Subway

It’s very hard to mess up Subway. Your expectations are low going in, so what could go wrong?
I had a strange hankering for Subway of all things, and even though this was the lowest-​rated Subway in the area, it was the closest. So I went.
The place smelled like cleaning stuff. She didn’t offer to toast the sandwich. The bread was stale. As if I could possibly be disappointed with Subway…

A typical Subway. Maybe even slightly fresher than most. Though, in general, Subway is falling lower and lower on my list, it still is a decent place for a quick sub and soda though. Not sure what is with the other reviews though, definitely doesn’t deserve a 1 star rating, and the staff seemed friendly enough.

When I walked in today for a quick bite I noticed the manager seemed to be on the way out. After I had placed my order the manager quickly jumped in to help out her employees after a rush of customers walked in. She finished out my transaction and was pleasant. Thats good management. As for everything else its just tour typical subway, nothing too special.

Very friendly staff. They were more friendly than standard subway expectations, and they did not skimp on the condiments and veggies.

WOW. I should have read the Unilocal reviews before I came here! I was on Unilocal too. Smh.
This was by far the worst Subway I’ve ever been to! I asked the worker for the Special where it was half a foot long, with a bag of chip and a soda. I didn’t know that the sandwich was half a foot long & the worked didn’t bother to explain also. So I just pointed at the sign near the register and picked my bread & meat, etc. The guy looked like he didn’t understand English and I had to repeat myself. I can tell that the other workers had a WTF on their faces too when the worker helping me was struggling to make the sandwich. The worker literally took his dam time putting the sandwich together. It really looked like he was struggling to just put some dam tomatoes on the dam thing. Even the worker behind him was quicker. Anyhow, I ended up paying way more than I thought I was suppose to pay AND the sandwich was not good. Oh, and the whole sandwich fell apart right when I started eating… Worse subway experience ever.
The place looks so depressing too. It literally looks like a hole in the wall. DO NOT GO here. You WILL REGRET… Like me =[

Subway is the most disgusting restaurant ever and this is the worst of the whole bunch of them. Gross food idiot employees.
You should eat here just to experience the complete incompetence. It’s truly amazing.

Wanted to get the December $ 2 meatball promotion but ordered it as a footlong. They REFUSED to charge me $ 4 but insisted since I ordered it as a footlong it was normal price. They insisted it was corporate policy. Funny…

What a mini subway. and i mean, MINI AKA size of a closet type of subway.
I’m no subway lover but i’ll have it time to time. I took the walk here to grab my sandwich, got the usual mediocre service by the subway guys, just get in and get out. Usual subway sandwich, cant complain i guess.

This place really is a matter of a restaurant in the right place, at the right time– meaning I would go here if I was crunched for time. I am not a big fan of Subway as a whole when there are better options, and I have always thought their bread smells wierd and unappetizing– like Play Dough or something.
Anyway, the meatball foot long «John Holmes» size was actually not that bad. It is a hole in the wall place like a Subway you might find in Manhattan.

I don’t know why I keep coming back to THIS place. After today’s experience, it will the LAST. I rather go somewhere else to spend my money. The workers here are not friendly and welcoming. No greetings at all. The person who made the sandwich can’t measure. I ordered a 6 inch sandwich and he gave me a 5 inch sandwich. (I went back to work to measure and took a picture of it). I made a comment about it and he just ignored me. The man who always runs the register, he’s money hungry because he’s always snatching the money out of hand. I don’t think he trust anyone else running the cash register. I’ve been to other Subways and I get way better service than this place. Financial District beware of THIS Subway on Sacramento between Battery and Sansome.

It’s a funny subway! I have been here many times, as it’s just below my office, so it’s convenient wen u don’t have time.
The guys don’t know how to make subs, they don’t put much stuff, compared to other subways. The other day this guy was literally counting the veg slices before putting it in my sub. Dude! Let’s count the lettuce strands as well! And then the way they package it, a kid can do better than that if that is what he does daily. All the veggies pop out as soon as u open the paper cover and the sub is empty towards the other edge. It becomes messy to eat!
All said n done, its convenient and near my workplace, so I go here when short on time.

They can barely make a sandwich, it is sad. Do yourself a favor and walk over to the Toaster oven on California near Battery.
Subway bread is subpar. The service is bare minimum, and the meat tastes funny. No one needs 12 inches of that stuff. No wonder americans are fat.

