First visit after Covid Lockdown and remodel of this Subway in Wasilla, AK. Used to be occasional…read morecustomer for many years. Like many Restaurants today prices have increased. You be the judge of the value. The Interior is brighter a more attractive. Nicely decorated and better organized. The parking lot is in front of a busy highway (Parks). The restaurant has the same five wood steps up with a wrought iron railing on each side. Parking is free and sufficient unless you are driving more than one large tour bus. I didn't see a handicapped entrance but will correct it if they have one. Nothing in this review is intended to be negative to this particular business location or Subway in general. I and my family have been frequent customers for longer than I can remember but I believe almost 50 years. I am 79 and as long as I can remember there has been a subway in my life. For many years they were the major if not only on the East Coast. Today we have many excellent choices to choose from and some are regional only.
Now to the "Meat" pun intended of this review. Since covid more than the prices have changed at Subway. The menu has changed and has more choices. It was harder to read for this senior 78 with glasses. But it is better organized with bold numbers, catchy names, and better pictures. The individual contents and prices of the sandwiches were what was hard for me to read.
I ordered the "Beast", leg 12", with Parmesan-Jalapeno Bread, toasted with all the vegetables, except Guacamole. I made it a meal with a large fountain drink, and "Miss Vickie's" Jalapeno Chip" I added Oregano, Salt, Black Pepper, and the MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette sauce.
The sandwich featured Pepperoni, Salami, Turkey, Ham, Roast Beef, and my choice of PeperJack Cheese. Seeing my taste preferences?
The ingredients were ample with good portions of double meat. The vegetables were fresh, clean, and favorable. The meat tasted excellent with the flavors of the Pepperoni, Salami, and Roast Beef standing out over the Ham, and Turkey. Not a bad thing as I still taste the others.
The bread was fresh, toasted lightly with the cheese melted nicely, and the meat warm. The Chips were fresh, and crispy, with a strong flavor of Jalapeno. I choose the Aquia Berry XXX Vitamin Water which was strongly flavored, delicious, and healthy with low calories.
The was overall excellent, much better than I remember. The bread was more flavorful and crusty. They have more flavors now. I normally order double meat and it appeared to be equal to before except for the more than double price, $7.50 vs $3.00 on a 12" Sub. The overall price of all the subs has increased but is not excessive.
The young lady who waited on me was patient, friendly, efficient, and attentive to my desire for ingredients and excellent at her duties of making an outstanding Sub.
This renewed design of Subway I believe will give their competitors a run in competition.
It is good for groups, families, seniors, and the military. It has seating for over 30, is clean with bathrooms for customers. If you haven't tried Subway since the end of the Covid lockdown I urge you to give it a try.
