Subway

I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years. (I work around the corner). I have NEVER had service as horrible as I did this morning. I had to repeat my order MULTIPLE times and the woman behind the corner acted like I wasn’t even speaking to her. Thankfully there’s another Subway around the corner. Time to start walking to that one. #superdisappointed

I felt like avocado– I went to subway for a Turkey Avocado sandwich. They spend a boatload of time asking what I want (part of their «English» I couldn’t make out. I came away with my sandwich with everything BUT the avocado.
I could go back… But they wouldn’t understand and I haven’t the time

the most AWFUL subway i have been into.
employees seems to be there just to get a paycheck, very evident that they hate their jobs… and when you are telling them what veggies you wanna put in the sandwich after they ask, it seemed like they dont even want to give them to you.
i only gave one star because i have to, to write this review…
dont come here, i came here twice and never ever ever again.

Thank goodness for Subway, where one can get a reasonably-​priced, substantial tuna sandwich!
It’s too bad the service doesn’t always measure up to the quality of their food.
The young lady behind the counter seemed like she was on drugs/​medication, or had just woken up, or simply didn’t care to do a good job. She needed repeated reminders of the order, and kept having to make corrections as she made the sandwich. Subway should screen their employees more carefully — spaced-​out employees can be bad for business.

Cool dude that works here. He’ll make sure you get the best deal available for whatever you’re trying to order.
Only the Drumm St. entrance is open, Sacramento St. entrance is locked. It’s a little stuffy in here which is why it gets 4 stars.

So, I just escorted my wife to this Subway. She bought a combo, and I went to fill her soda for her. As, I put the cap and turned to walk towards my wife, the owner stuck his foot out from the chair he was sitting in to block my path and grilled, «Did you pay for that? Did you pay for that??»
What? The Fuck?
That was outlandishly offensive! What a fucking asshole.
The employees at this Subway are super nice, but their boss is a prick.

God, did I really ate that breakfast sandwich from Subway? Why yes, and it wasn’t bad. I chose the flatbread, egg white, pepper jack and topped it off with green and banana peppers, onions and tomatoes (ripe!). After I got it back to my office and loaded it up with rooster sauce, it wasn’t half bad.
For $ 3, I’ll hit it again. Especially if I am as hung over as I am today.

From my own experience, I’m going to give valuable information for what to look for in a potential mate. Here’s the Top Ten:
10) Beautiful. As I’ve gotten older, I understand that this is less and less important. But it’s still in the top ten, but no where near the top.
9) Confident/​independent. Being able to stand financially and emotionally but at the same time wants you to be there for them.
8) Intelligent. Physical goes only so far until being stimulated intellectually is a must. Dumb is not cute. Just ask Kris Humphries.
7) Reasonable. I don’t expect my girl to make sense all the time. But at least be logical three weeks out of the month.
6) Financially wise. Know how to live within your means. Don’t live a Lobster Roll lifestyle on a tuna melt salary.
5) Personality. This covers so many areas which includes being respectful, honest, humorous, etc. Emotions, attitude, behavior are so important.
4) Communication. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. It’ll make or break a relationship.
3) Best Friend. You got to be the number one person on this planet that your mate looks to talk, spend time with, love, etc. Also is a positive influence, making you a better person.
2) Spiritual. Even more important than loving you is the person you’re with loves God first. All the stuff I listed above will fall in to place if the person you’re with is spiritual.
1) Is happy eating at Subway. You may laugh but your mate has to be able to eat Gary Danko but also be happy and content with having Subway for dinner. If your potential mate complains about eating Subway, it’s a red flag.
Subway isn’t the best or even average. But a potential mate that eats Subway with you for a meal is probably beautiful, spiritual, intelligent, reasonable, financially wise, good personality, communicator, and your best friend.

Mela is amazing and my favorite subway sandwich maker of all time. I actually only come in when he’s working. no joke. the women who work here have messed up my simple, non-​toasted order 3 times!

just okay. not a big fan of subway in general, but couldn’t resist the $ 5 footlong one night so i gave in. i don’t know why the tomatos on my sandwich were greenish in the middle. either they’re really really fresh, or really really not.

