Alpine Food Shop Review

One of the last of a dying breed of Italian delis. Great subs, made fresh to order. They also have a good assortment of jarred peppers and other relishes.

Best subs ever.... Great selection of imported food.... I love Alpine

I only give 2 stars because of the service, fast and friendly. As far as all of the reviews saying best sub sandwich around, are you nuts? Have you only tried this place? There is a couple slices of meat on the skimpy sandwich, you have to order double meat to compare it in size to other places. It's really nothing special flavor wise either. I would recommend all people who 5 star this place try Capri on North Ave, Frank's Deli on Lake Street, Rex's in Norridge, Al& Joe's in Franklin Park just to name a few. All have a much better sub.

I just love this place the workers are pleasant !! They work at great pace ,clean environment and might i add there food is fresh and delicious !!!

Old school Italian grocery store and deli! Sandwiches and subs, several to choose from, are made fresh while you wait. Call ahead to avoid the lunch time rush. The owners and staff are very nice and you are usually greeted with a "hello" as soon as you enter the store. This has been, and is, my goto deli for nearly three decades and I still visit several times a month.

The Alpine sub is the best Italian sub you'll ever have!

Its all about the oil and the fresh bread..this place has been excellent for 40 years..unlike johnnys whose quality and quantity have taken a nose dive..get the alpine ..you can not go wrong

Every review is consistent with praises of the food quality and it is certainly deserved. This review is to acknowledge their expertise in navigating a business during a pandemic. They have safety systems in place that are easy to abide. They are staffed sufficiently to expedite the service so they brief wait is nullified by how quickly they get you in and out. Most importantly is the smile on everyones faces. The great thing about their smiles are that even though you can't see them through their masks, you know that they are there. A smile is in a tone of voice or in someones eyes. You absolutely know when someone is smiling by the way they treat you and the people around you. Alpine has it down to a science. Alpine is an example of a business that will survive this global disaster. They are part of the solution. I hope you support them. Thank you, Alpine.

Great food but they don't put enough mayonnaise on my sandwich when I ask for extra.

Great service, unique flavor. And reasonable prices. I tried the sandwiches and they are great. But they also have some hidden surprises there, like some cookies that are awesome.

Excellent fresh sandwiches and salads. Never disappointed! Call ahead for quicker service. Love the corn beef. I buy by da lbs.

Best sandwiches around and very nice people. Love this place

The best place in the neighborhood to get a quality Italian sub. Just great!

Amazing sandwiches and amazing staff. Best Italian sub in the neighborhood. 5 out of 5 Great job.

Quality food, fast friendly service, decent price for the portion size, only complaint is that it can get very busy but that is a good thing for them

Fast service with fair prices and delicious sandwiches. Would most definitely eat here again.

We have been looking for a place that makes a great Italian Sub since Aldo's on Grand Avenue closed many years ago.

Went here to try out their Alpine Sub because I read a review online that gave it high praise.

I was impressed with the speed and efficiency of the preparation of the employees, but, the Sub did not live up to the hype. The sandwich was small and did not have all of the meat that I expect on an Italian Sub.

I found the sandwich just okay.

Best sandwiches I've ever had. I love the corned beef and always grab an Italian ice while I'm there.

Good place for grocery shopping especially fruit and vegetables. Not overly large. It's a combination of a major grocery store with the convenience of a neighborhood store.

Yum, submarine sandwiches, double yum potato salad, and did I say yum on the sandwiches??? My girlfriend used to drive them out to her daughter and later two sons in college (in Indiana)!

Excellent food, beef sandwich the best!! We will be regulars. Your staff show their personalities, are positive and helpful, without rushing the customers. Training and leadership by the owners shows.

Great sandwiches and deli. Try the potato salad. The food speaks for itself

Very delicious sandwiches. Great service and fresh bread.

Great selection, always fresh quality food. They have a variety of options for everyone. Best grocery store I ve ever been to. Prices are reasonable nothing is over priced. I like going here often.

Friendly and helpful staff, great food and sub sandwiches!

Always hits the spot, always fresh and fantastico! Recommend their house special "The Alpine", superb. Been going there for many years and never had a bad sandwich. Greeted with a smile when you walk in the door. Try a plate of the handmade cookies. They are quite special. They don't last a day in my house!

