Food is ok but the service is SO BAD. Expect to wait 20-30 min more than expected for your food. I waited 40 extra minutes and then they still messed up my order. Makes sense when the whole staff is stoned every day. Might be smart to have at least one employee that's not super high. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Food was amazing. What a great way to end my stay in Madison. Everything I ordered was fresh and tasty. The sub was probably one of the best I've ever had. Keep it up. If I'm ever here again I will order again. read more

In town for work with no car, just wanted something decent. Tried this out and it completely exceeded expectations. Workers not friendly at all but the sandwich was unbelievably good. read more

Had Cheba Hut for the first time tonight (also sober) and it did not disappoint. I had heard of this place once before and was pleased to see it lived up to the expectations. The one down side was that it did seem a little over priced, but not so much so to scare me away, definitely will be ordering again! read more

Cheba Hut Toasted Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Cheba doesn't disappoint! The names of the subs as well as the interior decoration revolves around pot culture which is cute for awhile but like anything else, gets old after time. What I enjoy about this place is the variety of choices for different subs and the choice of 3 different sizes. Definitely times where a normal sub won't do the trick (I'm looking at you "after bartime Bobb"). I typically go for the White Widow-Grilled chicken breast ,mushrooms, bacon and provolone in a ranch sauce always on their garlic herb bread. Its a good diversion from the subs at Milio's/Jimmy John's. read more

I love all my carbs toasted. I would rather be late for work and take the time to toast my bagel than eat it untoasted. This place drew me in because all their subs are TOASTED. Toasted to perfection, served warm, with just a little bit of golden brown starting to appear on the bread. Mmmm....heaven. This place has a fun vibe. Reggae music playing, really chill workers, plenty of seating inside. Their sandwiches come in 3 sizes 4 inches up to 12 inches. Nicely priced and a pretty extensive menu. I got the Kali Mist which was delicious. Had a bit of kick to it, nicely sauced. I hate dry sandwiches. Can't wait to come back and try all their subs. They have a fun selection of desserts rice krispies but also captain crunch krispy bars, cinnamon toast crunch bars, and fruity pebble bars. Sorry Jimmy John's, Which Wich, Firehouse Subs, Quizno's... every other sub place on state street I'm starting a love affair with Cheeba Hut. read more

Shout out to the manager who after my door dash driver just didn't show up to my place of business he re made the food and resent it out. It's hard for us to find reliable delivery service where we are located and we really want Cheba Hut to work for us. Great subs. Thanks again!! read more

WOW!!! This place is bangin! I asked the staff to surprise me between two sandwich options. They did not disappoint!! This may have been the best sammie I've ever had! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Cheba Hut Toasted Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

During my stay in Madison, a friend recommended I check out Cheba Hut. I had been putting it off till my last day in town and finally made it out there... and believe me, I'm sooo glad I did. I wasn't completely sure what to expect when I got there but spent a good five minutes just staring at their menu on the wall... Yeah, you can say I'm indecisive. After the check out guy asked me twice if I needed any assistance I settled on the Acapulco Gold sandwich, I mean who doesn't love BBQ chicken?! He then asked if I wanted it "loaded up" and I just had to say yes but without the dressing and it was heaven. I mean I love toasted subs and Cheba Hut does it to perfection! The BBQ chicken was so moist and flavorful with that great tangy flavor that reminds me of western Carolina BBQ... Just delicious! And paired with the Swiss cheese and fresh vegetables just made me eat the whole pinner as soon as I unraveled it. I ordered my sub to go so I can't say much about the decor or ambiance of the place but the staff were super friendly and the sub was amazing. I could see it as a popular college hang out spot as its right off State St. Cannot wait to come by and try out another sub the next time I'm in town! read more

It was very good and delivered in I think a fair time! I ordered a small sandwich and even though it seems very quickly made it was quality.

