Best Sandwich at Subway?

Question

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?

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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?

Answer

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!

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

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!

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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)

Answer

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.

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Answer

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!

Answer

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.

Answer

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

Answer

Meatball marinara w/pepperoni

Answer

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

Answer

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

Answer

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.

Answer

Personally I love Italian herb and cheese with:

	Cold Cut with Pepper Jack cheese 
	Lettuce
	Onions
	Cucumbers
	Green peppers
	Lots and Lots of pickles
	(sometimes I like tomatoes
	With sweet onion sauce

Answer

The only sandwich at Subway I find edible is tuna on flatbread. Warm the flatbread before they make the sandwich, but do NOT heat the whole sandwich! I ask for one scoop of extra tuna, no cheese, onions, green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and a few banana peppers. Light drizzle of oil & vinegar, tiny bit of salt on the veggies and oregano. Delicious? No. But not bad. It's light enough to not make me feel weighed down and heavy enough to be satisfying. 

Ack! I didn't realize this was a 7-year old thread! Sorry, I'd have left it be!

Answer

Roast Beef on Italian herb and cheese with pepper jack (toasted), lettuce, green peppers, onions, cucumbers, sometimes tomato, and salt and pepper, chipotle, and a little bit of mayo. Delicious!

Answer

My Subway started carrying feta cheese, so my favorite is a Vegie Delight on wheat, no mayo, extra mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, pickles, red onions, and tons of pepperocinis. Tons. Feta and oil/vinegar/salt and pepper. I am a vinegar fiend, in case you can't tell :) I much prefer the old way they used to cut the bread. You used to be able to ask them to cut it the old way (the "U" shape), but now they just stare at you blankly.

Answer

I like the BMT on the Italian Herb and Cheese bread, with provolone, lettuce, green peppers, red onions, oregano, oil and vinegar. I crave it, actually. And I usually get a 12". Sigh. Kinda wishing they hadn't opened so near me.

Answer

They have a few good ones. Currently, their smokehouse chicken is quite good. I order it with pepperjack cheese, spinach and jalapenos on the cheddar bread.

Answer

sorry mike, but the best sandwich at subway is the one you don't get

Answer

I don't frequen tSubway much but sometimes it really does hit the spot. I like to make my own - roasted chicken breast with loads of veggies - usually double up on pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. I will sometimes add Provolone but the cheese isn't really worth it for me as it's not really that flavorful. I always get grilled with 1/2 the normal amount of honey mustard mixed with 1/2 sweet onion teriyaki or vinegar and oil.

Answer

I usually just stick with the ham and turkey and load it up with veggies, then some oil and vinegar to finish it off.

I can't stand the way they smash the hell out of their sandwiches when cutting them though.

Answer

There are five times as many posts in this thread than there are sandwiches at Subway.

Answer

Philly Cheese Steak
Red and Green Onions 
Chipotle Sauce

Answer

Spicy Italian, toasted, with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, olives, and yellow peppers. Top with oil & vinegar, add mayo/mustard if you like. To me, closest you'll get to a hot Italian sub outside of a decent deli.

Answer

Spicy italian, mixed shredded cheese, toasted, lettace, jalopenos, banana peppers, that really spicy sauce, honey mustard, mayo

Answer

Veggie on wheat with all the veggies, including lots of extra green olives and pickles. Southwest sauce and sub sauce. It's the only fast food I eat, but I eat it too frequently.

Answer

i know it sounds weird but tuna and bacon! i only put a little lettuce black olives and pickles on it sometimes a little mayo

Answer

Reading these posts, Canada seems to have a smaller menu that down in the US, but given that, my choice is usually fairly plain.

Their "bbq" chicken, on white, topped with bbq sauce, lettuce, cheese of course, and extra mayo.

Answer

My favorite has always been the meatball (with just added onions), and the cold cut combo (no jalapenos or banana peppers).

I once did see some guy order a "pizza sub" off menu, which is basically a meatball sub where they substitute pepperoni for the meatballs. I tried it once was just okay, not very filling either because it's just a thin layer of pepperoni.

