I met a friend here for lunch who told me this is her favorite place to get a sandwich. I agree - this is one of the best sandwich shops I've been to. The interior decor can be described in one word: Dude! There are a handful of tables inside and a bar where beer on tap is served. As a first-timer, the young woman at the register was friendly and helpful in helping me make decisions after being overwhelmed my their large menu. So many choices! I decided on the Acapulco Gold: BBQ chicken breast pieces, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and dressing. It usually comes with onions too, but I asked that ingredient be left out. She guided me to try it on garlic bread, which was a wise choice (thank you), and her finger measurements helped me decide on how big a sandwich I should get. I made it a combo, which came with a bag of chips and a fountain drink. The sandwich was messy but, as is often the case with messy food, it was incredibly delicious! All the flavors melded well together. Every ingredient tasted so fresh, especially the bread. This is THE place to come if you are craving a sandwich!

The sandwiches are great! Delicious and fresh. I would say that this time the sandwiches were on the lighter side in terms of how much they were filled. Service is good, cashiers are nice. The space is seemingly well kept, plenty of seating inside and outside. read more

the acapulco gold sandwich was DIVINE. the flavors mixed perfectly and was making me want more once I finished. the sandwiches themselves are packed, and can be messy. i think they are comparable in size and style to the popular socal chain Ike's. the staff were friendly and made good recommendations for first time visitors. bathrooms available for customers. the restaurant itself is styled much like a surf shop and very reminiscent of another popular socal chain Wahoo's fish tacos. read more

Who knew a sandwich could be THIS good? Cheba Hut completely caught me off guard in the best possible way. The flavor was outstanding, the service was friendly, and what I expected to be a quick sandwich stop turned into one of those meals where you're already thinking about what you'll order next time. The decor and theme are definitely quirky and a little irreverent, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but personally, I found it fun and memorable. Besides, when the sandwiches taste this good, I'm much more concerned with what's between the bread than what's hanging on the walls. Everything about my visit was excellent, and I'll absolutely be back. read more

Cheba Hut Toasted Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Riverside, California

There's a definite vibe when entering and you can smell all the delicious fragrances! Youre warmly greeted by the staff when walking in. Parking is limited but lots of parking in the neighborhood and it was nice to have a walk before getting lunch. I went with the power plant sandwich and got a brownie too. The brownie was moist and super sweet while I enjoyed the mixture of guac., hummus, and mushroom in my sandwich. There was plenty of seating inside but I got my order to go which was nicely wrapped so when I ate it, still piping hot. Im looking forward to trying the rest of the menu! read more

I was so excited to see that Cheba Hut is near Fox Theater in Riverside. If you are going to a show there or going to a concert at the Municipal auditorium, Cheba hut is so so close! This place is by far one of my favorite sandwich places, albeit a little on the pricier side for sandwiches. BUT they use so many fresh ingredients that the prices make sense. As a vegetarian, I am always on the lookout for a sandwich that is not just tomato, onion and lettuce. The Griefo is by far my favorite sub to get here. My husband, who is not vegetarian, loves the teriyaki chicken sandwich. Will definitely be back to try other options the next time we're trying to catch a show in riverside. The parking can be a little annoying, there's a lot nearby that fills up quickly because of the shows and can be a nightmare to get out of if you go get sandwiches around the time the show is ending. There is a lot of street parking though. read more

I was in town for business and needed to get dinner late after a long day and the hotel restaurant was unavailable. At 8 pm I decided to walk down the street to get a sandwich. I don't recommend walking that late because it's doesn't feel safe. Anyway, the decorations at Cheba Hut are very cheeky and fun. I didn't know what to expect with all the leaf decor. However, their menu IS vast and varied. I did noticed that they do have vegetarian options. I ordered the Apollo 13 (Greek chicken) sandwhich and it was superb! Very tasty Service was fast and informative and the guy at the front was very patient. He got my order right and I was out in no time. I highly recommend their sandwich. Very tasty. read more

Wow!! Hands down best sandwich I've ever had I ordered the Midwest best no onions The bread is cooked to perfection Overall 10/10 read more

Great tasting sandwiches but I will not go back because of minors smoking cigar and weed & drinking alcohol in the restaurant patio when I was there. Clearly in violation of the law which the restaurant appear to be ok with. Sorry but you lost my business. Hope you'll do your part as a business to protect young people. Do not tolerate this activity in your restaurant. read more

Cheba Hut used to be my favorite lunch spot when I worked in the area and would crave a delicious sandwich. We stopped after a hike in riverside, a family day. These are by far my favorite, with the variety of different subs and flavors you have in each sandwich! These 4"(nug) is what I get an it fills me up! The sizing and portion is great. The service is amazing, they are very helpful and kind. They also have good selections of drinks from fountain drinks to kool-aid ( different flavors ) to alcoholic beca as well! The atmosphere of the restaurant is great. We sat in and enjoyed great music while eating our lunch. I definitely recommend anyone in the area stop at cheba. read more

The garlic bread is the way to go when ordering a sandwich here. I ordered the white widow which is their chicken bacon ranch sub and it was amazing. They aren't stingy with their toppings and the sandwich is definitely filling. Definitely a sandwich that will get your hands dirty but delicious. I need to try all the other subs but you can tell any sub would be great. I'm not going out for sandwiches unless it's this place. Ambiance is cool and place is very clean. Service is also great. read more

