    I became a very regular customer (several times a week) at the Grand Lake Rd store several years ago when I became primary caregiver for my aging Uncle who had Celiac's disease. The care and attention the staff provided was exceptional. It would be disastrous if non gluten free ingredients ended up in his sub. Never had an issue once. It didn't take long before they all knew me and my Uncle's order. It was just one less thing I had to worry about during a very difficult time. I'm still very impressed with the variety, quality and freshness of toppings. The store is very clean and staff take a lot of pride in what they do.

    I normally don’t write negative feedback after a first bad experience, but today’s visit made me do it. I am also involved in the food business, so I understand how important customer service is and how negative reviews affect a business. We often go to this Grand Lake location and never had issues before, but today the service and preparation were very poor. The girl making our sub and wrap seemed new and didn’t know how to place the toppings properly everything was falling out, and the wrap wasn’t even closed, it was loosely wrapped. When another staff member named Karan responded in a rude and arrogant way, saying this is what happens when you ask for more toppings. That felt like being punished for simply asking for extra lettuce. We were starving so we didn’t argue, but we regretted accepting the food. Zero customer service. I hope the owner reads this and trains the staff properly.

    What happened to this location??? Very poorly managed now... Out of whole wheat sub buns, out of black olives (OR staff member was to lazy to look for more --> likely !!!) lettuce was brown/soggy and the tomatoes were nothing but a mushy/gooey mess. HEALTH INSPECTORS SHOULD VISIT THIS FRANCHISE LOCATION UNANNOUNCED ! Staff were not friendly either....rude ! We will not return to Subway...what a terrible location !!! Shame !!! Head office should look into this location !!! ASAP !!!
