TALES FROM THE SANDWICH SHOP

Here we will share “sandwich stories” from our customers.

Observations. Smiles. Appreciation. Testimonials. After all, we’re all about “The best sandwiches in Chicago.”

The best Muffuletta sandwich outside of New Orleans with Provolone, Capicola, Mortadella, Salami, and an Olive Salad on Muffuletta bread at Rosie’s Sidekick Sandwich Shop. The Best Muffuletta in Chicago.

Absolutely fresh and delicious sandwiches. I work in the city, but live in the suburbs, and just learned of this place. Can’t wait to try more stuff and take some home to the wife and son. Really great food paired with an awesome owner. “All I wanna do is go the distance” through every sandwich on the menu. Can’t go wrong here. Rosie’s isn’t a contender for best sandwich. They’re the champ. – Seth G.

PeggyWalked in and mentioned it was my first time coming in and received warm service and an amazing hot sub recommendation! Will definitely be adding this spot into my rotation and working on filling out my punch card! – Mimi

My sister and I tried this place for the first time today and had a great experience! I had the meatball sub and she had the caprese sandwich, both were delicious!! The owner and all the staff were extremely friendly! – Ashley F.

PeggyCame all the way from Grand Rapids MI for these delicious sandwiches! When you want authentic Italian Beef, definitely come here! The Trifecta was amazing too. I could only eat half at a time! But the staff are the best part! Great, welcoming, friendly group of guys. – SUE O.

What a phenomenal place. First, the food is on point. Italian beef is the best I had on the north side and the Couch sandwich is insane. Desserts are the perfect touch. Great atmosphere, chairs to hang both inside and out. The daily specials are honestly pretty sweet. Tons of excuses to come back on a regular. Also, glad they are taking card now. Happy to pay a little extra as I don’t always have cash. Love this spot. – Judy C.

PJI have never had a Rosie’s sandwich. So why write a testimonial? Because I see these gorgeous sandwiches from my old hometown of Chicago… and can taste their deliciousness even from here in New York. And I can tell you that I go to my local sandwich places here with a Rosie’s menu printed out and try to have the guys recreate the food. And they just cannot do it!

Look out Freddy (the owner) – I’m coming. And I am going to try everything on your menu!! – PJ (NYC)

AnonymousI ordered the Couch, which is a meatball sandwich. It wasn’t the sloppy mess I usually get.
This sandwich was a work of art. I almost hated to eat it.
Almost. Great sandwich. Heavy on the meat. Will order the rest of the menu soon! – Anonymous

This is the best deli sandwich I’ve had in a long long time. Generous amount of meat, the best bang for your buck no doubt in Logan. Extremely friendly staff greeted me like family the moment I walked in. We need more “Mom and Pop” places like this! Will be back again! – Andrew K.
Kelly B.Finally made it out here and every bite was DELICIOUS. I was transported back to Brooklyn, but better. Well done! I wish I would have gotten the lady’s name behind the counter – she’s an absolute sweetheart. Felt right at home. – Evelyn C.

Great sandwiches the meatball is awesome so is the beef. – Larry R.                                                                                                                                                                                     

Dave W.

Really loved the eggplant parm from Rosie’s. Perfectly fried eggplant in a delicious marinara sauce in a soft roll. I am a snob when it comes to my eggplant parm. And this one hit the spot! And I absolutely love that Rosie’s was one of the first Sicilian bakeries in Chicago to do muffuletta sandwiches like they do in the old country, and which New Orleans became famous for. They know what they are doing, and they are doing it right across the board. A real hidden gem in Logan Square. – Heaven M.

Dave W.

Had the Chicago beef sub. Glad we stopped in for a quick bite. Thanks for the delicious food and friendly service! – Karl L.

Dave W.

Had an Italian beef with meatball, marinara, and giardiniera. This sandwich was EPIC! – Bob G.
Kelly B.This place is AMAZING! Freddy delivered food to us in about 30 minutes to save my starving staff during a long day…the food was top-notch, the ordering process was simplistic, and the food was delicious – from the specialized chips from Michigan, to the delicious perfectly cut sandwiches all topped off with Spumoni ice cream!!!! We will be frequent fliers here from here on out!!!! – Kelly B.

Dave W.

Amazing sandwich spot coming from a big sandwich fan. The bread, the meat, the toppings, everything was good 10/10 would recommend. – Dave W.

Amy B.

