This Subway shop in the Central Valley is one of the highest ranked in nation. Here's why

Caruthers is a small town just off the 41, about 15 miles south of downtown Fresno. About 2,600 people live there, according to the 2020 census. It has one of the country’s best-rated Subways. The Subway at 2459 W. Tahoe Ave. has 349 reviews on Google and an average rating of 4.80. SEO Backlinks , a digital public relations and data analysis firm, looked at all Subway restaurants with more than 100 reviews and found that makes the Caruthers location the third-best Subway restaurant in the state and the 10th-best Subway in the country. “Every Subway sells the same menu, so when one of them scores this high across hundreds of reviews, it comes down to the people behind the counter,” said Oliver Weston, the founder of SEO Backlinks, in a press release. The Subway is attached to a Valero gas station and a laundromat. Many of the Caruther Subway’s reviews praised the staff’s customer service, with several people detailing how they’re always greeted with a smile. The best-ranked Subway restaurants in California were: 5070 Rocklin Rd, Rocklin, CA 7930 E Florence Ave, Downey, CA 2459 W Tahoe Ave, Caruthers, CA 21612 Plano Trabuco Rd, Trabuco Canyon, CA 5150 Fair
