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

All the employees are very pleasant and make sure to greet you when you walk in no matter how busy they are. I eat here about 4-5 times a month. I have tried about a dozen subs and they have all been exceptional. So glad that the new McAllister's that went up right in front of it didn't put them out of business. Please support your local family owned businesses. read less

This is one of our favorites for lunch. Always greeting cheerfully, there's the smell of fresh bread when you walk in. A great menu, something for everyone and their beef is so good. Did I mention the bread, it's soft and chewy, not too hard of a crust and when it's toasted it's just yumm.

I haven't tried too many different subs but plan to in the future. We really like eating in as compare to take out and it's always a good experience. read less

This place makes subway look horrible. Everything here is actually fresh. Two sizes small and regular. I should have gotten two smalls but that was my fault. I got the #6 with chipolte mayo. It was fantastic you can taste how fresh the bread is. They also have green river!!! Which is amazing and hard to find like red cream soda in other establishments read less

Their version of italian beef is better than Portillos and Johnnie Beefs.
