“Geoff and his staff at Morning Owl Woodward prepared a delicious sandwich, veggie, fruit and pastry lunch for our staff at Halpenny Insurance. Morning Owl is a real gem in the Carlington community. Amazing service, exceptional coffee and food, and wonderful catering. Geoff and his staff always greet their customers with a smile and bend over backwards for anyone who visits. Many thanks!“

“fresh ingredients and friendly staff! definitely going back- the whole menu looks delicious!“

“one of the best foods (sandwich, poutine, brownies and smash burger) in town! The owners (Manny and Tom) are truly amazing and the best and offer 110% quality customer service. Definitely try this place out! All the best to The Sandwich Stop!“

“Love everything about this place. The sandwiches are super delicious, the atmosphere is so community-minded and the staff are awesome. Owners Leiland and James are such lovely, personable people. Would absolutely recommend District Deli to anyone looking for Ottawa's best sammy!“

“This place made me feel like if I was in Italy once again! The food was great and the staff was welcoming and attentive. We shared a sandwich between two people since the portions were big. And we finished it off with 2 cannoli. The atmosphere was definitely pleasant, very relaxed. You can play some board games while you wait for the food. Will come back to try the other sandwiches.“

“Now that was a fantastical tuna sandwich! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place ! I found it through a Google maps search for a sandwich place while I was near the area and decided to check it out. So delicious... I’ll be back!“

“from the pictures and the kind words related to the owner and marketing of the products I can only imagine supreme deliciousness and more than 6000 fellow members of the newcomers in Ottawa group ☺️❤️🌎yummy“

“Absolutely the best sub I’ve ever had! MR. SUB delivers every time with fresh ingredients, great flavor, and generous portions. The place is always clean and well-kept, which makes the whole experience even better. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. You can really tell they care about their customers. Highly recommended—this spot has definitely become my go-to for subs!“

“Chicken Bacon Avocado Sandwich – Simply the Best!

The Chicken Bacon Avocado sandwich is hands down the best item on the menu. I love the fresh, flavorful bread they use, and the service is quick and convenient. I always pair it with a small side of pasta salad, which makes the meal even better. Highly recommended!“

“Came in for a 6-foot long sandwich using one of my coupons and ended up buying a footlong instead sandwich because of Karan. I had such great service and he was super friendly with a positive attitude. By far one of the best experience and sandwiches I’ve had in a while at subway!“

“I receive an email from Pita Pit for my birthday. I was getting 500 points. It s my favorite place. Best pita.“

“Stopped by this Subway and had a mixed experience. A lot of menu items were out of stock, which made it frustrating to figure out what to order. Not the staff’s fault — they were friendly and helpful — but it still made for a less-than-ideal visit.

I ended up trying the new Peri-Peri Chicken sub. Not really my thing, but I can see how others might enjoy it. Prices were as expected, and there weren’t any issues at checkout. Just wish the location had been better stocked.“

“One of the busiest outlets inside Place Minto Place building. They have breakfast and lunch options with a variety of menu items. They have a group of amazing crew, always ready to help, and fast during lunch (Lunch is busy). It was clean at the front and we could dine in the common dining area. Overall a nice experience!! Thank you.“

“Wouldn’t normally write a review for a sandwich , but after usual ‘meh’ sandwiches at other locations today’s experience warranted a positive review of our experience. We visited at lunch today July 10th. The line moved efficiently but not rushed and hurried. I appreciated the efficiency but also the extra few seconds of attention to sandwiches. It made a difference. When we sat down to enjoy our sandwiches, I was taken aback at how perfect it was. Ot was fluffy, toasted, the vegetables had a chilled crunch combined with the toasted melted shredded cheese and meat. I told my daughter it was the most enjoyable subway sandwich I’ve ever had. So many subways have reviews in the 3’s, and we’ve skipped subway based on the locations reviews. This one delivered. Keep up the great work and continue serving the sandwiches with care it shows!“

“A small sandwich shop that I visited in Canada Day. The sandwiches are cheapish and fast. They have ice cream and drinks as well.

There's nothing too special about this place, but if you are hungry and see this place, grab a bite and you will enjoy it.“

“Service was very fast and friendly. Sandwich is absolutely massive, definitely a full meal. The bread was the star for me as it's probably the most important part of a sandwich in my opinion. Light and airy with just enough chew and a touch of crisp. Really nice!

Ingredients are fresh and the porchetta was well-made and seasoned just right. I found something a touch salty (maybe the eggplant) but overall it was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“One of the best Subway visits I’ve had! The staff went above and beyond to make sure my meal was perfect. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, the bread soft and warm, and the overall quality was excellent. The place was spotless and very well-maintained, which shows how much the team cares about their customers. Fast service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere — I’ll definitely be coming back to this location again👍“

“I had a wonderful experience at this subway. There is an employee, she was so good with the customer service. I think her name was Pinal, and she was just amazing. It was her closing time and I visited when she closed her counter and still she patiently waited for me to order and made my order with a big smile. I love this subway, I'm coming back.“

“Chintan was an absolute exceptional server. His patience and understanding made my sub, the absolute best and most tasty sub I have ever had. Starting with the meat right to the last ingredient, everything was layered with care to ensure a perfect bite every time. I could not recommend a better subway. Thank you sir!“

