Overview

Subway at 156 Fenwick Road in Giffnock – yes, THAT Subway – is where you go when you've made the tragic mistake of leaving the house hungry and now you're trapped in the perilous sandwich purgatory. It's the reliable friend who's always there, even if they're not the most exciting friend at the party. With a 3.4-star rating, they're doing their best to keep you fed without breaking the bank. Here's the deal with this Subway: it's exactly what you think it is. Fresh bread (okay, fresh-ish, but we're not here to debate the metaphysics of subway bread), build-your-own sandwiches that somehow take longer to order than eating them (seriously, why is there always a line?), and those famous footlongs that are exactly twelve inches of sandwich happiness. They've got all the classics – Italian BMT for the brave souls, turkey for the sensible folk, and plenty of veggies for those rare adults who remember to eat their greens. The beauty of Subway? It's democratic food. Whether you're a student living on a budget, a parent grabbing lunch between school runs, or just someone who realised at 2pm that breakfast was, in fact, several hours ago – Subway doesn't care. You walk in, you point at bread, you add protein, you load on the veggies (or don't, we're not judging), and boom – instant meal. They're open every day, they're affordable, and let's be honest, sometimes a good Subway sandwich hits different in all the right ways. In a world where lunch can feel complicated, Subway Giffnock keeps it beautifully, wonderfully simple. Just like your choices – white or wheat bread, toasted or not, every single time as if you haven't done this 347 times before.

What People Are Saying

This Subway location is a chain sandwich shop that has received mixed reviews, with praise for food quality, service speed, and cleanliness when standards are met, but significant concerns raised about hygiene, food quality control, and service consistency.

The food at this Subway location receives positive feedback when quality standards are met, with dishes described as definitely one of the best subway runs in a while, featuring deliciousness and freshness of everything ordered. The food quality is such that reviewers note it's a satisfying experience and they're keen to come back for more when standards are met.

However, there have been serious hygiene and quality control issues reported. One reviewer found a long black hair in their food, which they pulled out of their mouth, described as absolutely disgusting. When they called and complained, they were told the girl making their food was not wearing a hair mask, suggesting hygiene protocol failures. Another reviewer noted that the corn in their sandwich seemed spoiled and had a bad smell, which completely ruined the taste of the meal, and was unexpected and quite off-putting, especially since they had always trusted the freshness of ingredients. There have also been concerns about ingredient quality, with one reviewer noting the salad is from Lidl and not the high quality which Subway have, and the salad was described as disgusting, as were the subways. Food preparation concerns have been raised, with one reviewer noting worst taste and nothing put properly (sauces, salad, etc), suggesting inconsistent preparation standards.

Service at this Subway location has been inconsistent. When service is good, it's described as quickly served even when it's really busy, contributing to satisfying experiences. However, there have been service issues reported, with staff described as arrogant, and one reviewer noting they have been there 3 times and they always said they are closed even 15 past 9, suggesting inconsistent operating hours or service availability.

The restaurant's cleanliness receives mixed feedback, with one reviewer noting immaculate cleanliness of the shop even during bustling hours, which is really a testament to the staff's commitment to hygiene. However, the hygiene issues reported (hair in food, spoiled ingredients) suggest that cleanliness and hygiene standards may not always be consistently maintained.

The restaurant offers convenient parking space, which reviewers appreciate.

For visitors to Glasgow, this Subway location offers chain sandwich options that can be definitely one of the best subway runs when quality standards are met. The location's ability to deliver delicious, fresh food, quick service, and immaculate cleanliness has earned it positive recommendations from some reviewers. However, there have been significant concerns raised about hygiene (including hair in food), food quality control (spoiled ingredients), and service consistency. The combination of generally good food when quality is consistent, but significant hygiene and quality control concerns, makes it a mixed experience, and the location would benefit from addressing hygiene protocols, ensuring food quality control, and maintaining consistent service standards to ensure all guests have positive experiences.

This time, the corn in my sandwich seemed spoiled and had a bad smell, which completely ruined the taste of the meal. It was unexpected and quite off-putting, especially since I have always trusted the freshness of your ingredients.

Me and my boyfriend ordered a sub from here. My boyfriend pulled a long black hair out his mouth which was submerged into his food. Absolutely disgusting! We called and complained and were told the girl making our food was not wearing a hair mask. 🤢

Tbh the deliciousness and freshness of everything I ordered and how quickly I was served even when it's really busy is such a satisfying experience that I'm keen to come back for more, also the immaculate cleanliness of the shop even during the bustling hours is really a testament to the staff's commitment to hygiene.
