Sub Sandwiches

[Storm]

When it comes to fast food, I mostly do subs. I rarely go to a McDonalds, a Burger King, a Taco Johns, etc.  I bet I have a least one sub a week for lunch. Every Friday is order inn day at work. Me and a bunch of my co workers order food in for lunch from someplace. Usually it's subs, and it's Jimmy Johns or Quiznos we order from (since they are the 2 that deliver). We have had some debate over who has the best subs and I thought I'd bring that question here to see what you all think.

Personally. I like Subway the best. I think they have the best bread (and, a wide variety of it at that). Also, I like that they let you choose the type of cheese you want. Furthermore, all of the free fixings you can add is another plus I really like about them. You can really customize your sub there!

After Subway I like Quiznos a lot too. I like toasted steak subs, and they have the best when it comes to that. Plus, they have a french dip sub! French Dips are one of my all time favorite sandwiches!

Jimmy Johns is OK, I guess. It's probably the place we order from the most at work. It's the place that most of my co workers really like. The things I don't like about Jimmy Johns though, is that I don't think their sub bread is all that great. Their wheat bread, on the other hand, for their on wheat option (which makes the sandwich a true sandwich on normal bread, not on sub bread) is really good. This is usually the route I go. I also don't like the fact that a lot of their sandwiches come without cheese and you have to pay to add that. Cheese is like a staple element of sandwich as far as I am concerned! It should be standard on all subs.

Cousins is OK too. Don't really go to one of those much. I am not even sure where the closest one to my house is.

Blimpies I don't care much for. Never really liked their subs. Haven't been to one in at least 5 years. maybe they have gotten better.

Of course, all this being said, even though Subway is my favorite place for subs when it comes to fast food, when it comes to a eat in, sit down lunch or dinner, nothing beats the hot hoaiges at the Carbones bar and restaurant right down the road from our place. My wife and I go there a few times a month for dinner and beers! I love their hot roast beef hoagie!

Well, this is a tough one.  For hot sammiches, I like Quiznos.  For cold, it's Jimmy John's for sure!

[Erynn]

I voted Quiznos, even though I eat at Subway more. I've never had Jimmy Jams, Cousins or Blimpies that I recall. I flat out refuse to eat at Erbs and Gerbs unless they have a soup I like, and then thats all I eat. I've had too many bad sandwiches from there.

i used to work at a subway. 

so yea, subway. i couldnt imagine anything other than a subway sub, they're just... perfect.

Mine isn't listed. We have heartstone bakery here and those are just... the bestest ever

*I would of course alter my vote in favor of any sub place that served rum tho*

I fell in love with Jimmy John's this year because there was one right down the road from my dorm.  They deliver till 3 in the morning, so that was handy.     I love their BLTs, the bread is amazing.

But I can still always go for a great Bacon Chicken Ranch toasted sub at Subway, too.

Well for the national chains Subway is our only choice unless we drive 60 miles to Quiznos. We do have a local pizza place that does custom cold subs and delivers, I really like them. Of course once I get my coffee shop open then mine will be my favorite  .

A Subway club, toasted, on Italian herb and cheese bread.  And at the limited time offer price of 5.00 for a footlong, there's two lunches there! 

The preceeding has been a paid advertisement for Subway, Eat Fresh!! 

I voted Jimmy Johns, myself.  The best I had was from a little gas station in Key West.  Cuban pork sammiches!! Heaven on bread, my friends, Heaven on bread!  AND they were open 24/7!!

Hehe.. I don't eat at ANY of the above!! But that's because I'm in the amazing city of Lafayette, LA.. where there is NOTHING to do except eat and drink. Here, they call subs "po-boys", like they did back home in Texas, and there are no less than 25 po-boy shops within a half hour of here. With so  many shops to choose from, there is absolutely no reason to go to any of the mass produced sub-shops listed in the poll.

My favorite so far (I still have a dozen shops to try, at least) is the alligator po-boy from BJ's. <insert drool here>.

Of the chains polled Quiznos my choice, but the best subs I've ever had are from Penn Station. Yum!

[Molden]

None of the above - My top 3 in Austin, TX

1. Jersey Mike's

2. Thundercloud Subs (local original)

3. Delaware Subs (University of Texas Tackle Jerry Sizemore couldn't get enough of that Philly Cheesesteak goodness! Brought it home!)

[Storm]

I kinda only listed the "chain" places on my poll, since I figured everyone would have their little, local home town favorites (kinda like my Carbones)....

But, heh, a good subs, a good sub....right!?...

I am happy to hear about them all!...

[Lord Zenok]

Firehouse subs are the best. They all the ones listed.

[maelstrom0370]

If it's local fare then Intermission Deli fer sure!!  They bake their own bread and the subs are like a foot thick when they pack everything on them!

[KeeperoftheBar]

It is not a chain but the absolute best (in my humble opinion) is The Pickle Barrel in Bozeman MT, across from the University.  And with each half sandwich you get to pick out your own dill.

In Houston, it has to be Lenny's.  Beats Subway and Quiznos hands down.
