Subway - Grilled Chicken Sandwich

I saw a Subway commercial the other day and it showed a very good-looking sandwich. It was called the Grilled Chicken foot long. It was only five dollars so I decided to have one for dinner.

The employee at the restaurant was pleasant and nice and began to make my sandwich. I asked for Italian bread and toasted please. I saw her cut the bread and proceed to place two thin white slabs of what I believed to be chicken on the bun. She then scooped out a ladle full of meatball sauce and spread it over the chicken. Into the microwave to toast it went.

* Cheese was $1 extra if wanted.
* Bacon was $1 extra if wanted.
* Any other meat add-on was $1 extra if wanted.

The sandwich was wrapped up and away I went. When I got it home, I unwrapped it, placed it on the counter and snapped this picture. It looked nothing like the television commercial sandwich. False advertising for sure.

But how did it taste?

Well, the Italian bread was OK. The meatball sauce was OK. The grilled chicken slabs were adequate. Of course the chicken was processed, not real chicken, but parts of the chicken. And that's it. Nothing else. Put it all together and you got a sandwich with no real taste, no real zing. However, the price of $5 dollars saved the sandwich from being a total loss.

Subway - Foot Long Steak And Cheese Sub

Subway Philly Cheese Steak

Last week I ordered the $8 dollar Big Philly Cheesesteak sub. Just the other day, I ordered the $6 dollar foot long steak and cheese sub. One was 6 bucks, the other 8 bucks. Upon close inspection, I could not distinguish any difference in the sandwiches. Except of course the $2 dollar cost.

The sandwich tasted exactly the same, with the same amount of chopped steak, was prepared the exact same way. (Toasted) But it was $2 dollars cheaper so it ranks a tad higher. My advice, do not order the Big Philly Cheesesteak, all you do is pay $2 dollars more.

Subway – Philly Cheese Steak Foot Long

Subway Philly Cheese Steak

Subway restaurant has plenty of sandwich selections. While I was waiting in line to place my order, I spied in the premium section the Big Philly Cheesesteak. When it was my turn, I ordered the foot long on Italian bread and asked for it to be toasted. It was built in just a few minutes.

The cost was $8 dollars for the foot long. The bread was fresh, and toasted, not burnt. The provolone cheese was fully melted, the chopped steak hot and juicy. A little pricey for 8 bucks, but if you don’t stick with the value menu, prices are high.

The taste was good as I noticed no fatty meat in the sandwich and had just the right texture. Mind you, this was no Geno’s or Pat’s Philly steaks, but for fast food, it was adequate.

Subway - $5 Dollar Meatball Sandwich

Subway Foot Long Meatball Sub

Five... Five dollar.... Five dollar foot long... At Subway. The Boardman and Youngstown, Ohio area has several Subway restaurants. I stopped at the one on Market Street in Boardman on the way home from work.

I walked up to the counter, the counter girl was pleasant and asked me what I wanted. I ordered the $5 dollar meatball sandwich with cheese on Italian bread. She asked if I wanted my sandwich toasted and I said yes.

I watched the small assembly line as she made my sandwich and then popped it into the over for approximately 30 seconds. She wrapped it and as the commercial stated, the cost was $5 dollars.

First, there were eight small sized meatballs, enough sauce, and adequate cheese. The meatballs were hot, the cheese melted, and the bun toasted. The taste surprised me. It was pretty good. I was expecting bland meatballs but these were just spicy enough. As with all meatball sandwich's, it was a bit messy to eat but I was able to handle it.

Subway - Eat Fresh

Subway, Eat fresh!

The Order: Twelve inch sub of turkey, American cheese, and bacon on Italian bread. Added extra turkey.

The Service: The order was incorrect or very very cheap. I paid for extra turkey and compared it to a regular sandwich and received the same amount. The American cheese ordered was actually provolone. The Italian bun was actually white bread. The bacon consisted of two pieces, one on each part of the sandwich.

The Taste: The bun was not fresh, was a little stale and was torn and beat up. The turkey was good, as was the cheese even though it was the wrong kind. It was filling.
Presentation: Wax paper wrap with Subway logo placed in a see through plastic bag.
The Value: This sandwich cost just under 8 bucks. That's about $4.00 to much.
The Rating: 1 out of 5 shots. Grassy Knoll Institute does NOT recommend Subway for lunch.
