Before Dec. 2012 I would give it 5 stars but they shut down for holidays and re-opened with new people. Now its not the same tried it twice and never will go back again. They dont listen when you place a order. Cheese? Yes please...sorry did you want cheese? Yes I did!...Cut in half ok no problem get home not cut in half...poor service. Wish the other guy and older lady were there such a waste now!
Review Source:Our experience was a little different than the others on here. Â First I would go back again. Â I would be interested in trying their Italian Beef Sandwich. Â They only have 1 kind of bread which is fine. Â The Italian Bread was good, but we have kids and it can be hard for them to chew depending on the age. Â Our kids gave up eating the sandwich so I had to go with something else. Â Also it would help if they had an allergy menu. Â They have several different sizes of subs and a little slimmer of a menu. Â I would like to have seen the reverse. Â But it is a good sandwich overall, very nice people and I would go back.
Review Source:We order two sandwiches a Wise Guy and an Italian sub. Â I thought the sandwiches were a bit skimpy on the meat and the bread could have been fresher. Â The sandwiches come with mayo which a true Italian sub should not have. Â A classic Italian sub should be dressed with vinegar, oil and Italian seasonings. Â The staff is friendly and the service is quick. Â Yes, they are better than the other sandwich shops (subway, jimmy johns) but I expected more for a $5.35 sub.
Review Source:The "subs" here are actually a meal, if you order a meal, so you could just order what the menu expects you to for one human (a rare thing these days!), but the bread is horrible and the sandwich tastes like something you could just make at home.  There is nothing "restauranty" about these subs; if you want this taste, just go to Jewel and get some hard Italian bread and then put stuff on it.  The meat is very good, the cheese is "okay," and both are very fresh and look like they may even be more natural.  But they put it on that shitty bread.  Basically go here if you're hungry and really want to be full and/or don't like ordering random things (such as 3 sandwiches instead of a meal) in order to keep yourself full, and don't mind paying for something that's exactly the same as what you would make at home.  The place is also VERY expensive; over $5 for a 6-inch sandwich and nearly $10 for a meal (but with only a 6" sandwich).  Then again if the meal is filling you, does that make it better?  I don't know.  The owners are VERY nice, but unusually they don't harass anybody.  I have literally never seen that combination before, except sometimes at Caribou Coffee, but these guys are nicer then most Caribou Coffee, though not necessarily the particular Caribou that is next door (because they are also insanely nice).  They have no oils for their breads or sandwiches, which is really not good because the bread is so hard it actually cuts your mouth (though it wasn't stale).  I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone, since all they make is the same thing you could make in your kitchen, but I can't say I'd never go back if I was ever here for some reason, since the only other places with food that I see are Subway, which will never fill you up even though it tastes amazing (though a lot of Subways should he  boycotted on principle of disgustingly-acting employees), and Dunkin Donuts, which is even more expensive then, well, any restaurant or food-seller you've ever seen in your life.  Though there is a Dominick's, and they have good sandwiches that they make and also gets puts on rewards cards, so I'd probably go there unless I'm starving.
Review Source:this is as good as it gets. taste like subs you would find on taylor st. in chicago. the meats and cheeses have HUGE FLAVOR unlike many competitors.
the staff is friendly and the meal deals are kind of a bargain when you see the huge bag of chips that come with it. also, my girl loves the delicious peanut butter cookies.
will have to try the italian beef sandwich next.
this place should be packed at dinner time. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!
The sandwiches are the best. Â I was going to say how the bread is what makes the sandwich but the quality of the meats is excellent. Â A family run business. Â I was even waited on by a very friendly very elderly lady whom I suspect was the Matriarch of the family. Â I recommend them to every one.
Review Source:I love Fontano's subs. Â They offer real italian subs on fresh chewy italian bread with lots of top quality Italian deli meats and cheeses. Â It is a real and real delicious sub. Â They do not skimp on the meat and cheese. Â I really like the Godfather sub with capicola and provolone. Â Their homemade meatball sub is also delicious.
It is a little hard to find the store located around the corner from the Jewel on 95th street next to Caribou Coffe and Oberweis, but worth the easy search. Â I don't understand how anyone can go to the other guys (like Sub "par" you know who subs).
The Italian Beef Sandwich has arrived in South Naperville. Â Yes, I know the name is 'Fontano's Subs', and yes the Subs are very good.....but this place has the BEST Beef Sandwich and BEST Meat Ball Sandwich around....anywhere.
Better than Portillo's, better than Al's beef, better than Buona, better than Mickey's Red Hots, better than Smiley's, better than Mr. Beef.....it beats them all.
How do I know this? Â Scientific Research.
After trying both the Beef and Meatball Sandwich, I thought to myself "Wow, that's the best I ever had. Â Could it really be true, or was I wrong? Â Well, in the last few weeks I've tried Portillo's.....tried Buona, tried Al's, tried 'The Patio'.......and YES, the Beef Sandwich at Fontano's is the best.
Why is it better? Â First of all taste and tenderness, the most generous portions of actual beef stuffed into the sandwich, and finally the bread. Â
If you doubt my research, try it for yourself. Â Take the challenge, and eat beef sandwich's for lunch for a week straight.....and then you tell me what you think!
