Branko's Submarines - Chicago

A DePaul staple, I've been going since I was a freshman, back in the days of Mama. Her son now runs the register and he's amazing, the food, amazing, the prices, affordable. Please support this Lincoln Park institution.

I’ve never been here but I always pass it when I’m walking to class and thought I’d give it a try. Went by myself before class and it was amazing. Although there weren’t that many people inside the atmosphere was chill and the service was great. I met Joe (which I’m assuming is the owner) and he is the most enthusiastic person ever, super friendly and loves to chat. I ordered a classic cheeseburger and fries with a large bottle of water and it delivered. The fries were crispy but not greasy and the burger was filling. And as a sophomore in college the prices are pretty good, all together it was about $15. Will 100% come back next week before I have class! This spot should definitely be on your radar.

Food was good, but the service was GREAT, I had a big order and it was ready sooner than I expected. Who I assume is the owner was extremely welcoming and friendly. Loved the atmosphere. I'll go back anytime I'm in the area.

I highly recommend visiting the newly reopened Branko's. I enjoyed a fantastic jumbo chardog there!

You can truly taste the love in the food at this place. It's a Chicago staple, and their Italian beef sandwich is my absolute favorite. The giardiniera is fantastic, and the marinara sauce is a perfect complement. I'm pretty sure that most of these items come from family recipes.
