What makes Subway such a popular destination? It's quite obviously the sandwiches, but that
said, not all of Subway sandwiches are created equal. Some are irrefutably better than others.
Let's take a look at Subway's offerings, beginning with the worst of the worst and heading to
the very best.
When you visit Subway, the one thing you should absolutely never order is their Tuna sandwich.
Even if you love homemade tuna sandwiches, Subway's version is just disgusting. First
of all, they add way too much mayonnaise. Secondly, the mayo that this sandwich chain
uses is gross tasting and has a watery consistency. Third, many agree that something is really
wrong with the flavor of the tuna. It tastes nothing like the canned tuna you buy at the
supermarket. It's so different that the taste of Subway's tuna has got some people a bit
alarmed.
Recently, Subway was sued over their Tuna sandwich. In the lawsuit, plaintiffs claimed
that this sandwich contains no actual tuna and may not even contain any fish at all.
If that's true, that could explain why Subway's tuna tastes so strange. Yet, Subway has claimed
that its tuna is only fish with mayonnaise. Even if we find that Subway is right, after
all, you should still stay far away from this frankly grotesque sandwich. It just tastes
terrible no matter which vegetables you try to use in order to dress this sad sandwich
up. Pick any other sandwich at Subway and you'll assuredly be much happier.
Even if you're the most boring human being on this planet, there's no justifiable reason
for you to order the Veggie Delite sandwich. This dull sandwich comes with lettuce, spinach,
red onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green peppers on wheat bread. Sure, Subway has fresh
vegetables and yummy bread but instead of ordering a Veggie Delite, you can easily find
a better fast food salad that won't break your heart like this lunch.
"You know what I think we should do? I think we should just save the goodbyes for tomorrow,
at lunch."
"Oh. Ok."
Speaking of salads, Subway has a lot of salads on their menu these days. However, these things
are also a waste of time and money. Their salads are basically just their sandwiches
without the bread. If you don't like Subway's bread, you shouldn't even go to Subway in
the first place, making these salads a moot point at best. Unless you're a vegetarian
who is trapped inside of a Subway and you have no chance of escaping, don't order the
Veggie Delite sandwich or its salad equivalent.
If you adore authentic Philly cheesesteaks, you will absolutely hate Subway's Steak & Cheese
sandwich. This imposter sandwich tries to capitalize on what makes Philly cheesesteaks
popular but it's missing all the heart, soul, and scrumptiousness that makes the real deal
so unforgettable. Comparing a genuine Philly cheesesteak to a Steak & Cheese sandwich from
Subway would be like comparing a steak you can get at a top steakhouse to a steak you
find at the back of the freezer at your local dollar store.
The biggest issue with the Steak & Cheese is the steak half of the equation, which proves
to be a pretty difficult hurdle to overcome. The meat has a minimal amount of flavor and
the texture is overcooked and way too chewy. It comes with white American cheese that tastes
pretty good, but definitely not good enough for you to overlook the meat. The other default
ingredients of this sandwich are green peppers and red onions, which don't do much to elevate
the Steak & Cheese on their own.
On paper, it sounds like the Cold Cut Combo would be a diverse choice of meats and veggies
that will make things interesting. In reality, this sandwich is too plain and tepid to recommend.
The Cold Cut Combo sandwich comes with three different types of meat: salami, ham, and
bologna. Individually, those three varieties of meat don't disappoint. However, once that
threesome enters your mouth, the flavor is surprisingly underwhelming. You can't taste
the individual flavors of each cold cut, while there's very little spiciness or sweetness
to liven up the party.
Perhaps if you're a small child with a picky palate, this is an okay sandwich. For a fully
grown adult, however, you will be left wanting more. Deep in your heart, you will now know
that this sandwich deserves to be on the list of things you shouldn't order at Subway. Don't
let Happy Gilmore fool you.
"This fresh, delicious, tasty, meaty, turkey-filled Cold Cut Combo!"
The Buffalo Chicken sandwich at Subway isn't bad as you may think, but it also might not
be exactly what you're expecting. If you're anticipating something that tastes like Buffalo
wings, you might be disappointed. Instead of using chicken that has been deep-fried,
Subway uses grilled chicken. If you're cool with that substitution, then you may very
well enjoy this sandwich.
The grilled chicken in the sandwich is smothered with Frank's RedHot sauce, which is quite
possibly the best sauce of its kind. The Buffalo Chicken sandwich also comes with ranch, and
while Subway doesn't have the best fast food ranch, it's decent enough and serves its purpose
well.
If you know what you're getting and you keep your expectations in check, it's not a horrible
idea to order the Buffalo Chicken sandwich — even though you can do better.
The Black Forest Ham sandwich shouldn't be better than the Cold Cut Combo, but it is.
This just goes to prove that more isn't always better. If you order this sandwich, the flavor
of the black forest ham will have the room and the opportunity to shine and won't be
crowded with other meats angling for your attention. True, this is unlikely to be the
greatest ham that you've ever tasted but the texture is pleasant and its flavor is still
pretty good.
The basic ingredients that come with the Black Forest Ham sandwich are lettuce, spinach,
green peppers, red onions, cucumbers, and tomatoes. To help add some pizzazz to this
sandwich, you should strongly consider adding both cheese and sauce. If that's still not
enough excitement for your ham-hungry palate, consider adding black olives and banana peppers
for an added flavor boost.
