Best Sandwich at Subway?

[malibumike]

What is the best sandwich for the money at Subway? Yes I know it may not be all that good compared to the other places but if you had to order, which one?

[ipsedixit]

Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken.

Followed by the Carne Asada sub.

[JoLi]

I've never heard of the Carne Asada sub! Is this regional only?

[amkirkland]

me neither

[JerryMe]

DS loves the sweet onion teriyaki.

Did not know about the carne asada!

I noticed that the Subway near me has breakfast items and they're open at 7am.

[tamerlanenj]

BMT with hot peppers.

Veggie delite with honey mustard is really good and about 250 calories.

[eve]

double turkey (no cheese), every topping except olives and hot peppers (yes, every one), oregano and a splash of the vinegarette. On Italian 6inch. It's like a salad on bread. My favorite. Bet it's pretty good on calories.

[p.j.]

Hi Eve,
I never thought to order double turkey when I tell the sandwich maker to leave out the cheese.
Do they charge extra for the double turkey?

When I do go to Subway (not very oftern), I generally get the hot chicken breast on wheat with no cheese and piles of veggies and honey mustard.

[revsharkie]

double meat is $1 on a 6-inch and $2 for a 12-inch.

[p.j.]

Thanks!

[davinagr]

Cold cut combo for me, no lettuce, mayo, olives or bell peppers...but I have them add cilantro, extra pickles, pepperocini's, cucumber and the shredded cheese on the top that they use for salads. Very tasty

[vicki_vale]

The best sandwich is the 4 for $10 special after 6 pm.

At that point, I go for maximum protein content for the dollar. That would be meatball with cheese. Or the hot chicken breast with honey mustard, cheese, olives, black pepper, herbs. Never the lettuce-- I think there are weird preservatives in it to prevent wilt.

[navygirl7]

Definitely Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I add black olives, banana peppers and tomoates. Pretty tasty....

[shanda013]

6 inch italian herbs n chz bread

sometimes turkey

peperjack chz, lotsa mayo, chipotle ranch, onions, lettuce, g peppers, tomato, olives, pickles, jalepenos salt n pepper and oregano

[ben61820]

dont wanna sound like a healthnut or anything but anyone else agree with me that subway wraps are pretty damn good? i have really gotten into the turkey wrap. but i think ive had all the wraps and like em all. i like the sandwiches, too, i think their bread is actually better than a lot of people give them credit for. lot of preservatives too tho. anyway, anyone else feel the wraps?

[tenacity]

ben,
I think the wraps are "decently edible". I've certainly eaten better food, and the low-carb wrap dough is definitely, um, chewy.... but I still like them. My favorite for a light lunch is the turkey bacon melt without the dressing and lots of veggies. Just warm enough and tasty from the bacon, and a mere 280 calories (remember, no dressing...).

My brother calls them "rubber wraps" because he hates the tortilla thingy.

My only objection overall is that they cost over $5! Ouch. Guess they know that we who generally like lower-carb are available for exploitation...

Seafood salad on wheat with mustard. It's addictive and I love it. I just moved though & didn't see it on my new local Subway menu. They better carry it down here!

[revsharkie]

Chicken bacon ranch.

Mike likes cold cut combos with double meat.

I miss fresh spinach; I don't like lettuce on sandwiches and always feel like I'm skimping on veggies, but I always liked to put on a little spinach.

[Covert Ops]

The chicken parmigiana, if I can get it.

If not, the meatball. For being one of the cheaper subs on the menu, it's very filling and tasty, and therefore a great value in my book.

[PaulF]

I haven't been to Subway in a long time for some reason, but I always order a tuna on wheat whenever I go. All I like on it are pickles and olives. Nothing else.

Weird, huh ... I really do like that sandwich.

[nypb]

I don't know if it's the 'best' but I do like a 6" tuna on whole wheat as well. Sometimes with pepperoncini, sometimes with black olives.

[Panini Guy]

Well, you have company. 99% of the time when I eat canned tuna, it's packed in olive oil on a fairly simple panini with olive tapenade and asiago. But about once every 3-4 months I get a craving for that mayo-soaked Subway tuna. I get it on whole wheat with American cheese and all the toppings save hot peppers or additional sauces.

[JerryMe]

Used to love the tuna on wheat w/ the pickles and olives! I always added jalapenos. It's been years since I've had that but my mouth is watering now. Always w/ Ruffles chips as the side, too.