Answer

Funny how this "best value" thread (OP 2006) immediately turned into "this is my favorite sub and here's everything I put on it." ? ;-) Updated for 2014, although I wish I could go back to 2006 and take that left turn at Albuquerque.

The best deal is usually the deal of the day. Heck, it seems like one day, we went for lunch, and they had $2 6 inch of something.

The black forest ham is supposedly $3 in June for a 6 inch, but I thought that they're specials changed daily and by store. Maybe I'll go check today because I have an errand right near a Subway.

Answer

Don’t eat subway often but had it today for lunch (will admit it wasn’t half bad)
Tomatoes (extra) , lettuce, pickles, both hot peppers, green peppers, cucumbers, both olives with cheddar cheese and hot sauce, toasted on wheat. Quick and satisfying for me!

Answer

Although the odors at the US outlets disgust me, I'll chime in and say that my favorite has been the shrimp and avocado in Japan.

Answer

cold cut combo on whatever bun looks the biggest and ask if it is fresh. Lettuce,tomatoes,green peppers,onions,lots of black olives(then ask for more) salt and peper and lots of mayo which they always seem out of and try to put the lite stuff on so you have to stop them and make them go get another bottle. Then I ask them to put hot peppers outside on top of the bun and they cannot grasp the concept. I like to chew on the hot peppers after I am finished. I have tried everything on the menu since work usually pays for it so I will try the expensive ones but am always left disappointed. Oh and their default processed cheese. No sense trying to eat healthy here.

Answer

Italian bmt on hearty Italian. Peppered cheese. Double meat and cheese. Extra lettuce peppers onions jalapeños. Sweet onion and chilli sauce . splash of salt. Made extra perfect if you turn up in the morning when they're making the bread and you get one fresh from the oven. Ohhhh

Answer

Forget the filling - I have never found a Subway with decent 'Hero/Wedgie/Sub' bread - it always seems like they have molded 'Wonder Bread' dough into the 'sandwich' shape - this has been true in Europe as well as US.

Answer

ham and pepperoni, american cheese on flatbread with all veggies except jalapenos and onions, with chipotle sauce and honey mustard. Sweet Jesus.

Answer

Before I stopped tolerating the awful odors emanating from Subway, my choice sandwich was the shrimp and avocado in Japan (might've had it in China too).

On an unrelated, price gouging-friendly note, a 12" at Panama City (Panama) airport cost as much as $14 (the lower end was around $11.50). No good food came out of that airport.

Answer

Italian, loaded with every veggie

Answer

subway is everywhere, and often it's a food court choice between subway mcds and cheap chinese. I get the steak and cheese on "Italian" with lettuce and cucumbers and mayo. unfortunately all they have is light mayo, but I do not feel as sick afterwards as if I were to eat fried fast food. I used to get the meatball sub on bus trips (again confined as that was the only choice). I wouldn't be able to handle their cold cuts.

Answer

Veggie delight now, before I became a vegetarian it was the chicken teriyaki.

Answer

Shucks, since the CH redesign, I can't tell as easily if I've already posted in a thread.

Anyway, I dug the shrimp avocado sandwich at Japanese Subways. Had it in Osaka, and maybe even Shenzhen, China.

Answer

Tuna- I don't even want to know the calories!
I maybe eat one twice a year, but I love their tuna sub, loaded.

Answer

Meatball with provolone and Creamy Sriracha sauce, toasted.

Answer

Veggie delite, all of their meats are sub par .

Answer

Chicken breast on flatbread with provolone, lettuce, pickles, olives, and mustard. Not exactly a health-bomb but it's my fav.

Answer

People have been not answering this question for almost ten years. Admittedly I didn't read every post so I may have missed something.

The question was best sandwich for the money. "Best" is a judgment. Calories? Nutrition? Something else?

"Best" for me is filling and nutritious. Value for money means a sandwich from the lower cost options, no cheese, and loaded up with veg. YMMV.

Answer

Chicken Pizziola on White, toasted with white and shredded cheese, spinach, onions green peppers, green and black olives, banana peppers/jalapeno peppers (whichever you prefer, and only if you want to add a bit of a kick to it), salt and pepper and parmesan cheese and chipotle southwest sauce. It is to die for.

