The Million Dollar Question: Subway or Quiznos?
 

I've always been a subway guy, but some of the recent subs that Quiznos has come out with have been killer and awesome. Still, Subway is the way to go, especially given the higher than normal prices from Quiznos.

Subway ^

Quiznos all the way for me..... I first discovered it on a trip to California a couple of years ago and have been excited every time I've seen a new Q in the UK since then. The fillings are more plentiful and of better quality, particularly the hot ones.

Quiznos^

Go hungry:p

Quiznos for me. I only eat at subway if that is my only option.

Walk past Subway and Quizno's and head round the corner to my local Italian sandwich place, and have a chicken escalope, bacon, mozzarella and sweet chilli panini.

Depends on my mood. Quizno's has a little more personality in their menu, while Subway is pretty much a basic sandwich.

Quizno's has better sandwiches. The price difference can be eased by using their frequently published coupons.

You get what you pay for
 

The meats at Quiznos are hand sliced in-store to preserve freshness and taste. Subway's meats are shipped to the stores pre-sliced and pre-packaged.

When I'm home, Firehouse Subs. At the local plant, Subway, but not 'cause I have a choice. Quizno's occasionally.

I really hunger for a sub from Angelina's, back in my original hometown, of Pittsfield, Ma. ^

I've only eaten once at a Quiznos so will be interested in the consensus of opinion. Subway meat seems to be very low quality and I try to avoid it.

Usually eat at Subway (due to availability) - but both of them are awful hoagie joints. If you're ever in Philadelphia and are interested in tasting what these sandwiches SHOULD taste like, try Sarcone's or Lee's Hoagie.

Once you eat one from either place - you'll be a snob like me!

:D

I'll take Quizno's over Subway any day.

Subway. A friend's teenage son works at Quizno's and...well, it is too awful to speak of in public. May be hideous things at Subway, too, but at least I don't know about it from an insider, ignorance being bliss, as they say.

Subway sandwiches are better airplane food. Quiznos sandwiches may have fresher-cut meat, but they can get really overcomplicated, oversauced and soggy/mushy if you don't eat them right away.

Six of one or half a dozen of the other. I'd say whichever is closer.

However...anyone notice that smell coming out of most Subway stores? It's not really baking bread like at a proper bakery.

For me Q comes before S. FWIW there seems to be a S about every 500 ft anymore and the Q are much rarer.

Usually Quizno's, but I'm also fond of that great feeder of drunk college students, Jimmy John's! ^

Quiznos but I really don't like any place that preslices their meats period.

Subway it is for me.

I have to say though, they've stopped the way I originally remember them cutting their bread. Instead of in half, as is the standard, Subway used to cut kind of a triangle out of the top, then put the "hat" back on once the meat and stuff was loaded. I preferred it that way as it seemed to be less messy to eat.

Silly, I know.

Yeah sometimes I'm eating in there with my wife, and about 30-45 minutes later when we return home, all our clothes smell like a bakery. It definitely makes you wonder...

^^

In an absolute worst case scenario, where I would die of hunger without nourishment, I would pick Subway. Quizno's is atrocious, Subway is atrocious - (minus) 3, by comparison.

Some of the same debate occurred earlier here.

Has there been a thread here on the best cold cuts / luncheon meats obtainable nationally, e.g. Boar's Head or ? If not, maybe it's time for a thorough discussion.

I just can't handle Subway meats unless I really spice up something like an Italian sub and try not think as I inhale it. :p

Ahh, the famous U-Gouge. That was a far superior way to slice the bread, but was too labor intensive. The current cutting method is faster. If you get an old-timer making your sandwich, you can ask for the U-Gouge. Most people will have no idea what you're talking about though.

Ah yes, I do remember that. One of the cooler things about them.

I go to Subway because they have wraps (less carbs), but if I abolutely, positively had to have a sandwich (all that bread), I would pick Quizno's.

But a Double Meat Animal Style from In 'n Out beats anything either Q or S has to offer! :)

Subway because you get to customize it item-by-item. Also because the crazy nut now running our local Quizno's refused to honor Mrs. z's "Q-card" because it had punches from a different store, and then yelled at her when she returned the sandwich which was not prepared the way it was requested.

Buh-bye from us and welcome to me using my veto if any of the gang at work ever suggest it.

Quiznos.

Sandwiches are more flavorable and varied compared to Subway even though more expensive. I personally like Jersey Mike's better than even one, though.

Quiznos for sure! it just seems so much fresher to me...

I'll eat Subway's meatballs but overall Quiznos has them beat on the meat...... theirs is much better than the pressed meat food stuff that Subway serves. Also usually coupons available if you do a websearch or buy the Entertainment guides if price is an issue. Their salads are great too!

Amen to you. Jersey Mike's is extremely hard to argue with.

I prefer Quizno's. I think it has a better menu overall. Although, a Subway meatball sandwich...

I vote Quizno's - love their Steakhouse Beef Dip!

Quizno's for sure . . . you are making me hungry!

The Quizno's near my house is run by a really horrible franchisee. The managers are all his cousins from back home, and they are terrible. They can't keep people on staff for more than a month, so every time I went in there I had to tell the people making the sandwiches how to do it (reading them the ingredients from the menu board) while the "manager" would strut around like a VIP doing absolutely nothing.

About 6 months ago I went in and ordered an Angus Steak salad. The girl had no clue how to make it, she asked her "manager" for help, he ignored her, she screwed it up but I took it anyway. Got it home and the lettuce at the bottom of the salad had turned to slime - it was disgusting. I was so angry I got back in my car, the shop was closing but I banged on the door til the "manager" finally opened it, and I showed him my slimy salad. "It comes packaged, it's not my fault" was his response. :mad: I let him have it - I told him that he had no business managing anything, that I felt sorry for the employees who had to deal with his laziness, that he was pathetic had no customer service skills and he should really reconsider his line of work. He was shaking like a leaf when he handed me my $5 back, and I have never returned. They have a permanent "Hiring" sign in their window.

So, in my part of town, it's Subway. I like their veggie sandwiches anyway.

itd be nice if there were sub places that let you just order standardized things instead of having to tell them everything individually yourself every time. and of course make sure to have otis spunkmeyer cookies :p

I'm definitely a Quiznos fan over Subway, as others have mentioned the quality of the ingredients outweighs the higher price. Seems as though not many agree with me here Down Under though, as Quiznos appears to have pretty much disappeared off the map, whereas Subway is now in pretty much every suburb and in every mall (sometimes multiple times! :eek: ).

Quizno's - I like warm sandwiches and I have found that the people who work at Quizno's are nicer!

I like Quizno's more, but eat more often at Subway because it's a) cheaper, b)less messy, and c)more convenient. Quizno's is more of a dinnertime treat for me when I don't feel like cooking :)


Many Subway sandwich artists will make it for you thatway if you ask them. I have a friend who asks every time and he always gets it (assuming they aren't too busy)
