Is subway considered fast food?

Question

Is subway considered fast food?

Answer 1

I consider it fast food although it is a healthier choice than some of the other fast food joints out there.

Answer 2

I don't think so. Haven't you heard that Jared commercial  

Answer 3

i say its fast but it isnt like fast food with high fat in it. its more of a healthier food choice.

Answer 4

YES. It is food that is prepared while you wait for it, and it isn't brought to your table by a waiter/waitress. It is fast food in that technical sense. Due to the nature of fast food and it's unhealthy reputation, people think that Subway is not fast food because it's healthy. It is fast food. It's healthy fast food. Other places should take a note...and I think they're trying....McDonald's has apples shaped like fries, Wendy's offers mandarin orange slices as a side....Taco Bell has a fresco menu....it's catching on slowly.

Answer 5

It's fast food.  It's just healthier than most.

Answer 6

Yes, but not to me! Subways is the healthy fast food. I love subway.

Remember to get the tuna sub, that is the best!

Answer 7

Yes it is considered fast food, albeit a much healthier version of stereotypical fast food.

Answer 8

Idk, technically yes.  But not all Subways have drive thrus and Subway is healthy compared to everything else!

Answer 9

Yes. The reason is because just like all the other fast food joints, all their food is specially designed for that particular restaurant, just like McDonald's hamburgers. The major difference is that their sandwiches are not greased up, which makes them healthier.

Answer 10

I think it is, just a healthier version.

Answer 11

Yes!! If it comes fast and its high in calories its fast food.

Answer 12

I believe so. Some have drive-thru's or pick up windows like Pizza Hut does too.  

Answer 13

no because they're sandwiches and therefore not fried

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

no a fast food joint usually has a drive threw so its fast

Answer 16

I wouldn't take a date there.

Subway, like Quiznos and a few others, occupies an interesting penumbra between a true fast-food joint and a full-service sandwich shop.  You don't have quite the freedom of a real deli, and everything is pre-packaged and standardized, but at the same time it's still made to order.  As a result I consider it to be fairly fast-food-ish, even if it doesn't meet the full definition of fast food.

Answer 17

fast food is every food that is prepared and served very quickly...i don't know know if you wanted to know if it's as unhealthy as mcdonald food than the answer would be no cause all they serve in subway is a healthy bread and healthy fresh vegetable and meat.

Answer 18

no because it's not greasy food like burger king and mcdonalds

Answer 19

Subway is whatever you make it since you have a choice of making healthy food or unhealthy food, but subway's unhealthier food is like way healthy compared to all the other restaurants  

Answer 20

well it kind of depends on what you order. some of the food at subway is fast food and some of the food isnt.

Answer 21

I dont think so. Its healthier and not deep fried food. Its more like food fast.

Answer 22

Yes. It's a fast food chain.

It doesn't have to have a drive-through to be fast food. It just has to be the kind that can be prepared and served in under 10 minutes. People have trouble with the concept of fast food that's good for you, so it's hard for them to believe that Subway is indeed fast food.

Answer 23

I'd consider it relatively good junk food, though it's still bad for the system.

I'd advocate anyone to make their own healthy meals rather than have a sandwich stuffed with such watered down and preserved meats.

Answer 24

yeah its has the most salt in its food than anyone else so I would not have it all the time

Answer 25

yes...because they dont cook it rght in front of you

as in like...fresh from the oven or something

soooo yes it is considered fast food..

Answer 26

Yes, they make it for you very fast.  

Answer 27

Yes.  However, it's one of the best as far as healthy options goes.  Stick to the Jared menu with no dressing and cheese. =]

Answer 28

yes it is but its not super unhealthy like other places which make it seem like its not fast food. you dont have to sit down to get your meal so i would say that it is.

Answer 29

yes but it is healthier than any other fast food restraunt

Answer 30

people here aren't smart because honestly if "jared" ate it every day it wouldn't do much. you have to work out as well to lose weight. it's more so a hoaks in my opinion and cost too much for stuff you could do yourself. honestly couldn't you just make it yourself instead of watching someone else? its fast food just as well.

Answer 31

yes it is fast food just like the rest although for what meat they put on hero it is more healthier but do not expect to enjoy it like a regular hero
