Subway

Quick and simple, just the way I like it. During lunch time at price center, every place is packed with lines. Subways lines are not nearly as long because of how quickly they provide the food. The sandwiches have been pretty consistent every time I’ve been here. I usually just get the same thing, oven roasted chicken breast on flat bread but recently I’ve been trying their other sandwiches since ALL their footlong sandwiches are $ 6 in the month of february. This is a great deal imo because I can finally try their expensive sandwiches without feeling the guilt of paying too much. Overall nothing really to complain about and just your average subway.

Taste:
The taste is consistent with most subways. You can ask to get your subs double even tripple toasted for extra crispiness
Quantity:
Same as standard
Service:
Service is quick and they are nice
Price:
Pricing is normal

PSA: THERE ARE NO FIVE DOLLAR FOOTLONGS (at least for this month of November)
This being an on-​campus Subway, you expect it to not be as nice as other locations. However, every time I’ve gone, I’ve never been disappointed. During lunch hours, the line gets ridiculously long, but they’ll open up the other side, which people often don’t know about.
Anyway, so the times I’ve gone, there’s this amazing worker there who perfects my sandwiches. I remember one time I went during a lunch rush and my sandwich started falling apart a little. Instead of just smushing everything together and resassembling, he just made me a brand new one. I didn’t even have to repeat my order to him… he remembered my order AND all the toppings. I really appreciated that because I know that it often gets really stressful when there’s 15+ people in line.
Overall, I’ve never had a bad experience here, other than the unfortunate lack of 5 $ footlongs. The prices have gone up and it’s not really worth paying 7 $ for a simple sandwich, especially one that used to only cost 5 $.
OVERALL:
Food: ⁴⁄₅ — it’s your basic Subway
Service: ⁵⁄₅ — props to that guy who perfects your sandwiches
Price: $ — But prices have gone up.

Like any usual subway. I have devoured enough footlongs here.

A standard Subway; nothing to complain about!
Service here is great, even during rush hours. Definitely would come here again for a quick sandwich.

I love subway. I usually split a footling with someone because they’re too big for me. But everyone’s different and if you can eat a whole one then go for it :) it was my favorite place to be when I went to UCSD. It’s fast and convenient and I could also study there. My other choice was round table pizza but the beer there made me want to stay away because it would make me so sleepy in class :) but it was so hard to resist. Subway for sure is a good way to go when your in between classes. The lines can get long but usually they have a lot of workers getting everyone through as quickly as they can

Subway is now my go-​to choice of lunch on campus. The sandwiches are very consistent, so I know exactly what ill be getting (a couple of years ago this was not the case, I used to often get sandwiches that were basically ruined).
Since then, the quality of sandwiches had greatly improved, they have excellent service, and subway is always the quickest place to get good during the lunch rush.
I suppose my biggest gripe is that their water cups recently changed from small cup to the smallest cup I have ever seen a restaurant give out. It almost seems like a cruel joke to me.

⁴⁄₅ for the great customer service, especially when it’s rush hour and students need their sandwiches asap. I like getting sandwiches from here, not only because of its convenience, but also because of the great staff. I also gave only ⁴⁄₅ because the sandwiches just taste like regular ones. Nothing fancy going on in them, but it’s all up to YOU how to make it.

it’s subway. it’s a chain. there’s not much to differ from other subways except maybe the service, which is just perfectly decent.
but i like having this subway available in price center because i feel like it’s one of the most veggie-​heavy meals you can get, especially for the price. $ 5 foot longs can do no wrong.

How different can Subway be, really? The only thing that makes or breaks a Subway is their customer service. Unless there’s a health hazard or something at one of the locations. The one at UCSD is okay – they aren’t particularly amazing in customer service but they get the job done. Not sure if I’m just always stuck behind a picky eater or something, but it seems like I’ve got to wait a while when ordering my food. Sucks, but oh well.
Sadly, today was the last day of September, which means no more $ 5 footlongs (boo). I usually go for the Turkey Breast on Wheat, with pepperjack cheese, and pretty much almost all of the veggies (except olives and jalapenos). I get this toasted which I really love. I love the pepperjack melted into the sandwich with all of thye fresh ingredients on top of it. It’s delicious.
But yes, Subway can only be as good as Subway. There isn’t anything too crazy about their sandwiches, but they’re solid. They make you full and for the most part are pretty healthy, depending on what you put in the sandwich. Sad that I can’t get a $ 5 footlong anymore, but hey, I guess I can get the $ 6 Lunch deal, which gives a 6-​inch, a bowl of soup, and a drink. That’s not bad either!

Located in the heart of UCSD, this place gets CRAZY crowded around lunch time, especially now that the $ 5 footlong subs are back! (I think for the rest of this month?)
The good thing is that they know they’re packed and they have (at least today) high energy staff that get through the line quick and fast. I was in and out of there in 5 minutes!
I usually go for Chicken Teriyaki, Tuna, or Chicken Breast — can’t really go wrong, right? :D

I don’t understand why every Subway and other Avocado offering places in San Diego must charge extra for avocadoes. for real, avocadoes are one of the cheapest fruits available in California. I just don’t understand.
Now specifically to this location:
Cheapest lunch at UCSD and fairly healthy.
Very «fast» service that will result in the sloppiest sandwich you will ever eat.
When you ask for Spinach instead of lettuce, they put 3 leaves on the sandwich.
And I still eat here a lot…

This Subway is about 3 stars in terms of food. I’m not sure why but every time I get my sandwich toasted, it is not as crispy as when I get sandwiches at other Subways. Even when toasted, the bread is still soft and can sometimes get soggy making the sandwich a little less appealing.
The customer service at this location however is HORRIBLE. The last 2 – 3 times that I have been here, the staff has been extremely rude and disrespectful. I have never been met with a friendly face and they try to rush you out as soon as possible. After asking for 2 – 3 veggies they’ll ask if you’re done. I’ll ask for another 1 – 2 veggies and they’ll ask again. And again. The second time and third time I visited, I told them all the veggies I wanted from the beginning and afterwards they started packing it up before I got the chance to ask for spread with it. The staff is too busy about getting customers out of there as soon as possible to even bother with customer service. They even have signs all over telling people to give them 5 stars on their customer satisfaction survey which they definitely do not deserve, especially if they specifically have to ask for it.

