Subway vs Robin's Nest

[badboybilly]

Trying to decide what to have for lunch,SUBWAY VS ROBIN'S NEST.

 

Subway Soi Bukhao...........half sub 169 baht or foot long 239 baht with free drink.

 

I thought same price as Farangland and who can blame them,ingredients are expensive.

 

Subway was busy inside but I decided to head to Robin's Nest.

179 baht bangers and mash.....maybe too much gravy?

[badboybilly]

But i would say very good,tasty and cooked good.

large coffee 65 baht

[manarak]

Tried Subway a couple of times, but each time there weren't enough ingredients, but too much bread. Taste was so-so.

Then I'd rather eat the result of Higgins' cooking (Magnum fans will understand)

[jumpybongo]

sub of the day  best value .

 

never had sausage soup before !!

 

coffee looks great though, kick back and people watch  for the win.

enjoy.

You have some strange threads there mate.

Hope you are doing well over there.

Leave Subway for home...try different things.

 

I have enjoyed Robinsnest's food on a couple of occasions.

[redfred]

I have always enjoyed dining at Robins Rest

I dont like to support the "westernisation" of Patts so avoid places like Subway and McDs. Robins Nest was the best choice IMHO, but yeah you could have done with a bread roll to soak up some of that gravy!

 

13 days to go for my chance to try Robins Nest... (stoopid countdown clock broken just when I need it!!!)

[par47]

BTW... Keep up the "strange threads"... I enjoy them!

"each time there weren't enough ingredients"

 

Every Subway that I have been to had plenty of "ingredients" and I, the customer, told them what to put on.  Every time I've asked them to put more onions or peppers on, the preparer did it without complaint.  Never had any problems with that.

 

Now, if asking for extra meat or cheese, perhaps problems.   I have seen customers stand there and try to get double the meat and cheese to the point where they are trying to get two sandwiches into one!  I can see staff having problems with that.

exactly! so I now avoid - especially as even with enough stuff inside the taste was still so-so. my own sandwiches taste much better.

Subway at Big C Extra do a sub of the day for I think B69.

[badboybilly]

Well......Im glad you like my "strange" threads.

[Nom-in-Thailand]

Ate at Robinsnest nearly daily when I was last in Patts... the bangers n mash looks a bit different from when I had it.. Also enjoyed their fish n chips.. proper chips and mushy peas!!!

 

[badboybilly]

Yes  i believe it changed hands last year 2012........and they've built the "dividing wall" between inside and terrace area.

[linnsondek]

Luv dining at Robins Nest (Subway just dont taste the same in Thailand - nor does KFC   )

 

Top bloke that owns Robins nest - very friendly dude and serves Fabulous Fresh Hot Food - Go there alot 

 

Plus there is the added bonus of One very very very tasty waitress (Musty have been an ex Gogo girl - Powerful  )

 

 

 

Hi Lee - hope U dont mind me using the photo !!

[Epimetheus]

The previous owner was a character, I think he's in Viet Nam now. Subway is a good option to end a drink filled night.

 

But isn't there a Ladyboy burger stand near by........

I was in there a couple of days ago and I like what they have done. They have gutted the inside and joined the two areas that were previously separate. It looks like the inside has aircon.

Where is Robin's Nest? I've seen several Subway's but not the Robin's Nest.

Not at all.

 

Say "double meat" and they know exactly what you mean. I think there's even a sign in the shops promoting double meat. It's the only way to order a Subway sandwich IMHO. Without it, just like posted above, it's too much bread.

[Baloo22]

exactly! so I now avoid - especially as even with enough stuff inside the taste was still so-so. my own sandwiches taste much better.

 

And when you open a restaurant to make and serve your much better tasting sandwiches; You will have at least ten people posting comments like "OMG !   Way too expensive!  I can go just down the street to (fill in restaurant name here!) and get the same sandwich for 80 baht less!"

OK.  Let me clarify my statement.

 

Now, if asking for extra meat or cheese, for free/without extra charge, perhaps problems.   I have seen customers stand there and try to get double the meat and cheese to the point where they are trying to get two sandwiches into one!  For the same price as one sandwich.   I can see staff having problems with that.

Hey Baloo, the only one talking about prices is you.

I'm only talking about ingredients(meat) payload and taste, and I'm not impressed by 100 baht more or less on a meal.

Robins Nest does or did a few months ago a great lasagna on Wednesdays with salad and garlic bread, 189 baht I think. It's almost enough for the whole day. Witherspoons across from subway is a good sports bar with good food as well. Why I would travel all the way to Thailand and eat a subway sandwich I don't know. But I did have 1 and it sucked.