I never thought I would write a review for a shop that exists on nearly every block in SF, but my experience at this particular Subway was so lousy that I have to (and from other reviews, I see I’m not alone. Perhaps the owner should pay some attention to Unilocal).
My order couldn’t have been simpler: 6 inch turkey on wheat. But the employees made it complicated (in part because there were FOUR of them lined up from bread to salt/​pepper, with a FIFTH person (the owner, I think) at the cash register).
First of all, every single employee looks absolutely miserable and half-​asleep. What is that owner doing to them? Secondly, their overstaffed assembly line makes each them completely apathetic and unaccountable because they just keep pushing your sandwich to the next person. Case in point, I had just finished asking for lettuce and tomatoes, and would have liked to request a few other toppings, but the employee threw some lettuce and tomato on my bread and then shoved the sandwich to the next guy. The result was a disjointed, bizarre, off-​putting experience that requires you, the customer, to repeat your requests several times to different employees.
I asked Employee Number 4 in the assembly line for «a tiny bit of oil and vinegar.» He DOUSED one part of my sandwich with liquid; when I opened it at my desk, oil and vinegar were pouring out of the paper wrap and into the plastic bag. The rest of the bread was dry, almost stale.
For being quite possibly the most cookie-​cutter franchise in the USA, this Subway stands out — for all the wrong reasons. Steer clear.

This Subway is not as crowded as the one on Montgomery and the line moves quickly.
It’s a trip when they have several people at the sandwich assembly line:
Greeter/​Order Taker/​Bread Opener
Meat Ploppin’/Cheese Placin’/Toast Master
Veggie Docta/​Sauce Squirter/​Wrappa Uppa
Sometimes it’s overkill. Especially when Meat Ploppin’/Cheese Placin’/Toast Master has nothing toasting and is stuck molesting your sandwich waiting for Veggie Docta/​Sauce Squirter/​Wrappa Uppa to finish up.
One time they gave me my sandwich but no one could ring me up. That would have been a great chance for a DND (dine ‘n’ dash), but I go here often so I waited to pay.
Try the pizza, it is really good. Tell them to spread ranch over it, if you like that sorta thing. The chipotle sauce with oven roasted chicken breast is to die for.

I have been here several times — super convenient, usually pretty busting with people. I think they recently hired a bunch of people because the usual man was not there and the 4 people behind the counter seemed to have no clue as to what they are doing.
Bottom line is I love Subway. It is a solid classic.

Something about this Subway in particular makes me mad/​disgusted. There are semi-​nice employees. The set up is just plain stupid. You have to go in the same door that you come out and the other exit is blocked with a chair (thank god they have the sense to leave it open for ventilation!).
They don’t really pile on the vegetables as I would like, so asking for extra is a must.
6 people at a time in line here is way too many.
Do all Subways charge to toast your sub now? Because this one does.
All things considered, I will continue to eat at this subway.

I like going to Subway for lunch about once a week (usually on Mondays, when the ham and turkey six-​inch sub is the special), but I won’t go to this particular outlet again (luckily, it’s one of at least three within a two-​block radius of my office).
The staff here is mind-​bogglingly across-​the-​board incompetent. I’ve been to this Subway at least five times, and, without fail, the staff has manage to screw up my order and/​or the orders of everyone around me. I don’t know what’s so difficult. Well, part of the reason is that some of the staff either don’t understand enough sandwich-​related English vocabulary or they have serious hearing difficulties. One guy behind me had to explain that he wanted a 12-​inch tuna sub without any condiments 11 times (I counted!) before they finally got his order right. Unbelievable.
You’re better off going to another one of the zillions of FiDi Subway outlets if you’re craving a $ 5 footlong.

I came into this Subway once almost three years ago and had the worst customer service experience ever and vowed to never come back to this Subway ever again. I’m not being melodramatic. Okay, maybe a little bit, but it was pretty bad. I’ve worked food service jobs before, and if you’re really *that* unhappy, then maybe it’s time to find another job.
But, I digress. I don’t remember exactly what my experience was last time I was there. I mean, it was three years ago. I just remember not having the friendliest of service and the worker who helped me just seemed so unhappy and unfriendly that I almost wanted to cry.
Almost.
Well, three years later and the workers are still not happy. When I asked for a little bit of mayo and a little bit of oil and vinegar, the guy threw a glob of mayo and drenched the side of my sandwhich with the oil. If that’s what they consider a little bit, I don’t want to know what they would consider a normal amount.
Kudos to those with more positive experiences with this place. But I can get my subpar and cheap sandwiches elsewhere.

Bleh. Worst Subway experience I’ve had in this city.
Stale bread.
Oddly-​colored tuna salad.
No ice in the drink dispenser.
WARM bottled soda in the «cooler.»
Seriously. And this was 11:45, before the lunch rush. Yikes. Zoinks! Boooiiinnng!

My turkey sandwich on whole wheat tasted like bananas.
Yes, bananas.
What’s up with that?
