Pub N Sub... a concept combining two of my favorite things in the world! So why did it take me so long (7 years) to finally get in here? I don't know, but I'm sure glad I did! A friendly staff, warm atmosphere, big tables with red checked cloths, a menu filled with great hot and cold sandwiches, pizzas made on homemade dough, and wings and all your fried pubby favorites spelled home sweet home for me! Add in a sweet selection of frosty cold beverages, TVs and a constant stream of great locals pouring through the door, and it becomes clear why this place is a true local favorite.
Tucked away up on a hill in a residential part of town near the university, the location is really cool. The drive up takes you on a windy road passed all the Greek houses and offers a nice view of the city. The restaurant is surrounded by homes, and if I were a college student, this is where I'd want to be.
As I pulled into the parking spot, I noticed a guy loading 20+ to-go orders into his car and some huge sacks of flour being carried into the restaurant. It felt right, and as I came to grab lunch, I walked in, noticed the big fresh loaves of bread and slicer on the counter, glanced at the menu and ordered a "half" #1 sub, which is a 9" roll with prosciutto, ham, salami, cappicola, and pepperoni, and cheese. I had mine with the "regulars" aka tomato, lettuce, onion, mayo, oil & vinegar, S&P, and oregano. Mmmmm. The roll was soft but dense enough to hold up to everything inside, and the meats were sliced fresh, and the veggies were crunchy and delicious. It took me a while to get through the "half" sandwich, which left me very satisfied.
The hardest part of this visit was trying to do my work while listening to everyone around me order things! They all sounded and looked sooooo good! I saw a huge pizza come out to two dudes at the table next to me that looked amazing (all sorts of meat with just the right amount of crisp put on em), an order of garlic fries were demolished by a couple a little bit later, and last was this guy that ordered a hot chicken sub that made me hungry all over again.
Here's a suggestion for ya Pub N Sub! Other places have mug clubs, but I think you need a SUB CLUB! Try all the combinations and get a sandwich named after you and be immortalized in the hallowed halls of subdom!
One visit and I'm now on a mission impossible to try em all. I'll either do it, or go down fighting! read more
