Cheba Hut is a “Toasted” sub concept that has been curing munchies since its start in 1998. Founder Scott Jennings decided to showcase the harmony between great tasting food and … well, a very specific counter-culture. The menu features signature sub sandwiches, as well as a variety of Rice Krispy treats, salads, and munchies. Most locations also offer bars featuring local beers from neighborhood breweries and a variety of Cottonmouth Cures.
What really sets Cheba Hut apart, though, can only be experienced in our shops. We combine homegrown food with real people in a relaxed environment. Escape the established.
