Subway

Advantages: Sub of the day is a bargain, large variety of choice
Disadvantages: Can be expensive, not as healthy as it seems

...Subway ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subway was co-founded by Fred DeLuca, a 17-year-old college freshman, and Dr. Peter Buck. The first outlet opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut on August 28, 1965 and was called Pete's Super Submarines. Subway proved very popular and now there are 28,867 stores worldwide in 86 countries, with 1168 of those in UK and Ireland. Cheese Steak, Meatball Marinara and Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Subs are the most popular with customers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Choice of bread and fillings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First of all you get to the counter, and you can clearly see all the choice you have, with large menu boards behind. You go to the front and then move along all the different fillings in order, as does the person behind you. It is kind of like being in a canteen and going along a line and choosing what you want...

Subway

Advantages: Quickness, Taste
Disadvantages: Can be unhealthy, false adverts

...Subway Review Subway is a worldwide chain restaurant with nearly 31,000 stores in 89 countries; it was created by Fed De Lua in 1974, an American from Connecticut. Most of the stores are quite small, the main product is ?subs,? short for submarine rolls, and sandwiches. Their main location is the United States, where they have most of their stores, however they also are based in many other countries, the main ones being Australia, the UK and Singapore. There are also subways in some unusual locations such as army bases. Where I live there are at least ten within twenty minutes, and in the main city I have counted at least four in the centre. However, it seems that the only place there isn?t one is my town, maybe that?s a good thing because I?d be spending too much money taking advantage of the special offers! The actual...

Subway! mmmmmmm!!

Advantages: Taste great, freshly made, lots of choice, refills on drinks
Disadvantages: beware the salt content

...About It seems now that subway are everywhere, the sandwich company that came from nowhere and within a few years are now one of the most popular fast food places in the UK. Subway can be more expensive than other fast food places depending on what you buy but with the introduction of 'The Sub of the Day' it seems that subway can be just as affordable as Mc Donalds or the Burger King. Subway is different to other fast food restaurant as you can chose how your sandwich is made and watch it being prepared. There is a sequence of steps that are followed in making any sandwich, firstly you choose your bread, you can choose from a range of breads including Italian, Italian Herbs and Cheese, Honey Oat, Parmesan Oregano, and Wheat Bread. Then you choose your filling, subway has loads of great sandwich types such as Italian BMT...

Popping into Subway for a roll

Advantages: Freshly made healthy sub rolls made on the spot
Disadvantages: Too many fillings to choose from

...interesting pieces of information. But that not me, however I will tell you a little information passed on to me by one of the Subway artists which is the Subway chain now has more outlets in the UK and Ireland that KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut and aim to have 2010 outlets in the British Isles by the year 2010. We already have 7 in the Nottingham city centre and I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more open within the next couple of years. I can certainly see why Subway has become so popular. Not only is the food healthy and value for money but it is made in front of you from fresh ingredients and you can pick and choose what you want on it. OK. Well that was my first experience of Subway and worth every penny, now please excuse me while I burp. Motherjoan © December 2006...

Subway review

Advantages: Great tasting subs
Disadvantages: Plain decor, can be expensive

...Subway is a franchise restaurant that primarily sells sandwiches and salads. It is the fastest growing franchise in the world, with over 30,000 franchises in 88 countries. It was founded in 1965 by Fred De Luca and Peter Buck. The main food sold in this store are sandwiches which are called 'subs'. These are fully customizable, there are many different types of bread to choose from, and you can also choose to have a 6-inch or a 12-inch sandwich (often called a 'footlong'), depending on your hunger. There are many different options of what to put in your sandwich, so everyone should be able to find at least one thing they like. They have more basic stuff like, chicken, ham and bacon, but also fillings like tuna and meatballs. For a healthier option they also have a wide variety of salad, including cucumber, lettuce, onion...

Review of Subway

Subway - Cheap as chips, well, almost!

Advantages: Deliciously fresh products, get to choose your own salad etc.
Disadvantages: Staff can seem a little wooden and queues can get quite long on weekends.

