Subway is a large national chain of sandwich shops. The restaurant has several local locations, and could be described as the McDonald's of sandwiches. Any of these Davis franchises offers pretty much the same as any other Subway. All their sandwiches are tasty, just not very filling. Get a free 6" sub (of equal or lesser value) when you buy any 6" sub and a medium drink using your free Super Saver Card.

2005-11-06 18:03:13   The Subway at Mace and Chiles has a great deal too; after 3pm, you can get two footlong subs for about $7.50 - buy one and keep the other in your fridge. —JaredTrace

2005-12-16 10:20:06   I like the one at the UMall. Always quick and do extra stuff if I ask them (like heating up my roast beef). And it's cheap also =D Coupons everywhere in the mail —JoAnnaRich

2006-07-06 23:03:54   I've been to the Subway shop Downtown about four or five times, and every time the staff have been unfriendly and displayed poor customer service. They don't seem to care if customers come back, so I never will. Besides, Zia's, Togos and the MU CoHo are far, far better choices. —DukeMcAdow

2006-09-11 08:02:42   the people at the U mall seemed to have a good time laughing at me when I ordered my tuna sandwich toasted. I was annoyed to have a whole restaurant laughing and not tell me why. —RohiniJasavala

2006-10-01 19:03:27   Yea, the staff at the U-maill stares at you with ...weird...glares... —JamesLi

2006-10-19 14:35:07   At the downtown subway, they told me the 2 footlongs deal doesn't apply anymore to sandwiches with steak, which disappointed me greatly. I hope they change their sign soon. —NickSchmalenberger

2007-01-26 13:59:01   the staff at the UMall are pretty mean. They do laugh at you and say stuff about u in another language while u right in front of them. I had a friend go in there with me who spoke a language similar to theirs and apparently they like spreading gossip...even the father who works there too. Overall they dont know how to follow directions and are not friendly at all. Last time i went there one of the girls i specifically told her not to put hot pepers on my sandwich and she tried to sneak them on because she talked crap about me last time i was there and remembered me. Be careful there and definately watch them closely when they make ur food. The girls working there are awful. I wont ever be a customer at that subway again...Its disgusting how they treat people, seriously. —KimberlyMiller

2007-01-26 18:23:44   I too feel uncomfortable in the UMall Subway. As such I now go to the one across HWY 113. —TR

2007-03-20 03:56:19   I was at the one downtown about a year ago and as I was leaving I saw one of the workers go straight from mopping the floor to making someone's sandwich without washing his hands! Suffice to say I am not going to that particular Subway ever again. I have no major qualms with the other ones though. —SteveKent

2007-05-28 17:19:18   I wish I could experience what many of the people on here have said about the UMall Subway. It sounds really fake, to an extent. —JonathanMartinez

2007-06-04 17:23:55   I DO NOT recommend going to the Subway in East Davis (by HWY 113)... the people who work there must be the actual owners or something because they will sooo skimp you on the sandwich...basically hand you a loaf of bread with a small piece of lettuce and some meat. Worst sandwich I ever had there, and there deals SUCK. Caution: They'll charge you more then other subways, I learned the hardway. This place shouldnt even be a subway: THAT bad. —christyspencer

2007-06-04 23:43:42   Highway 113 is nowhere near East Davis... Fake comments indeed. —NickSchmalenberger

2007-06-18 03:01:46   UMall - very unprofessional. One guy cut his hand with the knife and kept slicing the sandwich. Needless to say I threw it out. —doug124

2007-07-21 21:55:57   More meat would be nice and thats it otherwise good taste for what it is i will be back again someday —dickjones

2007-07-23 19:28:33   It doesn't matter if christyspencer's comment is fake because that's what happened to me today! TOTALLY SKIMPED OUT ON MY SANDWICH!!!! UMALL SUBWAY SUCKS!!!! —MikeHubby

2007-08-19 20:58:30   I have eaten at the Oak Tree and Chiles locations, and I'm sorry to say that they are the worst Subways I've ever been in. The workers seem extremely undertrained, and the sandwich quality is substandard. Here's a typical example of my experiences: they were displaying a list of specialty sandwiches on a display board. I ordered one of the sandwiches. The gentleman behind the counter then started asking me which items I wanted on the sandwich. I told him that I just wanted the ones that normally came on the sandwich, but that didn't seem to help him at all. I literally had to walk over to the display and read off the list of ingredients on the sandwich so that he would know what I wanted. I won't return to these locations. —MattCzarnowski

