The place was actually on a side street about a block off the main road and was built as a log cabin.

There were a few unusual touches however.  First, each table had a Heinz Malt Vinegar bottle amongst the condiments so you could vinegar-ize your fries like at the State Fair, and second, the hamburger patties were unusual.  Almost invariably hamburger patties are round or square, but at <i>The Sub Cabin<\/i> they were rectangular so they would fit in sub buns.  I can't think of anywhere else in Columbia that does that.<\/p>\n<p>At some point in the 90s, the church which was gradually taking over the failed plaza which abuted <i>The Sub Cabin<\/i> underwent a major growth spurt and bought <i>The Sub Cabin<\/i>'s lot, eventually tearing the building down.  As far as I know, the owner never relocated anywhere else -- perhaps it was time to retire.  Given that the place was on the opposite side of town I didn't get there that often, but it was a quirky little joint and I miss it from time-to-time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sub Cabin was an interesting little restaurant off of Sunset Boulevard in West Columbia.
