I don't see why anyone would pay that much for Quizno's if they have a Jersey Mike's or Lenny's nearby.

Damn, I wish they expanded more (to here in NYC). I remember their roast beef sandwiches as being awesome while I was at Purdue.

Quiznos is very hit or miss in my book. Sometimes I nab a regular steakhouse dip for abour 5$ I decline the drink or chips as it tends to send me on a sugar crash. Anyhow

Im not sure the meat selections are any diffrent for the steakhouse dip or the prime rib or brisket cuts. Seems they pull it out of the same bin. Add to that the 'warm up' juice is the same for all the meat cuts. Sometimes they just dunk it so the meat is still cold and they send it through a 'toaster' thats set on warp speed to get the orders through faster. Ends up being worse than subway.

quiznos > subway

subway makes sandwiches for 3 year olds, crappy bread, no meat at all, cheese triangles.

i dont like going to subway and ordering a regular sandwich and getting 3 pieces of meat and 2 triangles of cheese, biggest ripoff evar.

quiznos, my african american buddy, she was an awesome worker, one of the reasons why some people went to the specific store she worked at. I mean, she could be the general manager any day and still deliver the best customer service. management team hated her because she was colored, told her to hit the road. after she left, no more customers.
they asked her back for help, but didn't hire her. I was like... why'd she help them if they didn't hire her? out of her kind heart, one store still standing because of that.
for that reason quiznos sucks in my eyes. their pricing is terrible compared to subway.

edit: did she go back, hell no

what the fvck are you talking about

I don't think their goal was to REPLACE Subway, but to fill a (large) Niche by upgrading the quality and taste of Subway and hoping that a large percentage of Subway's customers use Quizno's as another CHOICE. They are providing an 'upscale' sub experience. That is why you don't usually find Quizno's in ghettos or gas stations like you do subway.

The 'sales' marketing is something that just about every business does. I don't think that tactic is as bad as places who 'Feature' certain items but do not discount them. This lures some stupid people into believing it is 'on sale' then they realize a month later when it isn't featured, that it is still the same price (or even LOWER priced). This tactic works but I find it BS.

Good point....very similar to Starbucks vs Dunkin Donuts.

Add ham, subtract tomato and that's the exact same thing I get everytime I go there. On whole wheat, not toasted. I love their SW/chipotle sauce...always ask for extra. Man, now I'm craving Subway as opposed to the crappy frozen dinner I brought for lunch today.

I don't see why anyone would pay that much for Quizno's if they have a Jersey Mike's or Lenny's nearby.

I had never heard of Lenny's before but noticed one opened up over by my girlfriend's house. We figured we'd give it a try for lunch one day and I have to admit, that was probably the best sub I've ever had. If I had one closer to my part of town, I'd never eat at Subway again. Awesome bread, meats and cheeses. Super fresh and not too pricey.

I love that chipotle southwest sauce.. I wish I could get my hands on a large container of that $hit!
Try some of that on one of their breakfast sandwhiches... egg, bacon, green peppers, onions and southwest sauce.. .yum yumm

I guarantee their profit margin is virtually the same as Subway's.

I don't know what sandwiches you're getting at both places, but I think just the opposite is true.

I always get a BMT at Subway and it has a TON more meat on it than the couple sandwiches I've tried at Quiznos.

Stop buying from Quizno's real deal menu and get one of their signature or beef sandwiches.

Those are the subs that are 2-3 dollars more than Subway... because they have more meat on them.

Lenny's are mostly in the South. A Lenny's Loaded Chicken Philly is about the best sub going!