2007-08-20 22:02:55   i perfer the u mall subway to the downtown subway. Some people skimp on the ingedients, but if they do i just ask for extra lettuce, extra... They no longer skimp on me anymore, because they know ill just ask for more :). It is really convenient for a post workout healthy meal since it is so close to the arc. —MattHh

2007-09-09 23:13:58   Went to East Davis location on Friday. Not too busy. The veggie delite was okay. They go light on the vinegar, so don't be shy and ask them to go heavy on it. :-) —Casey

2007-11-15 22:45:36   gross. never liked subway —KenichiSan

2007-12-01 22:18:01   I go to the downtown location a lot. I haven't had anything to complain about...and I complain about everything. —BradBenedict

2007-12-16 22:55:43   The last couple of times that I've had subway in central davis, I've felt slightly nauseated afterwards. And, no, the people who work there aren't particularly friendly. —Kiran

2007-12-17 00:36:36   I went to the Central Davis Subway around 9:50 at night and got two 12 inch subs to go, a chipotle cheese steak and a meatball, both on Italian parmesan bread. The steak one was better, which has usually been my experience with Subway. They could have been mad at me because they were about to close, but they were very nice, I had a good time. —NickSchmalenberger

2008-03-23 18:31:44   I hate the UMall Subway. The people who work there are a bunch of arrogant douchebags who skimp on everything. They gave me very little meat and cheese and like a few shreds of lettuce. They didn't even ask if I wanted mustard or mayo. I had to ask for what I wanted, instead of being offered what I should expect. Wost customer service ever. —EmilyTung

2008-03-27 16:41:29   managers are rude and service is poor at the WEST davis location. the one next to 113. horrible customer service. —markphillips

2008-04-02 18:14:13   I agree about one woman at the UMall Subway talking about customers (namely, me) in a different language to another employee. The other employee didn't partake in the talk though. Other than that, they've been pretty decent with me. When one talks about someone in another language, the someone is going to assume it's not positive, especially if the body language suggests it's not positive. —RonB

2008-05-01 11:37:39   The subway by Valero off mace blvd is bad. Everytime I go they are either rude or mess up my order and I noticed I got charged more there than for the same sandwhich at a different subway in town (not including the atm fee) —Kry

2008-06-13 20:51:50   I love them sandwiches! —jrendler

2008-08-19 11:46:21   The UMall Subway is easily the worst Subway I have ever been to in my life. The guys that work there are extremely rude—you have one guy who looks like a juiced out bulldog, and another guy who looks like an [name of his ethnicity] version of Bela Lugosi from the old Dracula movies. These guys obviously do not enjoy where they work at. My girlfriend also got creeped out by some guy by the way he was talking to her/serving her. Needless to say, after feeling disappointed several times here, I am not returning my business any longer. —ArlenKwong

2008-08-21 11:37:11   In regards to the UMall subway, i understand the other comments about the staff. However, if you get the right employee, the sub comes out fine. Also if you are not satisfied with the amount of lettuce/tomato they put on the sandwich, use the words "extra pickles" or "a little more" after the put item in question on, and they are usually happy to do so. Remember, people can't mind read how much lettuce you want on a sandwich. Also I am from the east coast (where they do subs right), and always add double meat to my subway sub, because then it actually becomes a sub and not a sandwich. I am also an avid TUNA fan, and it is to be know that the UMall subway makes the tuna CORRECT and NOT swimming in mayonnaise, the south davis tuna is drenched in mayo, and the Oaktree one is passable. —donjumpsuit

2008-09-21 03:21:39   THERE'S ONE PROBLEM.. IF YOU BUY THE $5 DOLLAR SUBS, THEY PUT LESS STUFF ON YOUR SUB AND TRY TO DO A HALF-AS JOB. IF YOU BUY A PREMIUM SUB, THEY TAKE THEIR TIME MAKING YOUR SUB. —2point0student

2008-10-09 17:50:56   The subway at the Nugget market is by far the best subway I've been too, and throughout my 4+ years of college I've been to every single subway in Davis more times than I care to admit. They are always relatively pleasant, and don't grumble when you ask for extra produce —Strategiry

2008-10-12 10:20:56   If you're ever hungry and want something cheap, $5 footlongs are the best! —feichu-huya