Best sandwiches in Madison. My personal favorite is the Garlic Herb Thai Stick with a Goo Ball and my boyfriend's favorite is the Garlic Herb White Widow read more

Delicious sandwiches! The bread is toasted well and delicious, especially the garlic bread. You can tell there's a high standard for quality in terms of meat and freshness of ingredients. I've never had problems with delivery and when I go in the staff is always upbeat. My personal faves are the Bomb meatball sub and the Kali Mist California Club sub. Still hungry for dessert? The brownies were great and I've heard good things about the Goo Balls Size wise, prepare to be full if you go for their large size the "Blunt". You get what you pay for for sure. The menu is diverse and offers a lot of different flavors to explore. The quirkiness of the "green" theme only adds to the fun. read more

The reason to come to Cheba hut is because you want a college ass sandwich shop combined with a bar and filled with marijuana references. Don't get me wrong, the subs are pretty good; midrange prices for high quality, but it's the place's design that makes it truly exceptional. The bar itself doesn't have too many selections but the fact it even exists makes the place fun and charming. That's the thing, it's the *atmosphere* that makes Cheba Hut a mandatory stop for twenty somethings. It's like someone crossed a dive bar with a sub shop; super fun. read more

Cheba Hut Toasted Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I'm not a stoner by any stretch of the imagination but I do enjoy the weird theme happening here and the desserts they sell called "munchies" that are basically gigantic flavored cereal Rice Krispies treats! My sandwich Of choice is the Kali Mist without bacon (I'm no fun) if your a lightweight when it comes to the heat, ask them to take it easy on the jalapeños. They also have kook aid on tap which I find very amusing. read more

These subs are so good you will want five more.. I will admit this will be my guilty pleasure as I havnt had that much hidden sodium in a long time but if your drunk and need too retain water and just want something out of this world tasty ... I would pick up a blunt... hahahahaha Kali ... before a long hike too share with a friend. Bring lots of water! read more

Omg this place is soooo yummy!!! Literally everything I have tried is delicious. 5 million stars!!!

This place used to have such a great atmosphere. I came here many times before, since they opened. Really enjoyed the place.... Been sick to my stomach, unable to eat. Today I was feeling better. Decide to try getting something at Cheba Hut. First was blinded by the stupidly bright lights. And, no longer rock music playing. Annoying mainstream rap music. And the sandwich was way too salty, and they have no business calling the bread whole wheat. This place is no longer a relaxed, calm atmosphere. And the food very inexpensive now. Will not be returning any time soon. read more

The subs here are amazing. Toasted to perfection with a great assortment of choices. 10/10 recommend

Can't go wrong with Cheba Hut. Hands down the best subs in Madison. My personal favorites are the Jamaican Red, Apollo 13, and Cali mist. Can't go wrong with any sub and their vegetarian options are excellent as well. Very cool interior of the restaurant with lots going on. Workers are always friendly and the mood is always positive. read more

Not a bad sub except: - boring bread - more salad than meat - a bit over-priced. Doubt I will return. read more

The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is better. Love the art work and hilarious innuendo ...but the food... OMG. Get the 5-0 soooo worth it. read more

Staff and service was great. Sandwich was not so great. I was fairly hungry and ordered the "pizza" sandwich. It was basically a few slices of italian meats and some cheese in a bun. Would hardly constitute the price that I paid for it (like 8 bucks give or take). I heard good things about Cheba from being in Denver but this was pretty disappointing and there are far more better options in Madison when it comes to spending that amount of money for sandwiches or even anything else. The redeeming factor was that I also bought the cinnamon toast crunch rice crispie. It's pretty dank. read more

Got the white which and asked for pickles. Got one fucking pickle. It was like a spear the size of a dill! Like come on I needed at least two. But then again the rest of the sandwich was real good. And the bar was dope bartenders were really cool. Just need more pickles read more

Great customer service and tasty sandwiches! I think their White Widow sandwich is my favorite, but all of them are great.

Another welcome addition to Mad-Town. Whether or not you indulge in the Doobie-wah-Kenobi, Cheba hut will not disappoint! I had a chance to mow down on a variety of items during their grand opening this past week. While I may have been skeptical at first glance, overall, I was totally impressed with the whole package. First off, the subs were excellent. Appropriately sized in either Nug, Pinner or Blunt, I opted for a nug of White Widow and a pinner of La Canna. The White Widow was a ridiculously delicious combo of Chicken, bacon and mushrooms slathered in ranch dressing. Righteous. The La Canna was a classic take on an Italian deli sub with salami and ham. All in all, the subs were fresh and tasty. As well, I respected their heavy-handed selection of veggie subs...so if you prescribe to such a diet, you'll have a hell of a selection in comparison with other comparable sub shops. I would be remise to exclude the wild selection of baked goods. From hemp brownies to crazy cereal-laden marshmallow treats, they're not to be missed. Add a couple of brews to the mix (yup, they have a bar!) and you're all set. On a side note, the staff was super attentive and proactively helped me pimp my sub out...cheers to that! I will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Cheba Hut Toasted Subs - La Canna! - Sandwiches Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

