Besides eating, I'm a HUGE fan of NFL football, and I watch every game during the season and the…read moreplayoffs, up to and including the crown glory... Superbowl. For the last three months, I've been seeing Subway commercials advertising the "Comin' on Hot" sandwich, using ghost pepper bread. I detest commercials, and I usually ignore the advertisement, but the "foodie" in me got the best of me, and I couldn't help myself but to succumb... The Colfax Subway restaurant is unique, as it's a "standalone" building, unlike most Subway stores you'll visit. It's located just off busy Interstate 80, and the restaurant receives lots of traffic from the freeway. Besides the truckers, tourists and freeway travelers, this restaurant is a favorite of western Placer County locals who are in the mood for a decent sandwich. From the advertised, "Comin' On Hot" menu, I went with a #34, the "Spicy Nacho Steak" sandwich. The menu describes this sandwich as, "Steak, 2x Cheddar cheese sauce, onions, peppers, jalapeno peppers. Creamy Siracha, SubKrunch toasted." The menu didn't mention the much touted on television "ghost pepper bread." I guess that was in the "SubKrunch?" By my request, I added sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce and olives, as I love to load up a sandwich as much as possible, as veggies are an absolute delight. The sandwich began with the "SubKrunch" roll, which, according to the media advertisements, was ghost pepper bread. The bread roll was fresh and crunchy, with large bites that went "crunch" when I bit into the sandwich. Where were the ghost peppers - ghost peppers are reportedly the hottest chili peppers on the planet - as the bread definitely had a slight "kick," but where was the ghost pepper burn that I was looking for? The sandwich included a smaller size portion of marinated steak, thinly sliced and grilled to perfection. As per the advertisements, Cheddar cheese sauce, Siracha sauce, onions, diced bell pepper and pickled jalapeno pepper slices graced the sandwich. Tomato slices, shredded lettuce and olives were added on my request, as the friendly staff at Subway will make your sandwich to your order. With my first bite, I was rewarded with a taste sensation, as the meat, cheese sauce, veggies, and the ghost pepper bread all worked together to made for a great sandwich. But... ghost pepper bread? ... where was the heat? Yes, there was a bit of a "kick" to the sandwich, but it wouldn't have been enough to offend a grade school girl, much less a seasoned veteran of Mexican dining like your author. This sandwich was delicious to the taste, but when it came to "ghost pepper" was as tame as your grandmother's little kitten on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I absolutely laugh at the difference between the sandwich showcased in television commercials, and the "real" sandwich that you actually get at the restaurant. The difference is stunning... if you've ever seen the advertisements on television, you know what I mean, and I'll let you draw your own conclusion. $10.29, plus state sales tax for a 6-inch, highly advertised, custom made sub sandwich. Hmmmm... the price of admission seems to be on the steep... way too steep side of the sandwich fence for me. It is what it is, and now my curiosity has been satisfied, and I now can watch the NFL playoffs, along with the Superbowl knowing that I've enjoyed a Subway "Comin' In Hot" sandwich, with ghost pepper bread.

Their burgers are the freshest and at this price point, nothing comes close! I would venture to say that some restaurants can't beat their burgers! Their burgers use fresh ground beef, all the veggies are super fresh. I usually get the hamburger (no cheese because this girl has to watch her figure), with regular onions and peppers. I like their regular fries! My family likes fries animal style. The line can be looong but they do the best they can, always with a smile! Their decor is retro fast good aesthetic with lots of red and white gingham print. Every restaurant has a similar vibe, down to the palm trees out front!

Anthony was skirting around the floor staying busy, anytime he was near the front door he would hold it for somebody either coming or going, I heard him ask one of the patrons if he could grab their order and also asked someone if he could refill their drink. Another patron sitting close to us pointed out 'you just can't get customer service like that nowadays'. This guy was just above and beyond normal customer service. He sets the bar pretty darn high for his other coworkers to match. Kudos for Anthony and his superiors for a job well done.

The drink machine is self-serve and this outfit has their own regular and low cal pink lemonade, which I tried and is good.

The cashier said it was on the screen and should be out shortly. At 10:31, I had not received my order and I asked how much longer and that I could just cancel my order because I had somewhere to be. There were 3 employees standing in a crowd in the back staring at the kitchen, and the cashier asked them how much longer and he said "when it's ready." When I pulled into the parking lot there were 4 cars in the drive thru and one person eating in the lobby so I know it wasn't too busy. I told the cashier I would just cancel and then out walks somebody with my order at 10:35. All I ordered was a large hash brown, egg white grill, and medium sweet tea. 21 mins for two items is insane, I could have drove to the Roseville location and been treated way better. As I was leaving the person in the lobby said this location is the worst and I have to agree, will not be back.

There was a good amount of outdoor seating along with a few tables inside as well. The vibe there was pretty lively and fun, almost reminded me of old-time burger joints. After ordering my Spicy Johnny burger and onion rings, it only took about 15 minutes to receive it, which is understandable because the food is fresh and made to order! At first glance, it worried me that the burgers seemed slightly small and I was worried I would still be hungry afterwards. However, I was decently satisfied after eating (although I do still wish it was slightly bigger). The burger was packed with flavor and extremely juicy. The spice on it packed a decent punch that satisfied my tastebuds! And the onion rings were great! They weren't hot when I received them, but they were still crunchy.

It took about 15 mins for my order but worth it for fresh food. For the sauces, they offered a variety including spicy thousand island, ranch, and etc. The burgers and onions rings were high quality and delicious. I was wondering if the burgers came with sides since they are in the pricier side, but it doesn't. But after eating my meal, I was pretty satisfied and everything tasted great, that the prices were justified. From photos, the burgers seemed small, but was happy to find out the burgers were a good size. I ordered the New Fashion and added cheese to it, plus family size onion rings. The burger was very filling and tasted really fresh and flavorful without being overpowering. But I do wish there was more lettuce than just one piece. The onion rings were made perfectly and wasn't overly greasy. After my meal, I went back to order a small ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. I love how they include this cute little plastic anti-drip cone holder! Overall, the entire experience was good and everything was delicious. I'd come back!