2008-11-04 18:29:26   I just came from the SUBWAY in DOWNTOWN DAVIS and they have FLIES!! flying around like crazy on their veggies and the plexiglas window. That is sooooo UNSANITARY I threw away my sandwich due to a lack of appetite. Every time a fly lands on food, it vomits digestive enzymes so that it can slurp the food. It also carries germs from wherever they've landed and onto your food. They have poor customer service as well, they don't listen to what I want on the sandwich. I am never ever going back again. You are really paying your $5 worth of a sandwich!!! =( —ucdavisjenn

2008-11-18 23:16:19   at the umall, the guy who looks like a beaten gorilla kept staring at the other girl working as he cut the bread. great idea... —ketan

Agreed. He's a dick. Looks as miserable as he feels working there. You sure as hell know it from the way he acts too.

2009-02-04 15:35:49   The Subway in East Davis on Covell is the best I've ever been to. The one downtown comes in second. But the one on Covell is awesome! They always have the bread cooked perfectly and the produce is always fresh. I went to a Subway in Sacramento and the bread was not fully cooked, and the vegetables were gross tasting and not fresh at all. We were there at 11am so they must have had it sitting out all night! Next day we had to rekindle our love for Subway, so we stuck with the Covell location. Thanks subway! —Rachelottlinger

2009-03-17 01:36:43   I frequent the UMall location, but I agree to an extent with some of the sentiments expressed by other people on this page. They have a few employees that tend to give "attitude," and are a little skimpy on ingredients. I either misspoke, or was misheard by the man taking my order, and he for some reason thought I wanted two sandwiches. I noticed this before he started on the second sandwich, telling him "I'm sorry, I only wanted one." He responded "You said two," to which I said "Sorry, I meant one." The employee continued to reiterate that I had said "two." I'm not sure why it mattered so much that he was right, or not, I just wanted my damned sandwich. This was not the first time where I'd felt he was a little less than customer friendly...I don't expect the guy to make small talk, but I also don't want to be mad dogged when I'm paying them to make me a freaking sandwich. But yeah...I don't know if there's something else he can do, but I would not put him out in the front if I were the employers. Definitely not the most savvy person in terms of interfacing with customers. —sososharp

2009-03-29 05:23:53   If you're on or around campus, skip the UMall Subway. Their soda fountain is very mediocre, and the sandwich wasn't great either. Go to the downtown location instead—been there quite a few times and I've never had a bad experience. —AlexChiang

2009-04-16 14:34:09   After experiencing ridiculously poor customer service, I feel that I must comment on this page. The employees that work @ the UMall Subway need to go to some customer service seminars. Not only do they look like they're pissed at you for your presence, but they speak to you like they don't give a $*!t. Here is a typical experience I have every time I go to Subway, including this afternoon. As I was looking at the new menu with increased prices, I was greeted with an annoyed and impatient mumble, "What do you want?" There was no "good afternoon", or "how may I help you". It was a mumbled, "what do you want?", like he wanted to beat me. There was no one behind me and it wasn't busy at all, yet the server impatiently repeated the question louder. I don't know how the server doesn't realize that I'm browsing the new menu with increased prices. So I ordered, and as my sandwich was being passed along, I had to repeat several times what toppings I wanted. "Everything but pickles", I said. I was met with a blank stare so I repeated loudly and clearly. Another blank stare but the server went to work putting toppings onto my sandwich that I did not want and withholding those I did request. I was made even more irritated, but by that time I just didn't give a damn anymore. I was hungry and just wanted to get out of there and eat my sandwich. Finally, and unfortunately, I have to give them my money. The employee mumbles very quickly something that sounds like "meal or sandwich?" I remember the first time I went to the Subway@Umall it took me about 30 seconds to realize what the hell they were saying. Because of my laziness to visit Subway in other parts of town, I resort to going to the one at Umall. However, after today's experience, I will no longer be returning. I have never in my life experienced such horrible customer service and after enduring it many times, today was was the last straw. Having worked in several customer service oriented establishments, I know that at the end of the day employees can be tired and a little grouchy. It's still no excuse to treat customers like $*!t and still take their money. —BenLee

2009-05-15 20:19:02   The one at U Mall has horrible customer service. They just seem like they have a broom up their A$$ all the time. Try not to give them the benefit of your business. Go somewhere else. —julpham

