Subway

Sketchiest Subway I’ve ever been to. It’s inside a convenience store that sells lottery tickets and cigarettes, and smells faintly of marijuana. The people on the sidewalk outside are even sketchier.
The pictures on the menu are overflowing with meat (which looked like too much for me to handle, actually) but the wrap I got had a tiny pre-​portioned cardboard tray worth. The menu says you can get 50% more meat for another $ 1 or something, with an * and explanatory text down at the bottom which was literally too small for me to read. If you expect the sandwich you get to look anything like the picture, it seems you need to request the double.
Like Chipotle, it’s a bit of a hassle to order since you have to choose everything explicitly. I really don’t know what grinder toppings I *should* be putting into my chicken teriyaki wrap; I’ve never had it before and I’m too hungry to make detailed decisions right before lunch and I really just want the chef to have come up with some sensible defaults.
At least what I got was tasty, if not all that filling, which is probably good as I was aiming for something healthier than a carb+meat bomb.

One of the worst Subways you will go to. Yes, it’s in a convenience store, but more importantly a convenience store full of Central Square degenerate homeless drug addicts gambling away their government cheese on Keno at all of the tables that are supposed to be there for Subway customers to eat. Not only is the ambiance horrendous, but the Subway employees are some of the least intelligent /​poorly trained you will come across.

This is kinda in a seedy location, not the most comforting. Food is fine, ambiance is not. Also, security is not. It’s creepy and messy.
Watch your credit card if you use it. We had our cc number stolen after using it only here. :\

This is a subway inside a convenience store. I don’t expect high quality from subway in general, but this store is not very good in terms of freshness and general preparation. Sandwich was kind of mushy and lacking on ingredients, except for an overabundance of the «a little» vinegar I asked for.

After missing my bus connection one morning, I wandered into this subway/​convenience store for a sandwich. I ordered a 6 inch veggie sandwich and asked for extra cheese. Now, I have been to plenty of subways before and I am pretty sure that four slices of cheese (just enough to cover the sandwich once) is considered standard. She puts the regular amount of American cheese on the sandwich and asks if I want it toasted. I figure that she hadn’t heard me and say yes. The sandwich which comes out is barely warm. Like, I’m fairly certain there was no point in asking for it to be toasted. Now I get the feeling that these people are either cheap asses or have difficulty hearing. I start to list the toppings I want for my sandwich, at which point the lady making my food begins to argue with me about the order in which I am asking for things. She says that she wants to finish all the veggie toppings up first and then move to the condiments because then she doesn’t have to change her gloves. Um, wtf? Not only was I pissed by this time at her rude behavior but there is a five year old ringing up food. Which is fine with me, except after she rings me up and I pay, the woman starts bitching at her for not charging me for the «extra» cheese which was never really put on my sandwich to begin with. Another Indian woman comes out of the back room and asks if I have any change. I said I didn’t. She goes back and forth with the other woman and little girl for a bit and then has the audacity to tell me that it is ok this time, but next time I need to remember. Wait WHAT? I need to remember to tell the five year old girl what was on my sandwich? Perhaps if they had individuals over 16 working there, this wouldn’t be a problem. I am definitely stubborn enough to never come here again. Missed bus connection or not, the complete lack of good customer service, social skills and common sense are enough for me to hike down Mass ave in search of something else. A few bad reviews may not put them out of business. However, the owners of this Subway should probably keep in mind that a complete lack of manners and no customers will put them out of business.

The Top 5 Ways You Know A Subway is Horrendous
5) You’re located in a convenient store.
4) That convenient store is sketchy/​dirty to begin with.
3) The chicken tastes like it is a cooked, rubber dog toy.
2) While in line, you get asked if you have any cigarettes.
1) You can «Eat Fresh“er at Dunkin Donuts.
I love Subway. I actually used to go to Subway for dinner 3+ times per week back when I was a bachelor. But I actually go out of my way to avoid this location.

Most of the Subways that I’ve been to are decent, but this one takes the cake for being the worst one that I’ve ever been to.
There’s a plaque on the wall that says «This Subway Franchise is proudly owned by (I forget the first name) Patel.»
The reason why this Subway sucks is because Miss Patel and/​or her Subway Franchise is cheaper than a free trolley tours map.
I walked in and was greeted by the woman behind the counter.
I ordered a footlong Steak and Cheese sub and chose the type of cheese that I wanted.
I asked for the sub to be toasted (with most subways, you don’t need to ask, they toast it by default). She put it in but stopped the oven prematurely at about 10 seconds in (the sub wasn’t even hot yet at that point) What, are you trying to save on electricity or something?
Then she asked which vegetables I wanted. I ordered:
Lettuce, and a thin line of lettuce on the sub.
Green Peppers, of which there was a negligible amount
Onions, which she also put a negligible amount on,
and Pickles, of which she put TWO on the sub, one on each side.
I asked for more pickles and she ignored me. So, I asked for barbeque sauce and was given a thin line. I asked for salt and pepper and she barely tipped the nearly-​empty container over.
At this point I wanted to walk out and not pay for the sandwich, but my escape route has been blocked! There were people in line behind me. I was hungry so I paid for it anyway. That was the last 5 bucks this subway will get from me.

It’s a Subway. In fact, it’s the only one in Central Square, and it’s a decently cheap option considering some of the other places in the area aren’t as cheap (Four Burgers, ABP, etc.). It’s in a convenience store, which looks like your average Convenience Store (like the Grampy’s that Villa Mexico is in)
They do what they need to do, though I’ve had interesting experiences here. I once ordered a wrap, and the girl making it asked me whether I was ordering a wrap because I didn’t want to get fat.
Honestly, I just wanted a wrap. I wasn’t offended, and it wasn’t the weirdest thing that has happened to me in Boston, but it was interesting.

One of the cleanest Subways I’ve ever seen! If I knew the name of the corner store it is housed in, I’d actually bump the corner store’s rating because of the Subway. Since this Subway is disguised as a corner market, and I actually began to doubt its existence… Until I walked in and saw it all the way in the back left hand corner, surrounded by scary dudes scratching lotto scratchers and typical convenience store shelves. All of the ingredients are pristinely displayed behind the spotless glass, and the veggies looked as fresh as they could possibly be.
The sandwich engineers were polite, helpful, and friendly, and my sandwich was perfectly stuffed with ingredients — no sloppy spillover here. The prices here are great, just like any other franchise location, and I love the fact I can get something healthy — even though I want to strangle Jared.
