Subway Menu 2026: Complete List, Prices, Calories, Reviews and Best Orders
The Subway Menu 2026 includes customizable six-inch and Footlong sandwiches, Deli Faves, Protein Pockets, daily value subs, wraps, protein bowls, salads, breakfast sandwiches, kids’ meals, pizza, cookies, chips and drinks. Use the Subway Menu category guides below to compare each part of the menu in more detail.
The most significant addition is Subway’s Fresh Value Menu, launched nationally in April 2026 with 15 entrées advertised below $5 at participating U.S. restaurants. It includes four $3.99 Deli Faves, four $3.99 Protein Pockets and seven rotating $4.99 Sub of the Day sandwiches. Most participating value-menu items provide more than 20 grams of protein.
Subway restaurants are independently owned and operated, so there is no single nationwide price for every sandwich. Prices may be higher in California, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii, while delivery platforms can add higher menu prices, service charges and delivery fees.
Price notice: The prices below combine nationally advertised promotional prices with examples from current official Subway restaurant menus. Always select your local restaurant before ordering.

Subway Deli Faves Menu
Deli Faves are six-inch sandwiches designed around simple deli ingredients. Unlike fixed promotional sandwiches at some chains, Subway describes these as fully customizable.
Subway Deli Faves Prices
| Deli Fave | Main ingredients | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Spicy Pepperoni | Pepperoni, Pepper Jack, vegetables and Creamy Sriracha | $3.99 |
| Ham & Salami | Ham, Genoa salami, Provolone and honey mustard | $3.99 |
| B.L.T. | Bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise | $3.99 |
| Cold Cut Combo | Turkey-based ham, salami and bologna | $3.99 |
| Spicy Pepperoni |
The Spicy Pepperoni combines aged pepperoni, Pepper Jack cheese, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and Creamy Sriracha.
It provides the most heat among the four Deli Faves. Pepper Jack and Sriracha add spice, while the fresh vegetables help balance the richness of the pepperoni.
Ham & Salami
The Ham & Salami contains Black Forest ham, Genoa salami, Provolone, lettuce, tomatoes and honey mustard.
It is less spicy than the Spicy Pepperoni and has a milder, slightly sweet finish from the honey mustard.
B.L.T.
The B.L.T. contains bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise.
It is one of Subway’s simplest sandwiches, but the standard amount of bacon may feel light for customers expecting a heavily filled sandwich.
Cold Cut Combo
The Cold Cut Combo combines turkey-based Black Forest ham, Genoa salami and bologna with cheese, vegetables and mayonnaise.
It remains one of the best choices for customers seeking multiple deli meats at a low advertised price.
Subway Protein Pockets Menu
Protein Pockets are compact tortilla-based entrées introduced in January 2026. Subway advertises each pocket at $3.99 with more than 20 grams of protein.
Subway Protein Pocket Prices
| Protein Pocket | Main protein | Advertised price | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baja Chicken | Grilled chicken | $3.99 | More than 20g |
| Peppercorn Ranch Chicken | Grilled chicken | $3.99 | Up to about 24g |
| Italian Trio | Ham, pepperoni and salami | $3.99 | More than 20g |
| Turkey & Ham | Turkey and Black Forest ham | $3.99 | More than 20g |
| Baja Chicken Protein Pocket |
The Baja Chicken Pocket includes grilled chicken, Monterey cheddar, Baja Chipotle, lettuce, tomatoes and jalapeños.
It has a smoky flavor and moderate heat, making it one of the more distinctive pocket options.
Peppercorn Ranch Chicken Protein Pocket
This pocket contains grilled chicken, Monterey cheddar, Peppercorn Ranch, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles.
The creamy ranch and acidic pickles create a stronger flavor contrast than the simpler Turkey & Ham Pocket.
Italian Trio Protein Pocket
The Italian Trio combines ham, pepperoni, Genoa salami, cheese, vegetables and garlic aioli.
It is the richest pocket because it contains three meats and a creamy garlic sauce.
Turkey & Ham Protein Pocket
The Turkey & Ham contains oven-roasted turkey, Black Forest ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and honey mustard.
It is the mildest and most familiar option for customers who do not want spicy or strongly seasoned sauces.
What Do Customers Think About Protein Pockets?
Public reactions are mixed but generally positive regarding the amount of meat and $3.99 price.
