“Bub and Pop's provides most ingredients for their sandwiches, which are prepared in-house from scratch. Their staff is very attentive and friendly. The sandwich shop offers a selection of hot teas, and all menus are displayed at their counter. Bub and Pop's serves kettle-cooked potato chips, French onion dip and beanie greenies. They are well-known for making some of the best sandwiches in the country. Catering services are available.
