Probably the best experience I've ever had at a Subway.
I used to go all the time. Almost as fast as fast food, and healthier- well, your choice, but if you pile on the veggies it's not bad. Prices were reasonable, most locations the service was good, and of course they were everywhere, and there didn't used to be much competition.
Then they dropped my favorite sub, and prices went up, quality went down, service was spotty, and I just stopped going. Sweetie used to love it, and then they changed their turkey or something and she gave it up to. There's more competition, chain competition, too, with better offerings, so on the rare occasions I got a sub that wasn't at a local or pizza place, it was at Jersey Mike's, or very rarely another place at random.
Today it was handy, and I have heard their meats are better, and as we pulled up we saw the footlong churro- so we knew K was getting that, if nothing else, because she loves churros. And she said she'd never had a sub before, which might be true, or might be lost in the mists of time.
They have a small kid's menu, so she got a ham sub, and picked out her veggies. They even have a shaker of parm, and just that would have won her over. They weren't busy on a Sunday afternoon, and the clerk was super patient and helpful. Took care of her, and put up with me hemming and hawing since I had no idea what to order anymore. I went with their "new" Italian sub.
Got home and: it was pretty good. Bread is the same as I remember. Meat was pretty good and piled on. Veggies were fresh (neither of us got tomatoes, they looked plasticky, but the other stuff was fine.) The churro, which he heated up before we left, was big. And a little soft and doughy, but it was probably crispy right after being heated. She liked it.
I've finally weaned her off McDonald's. She'll probably want to go to Subway again. And again. I'll have to find a new favorite sub, but they're at least decent, so I should survive. A little pricey, at $11 for two six-inchers, but that's the new reality. read more
