Skye could not have been more courteous and professional in all phases of her job. Greeting, meal prep, attitude, everything. A genuine pro. Subway is fortunate to have Skye. Thank you for making our day brighter. read more

Ordered for online pickup around 7:20pm 08/08/26 after 15 minutes it was still not ready. So I had to sit there and wait another 15 minutes for her to make 2 sandwiches. She was more interested in talking to her friend that was in there instead of working. If we're gonna hire young people to work than maybe they shouldn't be left alone in a store to work. Don't see how you can consider this customer service when you're waiting over half an hour for 2 sandwiches to get made! read more

Besides eating, I'm a HUGE fan of NFL football, and I watch every game during the season and the playoffs, 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. read more

They didn't have our online order ready, then refused to start it as person after person came in and we waited with our 3 small kids, unable to "get in line"because they "have to help in store customers first". We were in the store too! The worker couldn't cancel the order, nor could we cancel online. What shoukd have been 2 minutes became 45!!! Will never order subway again, especially from colfax. read more

Employee was extremely rude today, manager was sitting in back doing nothing. Employee doesn't know how to punch in sandwiches on the menu and way overcharged us. I understand prices have gone up, but $47 for 2 sandwiches and a large drink? We could have gone across the street to a sweet sit down for cheaper. Never going to this subway again. I feel the only reason they are still in business is the overcharging and some manager has money to keep it going. I'd prefer a small family owned sandwich shop in our town. Apparently not all of colfax is sweet and polite. read more

Subway - Receipt of overcharge. Bf wanted spicy Italian with buffalo chicken, not a salami sub (she typed it in weird) - Sandwiches Near Me - Colfax, California

6/18/23-4:30pm we stop at the bus on this subway sandwich store. The server who serve us was so RUDE. I don't know if she understand diversity . We bought sandwich , other one was suppose to be everything except onion, the other one has no jalapeño. It's cleared that she suppose to listen them first before she talk because she wants to finish everything all at once. She can't understand because she is not focus on what she's doing. For your info: that lady who works with you at this time is not NICE. She should know that customers are always right. I guess she is a racist. She needs more understanding and she should know that all people who lives in this world are not Americans alone. There's also a migrants who just came in America. She should learn the word PATIENCE. Service is the key. She needs training. read more

On our way to Truckee area we stopped by this Colfax location as it was right off the hwy80 freeway, easy off and back on freeway. Store was busy there were about 4 people in front of me and people were still coming in. They work pretty quickly as didn't take long to get our food prepared. Our sandwiches were made to order, My husband ordered the Spicy Italian and I ordered the sweet onion teriyaki. The breads and condiments were fresh and everything tasted great. We ordered a kids meal ham, cheese with tomatoes sandwich for our granddaughter she really enjoyed her sandwich. They didn't have any kids toys and offered a cookie which was okay she didn't know the difference and loved the cookie treat for her dessert. My husband and I also bought a cookie too because I love their macadamia nut cookies they are so delicious and fresh. I was surprised their drink machine was open for patrons to use as all the fast food places I have been too they are closed off. I didn't see them clean the debit machine or counter where they put your bag cleaned after each person. This is usually common practice during COVID. All employees were wearing masks and gloves and they have two rows of tables in front of all counters for distancing from food counters but not the register. No eating inside due to COVID. Since we were not eating here I didn't check if tables offered outside. I I read more

We got stopped on 80 in Colfax because of weather. We parked in the Subway parking lot to wait and decided to get something from Subway and use the restroom. The person who waited on us said bathroom was closed. I asked if they closed bathrooms because of the road closure and she said yes I said well that was nice way to treat customers she said oh well! We left without ordering food!! Pretty crappy way to run business. Never go to subway again. read more

Subway - a view of a parking lot from inside a car - Sandwiches Near Me - Colfax, California

Stopped by here on the way home from work the other day, bcz I had no food at home. I ordered a #11 Subway Club. The price was $18.49 just for the sandwich before tax. And people wonder why I don't support local business. Eventually this place will go out of business bcz of their greed. read more

My family was driving towards Tahoe and this Subway was right off the freeway, next to a gas station, and had a decently clean bathroom (LOL) - so they're getting five stars from us. We visited two weeks before Christmas, on a weekend. They had 5-6 employees, 2 making sandwiches, 1 as a cashier, and 2-3 in the back ? We were served at a reasonable rate, given there was 4 people ahead of us. We opted for 3 footlongs to share with each other - they did honor our app coupon so we were able to get each footlong for $5.99! Very satisfied. read more

