The new signs say it all: Hobby’s Hoagies. Nothing beats a franchise sub-shop than a top-notch local.  The folks at Legacy at Arts Quarter are in for a treat.

Here’s part of a review from from www.eataroundokc.com:

Hobby’s Hoagies is located at 222 S. Santa Fe in Edmond, north of Oklahoma City (map). They are open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 9pm and Sunday from 11am to 3pm. For more information, visit their website.

“This ain’t Subway.”

That is what I heard George Hobson, owner of Hobby’s Hoagies, tell a customer more than a decade ago. There’s no production line at Hobby’s. You can ask for something to be left off, but if you don’t say anything, they’ll make it the same way they always do — delicious.

I’ve had the pizza at Hobby’s. I’ve had the spaghetti. But if you’re going to Hobby’s Hoagies, do yourself a favor and get a sandwich, because it’s one of the best you’ll ever have.

Most sandwiches come in two sizes at Hobby’s — 7-inch or footlong — and they all come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, oils, spices and Hobby’s special hoagie peppers on a homemade Italian roll.

That pillowy bread is a big part of the appeal. Unlike some of the stale rolls you’ll get at other sandwich shops, Hobby’s rolls are soft and satisfying, soaking up the oils and flavors of the sandwiches.
