    About Cheba Hut Toasted Subs

    Cheba Hut is a "Toasted" sub concept that has been curing munchies since 1998. Our Huts not only tout the best bread in the business, but our foodies "Flip the Bird" to the establishment with our homegrown food, our relaxed environment and our amazing employees; who actually enjoy rollin in our joint.
    Over the past 20 years, we have seen steady growth and today our Huts can be found in over 20 locations, across 7 states.
    Cheba Hut is the quintessential "anti-Corporation”. Since 1998, we have broken the mold of mundane fast-casual concepts and set ourselves apart by becoming the first cannabis-themed "joint”.
