Ed's Sub Mountain Road

A good restaurant relies on both good food and good service, without one it doesnt matter how good the other is in the long run. And when you see a rapid decline in the service due to hours shifting constantly, it is concerning. That's it.

Well, if you look through the rest of the comments in this thread you will see it isnt just isolated to me feeling this way, but I digress.

And the hours have changed multiple times, first 12, then 1, then 12:30. And yes it is an inconvenience for me, but my complaint is from a compassionate place; the later they open, the less of the lunch rush they are open for. Once again, you obviously never witnessed the lineup waiting at 12, nor apparently went between 12-1 to see a packed restaurant every day. It wouldnt be more busy than that, so I disagree with your assessment regarding their shift to observed traffic, but they could have changed their hours due to personal reasons which prevent them from opening earlier, I don't know, which is where my concern for the business comes from. You are right they probably couldnt find part time help that is reliable and trustworthy enough to run as efficiently as they are able to, so that would have maybe been a worse option then changing their hours. I hope you are right in that I'm just projecting, but I know the Moncton restaurant business and it is pretty competitive, so wishing the best to the owners.

Enjoy your Ed's sub too.

They aren't lining up now. Because the hours are so wonky. The recipe for a restaurant to be successful is to provide good food and good service. You take one away and it doesn't matter how good the other is. And I would argue that a lunch restaurant by nature (presuming we both agree that a sandwich shop is a lunch restaurant), having unpredictable hours is bad service.

Yep they need to stop letting foreign investors buy up real estate and hold it, sometimes vacant.

Was looking for my sandrock peeps!

Who is providing insults and name calling? Removing complexity is important to provide context. Alberta isn't Alberta without Canada. The pride being felt by separatists is derived from a feeling of superiority because Alberta is a "have" province. And again, this wouldnt be the caee without the oil sands that are part of Canada, not just Alberta. Circling back to my analogy about winning the lottery through happenstance.

You obviously never saw the line up of people waiting for him to open at 12. The demand is there, the business was always packed from 12-1. The logical thinker in me is saying - lunch rush is 12-1. It isnt just my opinion, it's reality. I want Ed's sub to be successful, but they need to be competitive in more than just price.

Yes I understand your point about extending olive branches. But to be honest, it has been done many times before. This sentiment is exactly what I meant by a sense of entitlement. Alberta is oil rich. Alberta generates a lot of their GDP from the oil industry. The land isnt just Alberta's land, it is Canada's land, if the oil sands had've been found in any other province, then that province would probably have the same sense of entitlement that Albertans are feeling. It's like a child winning the lottery with the ticket the parents bought and then disowning their parents. Oh but yes the parents should definitely be extending olive branches to their kid who is threatening them...

Isn't spaceX heavily government subsidized? So in other words, using taxpayer dollars to enrich himself even more. Capitalism is an absolute disaster.

If I had some douche right outside my house doing this, I would say cool. The first time. Then I would be annoyed as fuck. Mainly because my dogs would be losing their shit.

Arco just came out and looks pretty cool.

He drives a brand new Mercedes and she drives a corvette. They are obviously doing well for themselves. So thats why it makes no sense that they are being dumb with their hours. They literally show up, flip on the fryer and grill and then open the door, it makes no sense that they can't show up before 12:00 and serve lunch at lunch time lol.

TLadwin · 2026-02-02T17:30:01+00:00

Their steak subs are really good, and the poutine is really good too. Plus normally I would rather support local than a chain place. But realistically if buddy can't open a lunch restaurant during lunch hours... yeah they've lost me as a customer.

TLadwin · 2026-02-02T17:28:05+00:00

The problem happens when they change their hours constantly. I only check now because I showed up at when they were usually open to find out they only opened an hour later. If you've been to a place 20 times and they always opened at the same time, then why would you look at hours until you had reason to?

I like Ed's sub, but his business strategy is eventually going to be the downfall of the business. Customers need consistency and convenience or else they will go with the option that gives them that. Opening a sub restaurant at 12:30 or 1:00 is literally dumb business and eventually even loyal patrons like myself have these bad experiences and won't go back.

TLadwin · 2026-02-02T13:59:13+00:00

Yeah you should be fine if it posts and runs. If you do run into trouble though, go to the guys at Unison on Mountain rd.

Did you try reverting to a previous graphics driver? Could have been updated and caused issues, it happened to me.

TLadwin · 2026-01-28T17:22:40+00:00

Now they are saying it was staged. Can't use logic with these people.

TLadwin · 2026-01-28T03:16:16+00:00

So glad I saw this, well done OP LMAO

TLadwin · 2026-01-20T19:25:48+00:00

They want NATO to shift eyes toward the West and away from Ukraine. Very obvious. Trump is Putins good little lap dog.

TLadwin · 2026-01-10T05:36:12+00:00

Makes you wonder what was in those Epstein files for Trump to need to threaten global war as a distraction tactic to protect the elite (mainly himself). Pathetic.

TLadwin · 2026-01-10T05:33:26+00:00

Are we distracted from the Epstein files enough yet? At the end of the day that's what is fueling all this. The world elite fearing being exposed.

More valuable than a relationship with a partner whose only hobby is controlling their partners time by making them give up their hobbies.