While this sandwich is only average when compared to other fast food sandwiches out there in
the wide world, the Turkey Breast sandwich at Subway is still better than you might have
been expecting. Typically, sliced turkey in a sandwich has a neutral taste at best and
is only eaten when you're trying to follow a healthy diet. But, surprisingly, Subway's
sliced turkey is actually pretty good and flavorful. The turkey is oven-roasted, which
results in a flavor with a notable amount of depth.
If you don't alter anything, this sandwich comes on wheat bread with lettuce, spinach,
cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, and red onions. You could definitely add more to it
but you'll be satisfied even if you keep it as-is — especially considering that if you
do, this sandwich has only 219 calories per serving along with 20 grams of protein and
less than three grams of fat.
The Oven Roasted Chicken sandwich at Subway is a worthy choice that won't disappoint anyone
who's looking for good flavor in a fast food sandwich. Actually, it's even better than
it sounds.
When you first order this sandwich, you probably think you're going to get something with sad
little strips of chicken between slices of bread. That's not the case. Instead, you'll
receive a sandwich with a large chicken breast in it. The chicken is oven roasted in a way
that manages to lock in all the juices and flavor while still retaining decent texture.
If you think most Subway sandwiches are annoyingly dry, try ordering one of these and you will
likely be pleasantly surprised.
If you order the footlong version of the Oven Roasted Chicken sandwich, there will typically
be two large chicken breasts inside the assembly. As a bonus, the Oven Roasted Chicken sandwich
is a relatively healthy choice, depending in part on the additions you make to the sandwich.
So, what exactly is Subway's Italian B.M.T. sandwich, and why's it called that? The real
answer is actually pretty complicated and has almost nothing to do with the sandwich's
ingredients. Originally, Subway's B.M.T. sandwich was named after a part of the subway system
in New York City. However, the official explanation Subway gives these days is that B.M.T. stands
for "biggest, meatiest, tastiest."
That may be a weird retrofit of the original sandwich name, but it turns out that Subway
isn't lying. This sandwich is legitimately big, meaty, and tasty. The Italian B.M.T.
sandwich features black forest ham, spicy pepperoni, and Genoa salami as its meats.
While the Cold Cut Combo is monotonous despite having three types of meat, this sandwich
is vibrant from the first bite. You can clearly taste the ham, pepperoni, and salami and there
are enough flavors at play to keep your taste buds fully entertained for the duration of
your meal.
Bacon makes everything taste better, right? Melted cheese makes everything taste even
better, too. Combine bacon and melted cheese on a Subway sandwich and you probably won't
be stunned to learn that the result is nearly a culinary masterpiece.
The Chicken & Bacon Ranch sandwich begins with all-white strips of chicken that have
been marinated and seasoned to perfection. If you like tender chicken, you'll be in love.
Next up, strips of bacon are added to the sandwich. Then, Monterey cheddar cheese is
melted over the top of the chicken and the bacon. Add your toppings, and the savoriness
of all of these yummy ingredients will assuredly blow your mind.
The Meatball Marinara sandwich from Subway sounds like it'd be a gimmick. What would
a fast food restaurant know about meatballs or marinara, anyway? Surprisingly, though,
that's not the case. This Subway sandwich is actually one of the very best things on
their entire menu. This meal probably doesn't classify as authentic Italian food, sure,
but your taste buds won't dare to complain.
On the Meatball Marinara sandwich, you will discover flavorful meatballs that have been
immersed in a delectable marinara sauce. The tomatoey goodness of the marinara and the
Italian spices in the meatballs are glorious.
For a limited amount of time, Subway sold a Meatball Marinara sandwich that used plant-based
meatballs. It was actually quite tasty. If it ever becomes a permanent part of Subway's
menu, it would deserve a spot near the top of this ranking.
If your sweet tooth is pleading for nourishment the next time you're at Subway, one answer
is to order one of their criminally underrated cookies. Specifically, their White Chocolate
Macadamia Nut is a cookie you should try before you shuffle off this mortal coil. However,
there's another option, and it's not a baked good, apart from the bread. Pick the Sweet
Onion Chicken Teriyaki sandwich and your sweet tooth (and everything else in your mouth)
will be overjoyed.
The Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki sandwich contains chicken strips that have been glazed
with sweet teriyaki sauce until every inch of the chicken is completely covered. The
teriyaki sauce is really good, even compared to teriyaki sauce you can find at the classiest
Japanese restaurant in your city. The sweetness doesn't stop there, as the sandwich is also
doused with a liberal amount of sweet onion sauce. This fat-free sauce is so tasty that
you'll be licking all ten of your fingers at the end of your meal.
Many people believe that the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki sandwich is actually the best Subway
sandwich of them all. While it's very, very close, there's one sandwich that is just a
little bit better.
While it's certainly a close call, the Spicy Italian sandwich deserves to be named as the
best sandwich sold at Subway. First of all and most importantly, it's totally delicious.
The other reason why it deserves the title is that it's incredibly versatile. Pick any
bread, any sauce, any cheese, or any other topping Subway has to offer and it will go
perfectly with the Spicy Italian sandwich. This attribute allows you to create the sandwich
of your dreams without any reservations or second-guessing.
The meats on the Spicy Italian sandwich are Genoa salami and pepperoni, the two most distinctive
meats Subway sells. Combined, they have a gratifying spiciness and each bite pops with
a memorable amount of flavor. The veggies that come standard on this sandwich are lettuce,
cucumbers, green peppers, tomatoes, and red onions. But, again, feel free to customize
this bad boy to your heart's content. No matter what you pick, you'll be thrilled with the
results and you will be in full agreement that this is Subway's best sandwich.
