The Hungry Hippo Sub Shop in Gainesville is a popular sandwich spot known for its pastrami sandwiches and custom sandwich combinations. The shop offers delicious bread, generous portion sizes, and quality ingredients at reasonable prices. The interior is humble, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient. The staff is praised for their attention to detail and quick service, even during busy lunch hours.
The Cajun turkey and cheese, as well as the tuna on wheat with all the veggies (excluding tomatoes), are popular menu items. The bread, prepared and prepped daily, is particularly noteworthy for its softness and freshness. The Hungry Hippo Sub Shop provides a consistent, dependable, and unchanged experience that keeps customers coming back for more. Its historic location in downtown Gainesville, complete with a jingling doorbell, adds to its charm and nostalgic atmosphere. This friendly little mom and pop sandwich shop has lots of sub options, and everything was surprisingly good. Customers would definitely come back here before going to any corporate sandwich chain. It's a cute little sub shop with great prices, especially for the quality. The workers there were super nice. The Italian sub, with ham, salami, and pastrami, was so filling. When in Gainesville and wanting a sandwich, there’s no other place that comes to mind other than Hungry Hippo, a small town sandwich shop that serves up huge sandwiches with great prices. The #22 hippo delight with all the toppings “the hippo way” and the inside bread taken out “made skinny” is a recommended sandwich. They also have an all-cheese option for vegetarian options.
