Subway — Restaurant in California

Super-helpful and responsive manager!

I knew I would be traveling I-5 with a busload of 55 teens and chaperones, and would need to stop for lunch somewhere south of Buttonwillow. I discovered that Subway will do box lunches (yay!) and that you can pre-order them (double yay!) I checked out several Subways in the region by phone and on Google maps, and this one seemed the most prepared to handle our large order.

I contacted the manager by phone and email and he was fantastically responsive every time. I was able to email him our order, and he even numbered the boxes for us according to our list, to make them easier to distribute. He also kept them in the fridge until we arrived (we got a late start).

[A tip for other large groups (one I will remember for next time): find a park nearby ahead of time, pick up the box lunches and head over to the park to eat. People can stretch their legs and you don't have to tell them that no they can't leave the group to go over to the 7-11!]

There is a single bathroom, and is was quite clean.

Thank you,...

Foot was decent… The Lady that came back from here lunch break was really rude an in a rush slopping the ingredients like she had somehwhere else she would rather be than at work… When i asked her nicely to slow down an not rush she snapped back, telling me how she is going to make the sandwich like she was going to eat it an pay for it as if im not allowed to pick my vegetables an sauce for my own meal… I find it really unprofessional to behave such an way an the customers in line behind me felt shifty about the situation as well… I most definitely will not be eating subway for awhile after this happened…Especially not at this location ever again… She went back and hid in the office area like nothing happen… I feel bad for the young gentlemen that is working with her since he was super chill, polite and was more...

Consistent quality that is inline with other subway restaurants. What does that mean? Well, personally, I feel that their sandwiches are mostly bread and that they are reluctant to provide filling ample enough to make a decent lunch. They usually have unpersonable or unpleasant staff, who are so focused on throwing sandwiches together at record-breaking speeds that they never look up unless you miss a question (toasted? cheese?) and warrant "the glare" for delaying them.

Those gripes about the Subway chain as a whole aside, this particular location is always clean, the manager is a nice guy, and their cookies truly...
