my favorite subway to come to and I live in altoona (I don’t recommend Altoona or the subway near this one) I love the sweet lady’s who work in the mornings they are pretty quick and usually always have a positive attitude and they have great costumer service and teamwork , my other favorite workers are the ones who work after them which is when I usually come since it’s not as busy and the brother and sister work well together they have good costumer service and are pretty...

March 2025

Very kind and generous we came in asking if they could remake an order that we had ordered from another location (because the other location accepted an order while closed) normally they couldn't do that due to it being different owners but kindly said that they could make our order for half of what we already paid instead of having to pay for an entire order again.

February 2025

I'll go out of my way to visit this Subway. It's rare that I have issues with my food.

Parking: Parking lot is small. But rarely an issue.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Easily handicap accessible
