This place has been the best sandwich shop in Spfld. Since they opened with one shop. Plus they deliver! DO NOT miss the sweet-bread. Some of the nicest people you could want to make your food and,... wait for it.... they deliver Ben & Jerry's too!! Can't get any better here in Springpatch.

Their motto is "If you want a great sub, you gotta Head West" and they aren't kidding. The subs are MASSIVE and reasonably priced. They have a pretty big variety of meat and toppings options. You can have the subs hot or cold. I highly recommend the sweet bread; it makes the sandwich. A word of advice: they have limited... More

I like their food and thought at first maybe it was just everyone at the Jefferson store were having a bad day, but third time is not a charm. Dark never smiles sandwich maker acts like he is doing heart surgery, obviously despises his job and his co-workers. Finished up a sandwich order for me and I had specified cold... More

Firstly, you HAVE to get sweet bread and the basics (give or take a few) or it isn't a Head West sandwhich. The service is okay; they are always busy and more concentrated on making your sub than talking to you. They are a little more expensive for a sandwhich ($8-10) but it's worth it! If you've never been, you... More

Not only do you get a great sandwich, the ambiance at any of the seven locations is so much fun! They are doing something right and it is yummy! I have a favorite but I'm sure the one you pick or customize will fill you up with a smile!

If you like people who put meat on their subs, this is the place for you. Seriously no other sub shop matches up. So good I really won't do it justice by describing it, just skip the subway this time and go to HEADWEST it is so much better and just as fast and has more hippies.

Enormous amounts of meat, cheese, vegies on every sub. The bread is amazing. I will never go to Subway again.

Head West is about five minutes from the office. I like the Subs. The bread is wonderful, the servers are fun and energetic. The brownies are incredible. I stopped eating there because I enjoyed the food too much. I had to shed the sub. pounds.

It took 1 1/2 hours to get 6 subs. The food was INEDIBLE. Most disgusting lunch I ever didn't eat. DON"T GO HERE!!! They get one star because there is no option for zero stars.

Sandwhiches are good enough, great bread. Horrible service and long wait time in store. None of the employees seem to hustle. Delivery takes over an hour.
