I had never been to one of these shops,when all of a sudden I remembered I moved here 40 years ago!
It was time.
First off I love pastrami and asked the girl if they had any sandwiches with it. Right away I thought what did I say to get her to have such an attitude with me. It was if I said something in poor taste about her dreadlocks...
It went downhill from there.
Several times I asked questions and she ignored me. And I made it clear it was my first time there at the Toronto Rd location, or any Head West.
Enough about her. The sandwich. One clear thought came through loud and clear- I wish I had bought a bigger sandwich (#4) as it was absolutely delicious. From the fantastic bread to the contents. It almost rivals the famous Robyn at Boobies in Carbondale.
Anyway, I'll be back, just not until she has an attitude adjustment.
PS. That bread...
Read moreI am not local to Springfield but have been eating at HeadWest Subs for almost 20 years. I prefer to support locally owned, small businesses vs large chains when I can, and these guys make it easy to earn my repeat business When I drive i55 between St Louis and Chicago, Headwest Subs on Toronto Rd on the south side of Springfield is a must stop. The sandwiches are great, truly above average, the sweet bread is to die for, it's close to a fuel station, and it's super easy to get on and off i55 at their exit. They have some vegetarian/meet free options that my wife enjoys. There is a Subway about 100 feet away, I am beyond perplexed as to how Headwest hasn't put them out of business - the sandwich quality at Headwest is just so...
Read moreGreat food, superb service and I love the staff. They are down to earth very accommodating and super friendly. The store was clean and the restroom was clean as well...I ordered the vegan turkey vegan ham provolone cheese on sweet bread toasted. My daughter's sub was finished before we made it home🤣🤣🤣 definitely a winner in her book. We'll return to this location for sure much better experience than the Jefferson street location. We've been eating their food for years it would be shameful to stop due to one bad apple. So for future reference if headwest is on your mind for a quick bite avoid the Jefferson street location...