[chef chicklet]

Turkey, avocado, onion, tomato, jalapeno and extra lettuce on a wheat roll.

[amkirkland]

I actually really like a veggie sub with all the veggies, except carrots (cause I don't think they belong on a sandwich in general) and cucumbers (cause cucumbers must be FRESH). This is really good at the few locations that have avocado. Mmmmm

[sasha1]

Don't hold it against me, I used to really like the steak and cheese, until they recently changed the recipe. They went from thin falling apart slices to chunky beef.

[squeaks]

I used to love the tuna sub, but then I learned that it contains 68 grams of fat!

Now I stick with the veggie delight or the veggie patty. The patty is surprisingly delicious!

[piccola]

I agree about the patty. And I dig the veggie delite, usually without the cheese - even better if you switch up the bread.

[Yaqo Homo]

I'm a sucker for their tuna, I have to admit. It's so ridiculously rich and pulverized smooth so that there's zero actual chunks of tuna left--it's like toothpaste! I order an entire 12 inch tuna on whole wheat with sweet peppers and black olives and spinach and tomatoes and lots of deli mustard. all in all, it seems to weigh at least 2 pounds, but it's a guilty pleasure. I wash it down with a diet peach flavored snapple. Bet you it wasn't part of Jared's diet plan

[rozz01]

Another vote for the patty... Especially with the chipoltle sauce and olives.

[Sugar Jones]

I'm addicted to the Veggie Delight with all the veggies, no cheese, and with avocado, on the wheat roll. Because I don't get the cheese, they always add extra veggies so it's huge. It's cheap and can't be very fattening. I crave it.

[NikiEsq]

I am not fan Subway.

However, as of late I am addicted to a aimple sandwich that just hits the spot for me:

Italian Bread
Turkey
Extra Mayo
American Cheese (Slices)
Cheddar Cheese (Shredded0
Lots of cucumbers

Yummmmmm too good

[EatFressh]

veggie max on italian herbs , not toasted .mayo , southwest , lettuce , cucumbers , banana peppers . YUUUMM

[woodleyparkhound]

I only ever get one, and that maybe twice a year: the Veggie Delight on Italian with chipotle mayo. It's very low-calorie and not bad at all. If I want a more substantial meal, I go elsewhere for a more satisfying calorie expenditure.

[vttp926]

the tuna on wheat with just lettuce and pickles use to be my favorite sandwich but my friend got me hooked on the sweet onion chicken teriyaki. doesn't taste anything like the teriyaki chicken we make for our restaurant but it is so good. gotta have a little bit of shredded cheese and the usual lettuce and pickles for me. but then i gotta have it toasted. that is what makes it the best.

[free sample addict aka Tracy L]

I know this is an old post but here goes: Chicken Pizziola: chicken breast, pepperoni, provolone, parmesan and marinara toasted on flat bread. No veggies, except bananan peppers if I order a 6 inch. If I order the 12 inch I usually have left overs and don't like the taste of the peppers after a day.

[givemecarbs]

If they had a gluten free bread option my friend would eat there every day.

[howlin]

12"seafood on parm/oreg bread (bread only toasted)double meat ,swiss cheese ,pickles ,black olives onions and sweet onion sauce.so good im outa hear going for one.thanks guys ya owe me 10 bucks(cnd)(parity doesnt mean a thing)

[TuteTibiImperes]

I'm with you on the Seafood. I don't usually like surimi, but I do like the way Subway does it.

I like mine with pepper jack, lettuce, tomatoe, onions, jalepenos, tons of pickles, and doused with vinegar.

[tracylee]

I used to love the Seafood sandwich, but haven't seen it here in the PNW in years.

[rockandroller1]

Nobody mentioned my favorite which is the Spicy Italian. It's less meat than the cold cut or BMT but just enough to give you a little oomph with the veggies.

I can't believe so many people like the chicken, it tastes really processed and has a gross texture to me.

[gordeaux]

They recently changed the "chicken breasts" to a formed, shaped, processed, foamy, patty type object, so now almost all of their meats are processed approximations of what they started off as. I'd probably order their tuna if I ever went there again since it is actual meat, but they use a sugary glop fake mayo/salad dressing substance to make their tuna salad, since it keeps longer with the added sugar. Tuna with gobs of sugar is not my idea of good eats, I'm done with subway unless it's for a veggie only sammich. I'd go there very often if they offered a premium selection of meats which were real. I love the veggie options. Sometimes I'll buy sliced real turkey or roast beef from a deli, and then go to subway and ask for a veggie sandwich, then make my own sandwich.

