Staff is amazing and really friendly!

Personally, I prefer the Godfather, Firebird, and Three Amigos.  I have yet to be disappointed. read less

Both could use a little more meat for the price, but we will go back. read less

The bread is fresh and so is the deli. They're not greedy they really stuff your sandwich with whatever you want. And the large is way bigger than you can imagine. I ordered a large since I usually get a large at subway and it was way bigger. I took the other half home. Definitely recommend! read less

I would come back

I had to add to my review along with adding he 5th Star.

The samwich was the best I've had of an Italian. The meats were a great combination but the ingredients were exceptionally fresh. The tomato which is always subpar on sub sandwiches was fresh and juicy. The bread had a perfect blend of softness but didn't fall apart from the juices inside of the tomato, garidinera, and vinegar and oil mixture.

In fact my bag of chips were hardly touched!

A definite stop when in the area read less

I really appreciate the passion they put into their subs. We went to McAllisters and it sucked! No personal attention. The service was as good as the screwed up orders at McDonalds so we will NOT go back to McAllisters and we will definitely be frequenting Bubs Subs from now on.

The home made bread, fresh sliced meats and cheeses, you can't go wrong! read less

I was debating between ordering beef or turkey and am SO happy I tried the beef. #1 El Niño is my new favorite! I ordered a mini, dipped, with easy hot sauce and easy jardiniere but next time I will order a larger sandwich and tell them to load it up. 3 hours later and my mouth is still watering from how tasty my sandwich was! read less

I ordered one El Nino sandwich, and it was fantastic. The girl taking my order was friendly and helpful, as it had been a while (maybe 2-3 years) since I analyzed their menu. I believe that, at one time or another, I tried every sandwich I'd consider ordering, so just went back for the classic.

The sandwich? First, tasty beef! Second, fresh made bread. Third, 'home made' giardiniera, which is probably one of the best I've had!

So, a good crew serving good food in a clean restaurant. Winner! read less

She liked the sub and said the bread was great. I had the cheesy beef with the homemade giardiniera.  It was very good.  The bread was soft and fresh.  The giardiniera was full of fresh vegetables and very spicy.  I'm used to the giardiniera you get in a jar at the grocery store.  Bubs Subs giardiniera put the stuff in the jar to shame.  It was absolutely delicious.  

The staff was friendly and helpful.  They knew we hadn't been there before,  and they were very happy to explain the sandwich sizes.  Our total bill was a little over $21.00.  Not bad for two subs, a bag of chips and two drinks.  If you go,  and you should go, keep your eyes peeled as you get close to the shop.  It's kind of hidden behind a  McCallister's Deli and in front of a Home Depot.

We'll definitely be back.  They sell their giardiniera too.  $8.99 a pint.  Some of that might be coming home with us on our next visit. read less
