Branko's Submarines

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.

If you're in need of a quick bite that won't drain your wallet in Chicago, Branko's is the place to go. I've only been a few times, but the service has been immaculate. Nenad never fails to make his customers feel at home with a friendly smile and great conversation, and he won't shy away from giving his recommendation if you're unsure of what to get. Being situated right across from DePaul puts Branko's in a great place to be a spot for hungry students to gather and get some delicious Chicago-style food. I work nearby and whenever anyone comes into my store and asks for a recommendation, I ALWAYS send them Branko's way.

It's a cozy family-owned sandwich spot with a super fun younger guy running the whole show for the past couple months (early 2023) The food is good for the price (affordable for the area) but can be a bit on the slow side so be prepared for that. I've tried burgers and beefs and both were a solid 4/5. The fries were tasty as well. Hope he gets some help soon and the menu can expand a bit more.
