    This place will soon change to the name "Sharm Cafe" after a change in management. I never went here during the old ownership but the current owners are doing a great job.

    This is a small sub shop, about two tables to sit at. The woman running the counter was nice enough to bring us on food instead of most places that demand you come up to the counter, so that is big points for customer service. They also deliver.

    The food is really cheap and you will get a lot of food for a little bit of money. An example would be one of their special deals (half sub, fries and can of soda for less than 8 dollars)

    Now even though it is advertised as only a half it's actually a full sub, It could use a lot more meat, but the bread is the best ive tasted for a small time sub shop. The bread is baked right there!

    The fries were super crispy, I was shocked because sub shop fries are wilted and tasteless anywhere else. The onion rings had great breading too, although a bit expensive at 5 bucks an order. You will get more value from the fries, the serving size is a small mountain at around 2 bucks or so.

    All around great value, great taste, a solid place to eat at with less than 10 bucks in your pocket and in need of a full belly. Forget burger king or McDonalds, come here instead!

    Bubba's Breakaway (soon to be Sharm Cafe) offers the standard sub and sandwich offerings, fajitas, quesadillas plus salads and soups.

    I tried the gyro wrap and a tossed salad. The portions were large and could be shared with someone. The lamb gyro was tender with a nice layer of tzaziki, onions (very mild) cucumbers and tomatoes. It was really tasty and the vegetables were fresh. The tossed salad had onions, green peppers, tomatoes and croutons on a mound of iceberg lettuce. It's just hard to get excited about a salad but this was fresh.

    The woman who took my order had mentioned that they also offer kebabs, felafel and other Mediterranean dishes. If you call later in the afternoon or evening, you can get the daily specials consisting of Egyptian lasagna, lentils and rice and more that are not on the menu. I will venture back to try the homemade specialties.

    If you choose to dine in, there are only 4 booths and it does look worn out/run down. If you can look past that you will get tasty food, large portions and a great price.

    I'm seeing Adam's review below, and it worked...I am ashamed to have waited so long to review Bubba's! Especially so since I've been eating their delicious greasiness since 1994. For shame, indeed.

    To this day, when college friends who have moved away from the area come back for a visit, their first request for food is Bubba's. A lot of it is nostalgia, yes...many of us still have our yellow Bubba's can openers still dangling from our keychains. When I think back to college and the late nights putting the student newspaper to bed, I have Bubba's to thank for getting us through many an issue without killing each other.

    The most important foods:
    - Cheeseburger sub with lettuce and red hots
    - "Hot munchers" (kind of like tater tots with a dab of jalapeno cheese in the center)
    - Perfectly wilted, peppered fries.
    - The ridiculously big pickles

    To this day, Bubba's is a special treat in my house.

    First of all, Yelpers of the greater Baltimore area, why have you not reviewed Bubba's Breakaway yet?  For shame!

    Second of all, let me be clear, I'm not exactly sure what a Breakaway is.  It could be the big sandwiches they serve.  There are some strange names for big sandwiches eaten on long rolls, submarine, hero, hoagie, grinder... breakaway could fit right in there.  But there's also the possibility that "breakaway" refers to the action of breaking away from the pack to get one of these delicious sandwiches.

    They make their own bread, the hot subs are to die for, and it's pretty cheap.  What else could you want?