Bread was hard and tough and meat had after taste . I was worried for a moment ! They have signs for freshly sliced however it's the same as I recall from the past just stacked in containers . Even the chips seemed stale . Date was Dec 2023 so who knows . read more

If your patience needs to be tested and your not is a hurry for who knows what you will end up with this is the place for you. Waited in line for 25 mins to find out they are out of pretty everything excpt Italian and turkey. Ugh read more

So today was unbelievable at this Subway! My daughter, boyfriend and I after a hard day of work go to this Subway. Tired and hungry. We order and decided to dine in , relax and enjoy our meal. As soon as we set down and unwrapped our food one of the employees started to sweep up dust. There was so much dust It was floating around , you could even taste it in the air. It was starting to make us sneezing, runny nose and allergies. It was getting on our food. We try to Indore the situation, but it was more than we could stand. I kindly asked the staff. I said please! I was not trying to be rude, but if she could please stop sweeping until we were done with our food. She replied that she had a schedule to get her work done and that she was going to stay on schedule. I told her that we all have allergies and that it is affecting us. She told me to go outside and eat. Well.......we all know right now is allergy season so we could not go outside to eat. My daughter, especially suffers from seasonal allergies and sweeping up all that dust in our faces, and on our food was something my daughter just could not take. I had to drive her to the emergency room. We all had red eyes, but she got the worst of it. We were there for four hours. I do not understand why somebody would be so inconsiderate and rude to somebody's situation especially when they tell them we have allergies and they continue sweeping! Not a care in the world or never any consideration, only rudeness and sticking to her stubbornness. I can understand cleaning but to clean at 5:30 something that could be done before or after work, when they do not have costumes dining or maybe a wet mop. Please! We picked up and left everything! Food was no good. The rudest person ever, no class ! To bad. I have a lot of friends and family here and everyone in the hospital when my daughter was telling them she could not breathe, why and where. All her friends at Colfax high school. That will not see her in school tomorrow. read more

Subway - Veggie Sammy - Sandwiches Near Me - Colfax, California

I have stopped at this Subway twice in the past three months while visiting Colfax. Both times service was excellent and the sandwiches prepared just as efficiently and quickly as any of the many Subways I have patronized over the years. Very convenient location while traveling on I-80 to/or from Donner or Lake Tahoe. As you exit eastbound I-80 at the Colfax exit you are facing Subway, just can't miss it, plus quick entrance back to the freeway to continue your journey. Plenty of parking, too. Student employees, all smiles, and great attitudes. I'll definitely be stopping in again when traveling along I-80. read more

Owner was so rude...may be they think its a tourist spot and customer satisfaction doesn't matter. This is one of the main reason I stopped going to sub way, I tried today after few yrs, experienced same kind of rude behavior, overall subway chain doesn't train franchisee owners how to behave with customers. They treat customers like shit. Employees working there will be good, but these manager/franchise owners behave like bosses on the customers. I WILL STOP GOING TO SUBWAY. read more

It's subway- not much to complain about. This is a small town and so yes, often service is a bit slower than some people driving through might be used to, but not incredibly so. I have never found the owners anything but respectful and I have frequented this place 10+ times. Also, you can order on the phone or online and have expedited service. read more

Place doesn't honor the coupons sent to us in the mail. Girls are rude at counter. Why send coupons if you can't use them?! No good Subway in Colfax read more

Nice workers but they wouldn't take coupons except in four of the worst sandwiches like egg and cheese, baloney, meatball. They said it's because this outlet is "privately owned." The private owner was there last time and puts barely anything in the sandwich. Mostly bread. This owner is cheap and giving the Subway brand a bad reputation. Will not return. It's a ripoff. read more

It's a Subway. Nothing special. Good food when your hungry. The Manager however was rude and uninviting which is the reason for this review. Avoid this location. He was that bad. read more

Worst Subway EVER! The restaurant was dirty and unkempt. The bathrooms were out-of-service bathrooms. We ordered two of the standard soups... and ended up with 1 1/2 cups of the bottom-of-the-barrel soup. When we complained that we were paying for 2 soups and had only received 1 1/2, they did not offer a refund. The service was so poor and the restaurant so dirty that we could not eat the food! The kids apples were rotten, the restaurant staff argued and the patron after me slipped on something that was spilled in the entry-way! All in all... the worst Subway I've ever visited. read more

