Ordered a salad off uber eats. I recieved half a salad with hardly any toppings added. This location is very cheap with portions and toppings. Uber eats gave me a refund once I sent them a photo of the nightmare salad I recieved. I ordered the veggie delight and there was hardly any veggies on it.

December 18, 2024

I was picking up an uber eats order and the employee who is working Wednesday morning of the 18th refused to give me the order because I didn't bring in my bag. It is recommended but not required to have a delivery bag. He told me he didn't give a shit, told me to get out and gave me the middle finger. He looked unhygienic and I could smell him from across the counter so I wouldn't eat from that place.

I am obsessed with something called Subway. I’ve tried all of the locations and anytime I see a subway logo I go in and I order my favourite sandwich. Anyways, this is one of the worst locations I’ve been too so far. The employee who was there was an old man who spoke to me as though he was paying me to eat from there literally! his attitude towards me was disgusting to the point where I left and didn’t eat inside even though I was planning on eating inside the atmosphere was disgusting. thanks to him. Honestly good food but bad choice on employees!

Me and my friends were walking on the street and just happened to find this location. We didn't know what to expect, and what we found was far greater than we could have ever imagined. These new ice cream cookies were simply delectable. I can't quite remember the last time I had a dessert this delicious. I cannot recommend this location enough!!!

★★★★★

I work nearby and go to this location a few times a week. Each time, my coworkers and I are greeted with smiles and friendly banter by Idrees (owner) and company. They are all amazing people and give great recommendations on the food you order. The new ice cream sandwich is also a godsend and a staple of most future orders for myself. Can't recommend this place more. Would give 6 stars if I could.

My wife and I cant really afford Subway unless we receive coupons in the mail, but when we do we always make sure to come to this location for one reason- the service is outstanding. AJ is the Michelangelo of Sandwich Artisans. Not only is he hilarious, he has mastered the art of the sammy. He always has amazing suggestions that encourage us to try new things and we have never been anything short of delighted with his professional advice. I would honestly feel comfortable telling him to surprise me with whatever he makes. I trust him not only with my sandwich, but my life. I will be naming my firstborn after him. Make AJ the ceo of subway, he deserves it.

Always clean and well maintained place, staff is friendly. Two things I m most impressed with are the availability of items on menus specifically the veggie patty. Secondly they are open for long hours even late nights. Easy access on a late Sunday night. Vegetarian options: Veggie patty is almost never there in other locations, but here it s always available.

Amazing customer service, plus they made my regular veggie sub amazing. Me and my friend ate in and couldnt finish so the employee at the front even wrapped the rest up for us to go.

Very fast. Clean and renovated. Adults working cash and counter not children. Compared to the st Laurent location where the workers are high this place is miles ahead. Only downside is the homeless bum i had to scare off that thought itd be a good idea to make remarks at passing women. TLDR: Very nice and newly renovated subway. Lots of homeless people.

Cant really recommend the Stampede Brisket sub, its tiny, the meat is about 3 to 4 mm thick, barely any toppings on it, as is the sub is not even as tall as my thumb. Very disappointing for such an expensive item. I dont know if its just this location or Subway in general but DO NOT order the Stampede Brisket sub and maybe skip this Subway location completely.

Yes, I have been to this Subway. And the service was very clean and friendly. They served me one of my favorite sub the meatball sub with it all dressed and the combo deal. Its really tasty and satisfying and a well priced sub. Well, its been a while since then. So, Ill miss it. Good bye, Subway.

December 22, 2023

Absolutely horrible service I walked in today to order the same sub Ive been ordering for over 5 years at this point the man was already not so pleasant than I place my order I get about as far as him pulling the bread out and there is an issue with me ordering an item that has always been and still is on the menu a simple meatball marinara sub the man made this a big deal ohhh I can do it this time but next time it must be the new meatballer with extra items i wasnt interested we got to making my sub I asked for 3 topping but a large quantity of these toppings the man than decided to say to me I can put the whole container on the sub but everything has a limit I pay for My sub and out of at least 10 toppings I pick 3 I have never in my life had an issue over ordering my sub he was so beyond disrespectful I walked out while he was half way done making my sub and the man than threatened me what amazing customer service skills

At 161 Montreal Road, Ottawa. it was my first time stepping in side, the staff friendly and prompt. :) I ordered a sand-wich it turned out to be a 12 sandwich, the worker cut the sandwich in 1/2. I ate 1/2 and saved the other 1/2 for lunch on Friday. I go back again.

December 22, 2023

If you are in a super rush and they dont let you take your time to decide what you want on it the right place to go.also I said enough sauce but he put more even thought I said thats enough. I know Subway tells their employees 3 passes of sauce but its not a must when a costumer say stop.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced in any subway restaurant! They dont put enough what you ask for. Youre literally eating just the bread. If they save like that to all customers, I pity them. The funny thing is that the manager/owner is okay with it and I talked to him about and literally threw it at me after paying him!

Its your regular subway. Only plus side i saw is that they offer a dine in wsy to serve your food which you dont usually see in subways. If you have been to one before ypu know usually they just pack it for you or place it in a bag, while here they actually ask you if you want to dine in a provide a plate for you instead of wrapping it up.

December 22, 2018

Again bad service and he did not listen..I asked for sub not to be toasted..and get home and its hot, sorry I dont like hot sandwichs at all ...serve one person dont rush us and we wouldnt have this issue ..12 in in trash ..thanks team subway ..Ill never return

December 22, 2018

This place sucks. SO CHEAP ON VEGGIES. I had to ask 4 times for more veggies and he would add one veggie. On piece of veggie isnt MORE. Should have left then the sub tasted aweful and I asked for a cookie paid for a cookie but didnt get a cookie.

Refreshing place

December 22, 2018

I am a regular Subway eater and travel often with work, so have eaten in may across North America. This is actually one of the closest to my place, but I never go there. But I went back there to day and remembered why. These guys give you the hello Sir, yes Sir, right away sir treatment, like they are out of a 1950s black and white film, but meanwhile you get two shards of green pepper, a smidge of lettuce and the bare minimum of any other vegetable that would qualify as a topping. But then, when it comes adding extras, they go straight for them. No, I dont want guacamole on my meatball sub, thank you. And if you dont get the combo, you get the look instead. These guys really think that they are fooling people. And if youre just passing through and in a rush for a quick, healthy meal you wont think anything of it. But Im a regular, and I see them cutting corners. I am just really wondering how much can they be saving by limiting the amount of lettuce? Anyhow, thats why I eat at another Subway. Its a little farther away, but I can trust them to be professional with my lunch.
