Very welcoming and helpful. we've had some issues with the subway app, but otherwise the staff and food have been really strong. will continue to visit Thank you June Subway Challenge“

“This is my favourite place to get a sandwich in Ottawa. I’ve been to La bodega. Roberto‘s Corner Italian deli and a lot of other places and nothing comes close to Sherwood deli’s egg bread turkey sandwich. It’s genuinely tastes like heaven and I don’t know what sauce they put on it, but it is delicious. I could eat there every day for the rest of my life and be a happy man.“

“I go to the subway multiple times in the evening and the place in the service are always immaculate. Drew is a wonderful employee. He always takes his time with each customers that come through and at the same time, he is always welcoming and has great energy“

“i loved all of it so much. the guy working there was so sweet & informative! the place is so cute & they had a professional graffiti mural artist do a wall for them which is super cool. sandwiches were priced well for the size of them and quality.

THEY SLICE ALL ITEMS FRESH TO ORDER BTW !!!

i got the Trartufo Trance, subbed out pecorino for Fiore di Latte. it was so good. bread was fresh, airy and had the perfect crunch. delicious sweet & savory sandwich. the size of my head lol. the sandwhiches are all humongous!! My partner got the Prosciutto Piazza sandwich. he said it was all delicious but not enough seasoning. i on the other hand disagree, the main ‘flavor’ is just fresh, doesn’t need anything fancy or new or over the top. i think they’re perfect! ❤️

they also have delicious olives & cannolis!!!

will come back again for sure.“

“Honestly, the sandwich I had was quite good, but Aysha's service is what made the visit fantastic. She was professional, quick, and genuinely friendly from start to finish. Aysha turned a simple lunch stop into a great customer experience. Highly recommend“

“Came out to subway for an afternoon snack and had a super great experience. I ordered a Italian BMT made my MIT who is one of the sandwich artists. The sandwich was great and the 7.99$ meal of the day is a steal of a price for a hearty sandwich!!“

“Chadi helped us. I had a really good experience at Subway. The place was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and polite. The sandwiches were fresh, tasty, and prepared exactly the way I wanted. Overall, great service and good quality food. I would definitely recommend this Subway to others.“

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

“like how you can choose your own bread, veggies, and sauces. The sandwiches taste good and you can make them exactly how you want. Sometimes the service is a bit slow, but overall it’s a nice place for a fast meal. I would recommend it if you like simple and customizable food.“

“Very good food sometimes go by there. When I'm in Ottawa, as there are not very many Mr subs left. I like the bread definitely better than Subway. Not quite as good as firehouse, but I'm definitely a good option. This location seemed to be clean fresh. Good, fast service and decent price. All right, we'll definitely check it out again.Then, you should too I doubt you'll be disappointed. There is a variety of menu items, including a cookie with marshmallow. In between it which looks decent, I may have to try that. And also, they have a steak in cheese queso sub, which also looks good. So check them out, tell them I sent you.“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at this Subway location, thanks to. KRISHNA She was very kind, professional, and attentive. She greeted me warmly, prepared my order exactly as requested, and made the whole process pleasant. Excellent customer service, I truly appreciate her effort!“

“Subway is a good fast food option because you can choose everything in your sandwich, like the bread, meat, veggies, and sauce. Many people like it because it feels healthier than other fast food and it’s quick when you’re in a rush. It can also be affordable, especially when there are deals. Overall, Subway is popular because it’s easy, customizable, and filling.“

“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.“

“Frequent visitor of this location and I'm always impressed with the staff. The manager clearly leads by example. They are so efficient and quick at getting customers their orders. The food is always fantastic, too.

At one point a few months ago, my girlfriend forgot her phone in Subway at closing time and the staff carefully put it away for us to pick up in the morning.

Everyone here deserves a raise. One of the best run Subway locations I've ever been to, and that's saying something considering the location and the lunch rush.“

“I had such a great experience at this Subway location today! Ami made my sandwich, and she was absolutely amazing. Not only did she prepare everything perfectly, but she was also so kind, patient, and welcoming throughout the entire process. You can really tell she takes pride in what she does.

My tuna wrap was fresh, neatly made, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. The attention to detail and positive attitude made the whole visit feel special.

