Jersey Mike’s Subs

BEST Mike’s location in the city. The staff is always courteous and helpful. They seem like they enjoy being there together and working as a team. It is always a positive atmosphere and the food is always great. Try it Mike’s way!

This is my spot! I feel like the employees know every person that walks through their door and it makes for a great environment that you don’t typically see in 2015.
It’s a «sub shop» but DO NOT file them away with the «Subways» of the world. This place is on a whole other level. The ingredients are simple and fresh. Meats are sliced on the counter right in front of you.
They have a rewards club, so rack up the points towards free menu items. Pepsi products on tap, TVs in the corners, and menu items to fit everybody’s needs. (Veggie options, kids menu, etc)
As I said in my tip below, go with the #9!

The ingredients were fresh and the employees were really great (recommending sandwiches). The only thing that I didn’t love was the blandness of the sandwich. They don’t have the variety of veggies and sauces that other sub shops have.

I ordered the Original #13. The meat and cheese was sliced too thin. The salami and pepperoni was literally see through. The cheese could not be tasted at all and everything was overpowered by the dressing.

This is the best sub shop in town! Much better than any Subway you’ll find! All the bread is made fresh daily!

A favorite of mine because it offers «mini» subs, which are just enough.

The key to a sub shop, at this point, has to be differentiation. There is a saturation of the market. Off the top of my head I can think of Subway, Quizno’s, Potbelly, Jimmy John’s, Penn Station, and Blimpie. These, of course, are amongst the chains.
A lesser known is Jersey Mike’s. Their point of differentiation is they cut the meat to order. I guess for those of us who are deli meat connoisseurs and can tell the difference between pre-​sliced deli meat and freshly sliced deli meat this is quite important. My palette is not so refined, I suppose.
To me Jersey Mike’s is almost exactly like Subway but with fewer choices. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just a nondescript thing. If you are in an area that has no Subway but does have a Jersey Mike’s, you can rest assured you will receive a similar product. If you want a submarine sandwich (that’s how we all refer to them nowadays, yeah?) and you are in an area without a Subway nearby but there is a Jersey Mike’s, you will probably walk away satiated, just not impressed.
