Subway

I’ve been to many Subways over the years from small towns to downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at this location.
Some friends and I picked up sandwiches on the way to Live on the Drive on the parkway. I liked that the sandwich maker made our sandwiches with a bit of a show. I’ll be back.

Service has always been quick and polite

I’ve been so excited about the new development on Penn and Lowry Aves. I’m not even normally a fan of Subway, what with their corporate fast food business model and all, but when this opened up I thought it would at least be a place in the neighborhood where people can eat rather than hopping a bus and going halfway downtown to the Gyro place on James Ave.
I ate here tonight for the first time. Here is what went well:
The new Buffalo Chicken Sub is spectacular. They serve Dutch Crunch salt and vinegar chips. They are within walking distance of my home. Here is what could have made the experience better:
If anyone working here at 6:30 on this Friday evening spoke fluent English. Seriously, I’m not that xenophobe guy who bitches about this, but at least schedule a manager who can arbitrate customer disputes. It took me twenty minutes to wait for the guy in front of me to get his sandwich, and then I had to explain for another ten what it was that I wanted. I give three solid stars because it’s nice to have a reliable sandwich artist at my beck and call, but I give only three stars because there is so much room for improvement, both linguistically and parking… ly. Welcome to the neighborhood, Subway, and I hope you can find a groove that you can sell and we can buy.
