Head West Sub Stop

Head West Sub Stop is a neighborhood sandwich shop tucked into the heart of Southern View, Illinois, at 3325 South 6th Street. Since opening, the family‑run eatery has become a go‑to spot for locals craving freshly baked sub rolls loaded with premium deli meats, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and house‑made sauces. Signature creations include the West Coast Turkey Club, a layered turkey, smoked bacon, avocado, and chipotle mayo on a toasted multigrain roll, and the Classic Italian, featuring salami, pepperoni, provolone, and a tangy vinaigrette. Chef Mike Thompson, a former line cook at a downtown Chicago deli, oversees the kitchen and insists on sourcing the bread from a local bakery that delivers daily. The interior blends retro neon signage with reclaimed wood tables, creating a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere where patrons can enjoy free Wi‑Fi and a playlist of classic rock hits. Head West Sub Stop also offers a robust catering menu for office lunches, birthday parties, and community events, with bulk sub trays, side salads, and dessert cookies. Delivery is available through their own fleet and major platforms, ensuring hot subs arrive within 30 minutes to the surrounding neighborhoods of Southern View, Springfield, and nearby towns.
