After being given a couple of recommendations from people and co-workers I finnally decided to give The Sub Station a try. I decided to try their steak and cheese. Being able to get whatever add-ons I wanted without extra cost is great, the fact that I didn't get much or that they weren't evenly distributed wasn't so much. I decided on a nice bowl of soup to go with the sandwich, watery cheddar and stiff broccoli. Which had to be microwaved before served.
And that was only my first experience.
Thinking it may have just been a bad day, or I made the wrong choice in sandwhich (which shouldnt happen in the first place) I chose a chicken sandwhich. Again, getting tons of add-ons the only consistent one was the slices of tomato and lettuce, I was lucky enough to count three pieces of chopped onion and there was No oil and vinegar. So I had to ask for some ranch, which was pitifully bland.
I could be just catching them on a bad day, but if everytime I go there is a bad day for them. Maybe I'll just stay away so they can have good ones from now on.
3X3 Analysis:
Pros:
- Nice amount of seating which is not intrusive to the order line or drink station.
- Decent wait time.
- Free refills (though I'm not sure if they were free or they just don't care).
Cons:
(I'll have to narrow this down as I am only putting the top three in)
- Bored or uninterested staff, it seems they'd much rather be somewhere else or doing anything but making food.
- Disinterested for the care of the sandwich, not one of the sandwiches I got were well built.
- Almost total lack of condiments, your only choice besides oil and vinegar is Sarachi sauce.
Final Decision:
I doubt I will be returning there by choice. If I absolutely have to I may just ask for some chips and a large soda. Maybe a pack or two of crackers. So long as its nothing they actually make.
