Subway

This might be the worst subway I’ve ever been to. The sandwiches that they make are by far inferior to any other location I’ve been to. Good luck fighting through the panhandlers to get to the front door.
No thanks!

Worst service of any subway ever. The dude (Marco) barely would open his mouth when he spoke, causing me to ask «what?» Several times. He certainly didn’t love his job by any stretch. Subway, start hiring people with some personality.

I can’t believe I’m writing a Unilocal review for a subway but here it goes! This one is top notch! They are fast and friendly… They play good music. The food was fresh and they don’t skimp on the veggies. My receipt said Derrick was my sandwich artist so props to Derrick!

I come here all the time and the same woman is always there to help me. She’s beyond nice and they always make the most delicious sammys for me. I don’t know why this place has bad reviews because everyone I’ve encountered there is awesome.

Service sucked when I went on 8÷5÷15. The two employees there did the crappiest job of fulfilling our order that I’ve ever seen at a Subway. Mistakes, malaise, forgetfulness, also high prices for low quality meat… even the «premium carved turkey» was actually just formed bits of pressed turkey meat, like their «chicken breast».
Employees did not seem to care about providing any level of basic customer service and certainly did not want to be there. Which makes me wonder: if they don’t even want to be there, why am I there? Won’t be coming back in the future.

I am very surprised at all the bad reviews here. I go there frequently, and everything has been fine. The other day the cute little girl behind the counter greeted me like a long, lost relative. The sandwich was fine, everything on it I asked for. Nothing more, nothing less. Sure they could put on a little more meat and cheese but maybe they’d raise the prices. 6 $ is O.k. with me for a foot long sandwich. If you are looking for bigger and better try Gus’s or The Grinder and pay closer to 10 $.

I came in on Thursday, November 13, 2014, around 7:30 p.m. to get a sandwich. That’s all I wanted. I didn’t want any stupid jokes thrown at me by the employees, I didn’t want any snarky comments, I just wanted a sandwich.
When I walked in, there was a very indecisive girl in front of me with a large order, which is fine, I get it. They had two guys there, who thought they were doing a standup comedy not making sandwiches. One was helping this girl to make a decision while having a conversation about where she works. Oh, let’s listen to that, I thought. I want to know everything about these people’s lives. Wait, nope, just kidding, I want a sandwich.
Several minutes later, when the other guy finally made a six-​inch sandwich for seemingly his friend (under a question, not sure) who was before the indecisive girl, he slowly started to make his way back to (I thought) make my sandwich. Keep in mind that during this whole time, which was several minutes, I had to listen to jokes my way about how I’m waiting here for a sandwich and it’s taking a long time, which is really annoying, but whatever. I have patience, I am hungry, I want my sandwich.
Finally, after what seemed like slow-​motion, the guy starts putting on new gloves. He is not even looking at me, he is just chatting away and making jokes. Oh, jolly. Then when he put on gloves I come closer to start saying my order. The guy says, «Oh, wait, not yet, I have to do the meatballs.» First reaction, was «Huh?» Second one was me turning around and leaving because I don’t have to wait on these primadonnas. Once I turned around the guy started saying that he was kidding. Was he? One can argue.
What was more outrageous though is when I said «goodbye,» one guy yelled at me «Hey, come back» which I had to turned around and smile away a goodbye once again. To which I received a «wow» from another employee.
No apologies, no respect, no treating me like a customer.
Hey, guys, you had ONE job… ONE job: to make a sandwich. We’re not friends, we’re not hanging out, I just wanted to pay you to make a sandwich.

Food is good, store clean but very unfriendly employees. Didn’t even get a welcome to subway, wow. What is this world coming to

Worst subway I’ve ever been to in my life. Thanks to the chick who seemed like she smoked some crack before her shift started. Told her what I wanted and she goes. «ummmmm what did you say I wanted I forgot» lol from that point I knew it was all down hill. My sub was all soggy and stuff was sloppy… never going back to that one again.

It’s Subway… it’s good, It’s fresh and its totally affordable. I mean there is not much to add about this location. Their customer service is ok… nothing over the top but fine.

