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

The bread is excellent and when they make a sub it is massive. I love the quality ingredients and their service is fast. I have eaten here 4-5 times and I cannot find one time where I wasn't happy. read less

If nothing else, the giardiniera will keep me coming back. The best I've ever had!

My gf and I recently moved here from the city and found them because we were at Home Depot. Starving and leaving the parking lot, I saw the store front and decided to try it out. So happy we did! Great service and the guy explained to us that the large would be good enough for the both of us. But me being me, I decided to get one large sandwich for each of us. He was right, we only ate 1 half of each sandwich. It was very very gooooood. As I'm writing this review hours later, I'm eating my other half . Fresh product and great service. Definitely making this my go to place for subs! Thanks. read less

Yet the staff makes up for any short fall of the location. Food is fresh and delicious.  Feel like a sub?? Skip the chains and try this place. It was a good sandwich and priced well.  The regular was priced at $6.99.  Lots of flavor. 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 highly recommend their #10 as it's the run-of-the-mill Italian style cold sub that does the trick.

They make their own giardinera and it's phenomenal!  Not too spicy and just the right amount of heat to flavor combination.

Good chip selection with kettle cooked chips!

I'd recommend this place to all those in the Algonquin area. 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
