    Worse SUBWAY location ever. Employee behind the counter seems to lacking at his job, not working affectively and unefficiently. He couldn't delegate getting orders readily made on time for pick up. Being the only employee working after midnight. They're online order and doordash shelf was completely empty. Amongst walking inside, I noticed a few doordash drivers inside waiting for orders as more drivers and customers were coming in. An hour prior to picking up my online order. Which I placed on the app. Order was not made upon arrival. Waited and stayed for an hour with a group of dashers all gathered inside subway. He was behind with alotta orders. Customers Walked in and walked out, seeing all the chaos. This employee seemed unbothered and was not moving efficiently nor did he feel bothered. I noticed a mass of online and dash orders receipts accumulated all the way to floor. This location definitely has to get it together. Went to subway ended up staying at No way because No way, you’re gonna get your order on time. Be prepared to wait even when placing you order ahead.

    This was very disappointing. Went in and got 5 different sandwiches 2 were supposed to double meat and 1 that was a deluxe charged us 74 dollars and we didnt get what we were supposed to. None of our coupons went through and tried to argue with me about the food. The bread was stale and dry. I am not going back unless its the afternoon shift. Also didnt use clean knives to cut the sandwiches.

    Chicken was ice cold and also I asked for my bread to be lightly toasted they over toasted it. The sweet onion sauce was ice cold and jellied up.

    They won't remake or replace your food unless you go next door to oasis to speak to the owner. I received 3 pieces of green pepper on my 15 dollar foot long sub ordered extra cheese and only got three half slices and charged two extra dollars for it. Refused to replace my sub untll we went next door to tell his boss.

    I can’t say much about the place as this is my first time coming to this location since high school but I ordered two spicy Italian footings and my order did not have the correct cheese nor was it toasted, I haven’t even checked my bfs sandwich yet :| pls check and make sure you’re following the instructions printed on our to go receipts. Kinda bummed Update: upon my bfs return home from work we’ve come to find that his sandwich was also not correct. Being someone who previously worked at a subway and having all directions printed out for you to follow and not getting either sandwich correct is above and beyond for not following instructions, very disappointed.
