BF got outvoted by daughter so tonight's dinner run went to Mr. Sub. As I drove in I noticed the billboard which is currently advertising a Triple Meal Deal for $25.99 after 5:00 p.m. When I come in, there's nothing posted anywhere to give any details, which turn out to be a canned or bottled beverage and a bag of chips to go with a Classic sub. One of our three subs wasn't going to be a Classic, so I didn't bother with the deal. You only save about $0.96 and I didn't come in looking for the extras so in my case not really worth it. It would be nice to be able to see what you get without having to wait to place your order before you can ask, though.
Turns out I should have just had the third sub be a Classic anyway. There's no Mediterranean Greek bread, no Mozza Cheddar bread, just white or whole wheat or multigrain. When you order a premium sub and can't get the bread choice you want in a sandwich shop, that's pretty lame, especially on a Saturday evening and it's still hours till close. It's even lamer when a Roast Beef and Cheddar sub has to come without the Cheddar because they don't have it, unless you want some blend of shredded cheese sprinkled on it. The red onion slices and toasty Mediterranean Bread with melted Cheddar cheese over hot beef sure made their billboard photo look good, but that is nowhere near what I ended up with. The tiny diced onion bits with the usual white Mozzarella sliced cheese on the bottom of a cold white bun is a far cry from what I was expecting. I did ask that the Roast Beef and Pizza subs be toasted in the panini press, but the top was barely touched and bottom just marked with black stripes on both of them, and the sandwiches practically freezing - the cheese not the least bit melted, the sauces and meats still cold. The Pizza sub also had to come on white bread, not that I wanted white bread, and when sauce that tastes like it comes from a Ragu jar is what's going on the sandwich, it really does need to be heated properly to get away with it. I had to nuke it three times at 30 seconds a pop at home before I could even begin to make myself eat it. At least my daughter was happy with her run of the mill Assorted (supposed to be cold, with white bread) but next time she will lose if she votes for Mr. Sub.
I usually like to give an extra star for good service, and it wasn't bad, but even her diligence, competence and professionalism couldn't make up for the galactically gross grub that BF and I ended up with because the place can't stock basic ingredients and proper equipment. The poor girl was left to run the place on her own, so between delivery orders coming in on the iPad and the Saturday evening foot traffic, one star it stays.
Not coming back again, noooope nope nope nope nope nope. BF's vote for Quizno's will win, yiiiiip yip yip yip yip yip. read more
