However, the others in our group had reuben’s that were dry and a chicken avocado bacon sandwich — only a smear of avocado on the bread and it was difficult to find the bacon.. When the waitress was asked about the avocado she brought extra fresh slices. Something has happened to the delicious food we are use to.”

“After being refused service at the Jimmy John’s down the street, we decided to try Subway even though it would be the third Subway lunch this trip. We rolled up with 20 college athletes, 2 coaches and a driver and were greeted as they got right to work making our orders. No complaining, no scowls, no refusing our business like Jimmy John’s.
They were fast and professional and had all our food made in short order. Even customers who came in after us did not have to wait long to be served.
Way to go Subway, thanks for your hospitality!!”
