Subway — Restaurant in Kelso

It felt uncomfortable because it smelly sooo amazing when I went in the store like fresh food and I commented to the worker about how pleased I was with the smile it smelled so good in here and she didn’t say anything she didn’t laugh. She shouldn’t smile shouldn’t agree she didn’t disagree like she just was not happy to be there at all and I’m not used to that in Kelso Longview. Everybody’s just pretty much happy to be where they’re at, working or shopping… But then she asked me what I wanted to order and I ordered the Subway club, which is the most basic thing you can get there so that’s my fault lol but then I ordered their nacho thing that comes in a long box and she put one of those lunch sized bags of Doritos in the box which only had about 10 or 12 chips in this foot-long box, and I kind of wondered if she’s gonna put another bag in there only because it didn’t even cover the bottom at all we all know how many chips come in a lunch bag of chips, none… but either way then she put like a fingers amount the amount of cheese that you can grab with five fingers, not even your hand, but only your fingers and sprinkled it over the chips and then took a squirt of cheese and just ran along it and she asked me if I wanted steak or chicken on it. I told her chicken she took a half a piece of their chicken and cut it in strips and put it on there. I only got three pieces of chicken and then she toasted it to melt the nonexisting cheese and I asked her if she could put olives on it and she said I’m really sorry but we’re not allowed to switch things up at or remove which she did remove the onions and the spicy stuff but she wouldn’t put anything on it and all she said is they don’t allow us to edit their special items, but that she could put some olives on the side in a little teeny tiny cup with a lid not even a cup. It was a little teeny tiny like condiments container container and then she put three slices of ham three slices of turkey and two slices of pepper jack cheese and two slices of American cheese, which is what I ordered but then never asked me if I wanted mayonnaise or mustard or salt and pepper so then she toasted my sandwich because she asked me if I wanted it toasted so she toasted it and that’s when I remembered myself about the mayonnaise and mustard and salt and pepper oil and vinegar so then she just added everything the mayonnaise and mustard, salt and pepper on top of the meat and she only did one squeeze of mayonnaise, which we all know is not very much right in the center of the sandwich. She didn’t even spread it out or go in to end and I got a foot-long sandwich so I’ve pretty much just got meet with my bread and there were not any other customers in the store so she wasn’t in a rush to do dishes or to clean up or do anything when I walked in. She was just down there waiting for someone to come in so I wasn’t keeping her from doing anything otherwise I could see if she was in a rush that she would rush through my order. I remember when you’d go into Subway and you’d have meat and condiments in your sandwich enough to her. If you took a bite, it would slide out the other side cause there’s so much. I’m not trying to leave a bad review even though that’s what this is. I’m just trying to comment or let anyone know what my experience was that day and I don’t know that it would be like that any other day or if it’s like that all the time that was just my experience that one day and I’m not even speaking for any other location of Subway. I’m only speaking for that one day and my own experience so I don’t wanna be ready to think that Subway is a bad place to go to. That was just my experience that one day now I don’t think that I will go back but...

You can file this with my other Kelso/Longview reviews. And, again, I will shout: this is Kelso/Longview!!! That does matter.

Thing is, I think the solidly 4-star rating fits this place. Been here on several occasions, either while staying in the area or on one of my I-5 jaunts.

I question why this place is open so late. I guess the owner/franchisee thinks it makes sense. Which it does, for me at least, given that I often get into town late. I also always chuckle given the location . . . a dark (again, I arrive at night), deserted shopping mall with a few other food options, some gas stations, and a sketchy (as hell) Red Lion nearby.

But this place does what a Subway is supposed to do. Is it the cleanest? Nope. Are the ingredients always the greatest in terms of freshness? Not all all. Are the staff erudite thinkers with whom you exchange thoughts on philosophy, politics, and the like? Nyet. This is a Subway in Kelso, staffed by seemingly well-intentioned employees who are doing their jobs. As such, I can’t complain. Like I said, solidly 4-star, even if I can see there being some off moments here. Speaking of which, some of those negative reviews are hilarious. A couple of you give off strong “LOOK AT ME” vibes. Yikes. And, Andrew, do your family and friends read your reviews? You are a precious flower, with all that flexing and posing . . . in a Google review about the Subway in Kelso (I mean, come on, it’s not a classy place like Pier 39)! I love how you use the phrase “rock hard” twice. I also enjoyed the threat of legal action (under what matter of cause would be interesting to know). Then you say, “good day to you” . . . and keep writing. Not only that, you act like a keyboard bully re: the minimum wage employee who wronged you, while making sure to include a sketchy “surveillance” photo for some reason. Zing! You sure showed them! But I get it. Your missus got food poisoning. That’s not fun. So why not contact the owner? Or corporate? Ask for a refund maybe, given that you live so close? Nah, that isn’t your style. You unleashed the beast. And, boy oh boy, people cower in the wake of your keyboard clacking. To be fair, I know you could take me in a fight. But, wow, you are certainly showing your ire for all to see. Again, recommended for what it is....

Edit: my wife’s rock hard sandwich with meat on half the sandwich gave her food poisoning. They cooked my churro so long it was rock hard by the time I got home. I live 5 minutes away from the store. You’ll be hearing from our lawyer. Good day to you.

Whiney little prick with the white nikes and the sides of his head shaved working at 7:41pm 03/27/2024 was an absolute douchebag about me ordering a churro after he asked if there was anything else. Told me I needed to ask before ordering a sandwich next time and continued to be super rude about it. My wife almost cried and didn’t order what she wanted because he was being so rude. Won’t be...
