Disclaimer: this review comes from a yelper that has been to numerous subway locations in California. Add 2 stars if you've never been to one in California.
Wow, where to begin with this particular location - ah yes, let's start with value (pricing). I'm used to the $5 footlong deals, but this Subway has $6+ footlongs. Secondly, although I've seen how badly the UCSD Subway skimps on veggies and condiments when it's lunch time, but this subway tops them! I opted for 6" subs, which ranged from $4.25 to $5.50 + tax. I'm a bit surprised that they didn't offer bacon or avocado for extra $, but maybe they just don't have it or forget that they do. Sometimes bacon can save a mediocre sandwich..
As for food, it all tasted lackluster. They didn't even have the 9-grain omega-3 bread, which is my favorite one! The bread wasn't as tasty as I've had in other subways, and even though the bread was toasted, it wasn't even crispy, and didn't stay warm 5 minutes later. A cold and soggy spicy Italian doesn't taste good. Oh yea, they also dumped a bunch of salt and pepper, when usually people just want a small dash of it.
Service is probably this location's biggest downfall. I've had to order multiple sandwiches at Subways in California, and the workers are all trained to work efficiently in order to keep the line moving. I ordered 3 different 6" subs, but it took much longer than normal for the employees to make each sandwich. One sandwich in the toaster at a time?! At least 3 subs can fit in there! That's how they do it back home, and it saves so much time. Lastly, sometimes I may talk fast, but there aren't that many different sandwiches to remember. I had to repeat my order 3 times to the cashier, and he repeated it back to me wrong. It seems like he punched it in correctly though, so thats what matters.
Overall, worse Subway I've been to. The employees are very nice, but too poorly trained. Subway is generally a fast-food joint, except with healthier choices. Subway needs to pick up it's game, or it'll end up closing like the Quizno's next to Tesoro. Time for a bathroom break, since my stomach is lurching in pain from this meal... Aughjjjnhgg read more