2009-05-31 21:28:09   The comments on this page about the UMall Subway scared me away, and I live a few blocks away from it. Instead, I biked 2 miles to the downtown Subway and my experience was perfectly acceptable. I ordered a chicken footlong and I'm happy to say that no toppings were skimped on, it was pretty much exactly like my experiences at a much busier subway in a much bigger city. —KellyM

2009-06-07 15:01:15   The employees at the UMall location really need to learn to listen. Pretty much every time I go, I see the same employees and I always have to repeat my order, even if I say I want two toppings. Also, today the avocado they put on my sandwich was clearly overripe; the flesh was completely brown. If I hadn't said anything, the employee just would have put it on my sandwich. The downtown location's employees are always friendly and courteous- what a nice change. —acparsons

2009-06-08 02:54:46   I've been to the downtown location a few times, they're pretty friendly and they seem to have light mayo (something the central davis location DOESN'T have). They also warm up the chicken in my sandwich correctly, as well.

The central davis location...wow, where do I begin? A lot of the negative comments above sum it up pretty well. Just to add onto it, though...they're definitely lazy and rude. Lazy because they warm up the chicken breast improperly. The chicken breasts sit out with everything else semi-frozen, and they just throw it on the bread when they toast it so when you eat your sandwich, it's still a bit cold. Other subways i've gone to heat the chicken separately. Also, they don't have light mayo. And when the $5 footlong promotion was still new, they had a time period where they removed it (although the downtown location still honored it). They're rude because they laugh/make fun of their customers, but try to do it secretly...

I can go on forever about this place! In a nutshell, give your business to another subway because the one at U-mall blows. —shopaholic

2009-07-24 02:36:33   One of the main guys downtown is super nice and friendly. The others are...not so much, haha. But seriously, a delicious, healthy meal for $5 is a great deal! —sm0729

2009-09-13 13:34:23   UMALL is TERRIBLE. CUSTOMER SERVICE is TERRIBLE. Employees need hearing aids to get orders and you need to either repeat your order fifty times or say it really loud like a staff seargeant when they are habituating toward you. As a psychology major, the UMall staff would greatly benefit from taking a few remedial perceptual psychology classes to learn to finer points of making sandwiches without hassle. The worst part about UMall is that when it is busy during lunchtime the employees decide to go on long smoke breaks. These guys are ridiculous! They still have the same employees and I am now a junior at Davis! One of them is a big mexican on steroids who impolitely grunts out his words and the other mexican is a small little beady-eyed guy who looks like he smokes too much dope before going to work. Either way UMALL SUCKS and they need to get their shit together if they want to stay in business. If it wasn't for the location next to the herd of asinine freshman, they woulda gona outta business a long time ago. AVOID UMALL AT ALL COSTS. They also skimp on meat and exhibit poor attitude. They are incapable of saying "Thank you and have a nice day" with a smile. Unless you are like a policeman or something it's "YOU WANT MEAL???" (kinda like "me so horny") and then "OK 5 DOLLAR." Note I am an English major and these guys are horrible at plurals. They also charge sporadic amounts - sometimes my meatball is 5 even and other times it is $5.55 because they had to use the power. UMALL IS HORRIBLE AVOID LIKE THE BLACK DEATH. RUDE, INCONSIDERATE, MONEY-GRUBBERS WHO EXPLOIT FRESHMAN AT UCD!!! —Andy890

2009-09-13 22:37:05   In contrast to Andy890's comment, I never found the UMall Subway's employees to be overtly foul in any manner, although I have experienced inconsistencies in their pricing. (I am also now a junior at Davis, although I don't know how relevant that is.) Yes, service can be slow sometimes during lunch, some employees there have a better grasp of English than others, and you sometimes have to repeat your order because it's loud inside but I never faced outright rudeness.

All I want is a sandwich. And I usually come out with a pretty good one for cheap here. Perhaps, and I am saying this sincerely, my standards are just not high enough. —kthrnngo

2009-10-06 16:56:29   I frequent the Downtown location several times a week and the employees are great. I have never had a complaint about them skimping on anything and if I ever want more of one thing or another, I never feel awkward about asking because of how the employees are. Their new buffalo chicken is great (double meat, 6 inch on wheat, no cheese, and just a tiny bite of lite ranch = 500-600 calories with 52g of protein = perfect for me since I already have an extremely low fat diet otherwise) and I intend on ordering that often. The only downside about his location is how cold it can get sometimes. Seems like they have no control over the air conditioning. —SunjeetBaadkar
