Ever since Subway utilized Jared as the face of their company, as well as their weight loss and healthy eating ad campaigns, Subway has been the dominant sandwich chain in the country. They continued to pick up steam with the slogan that you can’t get out of your head: 5 Dollar Footlong. These factors, among others, have allowed Subway to overtake McDonald’s as the most franchised fast food restaurant in the world. Meanwhile, chief competitor Quiznos has struggled mightily in recent years. I have always considered Quiznos to be better than Subway and recently made a trip to a near Quiznos for lunch.
One of the positives of Quiznos is their menu. It offers a wider variety of options compared to Subway. The options also offer a gourmet flair, with options such as the French Dip, Chicken Carbonara and more. There is also a little less of a factory assembly feel. Unfortunately, the commitment to quality has gone down a bit from about a decade ago. The sandwiches feature a bit less meat and now occasionally do suffer from the factory assembly quality that is too resemblant of the Subway standard.
Before heading over, I went online and found a coupon for a free small sandwich with the purchase of another and a fountain drink. For my first one, I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch, with the second being a Chicken Carbonara. The bread was a bit thin, but everything in the sandwiches had a decent taste. The creams worked well and while it could have used a little more meat, I still walked away with a higher opinion than the bland Subway offerings.
Food: 4.5
Price: 5.5
Overall: 4.5
