Cheba Hut celebrated their own funky combo of Thanksgiving and National Sandwich Day early on Nov. 19 by offering a free Nug-sized sandwich. Press materials claim that “Every day is National Sandwich Day at the Hut,” so my husband and I stopped by the Arlington location on Abrams Road recently to sample their food. District Manager Corey Windsor and GM Abi Meyers guided us through the menu selections.
We were impressed by the tasty “nugs” (4” toasted subs) so I tried these smaller sandwiches in several combinations. My favorite was the roast beef with horseradish sauce, but the Teriyaki chicken was a close runner-up. While my husband relished his tuna melt that was served as a salad.
With its tasty and inexpensive food offerings and friendly crew, Cheba Hut would be a fun place to visit for a quick and tasty lunch while you’re out doing that Black Friday shopping!
