This nails it. You'll never walk away from a Subway thinking it was a tasty sandwich. It's literally "meh" filler food.

I wouldn't say it's terrible, you just gotta try out some different stuff.
Typical sandwich from me:
Italian Spicy on wheat, provolone and toasted. Lettuce, tomato, olives, banana peppers and chipotle sauce.
It's pretty good, but I think Jimmy Johns is 100X better. Only problem is JJ's is pretty expensive in comparison

But Subway's topping are very subpar. My gf and I went to Carlye Lake in early August and stopped by Subway to grab some sandwiches. The tomatoes were not ripe and the lettuce was somewhat wilted. Unripened tomatoes in this area at that time of year...really? It was pretty much an inedible BLT.
I don't think JJ's is that much more expensive at all. I think the sandwiches with more meat are like 5.75. And it's awesome bread and a ton of high quality meat. The sandwich is a hair smaller than Subway but seems more filling. Subway is like eating a salad on a piece of bread and if you get a meat like roast beef or turkey or ham you don't even taste it.

You may have competition there. I've had a Subway boycott going on for years.

Yea, but whenever I go to JJ's I gotta get me a Big John and a Pepe to feel full, :insert drooling smiley:
I never heard of JJ's until I came here for school, and it blows Subway out of the water, but $5 for a footlong sandwich is a good deal. It doesn't stack up to anything from JJ's at all, but it's not bad.
I like Subway just fine. We have a Blimpie's at my school that I not care for at all though. Jimmy John's is meh and I love Quizno's. I got whatever that sandwich was with steak. Then I spent the entire night making penis jokes.
