Subway

Worst subway, The wroker broke my six inch tuna sandwich in half while making it and. Half of the tuna came out of the sandwich. Also, when i gave the owner (I assume he was the owner, because he didn’t have the Subway uniform on) a coupon, he said, he doesn’t take coupons. He said the «sandwich is cheap already and no need for coupons». I didn’t want to argue or make a fuss over a sandwich.

Not the best Subway restaurant you will ever walk into, but then again what do you expect when you walk in? The restaurant is VERY small and as with any Subway a long line will form during lunchtime, although it does move fast. The workers here are pretty typical as they don’t seem too excited to be making sandwich after sandwich after sandwich. They mostly give blank stares as customers bark out ingredients to add, but they do add a good amount of the ingredients you ask for. With all this said, it’s not the worst Subway, but far from the most enthusiastic.

I just paid almost $ 12 for one of their value meals. And they’re still giving out 2 napkins maximum.

After being overcharged twice by this particular Subway, I think I’ll be steering clear from the franchise altogether. When ordering a $ 5 footlong sandwich with extra meat, the manager should not charge you $ 8.93. Because that is retarded math, considering that extra meat is $ 1.25.
$ 8.93 is too much to pay for a mediocre ham footlong, even for the Financial District.

I am basing my review on my breakfast experience. I know that there are lots of great places for breakfast in NYC, but seldom do you have a cheap breakfast that is healthy and has the personal experience to go along with it. I come in here every morning for the english muffin breakfast melt on my way to work. The two guys that work in here are always delightful; never in a bad mood and are very friendly to me. The melt is delicious; you have your choice of regular egg or egg white (no additional charge for egg white) and they use a whole wheat english muffin and you have your choice of meat and veggies for the melt. I like ham, cheese, egg, onion and green pepper. It’s fantastic and there is NO grease running down my arm as there is with a McDonalds breakfast sandwich. I was given a free meal coupon by one of the guys in there because I am a loyal customer. Can’t beat that kind of customer service.

It’s a Subway’s. There’s really not much to review here – you seen one, you seen em’ all. You’re going to pay $ 5 to $ 7 for a sandwich with the fixings. Got the varied types of breads. Meats range from cold cuts to frozen chicken breasts that don’t look at all like chicken. The veggies are generally fresh, and the addition of avocado (though its squeezed out of a bag) is a nice touch. Also, there are baked chips (from Doritos to Lays) to make you feel somewhat less guilty. And there’s a calorie counter everywhere. Again, it’s Subways, not a gourmet Charcuterie. You get slightly fast food (call it speed-​walking) for a decent price.

Not a good value
* 6.30 after tax for a six inch steak and cheese is a lot for average taste
* plus the sandwiches generally do not have much meat
* while bread is fresh, it just tastes ok

Hmm, where do I begin? Should I start with the impatient sandwich nazi who takes orders of people 15 places down the line, the cold ‘toasted’ sandwiches or the fact that this particular Subway charges more than neighboring ones?
To be fair, cost isn’t that much of an issue but my coworkers pointed out to me that they do indeed charge way more that the Subway at 1 New York Plaza. *shrug*
I don’t make a habit of eating at places like this but when I do, I expect my sandwiches to be warm damn it.

Like someone else mentioned, this subway has the shortest lines of any that i’ve been to in manhattan. As a matter of fact it was nearly empty shortly after lunch hour on a weekday and im glad it was because I was hungry. Pleasant salespeople that make suggestions if you aren’t sure about what you want. Looks pretty small from the outside as the storefront is a whole 5 feet wide but once inside theres many seats for you to enjoy your slug-​o-​food. A buddy of mine lives next door upstairs and says he smells subway all the time as the smell permeates through the whole building but for what hes paying for his apartment there I wouldn’t care less it’s better than some other NYC stenches, such as the subway…

Shortest line? Please… go there during lunch and you’ll see the line snaked around the store… this is just your average subway

«$ 5 for ANY Footlong» promotion. W@W. They’ve got Subway and Quiznos beat. «what a great deal!», I thought to myself. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve contemplated ripping one of those promo flyers outside off, sticking it to my crotch and roaming the streets of FiDi like that. Then I would put the «$ 1 Footlong Sidekicks» flyer on my friend and we’d lock arms and roam the streets together. That would be so Jeff. Unfortunately, maturity got the best of me and I refrained from doing so. I was not feeling adventurous that day and needed my veggie quota so in I went. ANY turned out to be ‘some’, with restrictions on what wasn’t part of the promotion, such as beef prime rib, etc. They also mistakenly put salsa instead of BBQ sauce on my BBQ rib footlong sammich. To add to my discontent, a paper was stuck on the tilted prep window as well as on the entrance door. It read:

5. 5 Dollar. 5 Dollar Footlooooong.
Subway is one of the few chain restaurants that I can actually stand, and is one that I actually frequent.
However, this is hands down the worst Subway i’ve been to, and dammit, i’m not ashamed to admit that i’ve eaten at a Subways from coast to coast.
My biggest beef, is the lack thereof. These guys seriously bogard on the toppings.
For example, a typical lunch time rush will go like this:
«Foot long turkey on wheat, no cheese, everything but sweet peppers, extra lettuce… wait, can you put more green peppers and tomatoes on? (there’s like, a single 2 inch piece of green pepper on my sammy)»
«No, we’re gonna run out! What kinda sauce you want?!»
«Just a little bit of mayo… (cringing at the good cup of mayo that’s dumped on my order)… fuck, that’s enough!!!»
«That’ll be $ 5.35! Next!!!»
O well, it’s better than my cafeteria.

This Subway has the shortest lines of all in the FInancial District.
Could be due to the fact that it is pricier, as Mahua pointed out.
But if you are in a rush — they are speed devils here.

(Whoa. There’s an underground Subway across the street!?)
I like to go here because the staff hauls ass through sandwich-​making. Yeah, it’s fast food and there are better options. But I haven’t seen any of the other sandwich places fly through a line of 30 people like the guys at this Subway.
