Windy City Subs
About This Spot
Stepping into Windy City Subs on South Harlem Avenue feels like discovering a quietly comforting corner of Worth, Illinois, where time slows just enough to savor a genuine, unpretentious fast-food experience. The natural light fills the spotless dining area, casting a calm, welcoming glow that invites you to settle in and breathe. Unlike many takeout spots, this deli manages to offer a rare blend of cleanliness and peace, creating a setting where the hum of friendly service and the subtle aroma of freshly grilled sandwiches form the backdrop of a welcomed pause in the day.
The pace here is unhurried and thoughtful, a reflection of food made to order with care rather than rushed convenience. Whether you're winding down after a long day or grabbing a late-night bite, there’s something reassuring in the steady rhythm of the kitchen and the warm smiles behind the counter.
The menu at Windy City Subs is a treasure trove of Midwest comfort, infused with a touch of Chicago charm that makes each visit feel like a small local celebration. Imagine the crispness of a Chicago-style hot dog, its toppings piled with familiar care, or the irresistible pull of butter and garlic fries, golden and perfectly seasoned, each bite a little moment of indulgence. The gyros plate, brimming with savory meat and accompanied by fries and fresh fixings, offers a satisfying option for those craving something more substantial, while lighter fare like grilled chicken on pita or the classic Reuben invite a slower, more thoughtful enjoyment.
There’s a warmth that comes not just from the food but from the people who have become the heart of this place over the years—faces and voices that bring continuity and comfort, no matter the hour. Open late into the night, Windy City Subs becomes a kind of small-town refuge for night owls and early risers hungry for honest American-style classics with a genuine touch of Midwestern spirit.

Wow. I am so happy I finally made my way to Windy City after driving by it on my commute for many years. Basically, I wanted a gyro, and I wanted to dine in. This place is so clean, it’s gleaming, and the sunlight just pours in. I don’t know of a fast food place with a dining room this nice. Not a single crumb in sight. Really. It was so peaceful too; the energy was just right. Ok. The food. Amazing. I don’t eat fast food often, so when I do I want it to be worth it. My meal was made to order, and it came out so hot and fresh. I enjoyed every bite. All the while, the staff was working together nonstop. Never a moment of nothing for them. Whether they were cooking, cleaning, stocking, they were moving the entire time. They were so pleasant and happy. Makes me think they like working there. Most establishments are short staffed. Not here! Thank you for a GREAT dinner. Thank you for your hospitality. Can’t wait to do it again.

I've been here an array of times throughout the last several years and the food here is great. One of my most favorite things to get here is the gyro plate. The same staff have been working here for years and are always very kind and courteous!! The shakes and Malts are really good too. They have late night drive thru here until 2am.

Delicious. Affordable. Open until 0200. What more could you ask for? The butter garlic fries are addictive, fair warning. The service can be a little slow but that’s only because the food is cooked to order and there is typically a line in the drive thru. Pictured: double cheeseburger, butter garlic fries, grilled chicken on pita. 10/10 recommend strongly for that greasy food fix.

The food is tasty but I was shocked by the quantity of meat in my gyros plate. It was just a gyros sandwich in a container with fries and fixings. Everywhere else I get a gyros plate it has enough meat for 2 or 3 sandwiches.the subs seemed to be lacking meat as well. Again first time getting it there and was just surprised.

When we lived in Palos Hills, we used to go to Windy City Subs very often. Probably once a week and it has always been a treat. Prices are reasonable and everything tastes pretty great. Today I shared a Reuben sandwich with an order or butter garlic fries with the hubby and it was absolutely fantastic! Nice and hot and crispy. Will continue to visit this place if I'm ever in the area. One of the things that makes me a bit sad now that I've moved. Continue the great service, cute and clean restaurant and delicious food!
