    I prefer the $2.99 bacon cheeseburger or chicken deluxe combo at Wendy's......... if we are talking about subs, I prefer a grocery store made sub, or a Blimpies sub.

      problem is not enough meat so you have to get double meat (more money) overpriced chips and drinks. quality level extremely low grade but edible. you can do better out of a deli quality wise but price will be about the same in this overpiced restaurant/pizza shop era.

            well just buy the sandwich and get a soda from home

                It's not a great deal, but it's not bad.

                  Bad deal because their Sandwiches tastes like paper I would rather hit up the local Italian Deli market or Quiznos.

                    This is not accurate sir. I read today that Subway is the most visted fast food restaurant in the United States presently. Wendys is second ............

                      Yeah when it comes to subs Subway is definitely on the bottom of the list. Yes, they have great bread choices but thats like the entire sandwich, very little meat and cheese. Id much rather hit up WaWa, Quiznos, Quick Check, or my local Tastee Sub Shop for a nice sub.

                        Your local place sells a "huge slice of pizza" for a dollar? Where do you live? Romania?

                              Agreed, I go to a local sandwhich shop run by a Korean.

                              Can get a good size/quality sandwhich, chips, and drink (good size and refill) for $4.25.

                                I agree subway is way overrated. Better off going to your local deli or street cart for a way better sandwich.

                                  Yes and no - the bread/meat/Veggies arent too bad (at least for processed flour and meats, but that another issue)

                                  The bad part comes in when adding Cheese and Mayo -

                                      I said Canada....

                                      They have good deals on slices and a walk-in special for a whole medium pepperoni for $6.99.

                                      The rest of their prices are normal.


                                      btw, those slices can be any kind, any toppings for the same price.




                                      When I was in Florida, tried Firehouse Subs, they tasted delicious. Not cheap but really big portions. Wished they had some here. Quiznos is not too bad.

                                          Costco is the best deal for lunch. Pizza slice $2, hot dog and a soda combo for $1.50. My Costco membership card expired 2 years ago but i just show them the expired card when i walk in and go get the cheap lunch.

                                              doug subway is killing it with these $5 footlongs. bread, cheese and veggies are cheap the only thing that costs is meat and they put very little. plus most people get a soda and maybe chips so they people usually spending 7-8 maybe 9 dollars after leaving.

                                                I never eat the meat there. Veggie subs for me everytime. It's like eating a salad and a loaf of bread.

                                                  Then why not go somewhere else and order a salad with bread?

                                                        I go to Subway from time to time, but I dont consider it a good value. $5 footlong + chips + drink + tax = $8 If I just need to fill up cheap I'll hit the McD $1 menu. 5 double cheeseburgers for $5 = full all day

                                                          I think you get a pretty good deal with the "oven roasted chicken breast" footlong at $5, but that's about it. The meal deal saves you about what??? 17 cents????

                                                            I can agree that it might not be a great deal past the surface but a foot-long from them is usually enough of a meal if you load it up with the veg you like and it will fill you for 5 bucks. I can cope with that.

                                                                I go to the store I ask for Thumans top grade cole cuts and you can taste the difference

Most subway's are owned by Indians (dots) which is why they give very little meat, charge $1 for fountain refills, and put one small napkin in your bag for a footlong sub and if you want more you have to go up to the counter.

                                                                    I have nothing against them as a people...Im just pointing out my observation...Subway stinks.
                                                                    Bro just say it how it is...Indian people tend to be some of the greediest selfish kind, I know from experience. These guys need to lighten up and share the wealth, give a little damn it!

                                                                    I do like Subway, much better than McD's or BK, Wendy's...that food is pure garbage. If I wanted to die early I'd rather do some hard drugs. Subway got that Southwest Chipotle sauce and its good on practically anything, great stuff.

                                                                    Plus...whats healthier? A big loaf of bread with a ton of veggies, or a freakin microwaved Cheeseburger that's been sittin on the counter for a few hours. I remember one day I ate the half pounder from BK and literally felt like I was going to die for the rest of the day. I could barely move, was so exhausted like I just ran 30 miles. Nasty stuff man.
