What to Eat at Subway How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Subway, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Wrap Net −1
“A child could have folded the wrap better! I wish I had taken pictures, very very poor standard. Its a Subway I get it, Im not paying for high quality service but overall very poor. They need new staff training on how to greet customers and actually make the wraps without it ripping and so customers can actually eat it.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check sauce. If ordering the marinara sandwich, check that the marinara sauce is actually included before leaving.
Verify pickup. For phone or online pickup, confirm the sandwich type and toppings at collection; one order arrived with different items and no vegetables.
Confirm portions. If paying for extra meat or cheese, check the sandwich before leaving because a reviewer said paid extras were missing.
Watch the wrap. For a rotisserie chicken wrap, confirm the portion and folding before accepting it; one reviewer reported one scoop and a wrap that ripped.
Clarify options. Ask staff to confirm menu ingredients and available additions before ordering, as reviews report confusion over meat and simple customisations.

The Bottom Line
Subway in Arjan suits a quick, customisable meal: you can build a sandwich or salad around your preferred vegetables, meat, cheese and sauces, then eat in or take it away. Reviews particularly mention fresh vegetables and meats, fast preparation and enough dine-in space to have lunch or take a call. The white chocolate macadamia cookie also gets a specific nostalgic mention.
Food quality is not the only story here. Many recent reviewers describe a clean restaurant, friendly service and patient help with custom requests. Meatballs and teriyaki chicken were welcomed when they returned to the menu, while roast beef was praised as a useful staff recommendation.
The sandwiches can be made to individual preferences, which is handy if you want to adjust fillings or toppings. The main caution is inconsistency. Some customers report excellent service, but others describe evening staff as rude or unhelpful, alongside confusion about menu ingredients, missing sauce, incorrect pickup orders and absent paid extras.
If you are collecting an order or choosing a specific sandwich, check the contents, sauces and extras before leaving. For a wrap, it is also worth checking that it is folded securely enough to eat without tearing.
