Bob's Sub Shop has served four generations of my family since 1979 when we moved to Clarion. We only lived there three years, and in all that time since, we never pass Clarion on I-80 without stopping in for a sub from Bob's. Though not at its original location, it's still as classic as ever, a throwback atmosphere that delights. This is an ideal lunch stop if you're roadtripping West from The City. Load up and pick up top quality subs for your journey. Friendly people here both serving and dining, perfect for travelers. read more

Bobs subs still delivers the goods. Consistency over time, great service, quality meats and cheeses. The bread - I think it's Cellone's - is great. Stopped for lunch wondering how they are- and they are still great. read more

The subs are fantastic! One of the Hometown favorites. It's been in Clarion for years. A staple in our town.

Small town sub shop that has great food! I got a pastrami sub and a steak and cheese, great food, customer service, not so great parking in Clarion Park but not a fault to the owners. read more

The food is very good! Amazing service. And clean Inside. I do recommend! Very good place for lunch.

These subs never disappoint! Very tasty. I'm not sure what they do different than other places, but these sandwiches just stand out from the rest. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try, you might become a life long fan like me. read more

Always delicious family favorite!! Bob's Subs is one of the first places my out of state family and friends go to when they are in town. The service is fast and friendly. The new location has more seating and is comfortable. There is free parking in the back. read more

Have been here a few times before . Enjoyed Turkey junior sub for lunch . Bread soft and ingredients fresh. Workers didn't put mayo or other dressing as requested . Clarion legacy ( thought I'm partial to Slippery Rock Bob's GO ROCK!) so good and iconic ! read more

The standard by which I measure all sub sandwiches; most others, sadly, fall pathetically short. I've been frequenting Bob's for DECADES. Because my background is Bavarian and not Italian, Bob's was my first introduction to capicola and mortadella. I recommend the Super and Spicy Italian. Make sure you get a black cherry soda to wash it down. God, I love this place... read more

Bob's Sub & Sandwich Shop - Super Junior and de rigueur black cherry soda (back in the day the brand was White Rock). - Sandwiches Near Me - Clarion, Pennsylvania

My sister was on her way home from a trip and stopped and got a sub to go for each of us, which we ate at my house. She went to Clarion University and she was a regular there but I'd never had a sub from there. We both got the spicy Italian, toasted. It was really good and the ingredients were high quality. They put an Italian dressing on the lettuce and tomato side of the sub that tasted homemade or made from scratch. The bread was not over toasted. Very reasonably priced on the quantity and quality. Even though it was about 90 minutes from the time my sister got them, to when she arrived in Pittsburgh, they held up well, didn't get soggy. I'd recommend them to anyone passing by Clarion, either to eat there or get them to go. read more

Good Food, Quick, Friendly Service. Great for a m Al on the run or sit down and enjoy in store.

I have been coming here since I was about 12. It has been a staple of the area for a long time. As a kid, I was a Jr. Capicola with extra mayo. Oh, to be young again. Each sub begins with a French hoagie roll that is slow toasted through a machine, that creates the perfect crunch to the bread. Then they are layered with the toppings of choice (off the board), tomato and lettuce. You can add extras as well. The secret is the mayo and oil/vinegar mix on top. It is just wonderful. If you are passing by on I80 or in town for some reason, stop in and enjoy one of the best subs around. read more

Bob's Sub is the kind of place you should expect to find in central Pennsylvania. You will probably walk out of here ten pounds heavier, and your cholesterol levels will be unsafe. Honestly, Bob's sub deserves only two stars, but the food is always fresh which is nice. The cliental is mostly college students and locals, and the prices are better than Subway down the road. Each sub comes with a smattering of vegetables, Italian dressing, and mayo. I've enjoyed most of the subs. There are three different sizes to chose from as well. The bread is probably the best part. It's always fresh and delicious. The subs are mostly good, but when you get your sub all wrapped up in the paper, you'll notice that the mayo and dressing are coming through the paper. There is so much mayo on these subs. If you watch what you eat, try to eat healthy, etc., just ask for a little mayo. I can only eat one of the junior sized subs with full mayo. If you aren't into eating excessive fat, you will fill sick after eating one. read more

Haven't had Bob's in yearsssss! I moved away 20 years ago! Back in town for a memorial. Needed a quick bite to eat before we got back on the road. Husband has never had Bob's! Quick simple sub. Couldn't have asked for friendlier but quick service! read more

Great food! It was very tasty with very good and fast service. The place is not super luxurious, but it gets the job done.

