Latest Henry's Sub and Ice Cream Shoppe news and reviews

JM and Nichole split the ham and cheese sandwich, a root beer float, and an ice cream cone (Moose Tracks).
The bill was about $12 plus tip.
JM gave Henry's Sub and Ice Cream Shoppe a B-; Nichole gave Henry's Sub and Ice Cream Shoppe a B (see our grading rubric).

Henry Vilas Zoo, writ large, is a gem.  Its cost ($0) and location (between Monroe St. and the Park St. medical complex) make it an easy stop for anyone with a few hours to burn, especially with tots in tow.

The Sub and Ice Cream Shoppe is, therefore, automatic.  The sandwiches are stangely a step above Sysco, but still, in some way, preprocessed. The bread is tasty but still had to  be baked in the Zoo kitchen. The Schoep's ice cream is is refreshing on a warm sunny day, like we were lucky to have, but the price is a little steeper than we'd pay for a pint of it at the corner grocery.

So come for the animals, but eat here only if you get so hungry you can't make it to Zuzu Cafe.