I’ve been coming to this Subway location for over a year now and it’s pretty much my go-​to Subway as I pass at least two Subways on the way to this one. What makes it so great? For one, the staff. Their new manager, Charles, has a great personality and will make sure your sandwich is on point and just how you wanted it. The rest of the crew are very friendly and there’s been multiple times where I’ve came in undecided on a sandwich and they’ve helped me out by making suggestions so I’ll walk out with the best sub ever!

something bad has happened here. I think there are new owners? Service is bad, the bread was stale and the dining room needed to be cleaned up.
The meat and veggies were okay, but how hard is it to screw that up!
must. find. better. sandwich shop.

Came here the other night with kids in tow after working out next door. Kids like a simple 12 inch sub, Roast Beef on french with shredded cheese and mayo. 2 people working the counter and 6 people in front of me, 20 minutes later it’s our turn. Guess what they’re completely out of Roast Beef! Oh wait we can make one but not two, so my daughter has to choose something else which you know is hard for kids after they’ve already made up their mind. She orders a salami and cheese instead. The person behind the counter who said she was the supervisor apologized and said she had been there 10 hours without a break and they were short staffed.

I don’t know why this place has bad ratings and reviews. Out of all the Subways in there area… This is by far the best in my opinion. Its clean, the staff is friendly and my food turns out the way I want it. I have never had a bad experience here. Maybe because I regularly visit this place.

They must have fired all the rude and incompetent staff because I have never experienced bad customer service. As for the food, it’s Subway… No different than any other. It’s near work, it’s relatively inexpensive and healthier than a lot of other options.

holy fuckin shit when are they gonna shut down this subway? the people that, oh excuse me. these aren’t people, they’re fuckin idiots. the fuckin idiots that work here dont deserve a job in an economy like this. they should be homeless. why isnt natural selection doing its work here? i dunno, sometimes it screws up. its a damn shame there’s so many unemployed san diegans out there, and fuckin idiots that work here can get a job over them. if they worked for me, the only job i’d give them is cleaning the floor with their tongues while i give them 40 lashes. this subway shouldnt exist in a place like la mesa. maybe national city, but not la mesa. natural selection screwed up bigtime here.

Im sorry everyone else who’s written a review has had a negative experience. This is the only subway ive been to that has ever been friendly to me. They always greet me when I come through the door and am usually in and out in about 6 to 10 min. I usually go around 11 am, or 4pm. I don’t know what the staff might be like before or after those hours.

This is the worst Subway on earth. I grew up mere blocks from here, so I’ve got years of experience to back up my opinion. So I haven’t been here in a couple years, and I was visiting my mom, so I thought «what the heck?», and went in to get breakfast and lunch.
I was the only customer in the store and there were two employees and it took approximately 3 minutes before I was even greeted. Wow. So I stated my sandwich preferences, an egg and cheese muffin, and a sweet onion chicken. It took the sandwich artist approximately 5 minutes just to get the protein and cheese on the bread. I would chalk it up to «hey, maybe he’s new» except that I’m standing there telling him EVERY SINGLE THING TO PUT ON. So they make it in and out of the oven and I tell the gentleman twice that I want avocado on the muffin. (I get the egg white in anticipation of adding the avocado). So he cuts open an avocado, looks at me, shrugs and says «they’re all too hard». Ok, whatever. Not his fault. So we move on. He does not ask what vegetables I want, so I think, «okay, I’ll begin.» So I tell him what vegetables I want on the sandwiches and he SLOWLY complies after giving me an «are ya crazy?» look when I asked for some veggies on my muffin. This takes approximately 7 minutes. I’m not exaggerating. I would almost understand, except that as I’ve previously stated, THERE IS A 2:1 EMPLOYEE TO CUSTOMER RATIO. By the time I get to the cash register I am painfully aware that I will now be late for work because this whole process is approaching the 20 minute mark, so I just want to get out. The icing on the cake was when he rang up the transaction and charged me for a premium breakfast sandwich with avocado and full price for the 12-​inch, even though a large sign clearly states that this sub is $ 5 during the month of October. I didn’t have time to correct him so I bit my tongue, paid for my «premium» subs and bolted.
Neither was even vaguely warm, and the breakfast sandwich was disgusting. This is a sandwich I order at my usual Subway all the time, and it is delicious, so I have no idea what special magic they possess that he does not, but I’m not going back to this Subway ever again.
So in closing, the employees here are rude, slow, incompetent and don’t even make a good sandwich. One star because no stars isn’t an option. Go to the one on La Mesa Blvd. instead.

