FAQ – Subway Menu, Prices, Calories & Ordering Information

Have questions about the Subway menu, prices, calories, or available options? Our FAQ section covers common questions that people often ask, all in one convenient place. You can learn more about menu items, sandwich sizes, calorie information, pricing, menu availability, deals, drinks, sides, and more. Prices and availability can vary by location, so the information provided here is intended as a helpful reference when checking the menu before ordering.

Subway can be a relatively healthy fast-food choice, but it depends heavily on the sandwich, bread, cheese, sauces, portion size, and toppings. A vegetable-heavy 6-inch sandwich with lean protein and lighter sauces can be much lower in calories and sodium than a large sandwich loaded with processed meats, cheese, and creamy sauces. Subway’s current U.S. nutrition information shows substantial differences between menu items and serving sizes.

There is no single nationwide Footlong price. Current U.S. Subway menus show different prices by restaurant and market, so the exact cost depends on the location and sandwich you choose. For example, current restaurant menus show the same menu items at noticeably different prices.

Yes. Some U.S. Subway restaurants offer a gluten-free bread option, but availability is location-dependent. Subway’s allergen information also notes that the packaged gluten-free bread is treated differently from its regular breads, so customers with celiac disease or serious gluten allergies should check the restaurant’s current allergen information and preparation practices.

There is no universal closing time. Subway restaurants are independently operated, so hours vary by location. Some stores close in the evening while others stay open much later or operate 24 hours. The Subway locator provides the current hours for individual restaurants.

Subway’s U.S. Tuna sandwich uses wild-caught tuna mixed with mayonnaise. The current menu describes it as a tuna salad served with provolone cheese and vegetables, and Subway says its North American tuna is 100% wild-caught tuna.

The price varies by restaurant, market, sandwich, and ordering method. There is no single current U.S.-wide Footlong price. Current Subway menus demonstrate significant location-to-location price differences.

Opening hours vary by restaurant. Some locations open early in the morning, while others open later, particularly restaurants inside other businesses. Check the individual restaurant listing for the most accurate hours.

Some Subway restaurants may accept EBT/SNAP, but acceptance is not nationwide and depends on state rules and the individual restaurant’s participation. You should confirm with the specific location before relying on EBT for payment.

Subway currently advertises a $4.99 Sub of the Day at participating U.S. restaurants. The featured 6-inch sandwich changes by day of the week, so the exact sandwich depends on the day and location.

Yes. Lettuce from a properly operating Subway restaurant is intended to be safe to eat when handled and stored correctly. Food-safety problems can occur at individual restaurants or during broader food-supply incidents, so a current recall or restaurant-specific warning should be checked if there is a particular concern.

Yes. Subway is generally classified as a fast-food or quick-service restaurant because customers order relatively quickly, customize their food, and typically receive it without traditional full-service table dining.

Yes, Chicago has Subway sandwich restaurants. If you meant the Chicago subway/rapid-transit system, that is a separate transportation system operated by the Chicago Transit Authority.

Subway obtains lettuce through its food-supply chain and suppliers rather than from one publicly identified farm for every restaurant. The specific supplier can vary by region and supply conditions.

Breakfast is available at some U.S. Subway locations, but it is not offered universally. Whether breakfast is served and during which hours depends on the individual restaurant. Current Subway restaurant menus include breakfast sections at participating locations.