They are one of the best subs you'll find in Chicago. Nothing more to say than that. Need to add to my review stop that Alpine today after almost a 20 hour work shift I placed the phone order for 3 subs and some other items on my way home I noticed I was missing one I called back the woman who answered the phone was more than polite expressed her sincere apologies because the sandwiches were wrapped I can only identify one of them should remember my order remade the two additional sandwiches at no charge. Above and beyond great customer service I feel I needed to share this with you as I will with other friends and family members all the more reason to try Alpine

Like nothing else in town. Go to alpine and order an alpine.

I've been getting subs here for 10+ years and it's never let me down. Delicious sub sandwiches and very friendly staff. I highly recommend the signature Alpine sub. Price is also very affordable for what you get. This is definitely a staple in the area that you need to check out.

The best sandwiches around!! Sliced fresh and made while you wait. Go, NOW!!!

Amazing sandwiches! Best I have had in Illinois yet!

Great subs....plenty of sides to bring home....lots of Italian specialty items.

The best sub place in Chicago and Western northern Southern Eastern suburbs bar none!

I have been going since 1971

Fresh ingredients just a little skimpy on the meat.

This is the first shop that my Italian relatives ask to go to when they arrive in town. Awesome subs, and wonderful sausage. Get the "Alpine" with everything.

Great Sub sandwich and great selection of Italian import canned tomatoes and sausage

Always fresh, always great, inexpensive and delicious. Great,friendly staff. Wish they were open LATE

I go there at least two times a week they have great produce, sausage, and cheese, good prices l have shopped there for many years from the old place to the new place nice people work there and very friendly

This is the quintessential sub shop in EP. They use the best bread on the market, Gonnella, and the perfect amount of meat and cheese. Get a lb. of their potato salad as well and you have the lunch we grew up on.

Food was ok (corned beef sandwich) staff wasn t really friendly felt as if I was being rushed to leave

This is the best sandwiches ever. The Italian foods are amazing as well as the employees!!!

The place for high quality subs. This place is always busy because the food is excellent. You can avoid the wait by calling ahead. Parking can be a little challenging. We usually go through the alley and park on the East side of the restaurant. Staff are friendly and very efficient.

Very rude phone service. I tried to call to place an order for potato salad, and I understand that i called at 1:50 on a Sunday when they close at 2pm. However, I was 1 block away from the establishment. The woman who answered the phone seemed annoyed that i was trying to place an order so close to their closing time. Last time I checked though, there is a pandemic going on, and thousands of restaurants are closing because of it so wouldnt you take any and all orders you can? Then when I told her that I was down the street and that all I wanted was potato salad she went on to say that they didnt have any. However, a friend of mine was in there not even 10 minutes before I called, and he said that they had plenty. Not a good look to lie to a customer. I will no longer be going to Alpine. Very disappointed.

Maybe it's the bread. Possibly because the prosciutto is so fresh and thinly sliced. It has to be something that keeps me coming back after two decades and millions of other sub/hero/hoagie/grinder/etc. Alpine is delicious and subjectively speaking and couched in objectivity - Alpine has the best sandwiches.

Family owned and food taste like it! Great service, delicious pasta and potatoes salad.

Stocked well enough to qualify as an Italian grocery, but the subs are the main event. Made to order, and great. The veggie sub is particularly outstanding: grilled eggplant and zucchini, cheese and a full complement of raw vegetables.

Great deli sandwiches. The Alpine sandwich is my favirite

Wonderful Sub Sandwiches Freshly Made Every Day Scrumptious Taste

Love the turkey sub with their oil mix and mayo. YUM!! Add a side of that fabulous potato salad and life doesn't get much better! It's the best~

The best Italian-style sub money can buy--and it doesn't take much money, either. Order "the Alpine" ASAP! The vegetarian sub is good for vegetarians, though I assume the delicious imported cheese contains renit. This place is SO good.

Only downside is the atmosphere is well like you'd expect an Italian grocery to be. Get it to go or eat outside if it's nice out.

Great "old school" Italian deli that I've been coming to since I was kid...best sub sandwich on the planet by far! Don't forget to add their speciality "home made" giardiniera to take your sandwich to the next level! :-)

I love this store! Great produce and very friendly cashiers. Great prices and discounts!!
