The 10 best subway sandwiches, ranked
If you’ve taken the time to read less anxiety-provoking news during this election cycle, you may have read that an Irish court has ruled Metro bread has too much sugar to be “bread”. It is legally a “discretionary indulgence”. Which means their sandwiches are delicious. Maybe not breakfast-sandwich-on-a-donut delicious. Or even bacon-sandwich-with-fried-chicken-like-bread delicious. But when it comes to cheap, fast food, Subway doesn’t make you hate yourself. We’re looking at you, Taco Bell, why do you taste so good but feel so bad?
That said, it is possible to enter a subway and exit with a lower than normal sandwich. If so, you just have to blame yourself. We are here to help you. Here are the ten best Subway sandwiches, ranked.
The turkey breast sandwich may be an unorthodox choice for number one, but hear us out. We know it’s not as flashy, hot, or melt-in-the-mouth as some of Subway’s other offerings, but it’s the perfect balance of what you’d expect from a Subway sandwich. It’s healthy (rather), easy to eat on the go, and reliable no matter where you order it. Turkey is a classic option for lunch. With fries and a drink, the Turkey Club is ‘love who you are with’.

2. Fondant Ranch Chicken & Bacon
Now we’re into the forget-healthy-just-delicious options. It’s still better than a Double Down, at least. Chicken & Bacon Ranch Melt is Subway’s best hot sandwich option. You can eat it on the go, and it combines all the best things about food – gooey cheese, crispy bacon, and roast chicken.
If you’re looking for the best deli sandwich at Subway, make a spicy Italian meal with onion, pickles, and cucumbers. On the other hand, you sacrifice health for taste when ordering this sandwich. It makes the “occasionally” list along with the Chicken & Bacon Ranch Melt. We recommend it when you need a midweek lift.

Among Subway’s hot chicken sandwiches, Sweet Onion Teriyaki tops the top three, but they all have equal success. Barbecue chicken and Buffalo chicken are the same basic formula with different sauces, and yes, they do. But this sweet onion teriyaki! It’s sweet, it’s tangy, and it’s reasonably healthy. If you’re looking for a hot sandwich, with a flavor that won’t make you hate yourself, order one the next time you’re late for lunch.
When you want simple, comforting food, a classic sandwich to order from Subway is the Meatball Marinara. First, it is more affordable than other comfortable fast food options. It’s tasty, fills you up, and it’s an approximation close enough to homemade goodness that you can call it self-care without feeling too silly. But this is not a quick lunch option. It’s a sandwich opened with a knife and a fork.
6. Steak and cheese
They go out of their way not to call it a Philly Cheesesteak. It’s basically one, but not as good. But it’s a little healthier! So all in all a solid choice for a favorite subway sandwich. They allow you to choose your cheese when you order it which is High Stakes if you are not a Philly lover. Some insist that whiz is the only decent cheese option (not a choice at Subway), but choose American or Provolone, and you will do Brotherly Love Town justice.
Veggie Delight is not one of Subway’s top ten unless you don’t eat meat. Its rank goes up even more if you’re a vegan (because there’s only one sandwich on your list) (this one). Besides the Impossible Burger, there just isn’t a lot of fast food for vegans. Even some of Subway’s sauces are vegan, like Sweet Onion and Buffalo. So season this sandwich.

Some swear by nostalgia for Subway’s tuna sandwich. It’s generally considered rude to bring fish for lunch into an office, but in this new world of working from home, you can satisfy any tuna sandwich craving. Subway doesn’t shy away from making tuna either, so if you can swallow 12 inches of tuna salad (without judgment), this is one of the more filling options on the menu.
Best romantic songs for the winter season
In a romantic mood? Does the metro allow you to go? Try one of these romantic songs to accompany your fresh meal.
It’s a ham sandwich. If you are looking for the best Subway sandwich, there are many vegetables and sauces that can be added to your meal to accompany the ham. When you fancy a ham sandwich, it’s great. This is the perfect model to let your weird and wild food combinations go crazy. Don’t order it if you’re not looking to spend some quality time at the counter.
Sometimes you just want the basics, and the Cold Cut Combo does just that. It’s all about bologna, ham, and turkey-based salami, which is a bit like combining all three cold Subway sandwiches into one. Again, it’s a blank canvas to sample Subway’s assortment of sauces and spices, and dense enough that even the six-inch will satisfy you.