...My review is based on my experiences of the two Subway outlets I have visited in Harlow, Essex (there are actually three now within the space of a few miles). Upon entering the Subway they are both quite small but have some tables & chairs as well as some high stools and a bar or two to eat your sandwich on. You then enter the queue (pretty much always have to queue!) and then you are at the salad bar type area. First you will be asked to make your selection of baguette of which there are normally 4 (wheat, plain, italian herbs & cheese and something else - sorry can't remember), you can then choose whether you want a 6" or a 12" (footlong) sub. Then you will choose your main ingredients, i.e ham & cheese or cajun chicken etc, there are lots of sandwiches to choose from and the prices as well as the main ingredients are displayed...

Subway - My Sandwich Heaven

Advantages: Great tasting, low fat options, well priced sandwiches
Disadvantages: very popular, there's often a queue!

..., or have a large appetite, you'll probably want to share it as it's 12 inches long (ahem), but it's well worth the money. On days other than Tuesday, you're looking at between £2.10 and £3.00 for a 6 inch - you add £1.70 to double it's size to a Footlong. *****Delivery***** If you're having a party, or you work in an office and lots of people order, you can have your sandwiches made up fresh and delivered free of charge. Isn't that nice of them?! For more information go to: Your nearest store or www.subway.co.uk *****My Overall Opinion***** I really wish I had known about this place earlier. It has made me feel a whole lot better about buying ready made (take-out) food because I'm tired and can't be bothered to cook/don't want to have a million dishes to wash/don't have time to make a proper meal. They taste great, they...

Subway train, Submarine Sandwich

Advantages: tasty, quick
Disadvantages: can be long queues, expensive

...Subway, now almost as well known as the main fast food chains in the UK, like most of them it originated in America, and is operated as a franchise in the UK. They don't offer hamburgers or chips but a range of comparatively healthy sandwich options (orat least as healthy as you want to make it). The stores are all yellow and green on the outside, inside is standard wall paper with maps of the New York Subway system. The counter is a long thing which you walk along in the que, for the purpose of building your sub. At first the options are confusing unlike most fast food places if you order say 'chicken breast' then you also have to decide on the bread you want it on (usually around 4 options, although they wont always be avaliable as the bread is baked instore). The size of sub, the options here are 6inch or foot long - i have...

Review of Subway

I don't want 6 people manhandling my Sub thanks!!! SUBWAY

Advantages: The food is cheap and fast and it's possible to eat healthy
Disadvantages: Too many experiences with non hygienic servers mean I wont be returning!

...Subway has taken over the world or so it seems, there is at least Subway on most high streets in the UK. Officially the largest global single branded restaurant chain there are over 31000 branches worldwide - that's some monopoly! I remember when they first came to the UK, they were marketed as the healthy fresh fast food option, I guess in answer to the publics health fears about Macdonalds, Burger King et al. In fact there is a story used by Subway in their marketing campaign about a student who lost 245 pounds just by eating mostly of Subway sandwiches combined with exercise! THE FOOD: Set up in a conveyor belt type system, whereby you choose as follows: 1. Bread size (6" or footlong) 2. Bread type - includes wheat, honey oat, hearty italian etc. You can also have a wrap or a salad bowl 3. Fillings are wide ranging from hot such...

Subway sandwiches

Advantages: tasty sandwiches, good value
Disadvantages: may have to queue

...I was very suprised how all my friends seemed to love subway and couldn't quite get my head round why they seemed to crave the subway sandwiches! I found it very strange how people could get so addicted to these healthy sandwiches! I was then in town with one of my friends and she said do you want to go to subway so we went. I walked in and saw that you can pick your own bread fillings and sauces. You also have a choice of if you want a foot long sanwich or half a foot! I picked half a foot because a foot sounds like a really big sandwich! I am a vegetarian so opted for a veggie delight. They put cheese on it and I had it toasted then I picked my salad and sauces. My sandwich cost me about £2.39 and thought this was good value for money. They also do special deals where you can include a drink and crisps/cookie. In my opinion...