Saying this subway is horrible and rude is an understatement. I came here with a Marine after a PT session we had. The fat lady behind the counter asks us if we were together. We replied we’re going to be paying separately. She again asks if we were together. Again we replied, yes but we are going to be paying separately. She finally asks us a third time and raised her voice «ARE YOU GUYS TO-​GET-​HER» We finally say yes we came in together but again we are paying sep-​par-​rate-​ly and she goes ok thats all I was trying to ask. ooo k kinda weird.
So my buddy orders first and she seems to give him some attitude, when it was my turn to order. I asked her what the price difference was between the 6″ combo compared to the foot long. She gives me a weird look and asks what are you trying to ask? I again ask her Ok how much is the 6″ combo compared to the footlong combo? she gives me a dirty look with a snobby attitude and goes WHAT are you saying?. Now my friend and the lady in line both look at me with the same look wondering what miss sandwich artists problem is. When she finally understood my question she replies with. «I don’t know!» When it finally came tine for us to pay. She tried ringing us up on the same tab. (Hmmmm I could of sworn we told her a few times in the beginning we were paying separately)
Worse Subway. to this day I have not stepped foot inside this location nor will I ever go in there.

** Visited Wednesday 1÷26÷11 around 5pm **
Let me first make it clear that I don’t hate Subway. I hate THIS Subway!
I normally make an effort to take my lunch breaks anywhere BUT here. But on this particular day, I was car-​less and it’s within walking distance from my place of employment. Plus I hadn’t been here in a while and the staff is ever revolving, so maybe they have upgraded since my last visit?
Maybe not.
I would have been better off at the 7 – 11 a few doors down.
When I walked in there’s a HUGE window cling stating any two foot-​long subs are $ 5 each after 4pm. I’m trying to be healthy so I figure I can save a couple bucks and a couple calories by buying lunch and dinner at the same time.
Working in retail, I know exclusions always apply, so I get the run down from the «sandwich artist» behind the counter. She tells me the offer excludes Premium and Double Meat sandwiches. So I order a Steak and Cheese sandwich off the Select Menu and a Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken sandwich off of the Classic Menu.
I guess she misheard me and thought I ordered a Mustard Sub because that’s exactly what I got. BOTH times. Even after she doused the first sandwich and I asked for very light mustard on the second one, SPLAT!!! Mustard Sub times two! I wasn’t about to ask her to make it again after the death glare I got from across the sneeze guard. I’d rather have a Mustard Sub than a Spit Sub.
With trepidation I proceeded to the register where I was again mad-​dogged over my decline of the offer to convert my Mustard Subs into Mustard Sub meals. When I get my total, it’s almost $ 15!
«Oh, no thank you, I didn’t want the meals, just the sandwiches.»
«That IS just the sandwiches.»
«Um. .. . What happened to the $ 5 each after 4pm?»
«You got a Philly Cheese Steak and a Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken.»
«I ordered the Steak and Cheese because I was told the Philly Cheese Steak didn’t qualify for the offer.»
The cashier glared at me for a few more seconds before finally deciding it was better to sell me my order at the correct price than try to argue or (God forbid) have to make my sandwich again, as ordered!
«Whatever,» She muttered as she fixed my total and swiped my card, never making eye contact again as she tossed my card back on the counter along with a receipt and pen.
With all of the other sandwich places in a one mile radius, there is NO reason to ever cross the thresh hold of this hate cave of manipulated «turkey-​based» meat products again. EVER.
