It’s a subway. Everyone’s been to subway. So that’s the bar. My 3 stars mean that it’s just fine for a subway. The sandwich was a little too much bread and not enough stuff, but this is how Subway has been for at least a decade. I went at 2:15 and there was no line at all. Check the other reviews and don’t go near here at noon. Ladies were friendly and fast. It’s much better than the subway on 5th that is filled with homeless people. Also, there’s a nice patio to eat at outside. Note though, this also apparently is the default«smoker’s patio» so depending on breeze, crowd, and your tolerance, this might not be an option.

Since I work nearby, I’m probably going to become a regular of all the restaurants within walking distance. Including this Subway. I’m glad that I’m to take my lunch closer to 1pm than noon; I can’t imagine how busy this place must get during the noon-time lunch hour. The employees seem to be nicer than at most other Subways. Might just be me, though.

Not a huge Subway fan but this location is near work and I’ve been a occasional patron over the years. Seems to be a better tun Subway than most… veggies always look fresh, staff seem a bit more friendly. Like I said, not a game changer, will only come occasionally, but feel good that this one is better than most.

Ahhhhh!!! Don’t make the mistake and come here at noon! I’ll take you about 15 minutes for that wait! My coworkers said if you come here like around 11:30, you’ll be fine. Just your typical subway, but located in a small food court in the courthouse.

I never will eat here again next time im definitely going to bring my own lunch. My sandwich is falling apart and my buffalo chicken sandwich should be called a bread sandwhich.

I love Subway. It’s good, really cheap, and a fast option for lunch. I’ve been to many a Subway in my life and this location is fine. It’s busy during the lunch hour. I find that if I wait just 15 minutes(12:15 p.m. or better yet, 12:30 p.m.), the line is a little better. Not short, but not that long either.(And even if the line is long, it’s a 10 – 15 minute wait, at most). Busy also means knowing what you want to order. Don’t diddle daddle and speak up so they get your order right. The veggies look/taste fresh(except the lettuce, which I’ve stopped eating). They also take debit/credit cards, which is not immediately apparent from walking up.

I needed a quick bathroom at downtown today there seems to be no bathrooms anywhere including ross, so i went in here and rushed to the bathroom and the lady yells«the bathroom is for customers only» and i was like ill buy something i was in the bathroom and the same lady kept knocking to hurry up! so i went to buy the subway and they rushed trough it like ridiculous, they didnt listen to me when i said no olives and i wanted more stuff and she just ignored me and threw the sandwich in the bag, horrible service horrible horrible horrible…

I’ve eaten at every Subway. I know a thing or two about Subway. This is Subway review #3. Pros for this location: — They make sandwiches. You can buy these sandwiches. — I used to work near here. — They are super quick at making orders. Cons — The longest lines in the history of the world during lunch. The line is masssssssive. — They are only open for lunch. They officially close at 5pm, but they are often closed much earlier. — They always run out of stuff like the different kinds of breads or meats. — Because they have such a long line, they tend to bark orders at customers and rush people through. It’s all about getting food quickly, not about a good experience. In other words, this place exists to feed people who work near the courthouse downtown during lunch hour. It is not a «real» Subway. It is more like an airport Subway. I have no idea why you would read a review about it. You are either here or you are not.

I have been to this Subway a couple times. It’s never been good but the last time was the last time. Melissa A.‘s review pretty much sums it up. It is generally crowded and they definitely rush you through. I get that. But they don’t listen, and the«made your way» thing is totally BS. I got a 12″ grilled chicken breast sandwich on wheat. The bread seemed really old — crumbly and tasteless. There are obviously strict instructions as far as how much of everything to put on the sandwich. I say«a lot of lettuce and tomato.» At that point it’s an anorexic sandwich with chicken(no cheese), light mayo, and some cucumbers. Load me up on the lettuce and tomato and I walk outta there satisfied. But I get the one little handful of lettuce that doesn’t go from end to end and a couple slices of tomato. Gee, thanks, and thanks for listening. Sandwiches are about proportionality. We all like different things on our sandwiches. There are several other sandwich options around the courthouse, each with its own flaws.(Most to-go sandwiches in the area are just too damn small.) At Subway, you absolutely sacrifice quality for quantity, and a big bad sandwich is just a bad sandwich.
