They're alright but If I'm going chain sub shop it's Jersey Mikes every time. It's definitely better than Subway or Jimmy John's though.
Great Outdoors is another great chain sub place but I think they may just be in the metroplex.

Cappriotti's out on the west coast is the best sandwich chain I've had. With my job I know a lot about this business. Firehouse is fine. They use quality stuff.
Charley's is legit also. I'll put it this way, I wont ever eat at a Jersey Mike's again.
Edit to add. D'Angelo's in the New England area is great also.
West = Cappriotti's
East = D'Angelos
Midwest = Charley's

The only one close to me is in the Collin Creek Mall food court in Plano which kinda makes me suspicious but I'll reserve judgement until I sample this supposed hidden treasure.
They have around 700 stores. They are all QSR's in food courts and airports. They use quality stuff.
They are developing a new concept call BiBiBop. It's a rice bowl thing and will be stand alone stores. Just in Ohio now but it is really good. Charley's is an interesting company. It is ran be a Vietnamese family. Ironically he calls himself Charley but I think that irony is lost on him.
I'm telling you guys though. Next time you go to Vegas get to a Capriotti's and have the Bobbie and the Capastrami.
That's one of the bigger ones I don't know anything about.
I don't like the bread so I don't eat there, but it's simply that.
Jimmy John's gets the job done and that's about it. I don't know why they have to dump a pound of mayo on everything (even when u ask light) and I agree on the bread, it's very meh.
I never go out of my way to go into one to eat but they damn sure hook me up in a pinch when the wife isn't home and I'm in charge of dinner for some hungry boys. There's one 2 miles from me and I like to time them. I once clocked them at 9 minutes from order confirmation online to doorbell ring. It's never been more than 15 minutes. Freaky fast indeed.

We're on our front porch in midtown Tulsa a few years back and see a Jimmy Johns car drive by and pull into a house across the street, 2 houses down. I turn to the wife and say, Jimmy Johns delivers? She said, well I guess so.
So I pick up the phone and proceed to order a couple saniches' to be delivered. Give them the address and they say, we don't deliver there. I then tell them I'm looking at a Jimmy Johns car across the street. She asked the address for that house, I gave it, and she said, yeah, we deliver there.
Any chance you could expand your boundary another 30 feet and bring me my saniches'?Sorry, we can't do that.
Haven't given them a dime since.

A lot of them are owned by Josh Fields and Billy Bajema. Josh actually waited on my one day in Stillwater and then sat down and chatted for about ten minutes. They have bought the franchise rights to tons of them as well as Pie Five.
I love the club and the brisket ones. Won't try and others.

I've tried the hook & ladder and the Italian. Both were good. Steamer next time.
Meanwhile a great pizza place closed this week.

Josh fields is part of the ownership group in Oklahoma. After bedlam 2001 I'm A customer for life
Yea, Charley's is the best. Their cheese fries are great, too. I told my wife I wanted to eat Charley's for my birthday. Only kinda sorta joking.
Yeah, it's all funny until you get ready for an Italian with salt & vinegar chips only to have it mentally taken from you at the last minute. Not funny once you cross that anticipated taste bud threshold. It's worse than a fork in the eye.
If it's that bad Have them sprinkle of dash of your pride on top and walk the 30 feet? Heh
This is the best part, in my negotiations I asked if they could just deliver to the house across the street and I'd just be standing in the driveway.
I don't think we can do that sir...
It was a Seinfeld episode conversation.
Ran into the same issue with them. Each franchise has a territory, and they run into a lot of issues if they deliver into another franchises territory. Just figure out the right number to call and you will have your food within 15 mins.
Anyone else ever had Porbelly? Maybe it is only a DFW franchise, but I think it is better than the other ones I have tried (about 5 of the ones listed ITT). They get bonus points for their milkshakes.
I woul rate Jersey Mikes 2nd.

I can appreciate this comment, but having lived in Philly for 2 years, you've obviously never had one from Tony Luke's.
The 2 big name places there are good, but the locals know where to go and they all pointed me towards TLs.
