I heard a lot about the subway as a great fast food place and recently went out with a friend of mine to a subway restaurant. I am sorry to say but to me it was like really bad. I know we had the option of choosing every ingredient but as it was my first time to subway I told the attender to make it the best with right quantities of almost everything they feel like putting into it. We actually ordered one chicken hem and something veggie as well, both in 6 inch Italian bread and ended up with over 4 inches left in our plates. How come all others out there feel good about subway!

I love subway, and I always order Turkey with the mixed shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, spinach, and mayonnaise. The person that made your sandwich had the choice of whatever they wanted to put on it, those might be things you are not fond of. Give it another try, and order what you would like on your sub. Good luck

Next time around I'll make sure I choose the toppings... Thanks for your response.

Right you definitely want to select your toppings, cause we all like different things, that is why they ask you what you would like on it. If you are not sure what they all have, ask them by pointing at what you are not sure of, they will tell you what it is. Let me know how your next one goes.

Many men many minds! May be you expected more and you get less from that restaurant. Most of the time, when we create a picture of things then we get disappointed. If you would havd gone without hearing things for them, you might have liked it!

No chance. No matter what I have heard about them but you can't like anything if you actually took only the one third of the whole serving.

So, did you yell at them who asked you to go try that? You should because it was time plus money wasting for you!

i have heard from people i know that it is not that great. it is known food chain but not that popular though. i don't see too many people eating on that place because it is expensive and because i think the main reason is the food is not that great. i have seen other food chain though expensive but still manage to have so many people who eat on that place.

I love subway, but you have to make your own the way you like things. I choose the wheat bread, roast beef, american cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, banana peppers, just a little mayonnaise and salt and pepper. It's very good, I think. One of my grandsons loves the meatball one. I haven't had it, but it looks good. Another likes the ham. I've never left any on my plate. I think you just had a bad experience.

Now when you have given me the list of what might be the exact thing to have, I might have a better next time. Thanks for your response.

I think someone had mentioned the steak one, too. That is delicious with the cheese. But you need to make sure they heat it for a few seconds before they give it to you. Much better that way!

I have only been to subway once and that was enough,it is to much for me to eat and not very impressed with what I got on my plate.I explained eating a twelve inch bread roll with all that in it was too much for me to eat.They chopped it in half and I only wanted chicken and bacon and the looks I got,One size fits all in there and my tummy could not take all that food,I would have been in there all day just trying to get through it,I am with you on this one.xx

I think they are good, the food is delicious and the price is very reasonable. First time I went to Subway, the attendant was so nice and asked which veggie I would like. I always have happy experience with this restuarant.

well it is a matter of taste like anything else, nobody likes every kind of food in the world. You may love macdonalds, I hate it, I may love burger king and you might hate it, that is all it is, a matter of taste.

I have tried Subway before also. I do not care for it at all. My husband and daughter love it though. I will not waste my money there.

Subway's are great! I do have to admit that some Subway's are better than others. Some cut up too many veggies, and they get dry and flavorless after a while. The other thing is, don't have the attendant to make it the way they like it. They would probably use up anything old. Or, maybe their tastes are just different than yours. Try the smoked turkey, if they have it there. That's my favorite. Then pick the veggies that you like, and watch them make it to be sure what they're using is fresh looking. If you aren't sure which dressing to pick, ask to taste them. My favorite is the southwest ranch, it has chipotle peppers in it. If you give it another try, let me know what you think, ok?

I once tried eating only subway sandwiches everyday in a bid to lose weight. Bad mistake. After the first week, I couldn't bare to look at another subway sandwich. I don't know how that guy Jared did it.

Well i just love to eat at subway, yes some dont like just because of it plain taste, but trust me it is really healthy to eat out there than any other fast food resturants. i always order roasted chicken in a caramel bread or wheat bread. i really like it though.its just you got a different taste bud and nothing else, it must be that where you like to eat some people loving at subway may not like it too. but i think you should taste the salad there in subway, it is really good.but yes the food there is plain just because they work on being calorie concious too.

I am a big fan of Subway! Mostly because they're a nutritious alternative to fast food. I like that I can personalize my sub easily and get a lot of veggies on it! Also they have some really great tasting breads. If you're looking for a lot of meat then I guess this wouldn't be the place for you. But for someone looking for a nutritious sub, it's perfect.

I dont like subway at all. It is so bland and stale. I was willing to give it a try so I had a plater made with different things and was not impresed at all. Also I find the service really bad and slow.

Hi Cool, so many places are made out to be something they aren't and it is only by our experience that we find things like this out, personally I have never been to The Subway but have heard of it, but now I don't think I will...anyway I would rather save my money!...littleowl

There are only a couple of subs that I like from there. I enjoy the steak sub with mozerrella cheese, and the meatball sub. Once in a while, I will order a BLT, but not too much because I make better ones at home. You may have just had a bad experience. Try going again, and this time, you choose your toppings. That might make a difference for you.

I love Subways. I like the BMT the best.. and I like it with everything including jalapeno peppers. I like the vinegar and oil, along with the light mayonnaise. It is very good. We have 2 in town they are very busy all the time. We always buy the $5 footlongs. I eat half for lunch and half for supper when I get them.