[Raids]

That's what I was thinking until I read your post. Spicy Italian for sure. I actually order it with mayo. How wrong is that?

[Kajikit]

I don't like their lunchmeats (too salty for me) so I usually go for a veggie delight with vinegar and lots of pepper. DH always has tuna... their meatball sandwich is very good too, but it has a bazillion calories.

[jeninfocus]

Second the Spicy Italian. I like it with letuce tomato black olives banana peppers red onion, and light mayo on wheat. Yum :)

[Big Bad Voodoo Lou]

Spicy Italian for me too, a 12" with provolone cheese on regular white bread. However, load mine up with spicy mustard, lettuce, extra tomatoes, onions, green peppers, extra jalapeno peppers, parmesan cheese, and a good squirt of either chipotle sauce or the vinaigrette.

[Bob W]

Definitely the Spicy Italian. 12 inch, on white or italian herb bread, with all of the veggies (esp. all of the peppers, green, banana, jalapeno, and hots), provolone, and vinaigrette.

I will occasionaly succumb to the lures of the tuna as well.

Despite the plaudits from many hounds, I will never touch that funny-looking chicken.

[mels]

Spicy Italian, though it isn't spicy. Must have oil & vinegar, salt & pepper, lettuce, tomato and banana peppers.

[masha bousha]

Spicy Italian. It's like a BMT without the skeezer ham.

[chairsitter]

Spicy Italian, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana pepper, oil and vinegar, on italian herbs and spices bread. Lots of good flavors, i'm having one right now! The sandwich actually looks incredible because of the color contrasts- you will make the Subway person hungry!

[woodleyparkhound]

Veggie Delight with chipotle sauce and lots of extra olives and banana peppers. This is my go-to lunch when I forget to bring mine. It's reasonably healthy, reasonably tasty and reasonably priced.

[xtianvane]

i have work a 3 subways so far its what i do :)
at one point we had the carne asada which was my favorite it was delicious but it was only for promotion.

my favorite sandwich is the sweet onion chicken teriyaki on italian herbs an cheese bread toasted with swiss cheese and onions toasted as well. lettuce,tomatoes bell pepers and jalapenios with sweet onion sauce an a little mayo.

a lot of people choose the spicy Italian for some reason but i have tried every single sandwich and that one is my least favorite it contains 10 salami and 10 peperoni its honestly not the best sandwich

subway has also salads,and pizzas

subway soups: broccoli cheese clam chowder chicken noodle chicken tortilla minestronee and bacon potato

chicken tortilla my favorite

.

[TuteTibiImperes]

I like the Spicy Italian because the Pepperoni and Salami are some of the most flavorful meats that Subway has, and if you have it toasted so that the fat in the meat starts to melt and soak into the bread, and the edges crisp up, even better.

Pepperoni subs are not uncommon in the mid-atlantic area. Where I used to live in DE there was a Country Maid Deli that had did great pepperoni subs (actually everything was pretty great there, once of the dissapointing things about Florida is that there are no WaWa's and no Country Maid delis).

[epfx]

Anything without their bread - always smell of feet and tastes like pencil shavings. YMMV .

[calabasas_trafalgar]

Meatball marinara w/pepperoni

[pombetom]

Oven roasted chicken on oat with:
pepper jack cheese
lots of spinach (no lettuce)
tomatoes
red onions
cucumber
olives
jalapenos
black pepper
southwest sauce
toasted, if available

[hynespb]

Spicy Italian with provolone, all veggies sans banana peppers and cucumbers, and the sweet onion sauce all on italian herb and cheese bread.

[mucho gordo]

I'll go along with the majority here. For me it's the tuna, spicy Italian, meatball, asada and one that no one else has mentioned, pastrami.

[GraydonCarter]

I stopped eating at subway when I heard the sandwhich maker say that B.M.T. means "Biggest, Meatiest, Tastiest."

[mucho gordo]

That sandwich maker is either a comedian or a liar.

[GraydonCarter]

No, the manager for that store said new employees are taught that response, that it is the standard company line. I'd be interested in knowing more. Talk about betraying your roots.

[tamerlanenj]

I thought it was "Big Meat Trio." hmm
