“Took my son there today because we had been dying to try this place. He got the "Rushmore" and I got the "Reuben" for myself and one to go for my daughter. Sandwiches were really delicious and reasonably priced. They had a huge crowd and we still got served our food extremely quickly. This place is not only awesome, but local. You are truly missing out if you don't go. We didn't even try the loaded potato soup, which looked delicious as well.”

“I here a bit as well as eat at a couple of the other locations. And let me say they make a really good sub. They just seem to care a bit more about the sandwich they make. Best example of this is Brandon. He has been making me the hot Italian sandwich lately and really takes pride in what he is doing. They have been absolutely delicious. This store just seems to always take pride in what they are doing!”

“Was traveling through Lexington and stopped here with some friends. Since I returned from Okinawa in 2014, I have not been to Subway a lot as it was the only American restaurant other than grease. Anyway, this place was awesome! Food was great, employees cared, a few of the people in there are regulars (atmosphere) and chatted with us. Easily a 5 out of 5!”

I had the Liberty which is a delicious country ham sandwich and my wife had the chicken salad croissant. Probably the best chicken salad we have had in a long time. The country ham sandwich did not disappoint either! We both had the home made potato chips. We will definitely go out of our way to eat here again and again!”

This isn’t the only location I see that they leave one person to handle everything!) He was the only person handling prep, cashier and the sandwich line etc!! Thankfully everyone was kind and patient and didn’t blame him durning the lunch hour rush!”

“I downloaded the app and was excited there was a bogo offer for subs on it. Tried to order from here and the app notified me this location wasn’t accepting coupons.I was really bummed about that. I know times are tough for businesses, but it seems a little disingenuous to not use coupons. I still got my family’s subs there anyway, and they were fine, but next time I’m going to go to the Subway by Trader Joe’s because it seems that they still accept coupons, and that’s a big deal to me.”

“Vegetarian options: one of the sandwiches, The Veggie, has no meat, and comes with both cheese and avocado spread at no extra cost. no other sandwiches on their menu don't charge for avocado spread. Dietary restrictions: they have breadless versions of all their sandwiches for anyone who can't have bread. they come wrapped in lettuce. none of their sandwiches or sides have any peanuts or tree nuts in them. as far as I'm aware the bread is egg free, but I'm not actually 100% sure on that, so don't rely on me saying that if you're allergic.”

“Stopped by yesterday, only because it was the most convienient place to get into. I used to be a big fan of Subway, years ago. I stopped going because of really poor service from people behind the counter and the fact that most of time, everything was really dirty. Behind the counter, the dining are and the rest rooms. Some people pay no attention to those things. I do. I walked in the door yesteday and immediately noticed a huge difference from past experiences. Everything looked and smelled clean. Absoutely perfect right down to the exceedingly pleasant young man that made my sandwich. Bravo Subway....This one you got exactly right.”

“I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Subway location. I ordered 30 box lunches to be picked up at the Main Street Subway, in Lexington. They were personally made by the owner and his wife. Each lunch box was perfect! Our order was accurate….not 1 error. The food was fresh and delicious. The order was timely, as well. Do not hesitate to dine in at this Subway location, or place larger orders for meetngs in the downtown area.”

Can't beat the prices compared to some of the competitors in the mall. I wish we had one in Somerset, Kentucky.”

“On 8/21/26 I went through the drive-thru and was served by a short Black woman who provided perhaps the best customer service I’ve experienced in years. She was an absolute delight and I literally left with a smile on my face. She talked to me like a person, even a friend, and not a number in the line. Most interactions at a drive-thru are not memorable, but she was certainly memorable to me. (Sorry I don’t have a name for a shout out)”

“I've ordered 600+ inches of sandwich both for myself and others at this location alone. Whether it's delivery or pickup the quality stays consistent. The staff are always friendly and never ignored about modification requests. I've noticed that they've had some staff come and go with turn over but for the most part they have a good dedicated core at this location. I have nothing but respect for my local JJs. Dietary restrictions: If you're trying to maintain a low carb diet and want to emphasize protein and fat macros a cheap unwhich from JJs is always a solid move. Especially in time crunches.”