Great spot for quality sandwiches.
Bread is unbelievable and the Italian had great quality meats. I’ll be back soon! – Amy B.
Matthew B.Best sandwich shop around! I had the Triple P (Prosciutto, Roasted Red Peppers & Provolone) and it was delicious! Also met the family that runs the place and they were great people.
Daniel D.

Judy C.

Awesome place! The owner is always super nice and the food hits the spot.
If you’re in the area, definitely give it a try! – Judy C.

The sandwiches are much more than generous. Because I don’t eat meat I always get the veggie sub. You get a HUGE SANDWICH, and it’s a custom, carefully handcrafted piece of real food wrapped in a paper that will barely contain its spillover as you eat it (some of them are a little messy to eat in a medieval-food-orgyish kind of way).

Matthew B.I Was in the area , and i randomly found this place thru google maps.
I decided to Order the muffuletta sandwich , and i initially thought they accidentally gave me a double order

yup i was wrong ,that sandwich is that huge . The Owner Freddy said id probably finish it in one sitting because of how good it is . I had my doubts till it was gone haha . Good sandwich man , ill be back for sure – Bear Grillz

Matthew B.GO TO ROSIES SIDEKICK! The food was fresh, packed with flavor, and made with high-quality ingredients. The Italian Deluxe, Muffuletta, chicken parmesan, Flying Saucer, and pistachio cannoli were all outstanding. Freddie and his staff were super welcoming and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend checking this place out! – Issac J.
Matthew B.This is a great little spot to grab a meal. They know how to make a sandwich, proper chewy bread, the right cuts of Italian meat, perfect toppings. Awesome veggie options and even make great keto bowls. The menu is quite large for a sandwich shop, they even had about 5 different soups available at lunch. Customer service is where this local gem really shines. The entire staff goes out of their way to get you everything exactly the way you want it. It’s apparent that they understand what customer service means. Although the layout of the seating and shop location is unconventional, the vibe is right and everything is hitting on all cylinders. Kudos to a well run sandwich shop, was a treat to visit! – Luke J.
Matthew B.Worked with Fred on a catering order for a graduation party. He made it an amazing experience and was delightful to work with. Was able to place the order just a few days before and still get everything delivered. We got an assortment of deli sandwiches and Italian beef. Deli sandwiches were great and the beef was one of the best I’ve had in Chicago. Would recommend both for catering or just simply stopping by for a sandwich. – Matthew B.
Rosie's Italian Sub

Pam A.

If you haven’t been to Rosie’s Sidekick, you’re missing out! It’s a small shop with big flavors and sandwiches. Another review said the meat was skimpy – no way! Sandwiches are big and delicious. You HAVE to try the Muffuletta, Italian beef and Meatball sandwiches. Beef and meatballs are homemade – SO good. The Italian is great too! Yum!

Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options – Veggie sandwich, pizza bread (you pick your toppings), eggplant parm and soup. It’s not vegetarian, but they have an Italian tuna sub too if you’re just trying to avoid meat. – Pam A.

Todd R.Had the veggie sandwich the other day…freaking delicious… Not too salty or oily Just perfect and healthy…. Puts the big chains to shame. – Todd R.

A good Italian sandwich is a thing of beauty. The Italian Deluxe sandwich at Rosie’s Sidekick was exceptional! The sandwich was outstanding and the manager, Frank, was super friendly and makes you feel right at home.

Please let Freddy know that he was absolutely right…no left overs – everything went so quick! The team really enjoyed the sandwiches and the cookies! Thank you for your catering our team at short notice! We will be sure to order again soon! 😊

Best,

Dave W.I happened to be delivering an order to this corporate building and as I walked in the entrance the smell of this sandwich shop stopped me in my tracks it was so good! I had to try it. I got The Sicilian and my expectations were blown away. I had no idea what Muffuletta was, the cashier was nothing but helpful and kind to answer any questions I had. This place is way better than any sandwich place near or far (definitely better than Potbelly or Subway). Must try the cannolis 🔥10/10 will recommend to every person I know!
Andrew G.

Matthew B.

Got the Sicilian muffaletto and it was phenomenal. The place is hidden away in an office building but definitely worth going to find it. The manager was really friendly and helped me with good recommendations. Will def go again

We ordered sub sandwiches for my wedding this past weekend!! Each sandwich was carefully assembled, elevating the humble sub sandwich to a gourmet experience. I can’t wait to go back!!!
