Stopped here for a quick lunch. I wasn’t blown away here but it wasn’t bad either. The meats and veggies were fresh and sliced there. The bread was ok but a little stiff.

Worked with me when I forgot my wallet. They were very understanding and the food is always fresh when I go. Best sub shop I’ve ever been to by far.

I’ve been going to the Hippo since High School and it never disappoints! Fantastic bread, meat is freshly cut and they load up your sandwich. I got a salad today and was amazed at how much I got….and I ordered all the fixings! Great customer service! This is the best sub shop I’ve been to!

I have always loved their sandwiches. I introduced my kiddos to them the other day and now my daughter keeps asking when we are going to go again. She loves their sandwiches.

Hippo lovers delight! Friendly staff, fresh bread, veggies, and mouth watering meat! Inexpensive and totally worth every second I spent here! Make sure to take a look at the wall art and all the various things they implement into the shop regarding hippos! Well worth it to pop in and try it out for yourself!
