A gem of a Subway I've been to a lot of bad Subway sandwich shops. Dirty, slow, staff who couldn't care less about serving you, or uncaringly "assembling" your sandwich, not customizing your sandwich to your requests, dirty bathrooms, sticky floors, lack of inventory, handling cash then assembling your sandwich ... shall I go on? This location rocks my Subway world. The staff is quick and efficient, courteous and friendly. They know the standards for keeping their space clean and nobody I've never seen has taken cash from one customer then gone back to assembling another customer's sandwich. They always have a good selection of fresh breads from which to choose and they are never out of toppings or sauces [too, the sauce bottles are clean, clean, clean] and the snacks are always stocked. If you're in the hood and you're looking for a great Subway sandwich, this is the place to hit. Bravo, Subway S. Jefferson!

bruh. This is the most efficient Subway sammich shop I've ever been to. I actually ENJOY any chance I get to stop by. I'm amazed by the speed when the line is out of the door and the smile on the cashier's face. Much impressed. I had to deduct a star for Subways in general though, because stop asking me if I want my sub toasted. I promise, I will tell you if I do....toaster freaks.

Back in my younger and more stupid days, I used to be quite the one for the mosh pit (as many young men who came of age in the early 1990s were). There was just something about getting your aggression out in a space where it was perfectly societally acceptable that was wonderful. Sometimes this release of energy even worked in controlling verbal aggression against the incompetent fast food staff I would run into after concerts back in the day. Nowadays, as everyone who knows me in everyday life can tell you, I'm the nicest person to service industry workers there is (to the point where I often get ignored by them). But I swear to fate that my fists clinch up and I get ready for some verbal shoving the second I think about entering this particular Subway. A few years back this location changed ownership and started to hire worse and worse employees. There are a couple of holdovers in mid-management from years ago who must cry themselves to sleep at night having to deal with the new crop of employees. And it's been a slow decline that could easily have been stopped at just slightly incompetent (for example, the employees who think mustard and honey mustard are the same thing) or clueless (trying to put on jalepeno peppers as opposed to green peppers, but still stopping when the customer screams "no"). But the bleed of intellect is now down to people who McDonald's won't hire because they are scared to let them work around a fryer. On today's excursion, every single person in line at the same time as me had to scream at the counter people as they messed up the order. Every...single...one! I'm just amazed no one has jumped over the counter yet and started a fight with the staff. I mean, it's almost like this staff is inviting it. Like they want it. Like they've made this Subway a perfectly acceptable space for verbal abuse. I'm not going to give in, but it can't be much longer until someone does. Subway needs to stop running those inane, irony driven "$5 footlong" television commercial and use that money to get back to training "sandwich artists." This staff's only art is complete lack of ear-to-mind coordination.

I'm not the kind of Subway customer that tries to turn a $3 sandwich into two meals by asking for every ingredient under the sun. I've seen some customers try to make a Big Salad out of their 6" Club. At this location they've got the Fine Art of Arranging Slivers of Green Pepper to Look Like a House Salad, well, down to an art form! I seriously watched the guy yet again try to rearrange a measly 2 slices of green pepper to make it look fuller, and actually pretend to put more on my sandwich! Meat? Yeah, it's expensive. Veggies? Not at all! Put some (bleep) veggies on my sandwich!

The food is fine. It's a Subway. But this Subway says it is open until 3 on Saturdays and Sundays. I live nearby and have gone down multiple times around 2:45 only to find that it is closed. There's always a worker in there behind the counter, but the door is locked and they just ignore me. If you want to close at 2:30, then make that your hours. If your hours say 3, I expect you to be open until 3.

Oh My GOSH. Do not go here. I walked in to order a cookie and use the bathroom. Here's how the transaction went down: I ordered a cookie and handed the money to my husband so I could use the restroom. Walked over to the restroom to discover it was locked. The w(b)itch behind the counter goes "Yeah, the bathrooms are closed" Me: But I really, really, really have to go ((imagine me doing the dance that a 4 year old does when she needs to use the restroom)) "Lady" behind the counter in a sarcastic tone: Yeah, they're "really, really really" closed. WOW. There's a sign on the bathroom door that said they're for paying customers only. I totally get this--HENCE WHY I WAS BUYING SOMETHING. Thanks, lady. You suck.

Even if you are hungry, don't bother. These folks give the subway franchise a bad name. The staff at the Subway does not care about making sure you are taken care of...The manager's main concern is making that lovely dollar-dollar bill. He tried to cheat one of my friends out of their meal by overcharging. When she pointed it out to him, he got an attitude. I'm not one to complain about subway but you gotta draw the line sometime. Although it may be just $5 dollars for a subway meal, I have standards for service. Run if you see this subway. Walk up the street to the train station and get better service.

