Food Sak Subway

Very friendly staff!!! Good lunch eats!!! Highly recommend :)

Service can be a little slow when the lunch rush hits, and the whole being inside a convenience store thing is a little awkward and confusing at first, but it’s the closest quick food to where I work. I always ask myself why I didn’t just pack a lunch when in line.

Ok, so. Are we supposed to review just the Subway, or the Sak? Or both?
Highway 30 is a very long stretch of road, and this in this industrial stretch, it is the ONLY game, for miles and miles around. Years ago, there was the glorious Yankee Pot Roast if you found yourself w/​a hunger, a bit closer to the St. John’s bridge. But jeez man. Even the one lonely gas station along this route couldn’t stay open — - not even the adult video store next to said gas station could stay open! Is this a cursed stretch of hwy for commerce, or what?
The food sak is noteworthy if for no other reason, than the owners seem to have a predilection for «Kick yo ass» hot sauce. As a hot sauce fan, this is NOT a particularly widely available hot sauce, and now that Sportsman’s warehouse has folded, there’s few outlets indeed, making this great sauce available.
The Subway is a subway, like any you’d expect in a sticky-​floored Plaid Pantry. Oh nostalgia!
Quick trip down Memory Lane, for fans of Qwikee Mart aficianados Beavis and Butthead: «heh heh heh heh… SAK!»

I never have written a one star review before, but this Subway is the first. I’ve eaten here a few times, and always regretted that I didn’t just go anywhere else. Or just get a few snacks from the convenience store it’s in.
Nothing ever seems to be fresh, the staff don’t seem like they could care if they tried, and the whole place just seems kind of dirty. I’d rather just go to another Subway (there are several close enough) or pretty much anywhere else in the NW Industrial neighborhood.

Once upon a time, I was like you guys: I made lots of money, and didn’t have to make my lunches at home. Two summers of working on 35^th street meant many trips to Food Sak for microwave burritos, energy drinks, and occassionally a footlong Ham sammie from the Subway station (pardon the pun) within the store.
It wasn’t the closet convenience store in the area to where I worked, but it was the only one that let you use debit/​credit cards — the next closet card-​friendly store was the 7-​Eleven in Linnton. However, more often than it should have, a trip to Food Sak would be very disappointing. It seemed as though their inventory counts were done inconsistantly throughout each month, leading to a few underwhelming lunches of Subway instead of microwave chimichangas.
Unfortunately, my days of working in NW have been over for a while. Unless I’m driving on 30 and desperately need Subway, an Amp Energy drink, or need to use the restroom (they actually have a public one), I probably won’t be back. However, back in the day, these guys came through in the clutch more than once for a hot lunch.
