I lived in CT for 44 years. Subway is trash.

We do get subs at Publix. But never when we want it "soon." It took me 15 minutes standing in line just to get a sub ROLL yesterday, and there was only 1 person ahead of me in line. (I buy the rolls to make garlic bread and they don't sell that sub roll on the floor, only behind the deli).

That is the biggest downside to getting subs at Publix. They are notoriously slow.

Similar to what happens at Subway when you want a chicken sub.

It has already been cooked but they almost insist they must microwave before putting between the bread. When I asked if they have ever had a cold chicken sandwich they look at me like I have two heads before they make it my way.

This has happened at least a dozen subways up and down I 95.

This is what I find as well. We (my hubs and I) NEVER share a 12"! Our tastes are totally different (I won't go there!). I always ask for extra spinach and black olives on my 6". I just don't listen to what hubs asks for on his... I think he just does whatever they offer. I never get chips, rarely get a cookie, and always just drink water...yea, I know...I'm pretty boring

My husband likes eating a whole one usually. But once in awhile he's not hungry enough and we'll split a whole BMT. He likes his half fairly plain - just tomato, green pepper, a little onion. I like mine loaded: baby spinach, tomato, pepper, onion, olives, pickles, banana peppers, oregano. They "dress" each half of the same sandwich however you want, you just have to let them know. You pay for a footlong. Only exceptions is if you want double-meat or double-cheese or any other "extra cost" stuff on only half.

I'm with you, the only one left I believe is in Monona.

I love Subway, as far as fast food goes, it's good and it's a fairly healthy alternative. The only thing bad about it is I have to tell the sandwich artist what veggies I want - every single time.

Have you ever tried ordering online.? You pick the time for the pick up.No wait it's just setting in the cooler with your name on it. I use it all the time.

Prefer Publix over subway any day of the week.

I went to Firehouse once and would never go back. They were about to put my large Italian sub with everything on it into an oven. Luckily, I stopped them in time. When I got home and ate it, it wasn't even as good as Subway which are mediocre at best.

Jersey Mike's is the best around, although Publix is ver good as well. The only issue with getting a sub at Publix is the service. It seems that no one in the deli department has any idea of what they should be doing. It takes them forever to make a simply Italian sub.

I never tried the double meat but I might next time. What is the price difference?

dittos. we LOVED Subway in Ct., they used to be just about anywhere. bad luck choosing Jared though, i'm convinced he hurt the company in ways they will not forget. even the current generation knows the story

not everybody had Mom ^ Pop joints, wish we did. the closest thing for us would have been Public Market, Main St. Middletown, but i read they just closed up after decades of business. we had 1 deangelo's in the whole county, lol, & wasn't run very well, imo. when time allowed, we found EXCELLENT deli's in New Haven, or ride out to Rein's in vernon, i think it was, off 84W

Double meat is 3 dollars extra on a whole sub, 1.5 dollars on a half sub.

It was shocking and rather disappointing in finding out what Jared turned out to be.

I agree, D’Angelos is great but there are a couple of shops in our town that are outstanding. Nothing down south compares to the steak tip or cheese steak subs we can get in MA.

That is why the 2 times I have been I ordered a turkey sub. I do not like anything on my subs, just meat, bread and Mayo so they are very thin at Subway.