“I've been a regular at this Subway for a while, and I have to say — the recent changes under the new management have made a huge difference! 🙌

The service is now super friendly, the staff is well-trained and professional, and everything feels cleaner and more organized. Most importantly, the food is fresh, well-prepared, and served with a smile.“

“I had an amazing experience at this Subway location! The customer service was outstanding and the communication with the guy working there was excellent. The place was neat and clean, and my order was prepared exactly how I wanted it, no mistakes at all. The sandwich was properly grilled, toasted, and tasted so good. What really stood out was how welcoming the staff member was, greeting us with a smile. At other locations, I often feel rushed and barely get a word from the staff, but here it was completely different. Definitely one of the best Subway experiences I’ve had!“

“Been going here for a few years and it’s safe to say the staff is great! Always greeting me and my friends with a smile and plenty of fun banter!

This particular time, I walked in and told them I was unsure of what to get. So the owner and the employees said they’d surprise me, and surprise me they did!

I was given a beef brisket and cheese sub with the works and even panini pressed for extra measure!

It tasted delicious and I’d highly recommend this subway to others!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely love coming to the Subway at 770 Brookfield Rd! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly smiles and great energy from the staff. They always take the time to make your sub exactly how you like it — fresh veggies, perfectly baked bread, and generous portions of everything. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure every customer leaves happy.

The restaurant is always super clean and organized, even during busy hours. The service is quick but never rushed — they get your order right every single time. I really appreciate how polite and helpful the team is, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout.

It’s become my go-to Subway because the food quality and service are consistently excellent. It’s hard to find a place where everything just feels right — great people, great food, and a really positive vibe. If you’re in the area and craving a fresh, tasty sub, this is 100% the place to go! 🥪💚“

Service is fast and efficient even when there are lines. I will always come to this subway as the atmosphere is uplifting. Thanks for the best customer service ever.“

“I had an excellent experience at 164 Main Street Subway location! The staff were incredibly friendly, making me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in. They took the time to prepare my sandwich exactly how I wanted it, with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The store was clean and well-maintained, and the service was quick and efficient. I was impressed with both the food and the outstanding customer service. Highly recommend this Subway for a great meal and excellent service!“

“One of the few good Subways left in the city. Good location, quick service, an owner who actually cares about quality and no skimping on meat and vegetables.

Vegetarian options: Veggie subs, fresh mozzarella series subs.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free bread, Employees will change gloves upon request for Kosher / Halal / Allergies etc.

Wheelchair accessibility: Building has elevators and there is a ramp close by to Subway and multiple accessible washrooms as well.“

“I showed up to this Subway and spent 20 minutes crafting the perfect sandwich for an online order (to snag that goated 2 for 1 coupon deal) and to say they constructed a sub suitable to a queens standards would be an understatement. The employee who was working was also very kind and conversational! Very epic experience?p.s. the Italian B.M.T. is in fact the biggest meatiest and tastiest sub“

“I had a great experience at subway. I usually don’t like food on the first try, but this Subway location completely changed that for me. I only eat Subway from here because everything is always fresh, clean, and made just the way I like it. The staff are friendly and the place is spotless. Highly recommend this location—it’s the best!“

“I’ve been going to Subway for a while, and I’m always happy with my experience. The food is fresh, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I love that I can customize everything. I usually get extra pickles and onions, and they always listen. The staff work hard to keep the line moving fast. It’s a good spot for a quick lunch or dinner when you don’t have much time to cook.“

“Amazing customer service. My husband is celiac and have to say this is the most satisfied we have been with precautions at any fast food restaurant in the last 3 years. Obviousally, cannot guarantee with 100% certainty no gluten, but they went over the top to ensure there was the least possible chance of cross contamination. Excellent food! Excellent service!“

“Had a great experience at Subway today around 6 PM! The service was excellent — very friendly and efficient the guy staff there, i told him i will give him good reviews. Our food was fresh and delicious, exactly how we wanted it. Definitely one of the better Subway visits we've had. Keep up the great work!“

“We went there on Saturday afternoon, it was quite busy.But the person was very calm & patient to make our footlong.They have lot of sitting space as well.Location is quite good too, next to T&T supermarket and hunt club.The only issue I can point is that there was only 1 person working & handling the entire store, so we had to wait quite a bit for our turn.But otherwise I will highly recommend this place.“

“I ordered a footlong BMT and it was the best i ever had. Thank you to the morning guy who made my sub.“

“Terrific food and exceptional service sums up my experience! The area is very clean and the environment is friendly and welcoming. My sub was prepared exactly how I asked and tasted better than I could imagine.

Kid-friendliness: Booster seats available for kids

“A few weeks ago I placed a catering order for 11 lunch boxes for a corporate event. This was the only location that accepted it and gave me the confidence that they would take care of everything and they did. The service was incredible and fast. Highly recommended.“

“I’ve been to this Subway multiple times and it never disappoints. The ingredients are always fresh, the bread comes out soft and warm, and the staff take the time to make the sandwich exactly how you want it. Service is quick, friendly, and consistent, even during busy hours. I really appreciate how clean the space is, and how they keep everything well-stocked. For a fast, reliable meal that still feels customized, this is my go-to spot. Highly recommend! W management team fr.“
