The sub wars of Queens Quay



These are hard times in the economy and what other way to combat it other than with cheap food? Well, maybe we're not in dire straights yet, as many a young professional lives on Queens Quay. We don't have a whole lot of choice (probably thankfully) when it comes to fast food but we have plenty of choices for those who want sub (submarine) sandwiches. Within a 350 metre stretch, you will find a Quiznos Subs, a Subway and a Mr. Sub.

Subway is offering $5 for one of five subs (cold cuts, meatball, veggie, ham and pizza) or for a 'fresh value meal'. Quiznos is charging $5 for 'everyday value subs' while Mr. Sub down the road is staying out of the price war, charging $5.89 for an assorted, salami, ham, pizza and meatball.

Clearly two of these players are trying to fight for your $5. We at Queens Quay Life have actually had subs at all three, but in the spirit of our 'Eat Local' theme, we're going to try a $5 (and $5.89) at each of the sub places. It may take a few weeks so look for our reviews of the three establishments.

Subway, 228 Queens Quay West (416-345-9494)

Quiznos Subs, 208 Queens Quay West (416-977-3121)

Mr. Sub, 258 Queens Quay West (416-777-9559)
