Quick info
About Subway
Subway is a sandwich shop at 96 Portland St in Manchester, near Piccadilly and Oxford Road and next to a bus stop. The team makes sandwiches to order at the counter, and customers choose their own toppings. The BMT comes with a choice of sauces, and the smashed falafel sub is served on Italian cheese and herb bread. For something other than a sub, the menu also lists a jacket potato with tuna and cheese, along with salad boxes. The breads are made with British flour, and the cheese range includes vegan options. The large interior has a good number of tables. Late-night visitors can still get a sandwich here.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly, helpful counter service is what most reviewers single out, with several describing smiling staff, one who recommended a new sauce for a BMT, and another who held doors open for customers. One reviewer watched a staff member patiently train a newcomer, and another praised a new sandwich maker who seemed far more experienced than his first week suggested. A jacket potato with tuna and cheese gets a good word for tasting fresh, and the location near Piccadilly and a nearby bus stop is called convenient. Complaints centre on inconsistency. A few say staff can be rash and add toppings they were asked to leave off, and one says the preparer did not let them finish listing toppings before wrapping a smashed falafel sub. That reviewer found the Italian cheese and herb bread stale and poorly toasted. Another felt a salad box came less than half full. A final complaint is that the toilet was closed while the shop was still serving.

“I haven’t had the best experiences with this subway before but the new member of staff Oskar has completely changed that. He is chatty, knowledgeable, charismatic and amazing at making sandwiches!! He told me it was his first week and honestly I wouldn’t have been able to tell unless he’d said :)”

“Superb location to Piccadilly. Excellent customer service everyone seems so happy ! Even staff are opening doors to customers. Was in the q and the lady was training someone in so much patience taken. Excellent service overall. Fair play to everyone!”

“I had one of the worst experiences at this Subway outlet. I ordered a smashed falafel sub on Italian cheese and herb bread, but the entire process was extremely disappointing. The staff member preparing it seemed completely uninterested and didn’t even let me finish explaining what toppings and preferences I had before wrapping it up. There was no attention to detail or basic customer service. On top of that, the Italian cheese and herb bread was clearly not fresh and wasn’t toasted properly, which ruined the overall taste and texture. The sandwich felt rushed, poorly made, and careless. Overall, a very unprofessional experience. Definitely not visiting this outlet again.”
