"Great sandwich. Meat and veggies fresh "
"The sandwich wasn't prepared as I ordered it. It was the wrong bread, 4 toppings I had selected were left off. It was a disappointment. I have not had a subway sandwich in a long time, because my husband felt like their quality wasn't the same. I was excited to have one delivered. I won't do that again."
