HOBBY’S HOAGIES 
If your goal is to eat fresh, nutritious foods packed with flavor, treat yourself to a taste of the East Coast at Hobby’s Hoagies! Since 1991, they’ve delighted customers with the finest ingredients such as prime, juicy ribeye steak, real chicken breast, premium meats and cheeses, fresh veggies prepped in house daily, homemade Italian bread, and their signature crushed hot cherry peppers shipped in from Delaware. Choose any of their hoagies or Phillys to make into a salad to keep it light. Don’t forget their 6-foot party sub and party trays for gatherings too. Visit 222 S. Santa Fe Ave., Edmond, or 325 N Walker Ave, Oklahoma City, or online at hobbyshoagies.com. Follow them on Facebook for fun Super Bowl specials to come!