I'm always in a bad mood after I leave this Subway, but for some reason I'm in here at least once a week. The employees seem friendly enough, but they're more interested in talking to each other than they are about talking to the customers. They also seem to have hearing problems. I have to repeat myself multiple times for them to understand me, and I don't have a difficult order! Ham and cheese on wheat. No meal, just the sandwich. Not difficult, but somehow it seems like a hassle. Yesterday the woman behind me banged on the glass out of frustration because they simply weren't listening/understanding her. A bit of an overreaction, but I definitely understand her frustration.

Let me begin by saying that I love Subway sandwiches and salads enough to eat there about once or twice during each work week. It is affordable, accessible and most times fresh. However, I am writing today because I am frankly FED UP with the south jefferson location. This particular location is a half block walk from my home and the most convenient for me to visit on the way to and from work everyday. Unfortunately, this is also the ABSOLUTE WORST SUBWAY I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! I have overlooked minor shortcomings in the past however this morning, visiting this Subway for breakfast has left me with a very bitter taste in my mouth. To begin, I'll mention I was the only person ordering and only one of two people in the entire store. When I placed my order "footlong sausage, egg and cheese on Italian herb & cheese" the short gentleman behind the counter scoffed at me and asked if I 'really wanted a footlong?" At least that is what I think he said as it was nearly impossible to clearly understand him through his heavy accent. When I told his I was sure that I wanted a footlong, he proceeded protest and joke that I could not possibly want the larger sandwich. I reassured him once again that I was sure of my order (though at this point he made me feel rather embarrassed for ordering a large sandwich EVEN though I had planned to eat it for both breakfast and lunch). Once he was finally convinced he went on to ask me again what kind of bread I wanted, then asked me to repeat it because he did not understand. Next he automatically grabbed for the yellow egg product (which he visible felt in front of me and made a face because it was so hard). After I corrected him and insisted that I would like the egg white, he made the same puzzled face when he felt that all the egg whites were equally as firm. Instead of locating fresh egg whites he placed the first two in the microwave to 'soften them up.' At this point another man got in line behind me. The sandwich clerk again asked me what kind of meat I wanted and could not understand my request for sausage so he went to find another employee to translate. Once the request was clear there was no sausage in sight so the second employee produced some frozen product from the back and again placed it in the microwave to 'soften it up.' Once the meat and egg were assembled I had to ask three times to get an adequate amount of cheese on the sandwich, the end result was a still laughable amount of monterey cheddar...in fact the man behind me in line actually laughed out loud. After the cheese was on the sandwich the clerks automatically placed the sandwich on a rack to be toasted. When I protested the clerks argued with me and toasted the sandwich any way. At this point it may have been more useful for these employees to just decide what I wanted for breakfast for me. Once the final sandwich was ready I wanted the zesty cucumber sauce to top it off. The two employees had no idea what I was talking about until I pointed to a picture of the veggie falafel sandwich behind the counter. Then instead of attempting to locate the sauce i wanted they suggested I use ranch because it was similar and already in the sauce station. I finally ordered a couple cookies, which were the best part of this particular trip because they were fresh out of the oven. Once I had finally paid and collected my food I walked out the front door to find a third employee in full shirt/hat uniform smoking a cigarette right next to the door, YUCK! It is doubtful that I will ever return to this location. Instead i will walk the extra blocks to visit the one that is out of the way of work and home. However, I'm not sure that I will be eating at a Subway for a long time because this last freezer burned sandwich left a nasty taste in my mouth.

I frequent this Subway as its the most convenient place to swing by on my way home during lunch break. Its not as crowded with the 12pm lunch crowd as the other dining choices closer to work. My biggest gripe about this place is the staff. Like another reviewer said, the staff is more interested in chatting with each other. The lady at the cashier will be chatting and laughing with her coworkers while she rings you up. She just hands you your receipt without even looking at you or saying thank you. Very annoying! If there were other choices in the area, I'd stop eating here.

Good grief, I'm giving a Subway 4 stars. Their double turkey sub is actually quite nice. White meat, probably not reconstituted using heat and pressure, with chips and soda, comes out to be around $10. It's a little pricey for fast food, but you don't have to tip ;) It's clean, it's uncluttered, but please don't make me rate their bathroom -- with my office very close by, I've never had to use it.
