Subway — Review by Daym Drops
Jersey, United States — Fast Casual Submarine Sandwiches
Daym Drops reviews a custom Subway sandwich inspired by the Moana movie meal, which he was unable to order as advertised. Despite customizing it with chicken, ham, cheese, and garlic aioli, the sandwich was served cold despite being toasted, resulting in bland flavors and disappointment. He harshly critiques Subway's declining quality and service, expressing frustration that this meal may have caused food poisoning that sidelined him from filming.
What was great: The drinks (though they don't come from Subway)
What could improve: Cold sandwich despite being toasted, poor flavor quality, lack of care in preparation, high prices with declining quality, overall poor quality compared to competitors
The Dishes
Daym ordered a custom sandwich built on Italian herb and cheese bread, combining teriyaki chicken and buffalo chicken with American cheese, shredded cheese, ham, and garlic aioli. He had requested the Moana movie meal but was told it was no longer available, so he asked the staff to create the sandwich using the Moana ingredients instead. The sandwich looked visually appealing with various toppings, but the critical issue was that despite requesting it toasted, the sandwich arrived freezing cold.
The Experience
Daym expressed frustration with the Subway location for still advertising the Moana movie meal on windows and billboards despite discontinuing it. He criticized the lack of effort and care from the staff, noting that they seemed indifferent to customer satisfaction. The service reflected a broader complaint about Subway's approach to quality and customer care throughout the review.
Value and Pricing
Daym paid approximately $25 for the sandwich, a bag of chips, and a drink. He considered this pricing excessive given the poor quality of the food, especially since prices have increased while quality has declined over the years.
Notable Moments
The flavors are decent and had it actually been warm, even lukewarm, it probably would have been tasty. But being the fact it's so cold, I can't love it. But right now, Subway, you drop the ball again.
Subway, why are you still open? That's my question. Why is Subway still a thing? Every other restaurant came and went.
You are not even mid. You're bare bone. You are the lowest level of basic ever.
Daym also revealed that this Subway meal was his last food before becoming severely ill, suggesting potential food poisoning that kept him bedridden for two days and prevented him from filming subsequent reviews.
The Verdict
Daym gives Subway an overwhelmingly negative review, questioning why the chain continues to operate and expressing that he has nothing positive to say about them. He believes Subway has fundamentally failed to maintain quality standards while raising prices, and he compares them unfavorably to competitors like Jersey Mike's, Firehouse Subs, and D'Angelo. He suggests the chain needs to leave the market entirely unless significant changes occur. This is not recommended for anyone seeking quality submarine sandwiches.