Several Subway customers and employees discussing Protein Pockets on Reddit described them as a good value because they receive approximately a six-inch portion of meat in a smaller tortilla. Some commenters found them filling, while others considered them closer to a snack and noted that they contain fewer vegetables than a regular sandwich.
The most consistent positive feedback concerns protein-to-price value. The most common criticism is that the pocket can feel small, messy or insufficient as a complete meal for someone with a large appetite.
Review note: Reddit feedback is anecdotal and can vary by restaurant, preparation and individual preference.
Subway Sub of the Day 2026
The Sub of the Day offers a different six-inch sandwich for approximately $4.99 every day. A customer can add chips or two cookies and a fountain drink for $2, bringing the meal price to approximately $6.99.
Subway Sub of the Day Schedule
| Day | Featured sandwich | 6-inch price | Meal price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | Meatball Marinara | $4.99 | $6.99 |
| Tuesday | Classic Tuna | $4.99 | $6.99 |
| Wednesday | Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki | $4.99 | $6.99 |
| Thursday | Oven-Roasted Turkey | $4.99 | $6.99 |
| Friday | Black Forest Ham | $4.99 | $6.99 |
| Saturday | Italian B.M.T. | $4.99 | $6.99 |
| Sunday | Spicy Italian | $4.99 | $6.99 |
| Best Sub of the Day for a lighter order |
The Oven-Roasted Turkey and Black Forest Ham are generally easier to keep moderate when ordered with vegetables and a lighter sauce.
Best Sub of the Day for stronger flavor
The Spicy Italian, Italian B.M.T. and Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki provide stronger seasoning and richer flavors.
Best Sub of the Day for a filling meal
Tuna and Meatball Marinara feel heavier because of their creamy or sauce-based fillings.
What Do Customers Think About the Sub of the Day?
The deal receives mixed reactions.
Good Housekeeping’s 2026 value-menu taste test considered the Sub of the Day one of the strongest parts of the value lineup, particularly because a complete meal costs approximately $6.99.
Some Reddit users remain less impressed because the $4.99 price applies to a six-inch sub rather than a Footlong, and the meal requires an additional $2. Other commenters argue that the current price is reasonable when compared with inflation and full-price Footlong sandwiches.
The practical verdict is that the deal is strongest when you already like that day’s featured sandwich. It is less attractive when you must replace ingredients or add premium toppings.
Subway Sandwiches Menu
Subway’s standard sandwich menu includes steak, chicken, Italian meats, deli classics, clubs and vegetarian choices.

Calories reflect the restaurant’s displayed standard recipe. Bread, serving size, cheese, vegetables and sauces can change the total.
- Subway Steak Sandwiches
- Steak Philly
The Steak Philly combines seasoned steak, cheese and vegetables in a cheesesteak-inspired sandwich.
It is one of the better choices for customers wanting a hot, savory sandwich without multiple deli meats.
Chipotle Philly
The Chipotle Philly adds a smoky and slightly spicy profile to the steak-and-cheese base.
Choose it over the standard Steak Philly when you prefer a stronger sauce and more noticeable seasoning.
- Subway Chicken Sandwiches
- Chicken & Bacon Ranch
Chicken & Bacon Ranch combines chicken, bacon, cheese, vegetables and creamy ranch.
It is one of Subway’s richer chicken sandwiches because both bacon and ranch add fat, sodium and calories.
Honey Mustard Chicken
The Honey Mustard Chicken offers a sweet and tangy profile.
It is less smoky than Baja-style chicken and less heavy than Chicken & Bacon Ranch, depending on the cheese and amount of sauce selected.
Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki
Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki combines seasoned chicken with a sweet, savory sauce.
It remains one of Subway’s most recognizable chicken options and appears as Wednesday’s Sub of the Day.
Grilled Chicken
Grilled Chicken is a flexible choice that can be kept relatively simple or turned into a heavier sandwich through cheese, bacon and creamy sauces.
- Subway Italian Sandwiches
- Italian B.M.T.
The Italian B.M.T. combines ham, salami and pepperoni.
It provides more meat variety than the Spicy Italian but generally has a slightly milder flavor.
Spicy Italian
The Spicy Italian emphasizes pepperoni and salami.
It is a strong choice for customers who prioritize bold, salty and spicy flavors.
5 Meat Italian
The 5 Meat Italian contains the broadest selection of Italian-style meats.
