Subway

I never comment on these things but the people who prepare the sandwiches are rude, there’s a better one down the street will be going there from now on

They have good local variety but the servers are bad. I mean too bad. They are also mean to you. And they don’t listen to what you have to say.

Worst subway ever and rude staff as well. Watch out for this guy named Khalil in their staff. He is worst of all. I am not going back to this location ever.

Worst subway ever!!! The workers worked hella slow like they didnt get paid for the job. I spent 15mins waiting for a freaking subway!!! Definitely not worth the wait.

Sometimes, when you’re in a hurry and in a strange place, a national chain just fits the bill. We stopped by here for a quick lunch on a Monday before heading over to the Statue of Liberty. Given the location, the size of the queue and number of tables, I was surprised how empty it was; we must have been just ahead of the office-​lunch crowd. The location was clean, and the service quick. Not much more I can ask for in a lunch spot.

Worst Subway I’ve ever seen. 85 degrees inside (I saw the thermostat) with loud and offensive music.
I walked out and never tasted the food, so I can’t comment on that.
There are other options nearby for the same budget.

Best deal for the price, love the meatballs in the Italian cheese bread and its perfect for the on the go times.

There is a huge reason why this place has a low rating and it’s because this Subway chain is absolutely horrible. I tend to refrain giving one stars unless they really do deserve it and this place does.
Location:
The location of this chain is great, however, the location is what causes the chaos and massive line during the lunch hours. This place will be packed with tourists and folks who work in the area.
Service:
The service is terrible, they rush everybody passing through and don’t take the time to listen to how you want your sandwich prepared. Multiple times I requested light mayo and it gets poured on there like no tomorrow or no tomatoes and they add it anyway. The last time they did this, I simply said that isn’t what I ordered and left without paying for it.
Seating:
There is a decent amount of seating but during the lunch rush, they will all be taken. Additionally, the tables aren’t really cleaned and quite messy.
Cost:
They don’t follow the franchise’s prices and set whatever they want to set. They will even try to charge you the wrong thing. For how much you end up paying for a sandwich here, you’re really better off going elsewhere for something more appealing and delicious than this place.

Working a block away from this joint would make it seem appealing to the naïve corporate worker (myself). I figure, okay. you can’t go wrong at Subway, because it’s established itself as a reliable source of food virtually in every other nook and crannie this place finds space to flourish. I have been eating Subway way before Jared made it popular, so I took a short walk over with the goal of merely grabbing a sandwich to go.
Firstly, this place is PACKED between 11:30−1PM most weekdays. The first time I came here, the line moved pretty fast, basically because the workers are robots who let their hands move way before their brains do. This place messes up orders because they are so trained to selectively hear the words «toasted», «footlong», and «cheese», and prepare all sandwiches that way. They also don’t really seem to care to listen to your actual order, because if they did, I wouldn’t have experienced my misfortunes twice in a row.
I ordered an Italian BMT, footlong, on italian bread. «Toasted?» I was asked. I politely said, «no, thank you», so the employee took that as «yes please» and ran over to the toaster with my sandwich. I raised my voice over the crowded yelling and said «no, I said not toasted please!», and he ignored me and moved right along to the next customer behind me. So I’m thinking, okay… what am I supposed to do? The other employees were busying throwing lettuce and cucumbers and peppers on other sandwiches and trying to take people’s orders 2 rows behind me and I’m standing sheepishly just trying to get my sandwich so I don’t waste my whole break in this place! Sheesh, I felt so overwhelmed.
The man brought my sandwich over and asked what toppings I wanted. I said «I told you I didn’t want my sandwich toasted.» He looked at me, and then looked at my sandwiched, and then sighed super loud. He walked over to his co-​worker and said «She didn’t want this toasted.» So other co-​worker looks at my sandwich, looks at me, and she too emits a sound of sorrow. For like .0005 seconds I felt like I offended them deeply, as they truly thought I asked for my sandwich toasted. Then I snapped back to reality and realized they were wasting my time and I was getting cranky because I was hungry!
They reluctantly made my sandwich again, and those workers should be arrested for sandwich abuse– they were literally throwing the toppings on, then smashed my sandwich as they cut it down the middle, and rolled it so crappy, I felt uncomfortable watching them make it! $ 5.44 and 25 minutes later and I left.
My story you just read above happened about 2 weeks ago. This SAME EXACT SCENARIO occurred today, except the co-​worker tried to contest with me that I did indeed ask for it toasted. After pretty much laughing in his face to avoid any choice words leaving my mouth, I said very calmly «you are wasting your time, and mine, and I am never coming back here because your service sucks.» Anyone who knows me knows I am not one to open my mouth, but whatever, it wasn’t like they could spit in my food, I was watching them make it.
Summary of events– don’t come to this location (for now, all other locations are a-​ok). Their poor-​quality attitudes and sandwich-​making abilities don’t equate to their Manhattan pricing, and it’s not worth the hassle.

Ech, here is what i get for taking a chance at Subway — something i havent had in many a millennia.
Being in the fiscal district at an odd time (8pm) and without my Unilocal app (damn you touch battery!) i figured — millions of people eat here it can’t be that bad.
Yeah um, unlike other subways (i thought), the $ 5 footlong deal is apparently null and void (despite signs to the contrary in the store).
Okay so if im going to pay full price lets get a chicken parm — simple, classic, you really cant get it very wrong.
It was pretty damn wrong.
For $ 8.50 i got a footlong chicken parm.
The bread had been burnt in one section, completely dried out in many others. The sauce was fair. The chicken was bland, but the worst part was that it was soggy — the sauce had made the chickens breading a sloppy, soft mess. Soft and ew.
The only upside was that the Mozzarella did blend fairly decently into the sauce, but it could not save the sandwich. Nextime i’ll grab a cuban.

What can I say… It’s a Subways. Unlike my Brooklyn Subways, this one only has 2 or 3 $ 5 footlongs. I’d rather have Blimpies…