First time trying & it was a 10/10! Recently moved to the area & I've been dying to try since I always pass by the place & it did not disappoint! Sandwiches were so good & packed with veggies (which I love!) Atmosphere was a 10/10 as well & I did not know there was a bar inside which was a plus & they were playing the World Cup as well. All workers were friendly & service was quick. Definitely will be coming back :) read more

What a joke. For $18 I got bread. I had ordered a cheese sandwich m, with extra cheese, online through DoorDash in the past from this place and gotten a toasted cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato, all the fixings. Like a sandwich but with cheese. This time I got bread. $18??? For a REAL delicious sandwich go to the European Deli Market on Indiana. Reply to owner - even if I had ordered a cheese sandwich with no veggies, does the sandwich I received look like it has extra cheese? It looks like bread. Besides I had ordered online before and received the right order. Your staff needs training. read more

Coworker took me here for an out of office lunch. Really unique and fun menu of hot and cold sandwiches with unique names. I had the bacon chicken ranch sandwich and it was superb! Really soft toasty bread and melted cheese with lots of flavor. My coworker had the spicy version of my sandwich. The service was good, and you stand in line to order and they bring your order to the table if you dine inside. There is also a bar slanging up drinks. Really funky and fun decor. This place is a cool vibe, and has great food. They are worth checking out. read more

Cheba Hut Toasted Subs is the Real Deal when it comes to Subs. I ordered The Bomb which is a Meatball Sub. This Meatball Sub was Perfect a 10 out of 10. The bread was the garlic bread. The sauce used with the meatballs was so amazing and tasted so fresh. The addition of the Mushrooms and Bell Pepper made it over the top for me . The perfect sandwich. read more

This place is like the others if you know what it is, then you know. It's a pot themed sandwich chain. Yes it's a chain. Of the times I've ordered and had it delivered, it can take an hour. They brought the wrong drinks once, forgot the dessert another time, but over all the food is messy and good. I like the KGB the best, and get a side of the horseradish, it's worth it. read more

Mmm...sandwiches!!! I'd be lying if I said we didn't come here about once a week. There is no lack of options for a great sandwich here, including vegetarian. You won't catch me ordering one without meat, lol, but the options are available! There are multiple size options; nug (small), pinner (med), & blunt (quite large), and multiple bread choices; white, wheat, & garlic. I usually bounce between the "Midwest Best", the "Chiesel" (add ham & bacon), and the "Five-O". We've tried almost all of the sandwiches so far. Always on garlic bread for us. You can choose from a number of chip options to accompany your sandwich. If you do like we do, add an order of pretzel nuggets (comes w/honey mustard, but do yourself a favor and add a side of jalapeno cream cheese, too), the not'chos, or the garlic cheese bread (add regular cream cheese, you'll thank me for it!). Don't be afraid to customize your order, they appreciate an imagination . Remember to check out the baked goodies at the order counter. The rice crispy treats are perfection, the gooballs are sinful, and holy wow, when the season is right, get the lemon blueberry cookie! The service is always friendly and timely, whether you eat there or to go. Order a regular drink up front with your food, or hit the full bar in the back. The "Hash Can" is my go-to if it's not too late (has a full redbull w/flavor choices). Otherwise, I lean toward the "Ms. Parker" or the "Buzzed Bong Water". The beer is always cold & never flat, and they rotate local beers on tap. And don't forget the jello shots! Grab a seat inside to enjoy the nightly entertainment - be it a DJ, local singer, or karaoke - or sit outside under the umbrellas to enjoy the nightlife and/or craziness of downtown Riverside. Park right in front if you're lucky, or find a spot on the side street or the parking structure a block down. It's always a vibe! read more

Cute spot with whimsy decor, when you walk in it just feels fun! The worker that assisted me was really nice and gave a great recommendation. I opted for an 8" The Kind on white bread. It was a good sandwich but not game changing. The bread had a chewiness to it that I actually really enjoyed, like it is a more wet dough than traditional sandwich bread. I think they make their own pickles and while there was a good crunch they did lack a good tang one expects from a pickle. The sandwich while good seemed to be overpriced for what you get. I paid $16.60 including tax/tip and for an 8" it did seem small. Worth trying for sure and I could see myself stopping by if they happened to be next to me but I wouldn't crave this spot and go out of my way for it. read more

What a beautiful lil shop on the corner of the block in downtown riverside. The interior is kick-ass, the service was friendly and quick! And the food was delicious!!! I do have a comment about the sandwich (and it was a collective agreement) and how it was very oily. I think if I get another sandwich from this spot, it would have to be light on the oil or whatever is making it greasy. read more

I like the play on cannabis at the restaurant. They have a very interesting sticker wall. I like that you can sit at the bar in a sandwich spot. I ordered some nachos and a sandwich and waited at the bar with a beer. It took a while for the food to come but enjoying the beer solved that. Everyone was nice and accommodating. I will be back for sure. Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of the food, I was super hungry lol read more

I tend to love Cheba Hut but this is not the place where you can order online. I ordered the Kali Mist as a salad and the amount of meat I got is laughable. This might be the amount of meat they add if it's the tiny size sub not a huge full priced salad. Even when I've ordered this exact salad in person they have always added much more meat. What a joke. read more

Place always hits the spot. my go to for subs and I'm not a sandwich person. They got the best sandwiches in riverside strongly recommend.

Food is good but customer service has gotten so terrible! They over charge for everything and always forget to give you what you paid for.

So many good food spots near by, don't waste your time here. read more

Still think they need to open one in OC. This is becoming a long drive for me read more