It is one of the heaviest sandwiches on the menu and is better suited to a large appetite.
Meatball Pepperoni
Meatball Pepperoni combines meatballs, marinara, pepperoni and cheese.
It is richer and more heavily seasoned than the regular Meatball Marinara.
Meatball Marinara
The Meatball Marinara contains meatballs, marinara sauce and cheese.
It is filling and familiar, but it can become messy during delivery because the sauce softens the bread.
- Subway Deli Classics and Clubs
- Oven-Roasted Turkey
Oven-Roasted Turkey is one of the most versatile Subway choices.
It works well with vegetables, mustard and vinegar for a relatively simple meal.
Black Forest Ham
Black Forest Ham has a mild, slightly smoky flavor.
It is available as a standard sandwich, kids’ option, value-menu item and Friday Sub of the Day.
Tuna
Subway Tuna has a creamy mayonnaise-based filling.
It can be satisfying, but it is not automatically a low-calorie choice. Pickles, banana peppers, onions or vinegar can help balance the richness.
Veggie Delite
The Veggie Delite is Subway’s main meat-free sandwich.
Its calorie count depends heavily on cheese, sauces and avocado. A vegetable-heavy sandwich with mustard or vinegar will be lighter than one with several cheeses and mayonnaise.
All-American Club
The All-American Club combines deli meats, bacon and cheese.
It offers more richness than a basic turkey or ham sandwich.
Subway Club
The Subway Club normally combines turkey, ham and roast beef.
It provides multiple proteins without depending on meatballs, pepperoni or creamy chicken sauces.
Subway Wraps, Protein Bowls and Salads
Format Price Comparison
| Format | Example price range | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Six-inch sandwich | About $4.89–$7.69+ | Regular individual meal |
| Footlong | Usually several dollars more | Large appetite or sharing |
| Wrap | About $7.99–$12.19+ | Portable, substantial meal |
| Salad | About $5.99–$10.39+ | Bread-free vegetable base |
| Protein bowl | About $11.99–$17.99+ | More protein without bread |
Prices vary substantially by protein and restaurant. Current official location menus show wraps generally costing more than basic six-inch sandwiches, while bowls with premium meats can reach the highest price tier.
Subway Wraps Menu
Common wraps include:
- Steak Philly
- Chicken & Bacon Ranch
- Honey Mustard Chicken
- Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki
- Grilled Chicken
- Italian B.M.T.
- Spicy Italian
- Cold Cut Combo
- Turkey
- Ham
- Tuna
- Veggie Delite
- All-American Club
- Subway Club
Wraps are not automatically lower in calories than sandwiches. A current official location lists several wraps between approximately 640 and 1,010 calories, depending on the filling.
Subway Protein Bowls Menu
Protein bowls replace the bread with meat, cheese, vegetables and sauce.
Popular options include chicken, steak, Italian meats, tuna, turkey, ham, roast beef and club combinations.
At one official restaurant, listed bowls range from approximately $11.99 for Spicy Italian to $17.99 for the 5 Meat Italian. Displayed calories range from around 480 for Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki to more than 900 for several Italian combinations.
A bowl may reduce bread-based carbohydrates, but bacon, multiple meats, cheese and creamy dressing can still make it a high-calorie meal.
Subway Salads Menu
Most Subway sandwich proteins can also be ordered as salads.
Popular Subway Salads and Example Prices
| Salad | Example price | Displayed calories |
|---|---|---|
| Cold Cut Combo | $5.99 | 460 Cal |

What Reviewers and Customers Say About Subway
Online reviews are subjective and are not a scientific customer survey. They are still useful for identifying repeated praise and complaints.
Subway Review Summary
| Menu item or issue | Common positive feedback | Common criticism |
|---|---|---|
| Spicy Italian | Bold, balanced and flavorful | High sodium and rich meats |
| Tuna | Filling and generously portioned | Mayo-heavy |
| Peppercorn Ranch Pocket | High protein and good flavor balance | Smaller than a full sub |
| Baja Chicken Pocket | Tender chicken and balanced heat | May feel like a snack |
| Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki | Familiar and consistently popular | Can be sweet and sauce-heavy |
| Oven-Roasted Turkey | Simple and reliable | Less exciting than premium subs |
| B.L.T. | Low $3.99 price | May feel short on bacon |
| Meatball Marinara | Filling and familiar | Some reviewers find it dense or one-note |
| Customization | Many vegetables and sauce choices | Results depend heavily on the employee and location |
| Value | $3.99 and $4.99 offers improve affordability | Full-price Footlongs can still feel expensive |
| Best-reviewed value-menu items |
A 2026 Good Housekeeping taste test ranked the Spicy Italian, Tuna and Peppercorn Ranch Chicken Protein Pocket as its three strongest value-menu choices. Reviewers praised the Spicy Italian’s balance, the Tuna’s generous filling and the Peppercorn Ranch Pocket’s combination of protein, acidity and creamy flavor.