After my last few visits to this Subway, I have to change my review to a 1-​star. I never thought that it could be this bad, honestly.
The last sandwich I had was completely ruined. I had to eat it with a knife and a fork — the bread was completely soggy (pretty much looked completely gone) as it was drenched in marinara sauce from the meatballs, and the sandwich was stuck to the wrapper in many parts. My sandwich before that fell apart as the person failed to wrap it properly, and rather than fixing it just shoved it into a bag.
The workers are ridiculously rude lately (even worse than before). They have absolutely no patience, and don’t even bother to show any courtesy, manners, or anything of the like.

I’ve never tried this Subway before until my junior at UCSD… and I probably wouldn’t have if my friend hadn’t made me choose this over Burger King and TapEx when everything else was closed after I finished a 10PM final one quarter.
Well, there were so many choices that I was overwhelmed and did not know where to start (I didn’t know whether to choose a pre-​set flavor or build my own). It probably would have helped if the person taking my order had walked me through the process as I’d never built my own sandwich flavor at a Subway before, but I think she was waiting for my friend to do it. So finally, I just asked my friend to order his usual preferences to give me a start. Well, after «tweaking» his order, this has become my usual preference:
$ 5 Footlong (which is NOT only $ 5, by the way) using 9-​Grain Honey Oat bread with steak, swiss/​pepper-​jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, bell peppers, banana peppers/​jalapenos, and Chipotle Southwest sauce to top it off. YUM! I’ve always been able to scarf this yummy sandwich with no problem!
Even though I don’t frequent this place very much, I always enjoy my sandwich from here whenever I find myself craving some Subway.

You can expect the lines to be long if you come at lunch on a weekday. This is a college campus and everyone eats lunch around the same time. Duh. Some people still haven’t figured out that there are TWO lines, one on each side of the restaurant. Don’t make that mistake and wait in the longer line just because you aren’t sure if the other shorter line is the same.
The line moves quickly and you get what you came here for: a subway sandwich. But save some money and don’t pay extra for the combo (chips and a drink). You can walk a few steps away to the Sunshine Store and get a better drink and chip selection for a lower price.

I feel bad that this location has such bad reviews. I go here all the time for a quick and convenient lunch or dinner and I always leave with my expectations met. If you go during lunch hours, obviously you should expect a long line. You’re having lunch at the center of a huge campus with thousands of students looking for the same thing you’re looking for after all — an inexpensive, quick meal. I can see they’re doing the best they can to make your sandwich as fast as humanly possible. It’s not like they’re stopping to make conversation with another co-​worker or slacking off by other means. They’ve always been fast and efficient from what I’ve seen over the last 3 – 4 years I’ve been going to UCSD. Sometimes during rush hours, they would open a second line on the other side of their stand so that the lines can be cut in half and people can get their sandwiches more quickly. I thought that was nice of them to have a second sandwich bar ready just in case.
When I go during hours that aren’t as busy, I’ll run into an employee that would ask me how my day was as he is making my sandwich. Sometimes he’ll even ask if I would like a cup of water since I usually just opt for a sandwich and skip on getting a fountain drink. Most of the time, you have to ask yourself for a cup. Little things like that add to a person’s day, folks! I’m a definitely a fan here.

The convenience is often offset by long lines.
The healthiness is cancelled by how much dressing I like.
Soup, sandwich, cookie, chips – I like it all. However, a nice lunch is often met with the chatter of many many many students.
The three previous cons does not hold true on weekends when I’m feeling health-​conscious and studying.
Tip: UCSD AS booklets often have BOGO half off or similar deals. When I was a student and AS/​SOLO was on the third floor, I’d go up two flights of stairs to grab a coupon and then use it.

Ugh here we go again… campus food review. Don’t get me wrong I love their sandwiches on certain days but this last visit was a «Meh, really.?» rating.
They have a new promotion for $ 5 you can get any 6 inch sub with a choice of soup. They offered chicken veg soup and broccoli w/​cheese, so I ordered the second one and it was a let down. That’s not how you do broccoli w/​cheese! So watery and cheese-​less, no fair. The two stars are mainly for the wack soup. Other than that, my BLT was aight.

There are few places at UCSD’s campus with food that I would consider quasi-​edible and Subway usually doesn’t come to mind. In fact, there is usually a strange odor coming from their restaurant area so I normally steer clear of it. However, seeing as though it is the most reasonably priced, and relatively healthiest option (until I got my hands on it) I decided that it would be my lunch stop of the day.
I had a coupon for a free double meat upgrade and, as ridiculous as it sounds, I decided to order a Chicken Bacon Ranch foot long sandwich… with everything. This thing was huge, and even the employees seemed to enjoy a laugh at trying to figure out how they were going to wrap it and shoehorn it into the bag. That said, the sandwich was pretty good. It seemed to lack a bit of the ranch, but certainly didn’t lack any of the fixings, and I struggled to finish it.
While there are more dining choices on campus than ever, few provide very good value for the student budget, and even fewer are actually good for you. I probably negated any real health benefits with my colossal heart attack of a sandwich (I estimate it was at least 1200 calories) it definitely went a long way toward satisfying my hunger pangs. Seriously, $ 5 foot longs is the best idea ever!
