spectacular but for the genre its very solid. Â Their combos are tough to beat and is the perfect stop for those late night drinking or work fests.
Dinner tonight:
 Double "Whopper" (Includes all the lettuce, tomato, onion+ fixins and a nice roll) with cheese and fries.  They bolted on a fried egg onto the burger per my request ($4.50 + $1.00 egg).  Burger wasn't incredible but compared to stopping at a real fast food place I was the clear winner.
 Another friend got the Chicken Nugget combo (includes 8 nugget, fries and a pop) for $2.99!  She remarked that they were pretty good but wished she had gotten the chicken strip combo instead.
 I really enjoy the Cheese Steaks and other late night shouldn't but gotta have meals. Â
 This is a place for no frills, cheap, fast food, and if you're a bit nervous with the Humboldt Park hoodlums you may not want to risk it.  But if you're drunk, tired or downtrodden and just need a bite, or if you simply would rather go local and a bit better quality it's the same price as any of the fast food chains.
