I have seen this place for years but I never thought about walking in and taking a look at their menu because it just seemed like a hole in the wall...so why bother!!! Well boy o boy I was wrong...you know the saying don't judge a book by its cover, well I should have listened. The place was clean and had a pleasant smell in the air and that doesn't happen often when you go into some of these greasy spoons. This is also a CASH ONLY restaurant so leave your credit and debit cards at home because your plastic won't work there. They are open 24 hours a day and had a steady of people coming into the restaurant but they still seem to keep up with the orders...That's a plus in my mind! They had a variety of Choices from Breakfast to Dinner and everything in between. Breakfast is served 6am to 6pm at very low prices. I don't know to many places where you can get an omelet for under 6 dollars and it still comes with hash browns. I will most definitely come back and try it out! The young lady behind the counter that took the order was smiling the entire time...another Plus in my book. I had the Jim Shoe sandwich which is jammed packed with meat(gyro, Italian beef and corn beef) it also had lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, sweet peppers, mayo and gyro sauce and cheese. Yes it is a heart attract on a bun but I enjoyed every bite and it's not like I am going to eat it everyday...lol It was a moment of splurging!!! The price was pretty reasonable as well...I want to say about $7.81 and it came with fries and a pop!!! I have to say too that I loved the mild sauce on my fries it didn't have that funny after taste that some places have when you get the mild sauce. This place is a hidden gem that I was looking at for years but never took the time to explore...Everything was fresh and truly changed what I use to think of this place. If my next visit is as good as this one...They will have a loyal customer for life. So if you are in that neck of the woods and you don't want to break your budget on buying something to eat and you want something good and fresh you have to stop at Stony Sub...I don't think you will be disappointed...I know I wasn't!!! Enjoy!!!

After having a conversation with a coworker about the Jim shoe and what it is and how it's made, and it's origins I decided to try it. And why not go to the place where everyone says it's best. So even though I don't live anywhere near this particular restaurant I took the journey here to try this sandwich I hear so much about. And I made an excellent choice. Upon entering this restaurant I'm greeted by a friendly woman, who took the time to actually talk a bit with me before taking my order. And never got irritated at my many questions, which I had quite a few. She even gave suggestions on what is good as well as what not to bother with. Which I think was refreshing because most times they just ring you up for whatever you ask for, knowing once you receive it you won't be satisfied. After a short wait she let me know my order was ready. I took my order and left, eating my fries as I traveled to my destination. I consider myself a french fries conosuer, and these did not disappoint. And as one other reviewer stated their mild sauce tasted just right. Once I reached my location I opened my sandwich ready to take a bite, let me tell you this sandwich I very large, and they don't skimp on the meat either. It comes with roast beef, gyro meat, and corned beef, topped with lettuce, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, mayo, tzaziki sauce, and cheese. I skipped the mayo and sweet peppers, and got everything else. I am not sure who thought to put this combination of meats together, nor why they work so well together. But I am glad that I did try, if your wondering if you should try it, I say go for it.

OK...I went to Stony Sub.. The service was quite good. The young lady was kind & helpful. Let me first say that I was raised in Philly. The Gym/Jim Shoe is only a Steak Hoagie with Sweet Peppers. That's what I had...with Fries It was "A'ight" I've had better. Honestly, I enjoyed my steaks at Montis', AND Phillys BEST much more. I had a Pop/Soda.. Not much to report, just a good sandwich with above average. I had a "Gyro" Puff as well. It's a Pizza puff with Gyro meat, as a filling. It was also "A'ight". I was disappointed because it was my first time trying this. I've had a Pizza puff B4. So the food was OK.. The service was "above" average. That's my honest critique.

Jim/Gym Shoe is the best! I love tzatziki (white cucumber gyro) sauce, so I always pay for extra on the side. I also add feta cheese once I get it home (they do not have any). It sets the sandwich off the chain for me!

I've been coming to stony sub for many years. I was around when they had a location on 87th. I love everything about their establishment except they don't take credit cards...but I understand. The food is ALWAYS where it should be. Jim shoe, chicken wings and tacos....my top favs.

