I know, I know, I don't usually review these chain places but just couldn't resist this time. I was trying to eat at Sweet Tomatoes and found the one on 28 in Falmouth closed, so I drove up to this one to find it only serves dinner! Arrrggghhhhh!! Hungry and sick of getting out the car to find closed places, I walked the 2 doors down to Subway figuring I'll just get a quick sub to quell the hunger pains. I ordered one of the $5 cold cut specials, since I wouldn't trust anything cooked and I know the tuna is 9 lives. The polite woman behind the counter told me all she had was a 6" mulitgrain roll, would that be allright? So she made my cold cut mini sub out of bologna only (I guess that's synonomous for cold cut). I was overjoyed to see she only charged me $3.50 as I was expecting the $5.00 charge for the half sub.
Some other folks came in behind me to order and she informed them they had no bread and that I just ordered the last roll! The rolls were just put in the oven and would be about 15minutes, she told them they could sit and wait. I felt like a bear who took the last picnic basket as they stared at my lil' sub and one was even a small child taken right from the Unicef commercial. I slinked out and ate my bologna sandwhich in the car fearing an iminent stoning at any moment by the angry mob. On the positive side, the faithful people who waited probably got nice, fresh rolls for their bologna and Friskies sandwiches. On the positive side, the place was clean and well lit, the ingredients looked fresh and the lady was pleasant and polite although acted as though it was perfectly normal that they had no bread. You may think its unbelievable a sub shop would have no rolls, but I once went to a Burger King that had no beef! It was the same reaction from the staff; "Oh, sorry sir, we're out of beef right now, but have plenty of chicken sandwiches". This experience after striking out at 2 Sweet Tomatoes, brightened my day and gave me a laugh in an otherwise dreary day. Note to Sweet Tomatoes, try opening for lunch, you'd make a killing next door to this place! read more