The Baja Chicken Pocket also received positive feedback for tender chicken and balanced seasoning. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, Oven-Roasted Turkey and Italian B.M.T. were considered dependable middle-tier choices.
Least-favored value-menu items
The same taste test found the Meatball Marinara comparatively dense and one-dimensional. The B.L.T. was criticized for having too much bread relative to its bacon filling.
A separate 2026 comparison of chain B.L.T. sandwiches similarly found Subway’s version affordable but lighter on bacon than competing sandwiches.
What customers like most
Public discussions repeatedly highlight Subway’s customization as its main advantage. Customers can choose the bread, vegetables, cheese, sauce, seasoning and level of toasting rather than accepting a fixed sandwich recipe. Time Out also identified flexibility and topping variety as central to Subway’s appeal when reviewing its 2026 sandwich lineup.
Most common complaints
The most frequent negative themes are:
- Full-price Footlongs can feel expensive.
- Promotional participation varies by franchise.
- Protein and vegetable portions can differ by location.
- A six-inch sandwich may not satisfy a large appetite.
- Delivery can soften bread and hot sandwiches.
- Creamy sauces can overwhelm lighter proteins.
Reddit discussions about the $4.99 daily deal show that some customers still compare current prices with the historic $5 Footlong and therefore perceive six-inch offers as less impressive.
Subway Bread, Cheese and Customization Options
The typical ordering process includes:
- Choose a six-inch, Footlong, wrap, salad or bowl.
- Select the protein.
- Choose bread or tortilla where applicable.
- Add cheese.
- Request toasted or cold preparation.
- Add vegetables.
- Select sauces and seasoning.
- Add premium extras.
- Popular Subway Vegetables
- Lettuce
- Spinach
- Roma tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Green peppers
- Red onions
- Pickles
- Black olives
- Banana peppers
- Jalapeños
- Popular Subway Sauces
- Mayonnaise
- Mustard
- Honey mustard
- Sweet Onion Teriyaki
- Baja Chipotle
- Peppercorn Ranch
- Garlic aioli
- Creamy Sriracha
- Oil
- Red wine vinegar
Creamy sauces, mayonnaise, ranch and aioli generally add more calories than mustard, vinegar or a small amount of sweet onion sauce.
Dietary, Allergen and Nutrition Considerations
Subway publishes nutrition, ingredient and allergen information, but the final profile depends on every customization.
Customers managing food allergies should remember that restaurants use shared preparation counters, utensils and equipment. Removing one ingredient does not guarantee that cross-contact will not occur.
Vegetarian customers can begin with the Veggie Delite, salad or selected sides, but cheese, sauces and regional ingredients should be reviewed separately.
Customers monitoring sodium should pay particular attention to:
- Pepperoni
- Salami
- Bacon
- Ham
- Meatballs
- Cheese
- Pickles
- Olives
- Sauces
A sandwich can look vegetable-heavy while still containing substantial sodium from processed meats, cheese and dressing.
Subway Rewards, App Deals and Ordering
Subway’s Sub Club loyalty program states that qualifying members can earn a free Footlong after purchasing three qualifying Footlongs, effectively making every fourth qualifying Footlong free. Participation, exclusions and account requirements apply.
Customers can order through:
- The restaurant counter
- Subway’s website
- The Subway app
- Pickup
- Subway delivery
- Third-party delivery platforms
- Catering
App ordering is useful for checking local prices, participating promotions and unavailable ingredients before reaching the restaurant.
Third-party delivery may carry higher prices than the restaurant or Subway app, and fountain drinks may be unavailable for some delivery orders.
Six-Inch vs Footlong Subway Sandwich
| Feature | Six-inch | Footlong |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Approximately 6 inches | Approximately 12 inches |
| Portion | Light-to-moderate meal | Large meal or two portions |
| Price | Lower | Higher |
| Calories | Lower | Often close to twice the total |
| Portability | Easier | Larger and messier |
| Best for | Lunch or controlled portion | Large appetite or sharing |
A Footlong may offer a lower cost per inch, but it is only better value when the customer needs the additional food.
