    I have given this place a chance time and time again because I've loved subway for decades. This particular restaurant is the absolute worst I have ever been to. Many times I have ordered online and they closed early and I couldn't get the food I paid for and the last time my sandwich tasted so bad that I took one bite and threw it in the trash. The bread had to be two days old and on a footlong with tomatoes there was one little slice of tomato on each side. Im very disappointed and I hope the franchise does better as a whole because this store has ripped me off time and time again and I've had enough

    Exceptional Service from Brandon T.! I visited the restaurant on a rainy day when things were clearly hectic—Brandon was the only one working, handling orders, customers, and everything in between. Even under pressure, he remained calm, professional, and polite, treating every guest with genuine care and respect. What really stood out was how Brandon turned what could have been a stressful situation into a positive experience for everyone. His warm attitude, constant smile, and clear enjoyment of his job made a big impression. He kept things running smoothly and made customers feel valued, even when the restaurant was backed up. Brandon is manager material—the kind of person who leads by example. His professionalism, patience, and people skills make him a natural team leader. More people in customer service should model the way he works. Excellent job, Brandon!

    I placed an order for delivery that never arrived, no refund, restaurant will not answer the phone and I could not get support online.
