I go to the same subway 2 or 3 times a month. It's always delicious.

I don't mind Subway, it's not gourmet, but good enough for lunch or dinner a couple times a month.
False. Nothing about Subway is healthy unless all you get are tomatos, cucumbers, green peppers, and onions. Those are the only fresh vegetables. The spinach might be okay, but the lettuce is iceberg and shitty and everything else is soaked in brine. The cheese is terrible for you, the bread literally comes in frozen, and the meats are no better than your typical lunchmeat(note: heavy salt and not healthy).

This.

I got a foot long, turkey(extra meat because they give you basically nothing), lettuce, provolone and Italian dressing. That's it. No drink, no chips. Shit was $9.75.

Subway is the worst of all the sub places. I will agree though some locations are better then others. I usually stop in once a week for lunch or dinner because the one near my house pretty much doubles the amount of meat and cheese that a normal subway location does. The last time I went to a subway that wasn't that location I was floored by just how pathetic their sub really was.

I stop at Subway sometimes because it's closer than Jersey Mikes. Also, cheaper.

I agree with others that fast-casual places like Chipotle and Piada are raising the bar in terms of quick bites.

Fuck you for putting "/mb," bc as I was reading it, I was thinking, "/MB'd!" Lol

I don't mind it. I pretty much got every major sub place around where I live (Penn Station, Jersey Mikes, Firehouse, Steak Escape, Charleys, Jimmy johns) so I don't eat it often.

Sometimes it is the best choice on rural roads in BFE. Always on wheat with onions, 2x gr peppers, banana peppers, tomato, spinach. $5 special only, I only drink water and stay away from chips. I prefer other shops, but they are not in towns with populations less than 20K.

Yea I like it a lot. If I am in the mood for a Hot Sub, That's usually where I will go. For Cold subs, I prefer jersey mikes.

Anyone remember Quiznos? Is that place even in business anymore?

I liked Quiznos back in the day because they were pretty generous and actually were one of the first to serve hot subs that I remember.

I'm pretty sure there aren't any Quiznos in central Ohio anymore. The one in canal closed like 2 months ago

I think this sums it up nicely. Unless you get a ton of toppings, you're basically eating a bread sandwich. Try getting flatbread next time.