Thank you, Ami, for the excellent service — you truly made my day better! I’ll definitely be coming back 😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Subway is a solid go-to for a quick and customizable meal. With a wide variety of fresh vegetables, breads, and proteins, it’s easy to build a sub that suits your taste and diet. The food is generally consistent, and the ability to watch your sandwich being made is a plus.

Subway is Best really appreciated“

“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!“

“I had a very unpleasant experience at this Subway location because of two customers who were extremely rude to the employee working alone.
They kept changing their order, confused the employee, and then blamed her for making a wrong order. One of them complained that the employee was coughing, even though it was clearly because the previous order had extra salt and black pepper, and the strong pepper smell caused it.
At billing, they first said they would pay together, but after the order was already entered, they suddenly asked to pay separately. There was a long line, and the employee politely requested them to decide quickly since she was working alone. Instead, they started speaking badly, abusing her, and even threatening her by saying they would leave a bad review.
Despite all this, the employee stayed calm, polite, and professional. It honestly felt like those customers were only there to create trouble.“

“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 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! 🥪💚“

“Just order food online from uber. It was the best sandwich i ever had. Perfect amount of veggies, sauce and perfect grilled. It was crunchy from outside and soft from inside. I just wanna whoever made that is a great Artist. I would recommend everyone to try sandwiche from this location, you all gonna love it.“

“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!“

“I just went in 1115am December 31st
Both staff were incredible
Ingredients fresh
Order done perfectly
Atmosphere clean and inviting

This location is 10x better than bank and hunt club which had purple lettuce, messy sandwich and just all together Terrible

St laurent mall location is a perfect 10/10, I wish all subways were this good“

“Overall: 8/10

A solid, simple, tuna sub — but not particularly exciting unless you customize boldly.

🐟 Taste
• Mild tuna mixed with mayo — creamy and lightly salty.
• Not “fishy,” which works for many but might feel bland to others.

Bread & Texture
• Soft bread
• Add veggies (lettuce, onions, cucumbers) for crunch.

Parking
• Parking is a nightmare — very tight and limited.

Good to know if you’re grabbing a quick stop!“

“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!“

“Tight spot for a fat sandwich. I ate tuna fish. They scrambled the tuna fish with mayo. Probably Mediterranean Tuna. Hellmans mayo , the best mayonnaise. Added vegetables. Nice vegetables like cucumbers. Staff spoke to me in a friendly manner. Atmosphere is weird. Too many lights, too bright. But I didn't stay. I actually ate my fat tuna bun at home with a small glass of cow milk. The 2%.“

“mazing experience at Subway! The manager and staff here truly go above and beyond. The manager runs the place so well – everything is organized, clean, and welcoming. The staff are always polite, attentive, and serve with a smile, which makes the visit so enjoyable. The food is always fresh and prepared perfectly. Huge appreciation to the whole team for their great attitude and outstanding service.“

“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

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll under tables and good countertop height“

“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“

“The service at this location is great and efficient and Riya is very customer oriented a locationnd is doing a great job. kudos to the staff at this“

“What a great experience! The team was amazing.
The food was amazing and the staff went absolutely above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of.
The staff is friendly and efficient, making our dining experience enjoyable.
The place is super clean and welcoming, Always delicious. Always great service. Always worth the stop.“

“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’m not in Barrhaven often anymore, but when I saw Quiznos, I had to pull in. I like many others in Ottawa are so sad that there are only 2 remaining locations. I believe her name was Lynn served me, she was super friendly and helpful. What a difference it makes being able to go into a restaurant/ takeaway place these days and actually have a nice, friendly conversation with the employee(s). I had the classic club to go which was excellent, better than Subway. Restaurant was very clean, and daily specials 👍 I will definitely be back soon, worth the 25 minute drive 😆“

“My favorite and go to SUBWAY in my area!I worked at this mall a few years ago and the previous management was really sloppy, after visiting recently the new management and team is incredible! Thanks for the fresh food and cookies, the kids love it! Bring back the BBQ rib please“

“Incredibly hard working , quick and friendly staff and of course excellent food. I highly recommend this place to any one in want of a good atmosphere with some very yummy food.“

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