Answer

I like the tuna sub. It's filling, inexpensive, and I get it with all the toppings except the lettuce, and ask for extra (diet) mayonnaise. (Why do they use diet mayonnaise and not offer regular mayonnaise?) Sometimes I ask them to tear out some of the bread on the inside of the bun--something they used to offer to do routinely. Now, you have to ask for it to be done and some employees don't know what you are talking about.

Answer

Chipotle chicken breast, no cheese, toasted, with spinach, pickels, tomatoes, and hot peppers on wheat.

The heat of the sub wilts the spinach, while the pickles and tomatoes add a cold component. 

Only thing I order there now...

Answer

Start off with flat bread. Get marinara sauce on half the flat bread and spread around. Then get tomato and spinach. Cover with Monterey Jack or provolone cheese. I usually add Parmesan cheese then get it toasted. Finishing touches are olives, salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar.

Answer

Me and my friends eat Spicy Itilian but put chicken patties and pepper jack chesse any toping with a LOT of south west chipoltly on it. It's the BEST sandwich ever only problem cost like 9.54 but you got to try it at least once.

Answer

I like the roasted chicken on wheat with bacon, and shredded cheese, toasted, with extra tomato, (s&p on the tomato) plus spinach and lettuce and a squeeze of lite mayo.

I like their tuna on wheat as well, also with extra tomato, etc.

Answer

I haven't eaten at a Subway in over a decade, but now I am intrigued by their promotional offer of $6 for any of their footlongs during the month of February. I saw an ad on locally broadcast television, and then went to Subway's website to confirm it:

http://www.subway.com/subwayroot/Menu_And_Nutrition/SixDollarPromotion/default.aspx

Thanks everyone for your input and opinions on your favorite Subway offerings.

In my explorations of what might be a worthy offering at Subway after my extended absence, I found this site, which was interesting to me, and may be of interest to others:

http://www.timeout.com/newyork/restaurants/all-17-subway-sandwiches-ranked-worst-to-best

It starts from least liked in the beginning of their survey to most liked at the end of it, which wasn't clear to me at first, but apparently I am slow. :-) It was posted in June of 2015. 

I will say that the last time I tried to eat a cheese steak at Subway it was quite horrible. Gray meat, anyone? 

I love a GOOD cheese steak, so I would love to hear specifically if Subway may have changed its ways in the horrible meat offering they used to pull from a crock for these sandwiches.

Otherwise, I lean toward the Turkey Italiano Melt (No. 16 of 17 in the linked article).

Answer

My first Subway sub remains my favorite: tuna on Italian bread (a/k/a "white bread" to the rest of us) with every vegetable they offer, except lettuce, which is bulky and takes over the sandwich if you let them put it on, and except banana peppers because the jalapenos take care of the spice aspect of the sandwich.

I always have to ask them to tear out the bread in the interior to get the correct bread to filling ratio. I like a lot of mayo, mustard, and vinegar and oil. You have to put on a lot of mayo to make up for the fact that they don't even offer real mayo. What they serve is "light" mayo and they will tell you that they have no regular mayo in the house. Why? I'm not dieting, so why enforce a diet condiment (or, alternatively, no condiment) on me?

Despite these drawbacks, Subway's tuna sub is delicious.

Answer

Well, thanks for your comments, ya'll, but they make me very likely to skip even this bargain promotion.

Cat food? Yikes! No thanks. :-()

Answer

How about them making some real bread? Really junky pasty stuff - just another form of Wonder (less) Bread - they may put 36 different 'additions' - but it still turns out to be toothpaste when you put it in your mouth.

Answer

Maybe it's because I live in a state that has great "grinders"/subs/hoagies at nearly every pizza place but I am not a huge fan of Subway. If I did go there I'd get either a tuna sub or a veggie and cheese one. The chicken, steak and meatballs (feetballs) scare me as does the selection of cold cuts.

Answer

I recommend the tuna sub on Italian bread with green pepper rings, jalapenos, onion, heavy mayo, light ballpark (yellow) mustard. Skip the lettuce, which interferes with the taste and adds nothing.
