Bachelor on the Cheap
They’ve been the #1 selling sub shop in the nation for years and their success has put them near the top in all of fast food, ranking #3 in sales and #2 in number of restaurants.
Subway has recently gone through a makeover however, revamping their menu and upgrading their ingredients in order to stay ahead of the sub sandwich competition, which has become VERY competitive the last two years. Subway’s market share fell from 58% to 53% over that time frame.
Below is a list of Subway Archives, reviews of their promotional, limited time and regular menu items. Included in many of the reviews, are assessments of restaurant service, i.e., how long it took from time to order to receiving your food, how polite the staff was, etc.
How was your last Subway experience?
In a recent visit I sampled the Baja Steak & Jack sandwich and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Not only were the flavors there and more exciting than the old menu options, the sandwich prep itself was better than what I experienced in the past. Those factors contributed to Subway’s decline as the sandwich king in recent years, a ho-hum menu with average ingredients and food prep that was sloppy. But they seem to have stepped up their game.
So in enjoying that Baja Steak & Jack, today I decided to give the the Baja Chicken & Bacon Sub a try. Read On…
OK, I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of the never-ending Subway TV commercials and their “Eat Fresh Refresh” new menu campaign. Featuring sports stars, the commercials were mildly entertaining at first, but it’s now overkill. Watch a football game and you’ll get pummeled with the same Subway commercial over and over again and you’re able to recite the lines by half time. Read On…
I’m not a fan of either one of these places, each can be dubbed as the “McDonald’s” of their niche offerings. Subway is the “McDonald’s” of sub sandwiches, very convenient and available, but most everything on the menu is “eh”…. it’s average food at best. Hog Wild Pit BBQ – a regional chain – is the “McDonald’s” of BBQ, they have a lot of locations in my neck of the woods, they are convenient for when you’re in the mood for BBQ, but it’s very average BBQ at best. Read On…
For a limited time – through November 7th – Subway has finally jumped on the brisket train of popularity by offering what they call a Pit-Smoked Brisket Sandwich.
I’m into barbecue, a.k.a., BBQ, especially brisket, so even though it’s Subway (I’m not a big fan), I thought I’d give it a shot. Read On…
Who has the best sandwich? The worst?
For my first sub sandwich of the challenge, I headed to the nearest Subway, the supposed King of the Sub Shop and they are – in terms of sheer number of restaurants and gross sales. Read On…