This place is LEGIT. Seriously. Sorry if word abbreviations bother you (my grandmother was a high school English teacher and just hates the popular use of 'legit' more than just about anything else- sorry, Grandma!), but I could not think of a better word for Cheba Hut. The space is a vast improvement from the several previous restaurants that I have seen at the location - the interior is spacious, clean, and filled with cool art and posters. The staff was awesome - very friendly and helpful. I was greeted warmly and given very tasty recommendations as to how I should dress up my sub. Speaking of which, the sub was delicious!! I went with the Majic Mushroom sans-cheese, which was teriyaki portabella mushrooms, pineapple, and peppers. I added a bit of mustard, some lettuce, onion, tomato, pickle, and cucumbers. It was stuffed to the brim. The flavors were great and everything tasted amazingly fresh - because it was! Before I ordered, the cashier explained how in-house their shop was - they make their own dressings, cream cheeses and guacamole, slice their own veggies, and bake from scratch their own "munchies" like hemp brownies, cereal treats, and more. They also offer a few selections of local brews. The only way I could see improvement is perhaps by offering gluten-free bread? Just because my roommate, who recently found out she's gluten-intolerant was bummed she couldn't join me. Otherwise, I can't think of anything - Cheba Hut rocks. I highly recommend you guys check this place out. read more

I used to live across from this place, and it's been nothing short of entertaining. I kid you not one time I looked out my window, and women in bikinis were wrestling in cheese wiz. Every time I'm there I enjoy myself, as the staff is really laid back and friendly. Their witty sub sizes - nug, pinner, and blunt - are aptly named for the amount that you get. I usually order the 5-0 with all the pig: bacon, salami, ham, prosciutto, and pepperoni. My fav topping is the giardinera pepper. They allow you to stuff the subs full of toppings, so it's a super filling meal. Don't forgot that this place also has beer on tap! My friends and I used to frequent their mini bar for a quick drink before going out. Keep on keepin on, cheba! read more

As a recent college grad, I have grown to love and appreciate a well made late night sandwich. I thought my only hope in sandwiches lied on the shoulders of Jimmy Johns. What a great feeling to be proven wrong! Came here on a Thursday night, and I fought my boyfriend on the way there; I thought it was going to be a literal hut where stoners smoked in the corner. All the workers there were very chill, and they didn't mind that I took almost ten minutes reading over every item and asking so many questions. The theme of the restaurant is a little off-putting at first, but it eventually grew on me. I couldn't decide between the Thai Stick Sub and the Chronic. The barbeque mixed with giadiniera (which I asked for) won me over and I ordered the largest size of the Chronic. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the barbeque meat mixed with the peppers was heavenly. The sandwich never got soggy, and the contents of the sub stayed moist and juicy. I thought I wasn't hungry, and I couldn't stop eating this sub. The restaurant is located right downtown, and I didn't see too much street parking around. I would recommend walking there, or stopping by late night. Menu is long with different breads, meats, and sweet goodies. I was very happy with my experience here, and I plan on coming back. read more

Wow is all I can say. I walked in expecting my usual drunk food glory. But I was met with a manager that said I was not welcome because it was too late for them to serve my group. ( we arrived at 12:30 and they pride themselves on being a drunk food haven) In the past their food and management was so polite and delicious. But unfortunately since it changed hands last winter it has been nothing but a let down. read more

There are certain truths in life that are simply infallible. One of those truths is: trust stoners to make your food. No one has doe-eyed love for consumptive gluttony like someone so stoned they can barely think. You want the proprietor of your chow to have such little outside awareness that your dumb meal becomes their world. For that matter, there is a cynical sheen to the whole marketing effort of Cheba Hut. A pot-themed sandwich joint smack in the middle of the college shopping experience seems a little too cutesy to me. I am, of course, a frowny joyless grandpa though. So don't read too much into my grousing about the marketing. Down to brass tacks. The food. Man, the food. All ingredients I've experienced ("experienced," you guys) have been very fresh and tasty. Plenty of great combos from standard hams and turkeys to more exotic like Thai chicken. Lots of sauce choices and dessert options too. Everything has a ridiculous/amusing name, so do some reading to figure out what is actually on the stupid thing. Cheba Hut is like when your weird 14-year-old brother keeps bugging you about checking out his likely awful garage band. Just bad covers of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Weezer, you think as you step into the garage. And you know what? The band is pretty good. They're all dressed unfortunately and the whole affair is kinda sloppy but the band is pretty damn good. That's Cheba Hut. Get a sandwich from people who think that life is just an unending Scooby Doo cartoon. Do it. read more