Dear Subway (attn: employees),
I really don’t appreciate your lack of customer service. No one is making you work here, and I sure as hell didn’t make you either, so I’d love it if you didn’t act as if I were doing some diservice to you by ordering a sandwich. You just reminded me why I stopped coming to this particular Subway in the first place! Shame on me for deciding to give you guys another shot.
Sincerely,
Stephanie

Okay, I admit it… I detest, no… hate Subway. Despite the choices, I’ve never been impressed with any of their bread and all their sandwiches are below par. Like Crocodile Dundee once said, «It tastes like sh#t, but you can live on it.» Well, if this is what it takes to live then I no reason to exist, no desire to continue.
I have always been thoroughly unimpressed, but about three years ago, I got burned by a Subway in Newark or Fremont and until yesterday, never went to another Subway again. Well, until yesterday that is. I ended up downtown by the Embarcadero craving a quick lunch and went to Oasis, my favorite falafel place in San Francisco. Theirs is really good!!! Sadly, the line went out the door and down the street. I felt bad, but had to pass since I only had a dollar in the parking meter and didn’t have much time anyway… sorry Mo! (both Mo’s there, one of them the owner, are really great guys).
Ended up going to the Subway on the corner, ordered a footlong Meatball Marinara and have been regretting it ever since. I sincerely don’t remember the last time I actually ate something that disgusted me so much that I actually wanted to throw up to get it out of me. I’m not kidding, it grossed me out that much. It was nasty. Ever since Subway first appeared in the bay area decades ago, their meatball sandwich was the one thing they did that I liked. Well now, they’ve even managed to finally F that one up. It is no longer the tasty, semi-​decently spiced meatball covered in tomato sauce that it once was. It is now some disgustingly mealy, reddish, marinara-​soaked/​infused, sawdust-​based plasterball mess with subtle undertones of particleboard. Even the sauce was bad, sickening and cloyingly sweet.
In all fairness, the Meatball Marinara is one of the cheapest and most reasonably priced items on the menu, although per above, that was not the reason why I ordered it. Speaking of price, when I saw the prices of some of the other footlong sandwiches on the menu there, I had to laugh. Jeez, you could get some real sandwiches for only a dollar or two more. Comical, although I guess this is a purchase of convenience or sad ignorance. Other than that, I see no reason to come here when there are so many other choices available in the city. I do have to add though that the guy working the cash register during lunch yesterday was very nice and professional. Hard to say, but sadly, I’d rather be abused and get good food rather than vice versa.
I could go on and on about how no amount of Jared or ‘Fresh’ advertising can hide the fact that they serve crappy corporate sandwiches. Just looking at the pre-​portioned meats layered between waxed paper and ‘fresh’ ingredients in the glass case while waiting in line is enough to make me feel sorry for people who actually have to eat this on a regular basis. There is a big billboard next to 101 downtown that pushes Subway as a reasonable dinner alternative for the family. How pathetic… truly sad. Who would ever want to eat this garbage for dinner? Lew-​ser! (intentional misspelling)
As of today, it is official… I vow never set foot or eat in any Subway, ever again and I mean it.
Thanks to the Food Network and the fact that it is now fashionable to be a foodie, the palate of the average American has come a long way in just the past few years. Despite this, it is obvious that we still have a long way to go. Vote with your brain and palate… just say no.

I never put much thought into the difference in quality between Subway locations. Most of the time I’ve gotten what I’ve expected… a decent sandwich for a few bucks… I usually opt for a hot sandwich like the meatball marinara or spicy Italian.
I grabbed a sandwich on the go last week to eat on the ferry since I had a psycho busy day and didn’t have time to break for lunch. This here Subway location was the most convenient one…
The Spicy Italian sandwich I got, however, was truly fucking pathetic. I asked for extra cheese, but you sure wouldn’t know it… and there was hardly any sauce on the bread, either. Add to that the service, excruciatingly slow, and it all adds up to 2 shitty stars. I’ll stick to their 2^nd and Stevenson location from now on…