This place has great sandwiches. Especially for Clarion, which has a horrible food selection. It's pretty hard to mess up a sandwich. Typical meats and cheese, plenty of lettuce and tomato, and the bread is delicious! Plenty of flavor, due to the mayo and italian dressing they add. Ask for that on the side if you don't want a lot. Prices aren't bad. You probably want to take it to go though. The "dining area" is not the classiest of places, but it looks clean and it does the job if you have nowhere else to eat. read more

If you come to clarion and don't get a bobs sub ... you did it wrong and you have to come back!

This place is excellent. You wouldn't expect it from its location however the subs here are made with care and of the highest quality. First of all it's about 2 miles off route 80 and an excellent Point to stop if you are driving from jersey to Michigan Now to the subs. Bread - outstanding. This is what makes the sandwich. They use these long rolls that they warm first and it is the cornerstone of the sandwich. Meats/cheese - pretty good. Not the most overstuffed sandwich by any means but enough for a sandwich Condiments - outstanding. Shredded lettuce which is solid along with a great mayo and top notch homemade dressing. I went with the Turkey/ham and it was excellent. Really enjoyed it and the service and people were very fast and friendly read more

Great subs! Eat here every time I'm in Clarion. Spicy Italian is amazing. Tina and meatball are great subs too. Best ever!!

One of my "must haves" when I am back in the area. It is not fancy. No frills here, but, if you are looking for a good hoagie (sub, hero, etc.), this should top your list. Their sandwiches are hard to beat. I think it is the bread that makes them so delicious; it is perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. I typically order the spicy Italian (cappicola, genoa, pepperoni) or Bob's Delight (cappicola, ham, turkey) and I like them both equally. I've also had the cheese steak; however, I have had better. Therefore, I stick with the cold cuts. Their mayonaise is delicious - it's extra thick and tasty. They offer three sizes (mini, junior, senior) - the senior is perfect for two adults to share. You can eat in or take out, either way they are super quick at crafting your made to order sandwich and setting you up for warm, tasty, deliciousness. read more

best sandwiches around, friendly employees. the only downside is parking. the prices are great compared to subway.

Walked in to order a couple subs since they came highly recommended. Ordered a spicy Italian and a super. Subs were good quality and had enough meat and toppings to make them worth the price. My only complaint was that the service could have been just a touch more friendly. Obviously a local joint and the demeanor of the staff changed depending on the customer. read more

I've been to Bob's countless times back in my college days. I figured since I was in town again, I'd give her another try and see if anything's changed. As it turns out, it's more or less the same! (That's a good thing, by the way.) The bread and veggies are always fresh, and the dressing reminded me of my days back in college. Also the staff were wonderful! That's the reason I don't go to franchises anymore. Always awful staff. Local businesses care who they hire. I'll be sure to return when I'm in town again! read more

Randomly good. Price are reasonable! I had roast beef sandwich, which is my favorite... Ladies are friendly... It's on Main Street so that it's easy to get to. I miss that place. read more

Really good subs. They can customize, split a sandwich and put onions on half...etc. my only complaint is I wish they had better chip selection and fountain soda. read more

What a nice establishment. No frills. Just good food. Got the junior chicken salad sandwich which was just about as good as it gets. Didn't ask for the sub bread to be toasted but glad it came that way. Made a difference. Friendly staff too. read more

I just placed an order for this Sunday pick up the lady I spoke with was very friendly and asked questions, she also is accommodating my order for a party!!! I love bobs subs! Great food and great service for very reasonably priced!!!! read more

I've had hoagies, subs, grinders, and foot longs from across the fruited planes, but I have yet to experience anything like Bob's Subs in Clarion. The subs are meaty and delicious, the buns are toasted, toppings are always fresh, and what can I say about the mayo? I think I saw the mayo coming out of a 10 gallon drum, with "industrial" in bold letters and "made in Chernobyl." Where do they get this stuff? It's the thickest, best tasting mayo I'v ever had, and they slather it on. My heart skips a beat just looking at it as it oozes out of the other end when I take a bite. I have some cracks in my concrete driveway that I'm thinking of filling with Bob's Subs mayo, or using as mortar for my next tile job. I want my obitiuary to read "Nick died at an old age, surrounded by friends and family. Cause of death- Bob's Sub." Adding to the ambiance of Bob's Sub is the dingy dining room. Seriously, could you have more of a contrast from delicious sandwich to haphazard decor? This is how youy know the place is good- the food has to be good in a place this divey. read more