The Magic Mushroom with no cheese was delicious! The teriyaki sauce on it was drool worthy. Being the only standing location in the Midwest, it was wonderful to be able to experience the same vibe I feel whenever I have tried it out west. I loved seeing the artwork for sale behind the counter, as I am always grateful for the opportunity to support local artists. Vegan friendly. read more

I've been going to this sub shop for a long time. Super friendly and relaxed until recently. I ordered for delivery because I didn't want to walk and once I got my food I found "No tip?! Cash tip??" written on the top of my receipt. Ridiculously tacky. Not going back. Also watch out what you order on their online menu, they don't seem to let you know they don't like making certain items To Go. read more

Cheba Hut Toasted Subs - Ordered for delivery, got this written at the top of the receipt. - Sandwiches Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Don't be fooled by the theme and the drunk college kids hanging out in the restaurant, this place has solid sandwiches. If you want something cheap take-outy but better than say, Subway (and I LIKE subway!), Cheba Hut is a good choice. Just make sure you're comfortable ordering a "blunt", etc, because the menu items are all pot themed.. I'm not a vegetarian but the Griefo, one of the meatless choices on the menu, is always very satisfying. My favorite part is the jalapeño cream cheese! You should add it to whatever sandwich you end up getting :) Never ordered delivery but they do have a pretty snazzy delivery mobile. read more

Good food, of course nice people, and my type of atmosphere. I'm from Arizona, so it was nice being at a place I'm familiar with! Will return if in Downtown. Got the AK-47 Sandwich and was on point. But it was a slow time and it took longer than I expected for them to make, could be a little quicker, But no biggy! Peace and love read more

There are so many amazing places to eat in Madison. Especially around the State Street/Capitol building area. Cheba Hut might not be the nicest or cleanest restaurant but, it is on my top 10! The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is comfortable and the sandwiches are Crazy Yummy The theme is pretty good too read more

Cheba Hut is worthy of 5 stars because they have THE BEST sub sandwiches in Madison. For me, there sandwiches are the best I've ever had as of this review. To start, the gimmick of this place is that all the sandwiches and food are named after nicknames for weed and getting high. I, for one, think that the names are hilarious (e.g. the pizza sub is called DANK). The largest sub (the blunt) is incredibly filling. When I first went here at night I had just got done with a 8 mile run and lifting weights and hadn't eaten since the morning. Despite being incredibly ravenous, I was filled to the brim and couldn't have another bite after finishing my sandwich. My favorite is the Apollo 13 (greek chicken sandwich) which is made with completely fresh ingredients and has a really clean taste. Also, they sell Kool-aid that comes in a drink fountain! The workers are very nice but work at a speed as if they were higher than a kite. This is off-putting to some people who are used to the speed of establishments like Jimmy John's but this place is worth the patience. When I've gone the average wait for a sandwich is about 10-15 minutes, and that's when the place isn't very busy. Overall, the restaurant is very unique and has very tasty food. If you aren't in a hurry stop in here and try their amazing subs! read more

What a witty little "hut" I've found... The sammies are all called funky names (cuter than E&G) and are the kind of thing you want when your tasters are enhanced as they sometimes are at night after studying and rewarding oneself with "a treat" Fresh ingredients and house made ranch sauce to die for! Fav sandwiches: All Pig, White Widow and all the veggies you could ask for... Then when you think it couldn't get any better..... They ask if you want it grilled-BAM!!!! I'm hooked. Full bar too or soft drinks and Kool-Aid! Uber fantastic for that dry mouth you have from your "cold" or "allergies" haha And there are new sides not just chips but baked pretzel nuggets with cheese sauce, salads, and the sweet treats, ohhhhh the sweet treats.... Captain Crunch Berries Bar, Goo Balls, and Fruity pebbles bars.... Staff has always been amazing...patient, don't mind answering questions, helpful, and courteous. Made me feel very welcome. Everything you need to satisfy your cravings. When you're hungry for a sub with a certain flair, beat feet Dow to Cheba Hut for a Blunt, Pinner, or Nug. You'll be glad you did. read more
