Subway

The sandwich artist saw me pull into the parking lot and waited for me to come into the store. Instead of pretending to do some work in back and having me wait. I was barely in the door good when he greeted me. Quicky service. I like.

3 stars for being a basic subway, an extra star for the extra nice lady who actually changed her gloves in between my boyfriend’s meat sandwich and my veggie. I really appreciated that!

My wife and I have visited this Subway a couple of times recently and honestly, I’m surprised it doesn’t seem to get the traffic it should. Granted, we have gotten standard, solid service. No errors. No bad food. Nothing super stand-​out, but still, for it to be a solid stand-​by, reliable, option is comforting.
My take on Subways in general, I don’t go to them often. When it comes to sandwiches, I like meat, cheese and mayo. No veggies. So with that, I eat a lot of bread at places like Subway. Yeah, I can get double meat, but that is an extra cost. Because I like the bread more, I prefer places like Goodcents or even Jimmy John’s. The bread tastes better to me there than at Subway. Granted, Subway has a lot of different types of bread, which are basically their white bread with cheese or herbs baked in. They’re okay, but I still prefer Goodcents to them all.
On topic, this particular Subway deserves more traffic as it is a solid stand-​by. Never had a problem here.

Subway Sandwich Shops are really EVERYWHERE but I made a trip to this one, in my neighborhood, yesterday at lunch, based solely on an Internet ad about their «new» avocado added sandwiches. And I must warn you, this is as much a tale of being fooled by advertising as it is a review of this location.
The picture in the on line ad (which is also displayed on the menu board in the store) showed a BLT with a generous layer of chunky avocado heaped into the bread. Since I’m a great fan of avocado AND of BLTs, this looked like the perfect sandwich for me! While waiting in line, I chose a bag of chips and then optimistically stepped up to order my sandwich. The young man dashed my hopes of expecting heaping helpings of chunky avocado when he doled out a very thin spread of creamy avocado onto the bottom ½ of my roll, put four slices of bacon into the microwave to crisp up, slid the bread down to the next station and looked to the next person in line for their order.
Since I’ve been getting versions of the ‘lack of truth in advertising’ ever since I was a kid, this episode should be no surprise to me. But I really wanted the picture version of this sandwich and Subway Sandwich Shops are not really equipped to handle that transaction.
I should have known what to expect. So you may be asking why three stars (which stands for A-​OK)? Well, let’s face it, I was ‘ripped-​off’ by the advertising picture and that really isn’t Subway’s fault. We’ve been getting decent Subway sandwiches at franchise stores all around the U.S. for years. It’s one of the places you can always count on finding. Even in many small town locations while we are on vacations. The food may not be thrilling but it is Inexpensive and Fast and Edible and you know coming through the door what to expect. If you REALLY want the picture version of this sandwich, you would likely pay two to three times what Subway gets for it.
So I’m not going to dis my local Subway. I’m just reminding you of their possible limitations; while putting in a word to not be seduced by the pretty pictures in the advertisements. That way everyone stays happier.
