Subway

ssayre - 18-4-2016 at 09:54 AM

I travel around for work but mainly work in a large urban and suburban areas. Whenever I find myself in rural areas I'll take the opportunity to get a sandwich at subway. More meat, better service, better overall sandwich construction. I look around at the locals eating and think they probably don't even realize. :P

you need to get out of Indy more often

I haven't stepped foot in a Subway since they raised their prices and got rid of $5 footlongs.. They completely lost an almost daily customer..

They will convert any sandwich to a salad as well. Ate there today.

I ate at Subway once and all I can say is NEVER again!
The bread was so dry it would fall apart and tasted like it had been lying there for a week before they warmed it up. The tiny bit of filling in it was almost equally dry and I really struggled to get the thing down my throat, it was so bad I almost chocked on it!:o
I filled my cup with sprite only to find out the machine had actually put out water!? Total rip-off, too. I paid like 12 euros for a #@%$#!ty sandwich and "sprite".:mad::mad::mad: Seriously the only positive thing I noticed was that the chicken seemed to be of good quality.

Hmmm... My wife makes our sandwiches every morning :D;)

Maybe they don't do it right when you pay with Euros. The bread is baked there daily and is always awesome here.

That is the standard but many stores outside the US and even Franchises stateside "bake out" the night before and keep it overnight.. It's still pretty fresh but you can tell the difference.. What you smell in the morning baking is the dinner run. If you doubt it, go into one 2 hours before closing and smell "tomorrow's" bread baking.

I didn't stop Subway because of the food.. Their price hike is what drove me away. A 20% price hike and calling it a "savings was going too far. It ate into my Kite money too much.

Don't get them in Japan.

There's one store I used to go to, two or three times a week when I was a school teacher. Got to know the ladies, so I get epic stuffed sandwiches.

When we go to the other 2 stores in this whole state, we get EXACTLY the prescribed amount and NO MORE. Ask for extras tomato, say, and you get a whole extra slice. Keep asking for more and they fall back on the rule book.

One of the really sucky things about this country is the inability to use their own brain.

Dude, you need to find the nearest Jimmy John's.

BeamerBob - 18-4-2016 at 10:55 PM

I find Jimmy Johns pretty bland, but the right side of the menu is ok and better than the left. The hot peppers make it palatable.

Cochise Kiter - 18-4-2016 at 11:09 PM

BeamerBob, the smells are free! What more could you possibly want? :)

Once you eat a Firehouse sub....you will throw rocks at Subway.

I can't agree more. Firehouse blows away subway.

BUT DiBellas is twice as good as firehouse. Absolutely phenomenal sandwiches.

Demoknight - 20-4-2016 at 07:24 AM

Club on a sub! Firehouse is THE BEST sub you can get anywhere. I couldn't agree more. That being said, I do frequent Subway as a budget option, and because since moving to Chicago, I had a rude awakening when I found out that they do not have Firehouse subs here. Just JJ's and Subway. Potbelly is decent, better than both JJ's and Subway, but a little pricey.

Here in Aiken, SC area, aka the"CSRA" we have Substation ll's. All sandwiches are way overstuffed.

I get the "scrap" sandwich. All meats, ends and pieces. Yummy good. Always exciting and tasty too.

Bobby, look up Capriotti's in Vegas. We used to have one here and there isn't a better sandwich. The BOB is turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce!

I'm a frequent visitor at Capriottis. We like the Bobbie and the hot Italian sandwiches. Probably better than all mentioned here that I've tried. Love firehouse subs as well.
