Subway

They love to toast your sandwich and leave it on the counter till it gets cold. I guess no toasting is the safe way to go at this Subway.

Stopped here for lunch as the vegan restaurants are pretty non-​existent in this town. Subway has the veggie patty and that works for now. The staff are fast, friendly and work with the occasional smile. The place is clean but the parking lot is small so we had to drive by a couple of times because of lack of parking. That’s pretty much the only negative of this place.

Most people hit this place between the hours of 11:00am and 1:00pm. At least that is how it seems from the crowds of people! The Dalles could really use a 2^nd Subway. I feel the same way about Fred Meyers… we really need another one of those too! Anyway, I digress.
The reason I feel so compelled to review this Subway is based off of what I experience when I come in for lunch. Allow me to paint you a picture: It’s 12:30pm and all the blue collars in TD are out to grab a quick bite before slaving away for 4 to 5 more hours in front of a computer. You suddenly think «ummmm Subway. That’s what I’ll have». You arrive and fight your way through the tiny and uncomfortable parking lot only to head inside and WHOOOOAAAAA… where did all this people come from? This is frightening! You want to make a break for the door… but STOP. Is this line moving super quickly? Are the staff making sandwiches with efficiency and skill? And are they still friendly in the process? Well hot damn, it is and they are!
So yeah, this place gets crazy busy, but have a little patience because you will be in and out of there in no time with a foot long in tow. Cut the staff a little slack TD residents… they are trying hard and doing a pretty stand up job for the amount of crap they have to deal with on the daily.

Another great experience at This Subway excellent BMT and friendly customer service. Fresh ingredients excellent taste. Will be back for more in weeks to come. Shout out to owner and manager… You Rock!

Wow… felt like I was being drilled in the army. Got a sandwich for me and my kid and I was hounded by 3 different employees about two different sandwiches at once. I said yes to mayonnaise twice before the guy rolled his eyes and put one big nasty glop right in the middle. They must have been training because they made it very obvious that they were stressed out by the 3 people in line. Just breath guys… get it together!

This is just an ordinary subway with the same o’l fixing. What you can expect from here is slow service.
Granted, the place is clean and the staff are friendly.

Entrance to lot is super small — slow down a lot to turn in.
Staff is very friendly and helpful and are willing to take a foot long sandwich and customize it for 2 people. Woot!
Easy off and on the highway.
The «elderly» in the area tend to like this place too, and they are not fast… in fact they are slow and they order stupid things like hot water…
Other than that, just like any other subway!

On a reconnaissance trip to The Dalles looking for a place for my Mom to live we had that inevitable conversation come lunch time:
Me: Let’s take a break and get some lunch. What do you feel like?
Mom: I eat anything, what do you want?
Me: Do you feel like anything special?
Mom: Where ever you want to go.
Me: Well that’s not fair, if I pick something you don’t like it’ll be my fault for ruining lunch!
Mom: Exactly.
So it was up to me to find a safe place to go to lunch that would satisfy and not disappoint. Scanning the main drag in town I took into consideration the gastronomical capabilities of a 76 year old (feisty) woman. Subway loomed ahead and that seemed safe. Besides, it was July and the Buffalo Chicken Sub was the $ 5 footlong of the month. Win!
I liked the size of the place it was possibly the largest Subway I personally have seen before. I know why too, we were there about 12:30 and it was busy. This location had everything I needed from a Subway, fresh bread, friendly staff and something with buffalo sauce on it. Mom was happy with her choice too. My name is John E and I endorse this Subway location.

I have one problem with this place. On many occasions I have gone to this location in the evening and have wanted a bowl of their soup but they never have. It’s almost like they close before they actualy close. And the same goes for Their breads, it’s like after a certain point they just quit. So I’d you actualy want to make sure you get what you go for in the first place go early in the day so they will have it. Even though an establishment should have all menu items on hand as long as the doors are open, unless it was dealt, dealt busy and they completely ran out of stock.

Ooh, finally a «first» review for me.
Unfortunately, it’s of a Subway in The Dalles, Oregon.
What can I say about Subway?
It was near the interstate.
It was open.
It was preferable to Taco Bell.
