It's *alright*, but it's not my favorite. For *my* money, the best sub place is a restaurant called Firehouse Subs. Right now most of their locations are in the Southern US (though they have locations in Arizona and Nevada now) but they're expanding quickly. Best subs I've ever eaten.

I like either their meatball marinara sub or their italian meat sandwich
(Ham, Salami, Pepperoni & Provolone).

See I think the Mistake my family made is comparing the Subway sandwich to a thing in Philly called a HOAGIE and that was something they were not supposed to do-lol HOAGIES and SUBWAY SANDWICHES are totally different

I used to like them a lot more than lately. Guess I should give them another try again.

No matter what, I wish Subway and Mr. Submarine would go back to making milkshakes. I don't know why they dropped them. Nothing better than an asst'd coldcut with a thick chocolate shake! :)

I hate the place. My homemade subs are much better and tastier than anything I have ever had there. The cheese there tastes like plastic and the meat is definitely over processed.

It's okay. They don't put enough meat on though. I often times eat a mustard and lettuce sandwich instead of a turkey, lettuce, and mustard. I swear they put on 2 slices of meat. I want more meat and NOT have to pay extra for it.

Their mustard isn't as hot as Jimmy John's though. That can be a plus.


Best place to get a sub...Mr. Goodcents. Too bad most of them are in Missouri.

Like a couple of the others, I recently discovered Quiznos and wents nuts for it, but I think I over-did it for a while. Plus, one place I went to, I ordered the Philly Cheese and they sliced the roast beef waaay too thick - it was gross and I couldn't finish it. It's now put me right off them for a bit.

I like the meatball sub at Subway. :liplick:

With Quizno's it depends on which location. The couple I tried skimped on the meat too much. The one right by my house wasn't open for very long before it closed down. No meat, no business. I don't want a lettuce and mayo sub.

Maybe the shakes were just a Canadian thing or something. Boy they were good! Way better than McD's.

Now if I'm at a food court or something, I'll grab a shake at Dairy Queen and then either a Subway, Mr. Sub or Mama Burger from A&W.

Subway is an "ok" sandwich joint. But as someone said earlier... local shops always tend to be better. There's a place called Busy Bee Market a few miles away from my house, many call it the best sandwich restaurant in California.

Yesterday I went to a Subway location that I'd never been to before and never thought I'd have a reason to complain but I do. The problems began when the woman ahead of me decided to order 6 subs. That didn't bother me but the food they were serving sure did.

The first issue was that there were only 2 types of bread to choose from, Regular and whole wheat. They claimed that they were out of the other bread types but I saw different ones sitting unbaked on their racks

She was getting all regular bread and it was smashed flatter than a pancake. it was all the workers could do to keep the subs from literally falling apart. I also used to work at Subway so I know how the bread should look and this looked like it had been run over with a truck.

If that weren't bad enough, One of the workers had long dirty-looking stringy and presumably unwashed lately hair sticking out from an equally dirty baseball cap.

The other worker's appearance was fine and his attire consisted of the appropriate Subway uniform. The only problem with this person was that he appeared to have a cold and was wiping his nose on his shirt sleeve.

After all that, I decided that I would never visit that location again but I will continue to eat at the others I go to. I'm calling the home office to file a complaint because there was absolutely no sense in this.

I've always liked eating at Subway, but recently, this one shop near where I work for some reason seemed to go down in quality. Their sandwiches were kinda blahh. It wasn't as good as before, especially when they changed ownership and reduced their prices. Their menu seemed to changed into regular standard stuff than all the sandwiches I really liked. What was going on?? :confused: But this weekened I had the oven-roasted chicken breast with everything on wheat and it was really good. :eat: :liplick:

But I'd really like to go back to Quizno's, those can't be beat.

I used to eat at our Subway all the time, until one time I returned home(I went through the drive-thru) and found a pen wrapped up right next to my sandwich. Yeah, I removed the pen, but the sandwich smelled like warm ink. So I brought it back, and just got a refund, as I had lost my appetite for them.

I've gone back since, but not until after a long while, and then not too often.
I do like the chicken cabenara at Quizno's. And I watch where they put their pens as well.;)

They don't digest well regardless of your age. Meat and cheese have zero fibre and it's probably the cheese that's causing most of your chest problems.