Can't really complain. When we started going to Tahoe more frequently, we always found a Subway on the way to the resorts for our lunch as resort food seem to always be expensive. $5 footlongs, you can't really beat that price, but of course it isn't quality. I've started making my own sandwiches, but if we ever need a place to stop to buy lunch on the way to Alpine, then this is the place. read more

It's alright... ended up coming here to use the restroom and refuel while stuck at this exit for 3-4hrs on the way to Tahoe/Reno. They were hella busy that day because everyone and their moms were stuck here, it took me a good half an hour to use the restroom because of the line. And another good 45-60min to get sandwiches since the line just snaked inside the building. Granted it was super busy, the service was pretty decent and they tried their best to get everyone's orders finished so they could keep the line moving. They were nice enough to let me add an order when I got to the register, since my friend texted me to add another sandwich to our order. The sandwiches themselves were regular Subway sandwiches, I mean what more is there left to be said about that? Cheap, fast food. Things to note: 1. If you get stuck at this rest stop, don't wait if you want to use this restroom because the line will be cray. 2. They also have outlets by the side door if you end up needing to charge your smartphone if you've been at this stop for way too long. read more

Apparently the coupon was only good for veggies and some balony type meat according to employee and a homemade sign. Seemed a little made up to me so I asked who made up this rule. Employee responded 'the manager'. I asked for a phone number to complain but employee said to Complain to corporate. I asked if they has a phone. Peggy said yes but they don't answer the phone anyways. I told employee that her responses were not ok and she just giggled. A truely pathetic customer experience. Needless to say, won't be going here again. Plenty of other professionally run food joints around. read more

I would recommend that the Management have a discussion with everyone especially the family members that work at this location.. PLEASE STOP CHEATING YOUR CUSTOMERS OUT OF PRODUCTS .. Start smiling more and not just treating clusters like a dollar bill.. ALOT OF US LOVE YOU GUYS but we finally had to say it.. We want to support your business but we need to know y'all are willing to give us your BEST AS WELL .. $10 for a veggie and not even enough fresh vegetables in it and yes I do come here often read more

Fast, friendly, got the order right. But VERY dirty dining area. Maybe understaffed this day, but a clean dining room should be a priority.

Horrible service. Would not honor coupon employee was making up terms to redeem it that were not on coupon.

The high school girls that work here are not all too bright. Making a sandwich requires little to no education, yet somehow they messed up. First off, when I'm ordering a veggie delite sandwich (basically a salad in a bun) give me more then a couple shreds of iceberg lettuce and 2 thin strips of bell pepper. I watched as she gave me 4 olive halves and TONS of mustard when I said lite mustard. Secondly, watching her try to put avocado on as sandwich was nerve wracking. She took a sharp paring knife and started hacking away at the soft avocado in her hand. She ended up throwing away 2 avocado halves that still had plenty of avocado left in them and my boyfriend ended up with avocado skin in his sandwich. The worst subway ever. read more

This is our ideal Tahoe daytrip lunch stop. It is open early enough that you can get there, get food, and still get to the Donner Summit resorts before the lifts start running. The service has always been friendly, and the sandwiches are what you'd expect from a Subway. read more

Not the worst subway ever. Sometimes they charge you tax, sometimes not. They also overcharged on a $5 footlong. It's a small town after all. read more

Good subway, showed up at 8:30 to get lunch for our road trip. Mandy greeted us and asked what she could get for us. She was clean, followed our requests for our sandwiches and she was organized. Definitely one of the better experiences at subway than I've had in a while. read more

Blah...just another Subway. If not for it's 'on-the-way-to-Tahoe" location right off the exit (135) I doubt it would exist. The employees are obviously dedicated to the paycheck not the customers, (weird, where does the paycheck come from?) the place is just barely clean & unless you really need that meatball sub...go down the road to Dine & Dash. read more

On our way to the snow and this was the ideal pit stop for restrooms and a quick bite. This location is busy! The line moved really quickly though and the sandwich artists were very friendly. The bathrooms were gross but that's to be expected for a frequently used rest stop. I'd stop here again. read more

We have lived here two years now and the older lady has never changed. She is grumpy and rolls her eyes while you try to decide what you want. She's even made a comment about "You've been here before, you dont know what you want." Last nite it was 15 minutes until closing time, the door was unlocked and the open sign still on. When I walked in she was counting her money and yelled at me "We are closed!" Skip subway and just go across the freeway to beach hut deli. read more
