Oh Cheba, how I love everything about you. Let me count the ways.
1. Groovy 420-themed atmosphere is part skate shop, part hippie's living room. Bonus points for a cool bar inside and roll-up garage door style walls that allow for fresh air and an open patio on warm days.
2. Delicious grub. The toasted subs are killer (can't beat the melty cheese), and customization is easy. I always get 4x pickles (yeah, baby, FOUR TIMES)! Each sandwich has a cool grass-themed name. My go-to is the Acapulco Gold.
3. Competent, friendly employees. All are laid back and eager to please. Very unusual in the service industry right now. I've never had an unpleasant experience at Cheba.
4. Fresh brewed ice tea that's always strong and super fresh, never bitter. Their self serve beverage bar features not one but TWO rotating flavors of Kool-Aid! More bonus points for having an actual photo of Ice-T on the dispenser.
5. Insanely large desserts. You want a rice krispie treat that's big enough to share with two friends? This is your place.
6. Stickers everywhere! I like to bring my own to slap on the walls. So much fun to see them all (look for movie and cat themed stickers, those are mine).
7. The restaurant is always super clean inside, no sticky tables, no dirty floors. Don't know how they do it, but this place is always spotless.
8. Open late! I love coming here for late night grub. I wish they were still open until 2 am (they aren't anymore, bummer), but you can still get a sandwich seven days a week, 10 am - midnight.
9. Their FREE app! Download this for call-ahead ordering, and make sure you scan it if you order in person at the register. You'll earn free points for free food. So easy.
10. Come As You Are. Every time I'm here, the customer base is so diverse. The bar is usually hopping, and it's a melting pot of people who love good subs. Since they're open late, lots of customers roll up in their pjs. Some have that tell-tale glassy eyed mary jane look. Others are out with their kid's Little League team. Anything goes here and as long as you have some sort of a top, bottom and shoes on, they never judge
I love Cheba Hut SO much that it's bordering on true obsession. I could eat here several times a week and never get tired of it.
