Bob's is the "new" Sub shop in town--a spinoff of a mother store in Clarion or Slippery Rock or one of those other PA small college towns (I can't tell one of 'em from another). I decided to give them a try, and found their italian hoagie to be blandly mediocre--not as bad as the bad reviews written before mine, but not as awesome as the breathless, obviously fake reviews that you'll find in the "filtered reviews" section (come on guys, if you're going to try to fool me at least vary your syntax a little.) But I digress. The Bob's sub was remarkably ordinary--I got it warm and to go, so it was a little limp from the 5 minute jaunt home, but I gave them a pass. It wasn't greasy, just...unremarkable. Nothing special about it, but not nearly as good as it's neighbors. 9th St, Steel City, even Subs and Suds offer better and often bigger for the money. This is a frustrating review--nothing good to say, nothing bad to say. But that says a lot, doesn't it? I'll be real curious to see if this place can make it. I'm betting not.

I was excited to try a new sub place in town... Ugh. My cheesesteak was somehow both soggy and dry. Of course it was flavorless as well.

Awful. They have better subs at the gas station; no joke. The meat was low quality and tasted funny.

Just tried Bob's subs for the first time and honestly, they were the worst I have ever had. If your idea of a good sub is a soggy roll with globs and globs of mayo, mostly lettuce and barely a shred of low quality meat and cheese, then this is the place for you. I am a hoagie lover and we actually threw this "food" out after a few bites. My sister raved about Bob's subs in Slippery Rock so I was happy to try it when they opened one here. Big waste of money. I don't know, maybe they had someone not well trained making the food tonight? I won't risk this place again, it was disgusting.

I went here today to grab some lunch with my girlfriend. We were looking for some place new to eat in town and both wanted subs...so we decided to go to bob's because we have never been there. The restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was relaxing. I found the bread to be crisp and fresh. The meat was good, but nothing really stood out about it. The veggies where fresh and exactly how veggies should taste. I guess the cons of this place are there is no meal deal which would be nice and the subs could use some more meat on them. Overall, I would say they are tied for best subs in town I'm not crazy either because my girlfriend said the same thing!

If you are in the mood for a sub this is the place for you! They have several great subs and definitely aren't afraid to put meat and veggies on your sub! Their shakes are great but a little pricey for the size.