I grew up eating Bob's Subs in the 80's and early 90's. There's something about the way they toast their buns or slather on the mayo that I can't quite identify, but it stands out in my memory as some of the best subs I've ever had! Nom nom nom! Next time I am in Clarion visiting my dad I'll have to make it a point to stop by. read more

It's a great place to grab a sandwich...now it's not a healthy $5 footlong, but really is that what you are looking for is it? You wanted a REAL sandwich, that's why you came to Bob's Subs. It's fantastic, they toast a Cellone's Bun and top it with your meat, veggies, and dressing. I just got to revisit the place last week and it was just as good as I remember from college. The prices are just as good as Subway (Better on some comparable sandwiches) It's not healthy, it's not fancy, it's a sandwich shop, you go here for low cost convenient comfort food. read more

I was driving through Pennsylvania on Interstate 80 and Clarion seemed an apt place to stop for lunch. I was looking around for somewhere to try and found fairly positive reviews for Bob's on Yelp, so that's where I ended up. It doesn't look like much when you're walking in -- it's very quaint and just has a few tables in a seating area beyond the counter where you order. While the employees I encountered weren't friendly, they were efficient and accommodating. There were a fair number of people there eating, so I took that as a good sign as well. When it comes down to it, I don't know if I was just really hungry or the sandwich was just that good, but I thought it was amazing and I would stop here again for lunch if I had the chance. They have a set list of toppings and you basically just choose the meat. I had the turkey sub and let them make it their way, but I asked for no onions (they got it right). They were generous with all of the ingredients and the roll was amazingly fresh. My mouth is watering just writing about this sandwich. Anyway, there doesn't seem to be a whole host of options for a quick meal in Clarion, so give Bob's a try. I'm glad I did! read more

The one in slippery rock has messed up my order almost every time I go. The level of incompetence is breathtaking. They can never seem to get it right, it pisses me off. The sandwich itself is good when done right. Which is why I go back in hope the workers can actually figure out how to read an order and put a sandwich together. read more

I moved away from Clarion 20 years ago. Once in a long while I come back, and Bob's is always on my must-do list. The buns are fresh and toasted just right, the fillings are plentiful, and service is always quick and friendly. Over the years I've had dozens of subs there, and never been even a tiny bit disappointed. read more

I think if I was a meat eater, I would have given the place 4 stars simply for making a good sandwich in Clarion PA, where the other options are scanty. They do have vegetarian options - 3 kinds of cheese, American, Provolone, and maybe Swiss, and you can get a cheese combo with all 3, so that's what I did. Then I realized that essentially the sandwich was a slab of cheese on top of a slab of mayo. The way they heap on the mayo at this place is no joke, it's like they're saying, "Clarion PA, proud to be the home of many a hardened artery!" (there is some slightly frightening people-watching around this area). The subs come in mini, junior, and large sizes, and the junior is plenty big, I'll tell you. After eating it, I didn't feel well for a while. I think I was going into cholesterol shock. No actual gastroenteritis though. And I was happy to support a local place instead of hitting one of the fast food chains. read more

If you're driving across PA and want a little taste of local yum, drive 5 minutes past all the chains to this treat in downtown Clarion. Fresh toasty bread, crunchy veggies, a wide selection of deli meat, and a hearty smear of mayo make it a perfect lunch stop. read more

Great place for students, locals, visitors, and especially alumni! Classic hoagies "it's a PA thing"!! Subs or hoagies here are delicious, simple, but unique to Bob's. I think it's in the bread and Mayo, but something is really special in the taste and it's been open for decades. When you enter, don't get weirded-out, bit they haven't changed the décor or furniture since it probably opened, but it's clean, I promise. Very friendly, down to earth employees from CU or the community, take your order and prepare your hoagies right in front of you. No frills, small town prices, but trust me...it's a must while in Clarion or stopping through. read more

Love the subs here they are very good they are fresh and not expensive we go there a lot usually get the senior spicy Italian mmmmmm

The subs are pretty good. Nothing special though, in my opinion. Very surprised some people say how great these subs are. They are pretty basic. No choice of bread, limited cheese choices, and include choice of only lettuce, tomato and onions -- which isn't very much compared with many of today's other sandwich shops. Also, the subs aren't that big. I'm a thin guy, and can easily eat the large size sandwich (Senior) which is currently $7.25. Don't get the smaller size, or you'll be hungry afterwards. Drinks are only from a refrigerator with typical bottled drinks and cost about $2 -- so you're going to spend $10/person minimum. read more
