There is not a better sub shop in Chicago- Jimmy Johns & Potbelly pale by comparison. They've been around a long time, before I moved to Chicago in 1980.
There are 3 locations still around I think - Rogers Park, Lakeview on Ashland and Winnetka.
Best meats, bread and the captains secret sauce make these subs my favorite. Also, the soups are fantastic. Always busy but worth the short wait in line.
Nemo's has some of the best sandwiches that you will find in Chicago. Â I am biased since I have been coming here since birth, but their creations are amazing. Â The bread is always perfect and they truly do it right. Â My only gripe is that many times they fail to acknowledge their customers waiting in line. Â I know they are busy, but it would be nice for them to make more of an effort to greet and provide a higher level of customer service. Â With that said they have had the same staff for ages and they know how to make a great sub and soup.
Review Source:I've been going to this place since it opened. I have been searching for a better sandwich at other restaurants, but have not found it. The turkey club & high flyer are amazing. Every employee is awesome! I have never seen nicer interactive employees that are always smiling & saying hello. Is it the nicest place? Absolutely not, but that is what makes the experience all that much better. Please, stop eating at places that pale in comparison (i.e. Subway, Jimmy John's). If you go here, anytime you are feeling a sub sandwich, you won't go anywhere else.
Review Source:This place is great. Â Called last night for the soup of the day and asked when they were closing. Â The guy said 10 mins, but told me he would wait and they did. Â Ten minutes later we were there and got the best turkey chili and sandwiches. Â Friendly, kind staff, and most important, wonderful bread. Â I am from Philly and these are the best subs I have found in Chicago.
Review Source:One of the best sub places I've ever eaten at. The bread is so tasty, the ingredients are all fresh and the Captains Special Sauce just makes every sandwich. I always go with either the Northern Italian, which has great italian toppings, or the turkey club which i could literally never stop eating.
I've only gotten the split pea soup when they offer a sample(which I love about the place) and its just like mama made it. Thick and soooo flavorful. Definitely Legendary with Epic sandwiches!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great sandwich and soup shop. Â Absolutely kills on the chains (subway, jimmy johns, etc...). Â I've grown up on the split pea soup and, while I may be a little biased, it is easily the best split pea soup I've ever had. Â The staff is great and always offer a free sample of their daily soups. Â I also really recommend the minestrone, navy bean and turkey chili...
The sandwiches are refreshingly fresh and delishhhhhh... I love the northern italian, turkey club, turkey and cheese, seafare light, and they have a surprisingly great italian beef (most underrated beef in the chicago). Â the bread is delicious and may be the main reason why captain nemos separates itself from the chains.
My personal go to sub is the turkey club... the secret sauce is a great touch.
Please dont be turned off by the outside or the out-dated interior, the subs and soups are GREAT! and if you are a italian beef fiend please dont over look nemos... delishhhhhhhhhhhhh
I went here for the first time yesterday for lunch. Â I had a turkey sub and it was amazing. Â The sauce they put on every sandwich is delicious. Â "Secret Sauce" sooo good.
The staff is super friendly and I got the feeling that it's the type of place where families go and the staff knows every regular's name. Â That is my favorite kind of place.
Their vegetarian chili was also pretty good and everything was reasonably priced.
Quite possibly the most amazing Sandwich shop of all time. Â Every sandwich I, or my family has ever ordered has been a culinary delight. Â The staff is friendly and gracious, offering free soup samples and a welcoming attitude. Â They are notable for their soups and their sandwiches, the soups can also be purchased frozen. Â Personally, I recommend the Turkey Club. Â Don't forget the secret sauce!
Review Source:I used to walk over here on breaks from finals during high school. There is nothing else within walking distance (that's affordable) so that's a plus. And of course its Capt'n Nemo's so you really can't go wrong with the subs.
But, yes, keeping in line with other reviewer's: the place is a bit dingy. Also parking is horrible and it can get really crowded.
Its nice to be able to get your Nemo's fix if you are in, around or going through the north burbs.
