Subway Brings Back Budget Eats With New Under $5 Menu

It was the 1990s: McDonald’s and Burger King battled for the fast food throne, Pizza Hut was on a legendary run with hits like the BigFoot and Stuffed Crust pizzas, and Subway footlongs cost just five dollars. What a time to be alive.

Things have changed a lot since then. Subway’s iconic 5-dollar-footlong deal was phased out, and ever since, fans noted that the chain just hasn’t been the same since. To be fair, the footlong cookies were a great addition, but we’d take an affordably-priced footlong over those any day. 

Thankfully, we might be back. Subway just announced its first-ever value menu, featuring its best deals since the $5 footlong era. It includes 15 items—both new and fan favorites—all priced under $5 and now available nationwide. Here’s the deets:

Deli Faves

A new collection of deli-inspired six-inch fully-customizable subs:

  • NEW Spicy Pepperoni: Aged pepperoni, Pepper Jack, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, red onions, jalapeños, creamy Sriracha
  • NEW Ham & Salami: Black Forest ham, Genoa salami, Italian-style Provolone, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, honey mustard
  • B.L.T.: Bacon, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, mayo
  • Cold Cut Combo: Black Forest ham, Genoa salami, Bologna (all turkey-based), Italian-style Provolone, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, red onions, mayo
     

Protein Pockets

A new grab-and-go option with more than 20g of protein that launched earlier this year, blending real protein, hand-chopped veggies and fan-favorite sauces into a soft tortilla wrap:

  • Baja Chicken: Grilled chicken, Monterey cheddar, smoky Baja Chipotle, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, jalapeños
  • Peppercorn Ranch Chicken: Grilled chicken, Monterey cheddar, zesty Peppercorn Ranch, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, pickles
  • Italian Trio: Black Forest ham, aged Pepperoni, Genoa salami, Monterey cheddar, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, garlic aioli
  • Turkey Ham: Oven-roasted turkey, Black Forest ham, Monterey cheddar, lettuce, Roma tomatoes, honey mustard

If that didn’t whet your appetite, Subway will also have a Sub of the Day lineup that features some of its most popular sandwiches. If you purchase a six-inch sub of the day, it will only cost you $4.99.

Sub of the Day

A $4.99* featured six-inch sub every day of the week. Add chips and a drink for just $2 more*** to keep you fueled throughout the day:

  • Meatball Monday: Meatball Marinara
  • Tuna Tuesday: Classic Tuna
  • Sweet Onion Teriyaki Wednesday: Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki
  • Turkey Thursday: Oven-Roasted Turkey
  • Forest Ham Friday: Black Forest Ham
  • BMT Saturday: Italian B.M.T.®
  • Spicy Italian Sunday: Spicy Italian 

Find Subway’s Fresh Value Menu on the Subway App or official website, or in the yellow section of the menu at locations nationwide. For $3 more, you can upgrade any Sub of the Day to a footlong.