I love hoagies/​heros/​sub sandwiches. In NY we used to go to Blimpies. So I was excited when they opened a Subway across from my office. And for $ 3.99, the sandwiches are adequate. They do make your sandwich to order so I don’t have to get mayo and mustard on my sandwich, and can get a lot of crunchy veggies. I have 3 major complaints that keep me from buying there except as a last ditch desperation: (1) The sandwich makers don’t listen really well. You can tell them don’t heat it and the very next question they ask is «do you want it heated?» This happens every single time I’ve bought a sandwich from them, I end up having to repeat thing 3 and 4 times before they grasp the concept, and then they have a habit of asking if you want X right after you just told them you don’t want it. Annoying as hell, makes you realize they just are not listening (and sometimes the music is so loud they certainly can’t hear anyone which begin to feel rude). (2) They have only one person making sandwiches, while another is waiting at the cash register to ring up the sales so it does take 10 mins per person – so if you have 10 people in front of you, forget a quick lunch. I can get an adequate hero from the 7 – 11 next door or at Safeway a few blocks away. They really need to reevaluate that service technique. (3) The stuff inside the sandwich always falls out of the sandwich when you eat it. And I mean ALL of it falls out and not just sometimes. I hate it when you can’t eat a sandwich that starts to fall apart when you lift it (part of the reason sandwiches were invested was to make eating a quick meal easy and efficient). I’ve had heros from other places who put a lot of stuff inside that don’t fall apart. But that’s probably how Jared lost so much weight, by the time he got his Subway sandwich to his mouth, there wasn’t anything left of it so he was eating fat-​free, zero calories air.

Went there today during lunch «rush hour» and although the line was out the door, it only took 10 minutes to get my 12-​inch Turkey Breast sub and be on my way. The staff wasn’t friendly or unfriendly, they were just THERE to take my order and make my customized lunchtime meal. It loses a star for not having spinach or carrots, but other than that it’s just… subway.

For a huge chain, all Subways serve fresh ingredients. With all that meat, veggies, condiments, peppers, and condiments sitting out in open air, in a crammed place, with heavy foot traffic, the employees must take meticulous sanitary care because I have never gotten sick off of a Subway sandwich. I can not say the same for food from high end restaurants. Subway lives up to its risky yet true slogan «EAT FRESH.»
Oftentimes, I can not wait to run home and crash after 12 – 15 hours at the office. I am working at a hurried pace that I can not afford to set aside time for dinner. By the time I realize that my stomach is digesting itself, I am in no mood to stick around to comp my dinner that has to be eaten on the premise. Stupid rule. So I buy my fresh Subway on my way out, walk like a zombie onto MUNI, and hope that I still have energy to walk home. I come home, drop everything, and «inhale» my sandwich. Always hits the spot.
Time to just pass out in front of the TV, * not * hungry. Thanks to this Subway that opens late, I end my day on a good note. Beware, this Subway does not accept bills larger than a $ 20. Tried and was declined.

The only time i get food from here is when someone else chooses it. The problem that i have with this place is the same that i have with all subways. the food always looks like its just thrown together. I go in ad i order one of there feature sandwiches and they ask me what i want on it, in turn i say «what ever it comes with originally». They always give me this dumb look like I’m stupid or something. as they make my food they ask each other to make sure what’s in it and they skimp out on the ingredients.
I would suggest anyone thinking of going here to just pony up a couple of extra $$$ and just go somewhere else.

For $ 2.99 (price just jumped from an even better $ 2.49 over Christmas holiday apparently), you get a 6″ sub special — Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are Turkey & Ham, Turkey, and Italian BMT respectively. If you go for meatballs or tuna, try Tuesday or Friday respectively.
They’ve got things down pretty good here during the lunch hour monday through friday. The only thing slowin’ em up is the % of folks wanting their subs toasted with only one sandwich toaster oven for use.
The evenings and weekends need some work — I often find that I have to walk the folks through each veggie that I want on my sub versus calling out that I want everything ‘cept onions, cucumbers, and jalapenos to my Monday through Friday lunch crew.
For $ 2.49, this 6″ sub was a good value — Not so sure about $ 2.99 though — I might be heading to Lee’s Deli more often now.

I don’t like it when you giggle like a schoolgirl while making my sandwich. The sandwiches here are decent in terms of Subway quality, but the ambience is terrible. The fans spin under the lights, so you run the risk of getting an epileptic seizure. The staff desperately needs customer service training.
Go to the one in 5 Embarcadero Center under the Hyatt (on Market St.). It’s only a block away and the sandwiches, seating, and people are top class.