Love that they are open 24 hours!! They take cash only and they are newly remodeled!!! The Italian beef sandwiches are so good and a huge portion! They come with fries and a drink as well. Another good thing is that they have mild sauce and they aren't stingy with it like most places !!!

Get the gym shoe, thats all I can say. Make sure you just get a regular though, if you have a big appetite, get the king. I feel like now that I know about this south side gem, soon everyone will and they will be coming in mass droves all of a sudden. Really great. Very greasy. Plan to feel great after. I never went in the place, but we got some gym shoes to go, amazing.

Great food, great service! The gym shoe was amazing.

Stopped in to get an Italian beef. The meat was nice and tender and the service was quick. I thought the prices were a little bit on the high side, but I guess thats because they are open 24 hours. The mild sauce was nice and tangy. I recommend you check it out.

I have been coming here for years but stopped when the gyro meat fell off hard. it took a girl from hs to post their super steak taco on Instagram. It looked so good I had to get one. I was not disappointed. I also had to try the gym shoe/Jim shoe (corned beef, gyro meat, roast beef, hot & mild peppers, cheese, tomato) it was good too. Mild sauce on the fries. Open 24 hours. If you don't want to wait...phone first. Cash only..fyi

Great in the hood spot. Been eating here since the early 90s. The Italian beef has went down. The gyro is alright. But the Philly steak is a banger. A lot of people like the gym shoe, it not for me. That's too much going on for one sandwich for me. Like the gyro burger. Either I'm gonna get a gyro or a burger...they also give you fries and pop with most meals. The mild sauce is good, considering I don't like mild sauce.

Good food. You gotta love true Southside grease from time to time. They got it all, from breakfast to midnight munchies

There's only one real reason to come to Stony Sub, and that's the Jim Shoe Sandwich. I, too, had heard whispering of this audacious sandwich, which dared to challenge the limitations of Chicago sandwichness as we know it. But sadly, for too long I wimped out; always saying it was "too far" or the merit of such a trip being "too unknown." Well friends. I am proud to state that I DID make that triumphant march to Stony Sub, and yes: the legends that have spake the name JIM SHOE are true! The sandwich is a meat-lovers dream, with enough giardinera peppers to satisfy heat seekers and gives each bite a satisfactory crunch. The bread--I'm guessing a Turano italian?--is good in that it helps soak up the juices but doesn't fight the flavor of your meat party. TIPS: there is no parking here, so you have to do street. Also, at night you have some guys trying to sell bootleg DVDs--pay them no mind and don't let them keep you from enjoying your Chicago legendary sub. OH! And you're going to want to do takeout here, as there just a couple of chairs and no tables.

Not for the faint of heart. The meat options are par-for-the-course but the team at Stony Sub has taken hot sandwiches to the next frontier. I am of course referring to the enigmatic gym-shoe. I rode my bike 17 miles, in the rain, just to eat this mythical meat-pile. Also know there wasn't a good place to really lock up my bike. But now to the sandwich. The legends are true, folks. My flavor buds exploded in exaltation within the first bite. The flavors swim together rhythmically like Louis Armstrong headed into a crescendo. I ate the entire king size sandwich. That's right, will you accept that challenge? Also, I want to mention that everyone in he restaurant was friendly and eager to chat about Southside attractions. Be prepared to make a mess eating your gym-shoe because there are no tables at Stony's. Also, they offer an array of fry flavoring which I haven't seen done before, so kudos for going the extra mile, Stony's.

Best hood stop out south, hands down! Service on point always. Food on point, always! My fiance and I have been going here for about 5 years now and love it, especially when we want some shoestring fries with mild sauce, salt and pepper on them. The woman who takes the orders always remembers our order and other returning customers, hell the cooks do too. Its just a quality hood joint! Open 24 with breakfast til 6pm!!!!!!!!!

The 'gym shoe' sandwich is quite possibly the best sub I've ever had. The sweet peppers and mayo add a tangy surprise to this heavyweight, meat-filled delight. The 12 Incher can easily feed a family of 4 for a month (added for effect), The place itself is a tiny yellow shack with the cashier behind what looks like bullet resistant glass. But since I've been taught not to judge a book by its Amazon reviews, I decided to jump in anyway, and needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. 5 stars for this institution.