How to Order a Lower-Calorie Subway Meal
A practical lighter order could include:
- A six-inch sandwich rather than a Footlong
- Turkey, ham, grilled chicken or vegetables
- Plenty of lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers
- Mustard or vinegar instead of mayonnaise and ranch
- One cheese or no cheese
- Water, unsweetened tea or a zero-sugar drink
- No chips, or Baked Lay’s where available
- One cookie rather than multiple desserts
A Veggie Delite Salad has one of the lowest displayed starting totals, but adding cheese, avocado and creamy dressing can substantially increase it.
- Which Subway Order Should You Choose?
- Best inexpensive sandwich
Choose a $3.99 Deli Fave, particularly the Spicy Pepperoni or Cold Cut Combo.
Best daily deal
Choose the $4.99 Sub of the Day or the complete $6.99 Meal of the Day.
Best reviewed sandwich
The Spicy Italian received the strongest rating in Good Housekeeping’s 2026 value-menu test.
Best high-protein snack
Choose the Peppercorn Ranch Chicken Protein Pocket.
Best simple sandwich
Choose Oven-Roasted Turkey with vegetables and mustard.
Best meat-free order
Choose the Veggie Delite sandwich or salad.
Best for a large appetite
Choose a Footlong Steak Philly, Chicken & Bacon Ranch, Italian B.M.T. or Subway Club.
Best bread-free choice
Choose a grilled-chicken salad or protein bowl, but control the cheese and dressing.
Best kids’ option
Choose the Turkey or Black Forest Ham kids’ sandwich with a lower-sugar drink.
Best dessert
Choose one Raspberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Chip or White Chip Macadamia Nut cookie.
Jessica’s Take
Subway’s strongest feature remains customization. Few major fast-food chains allow customers to control the vegetables, sauces, bread, cheese, protein and seasoning to the same extent.
The Fresh Value Menu makes Subway more competitive in 2026. A $3.99 Deli Fave or Protein Pocket is easier to justify than a full-price premium sandwich when you only need a quick lunch or snack.
For flavor, the Spicy Italian is the strongest value-menu choice. It delivers more personality than the milder ham, turkey and Cold Cut Combo options.
For protein and portability, the Peppercorn Ranch Chicken Pocket is the better choice. However, customers with a large appetite may need a side or second item.
For a regular lunch, the six-inch Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, Oven-Roasted Turkey or Subway Club provides a sensible balance between flavor and portion size.
The B.L.T. is less convincing unless the restaurant provides a generous bacon portion. The Meatball Marinara is filling, but its heavy sauce and softer delivery texture make it better for eating immediately inside the restaurant.
For the best value, check the app before ordering. The advertised $3.99 and $4.99 prices are not guaranteed at every franchise, and premium extras can quickly turn a value sandwich into a much more expensive meal.

Final Verdict
The Subway Menu 2026 provides one of the broadest customizable fast-food selections, covering traditional sandwiches, wraps, salads, protein bowls, breakfast, kids’ meals, pizza and desserts.
The biggest improvement is the Fresh Value Menu. It provides four $3.99 Deli Faves, four $3.99 Protein Pockets and seven $4.99 daily sandwiches.
For value, choose a Deli Fave, Protein Pocket or Sub of the Day. For flavor, the Spicy Italian and Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki remain strong choices. For a lighter base, choose turkey, grilled chicken, Veggie Delite or a salad with moderate dressing.
Customer feedback indicates that customization, fresh vegetables and menu variety remain Subway’s main strengths. The common weaknesses are inconsistent portions, franchise participation and the higher cost of full-price Footlongs.
Always select your local restaurant before comparing prices, calories and availability. Subway pricing, bread choices, breakfast service, promotional participation and delivery charges vary considerably by location.
Final Verdict
The Subway Menu 2026 works best when you use the value lineup smartly and customize with purpose. If you want affordability, start with Deli Faves or Protein Pockets. If you want a balanced lunch, turkey, grilled chicken or Veggie Delite are safer choices. If you want a bigger meal, the wraps, bowls and meatier sandwiches deliver more fullness—just remember that premium add-ons can raise both calories and price fast.
