Jersey Mike’s Subs

I’ve been in love with Jersey Mikes ever since they came to Chicago when there were very limited locations. Now they seem to be popping up all over the place. No more having to drive to the burbs for these tasty sandwiches. Im a «giant «turkey on wheat «Mikes Way» kind of guy.
I enjoy the taste of these subs better than the «eat fresh» competition. A major plus for me is how the meat and cheese are cut fresh right in front of you. Small things like that go a long way with me.
With all that being said, for some reason today at this particular location my service was less than satisfactory. I was greeted by one of the staff but the young lady who made my sub was a lot less friendly. Not sure if it was just one of those days for her but I’m used to friendlier and more attentive staff at other locations. Other than the less than acceptable service my sandwich was still great.

Sub in a tub is great idea. No bread for me. The space is tight but maybe I’m not. You guys rock.

CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS. I work for a company in Elmhurst and we order from here occassionally. We place an average of 14 – 16 orders totaling around $ 200+. However the manager doesn’t seem to care that we spend out money at this location because everytime we’ve picked up from there I hear a complaint about how we’ve order too much. One time the manager straight up told me do not order online when you have an order this big. I had called about 5 – 6 times prior and each time it went to VM. So what am I supposed to do? I’ve got 15 people wanting sandwiches. So I do the next best thing is to order online. Sorry your phone doesn’t work?
Apparently they do not care for our business — so we’ll take our money to another local sandwich shop. Perhaps JJ. Thanks for the underwhelming customer service Jersey Mike’s. You’ve officially been blacklisted.

Jersey mikes is terrible. I tried it once and I can’t believe people actually eat there. Poor quality. Drenched in some nasty marinade. Maybe it was a bad day but I can’t even think of a jersey mike sub anymore without thinking about my bad experience. Sorry mike!

Love the Italian and Steak sub! The only knock on it is the line CAN move slow!

My first time eating Jersey Mike’s. It was quite tasty. I had a group order for 8 sandwich’s and they made them all perfectly in about 3 minutes. Fast friendly service and tasty sandwiches!

I love sandwiches! Subway, Potbellys, Jimmy Johns, Quiznos, ma and pa delis, anywhere and everywhere. Happened to be close to this Jersey Mikes and was excited to try them. The menu was perfect in size. Not too many options but enough where I was teetering between two I wanted to try. Settled on the «healthier» of those two and went with the California Club. The regular is plenty for any adult. The staff at this location was on top of the lunch rush and kept the line moving along. Seeing the meat cut fresh in a chain sandwich shop was definitely a plus. The sandwich felt fresh. Everything about it was good. Loved the options for toppings, simple and straightforward. Now to find a Jersey Mikes by me!

The lady on the phone and in person was not that nice… I tried a Meatball Cheese for the first time. It was only OK. The meatballs were good but I think I would’ve liked more cheese and tomato sauce on it. I probably wouldn’t get it again. I will stick with the Chipotle Cheese Steak!

This is the first bad review i ever gave and probably will give. If you are a vegetarian stay away. Only options they have for vegetarians is the grilled veggie wrap and the cold veggie sandwich and i wouldn’t recommend cold it because the only veggie they will put on there is basically green peppers, tomato and lettuce. The grilled veggie is the only one I get. Any other Jersey mikes in St Charles and Geneva will do it in any sandwich size. They told me they would make it in regular size. What I ended up paying $ 7 and and some change just for small 4 inch size sandwich. Will never go there and would rather spend my money else where. They will not listen and will not cater to you.

Of the fast food sub sandwich places, Jersey Mikes is one of the better options. What sets it apart is the fresh sliced meat. Another thing that I really like about this place is the staff. They are always super friendly. I have no complaints about the food or the atmosphere. In fact, I’d visit more frequently if their coupons lasted more than a day or two. I’ve signed up, and occasionally receive the free chips and drink coupon, but I’ve never been able to use it because it expires too quickly. Case in point, I just checked my old email and found a coupon they sent me on ⁴⁄₂₁ that was good through ⁴⁄₂₃. That’s it … and I didn’t go, but probably would have if I had a little more time.
As of this writing there are ninety-​six restaurants in Elmhurst. I plan on eating at, and reviewing, every one. Follow me on Unilocal

Sweeeet jersey mikes (bah bah bah) Italian subs never seemed so good (so good, so good, so good). I’m a fan, can you tell? Anytime I come to this location I always get the fresh tuna or the delicious Italian sub. Tons of meats and spices and oil and vinegar. I usually never make it home to eat it. The service is always friendly and fast, I have never waites in a line, sat at a dirty table or had a negative experience. #13, it’s lucky, trust me.

For hot (toasted) subs, it seems that Potbellies is the place to go; consider Jersey Mikes’ your #1 destination for cold subs. Their ‘regular’ sandwiches aren’t exactly cheap like Jimmy John’s, but they taste great, especially when done «Mike’s way» with oil & vinegar, seasonings, etc. This location had plenty of TV’s, unexpected for a submarine joint, and SWEET TEA! A welcome change from Barq’s root beer and diet Pepsi. They were also very courteous and prepared their sammy’s with care, as well as having a meticulously clean restaurant overall. –1 star because my sub + chips + drink was just over $ 10; I did not anticipate paying this much, but hey, at least it was yummy. I would enjoy coming back.

This is my first experience with Jersey Mike’s subs. So I might try then again, I did like my sub, but I didn’t enjoy it much because the person making the sandwiches seem to have his glove on for every customer that order their sub. I wouldn’t mine every two or three order but when he went to the side to open food doors and wipe down counter with the same terry towel and knife handle he also wipe the counter
with his hands and still the same glove on. I was about to ask him change gloves but he was moving fast, because it was so busy, If the employee had NAME TAG on i would had call out is Name ask to change them. i like fact they hire a person to keep the tables clean.

What a great place! I stopped here after a trip to Walmart for a small lunch snack. I have had their subs before, but nothing really outstanding and wonderful. For 1pm, the store was surprisingly empty. The one man greeted me instantly, and proceeded to joke around with me which made me smile! That’s a big thing for me, if you can make me smile you have my business for life!
I ordered a chicken caesar wrap and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup.
The rest of my journey down the food line was wonderful, both the guys working were cracking jokes and being silly. It really made the experience all that much more relaxed for me! They were even sad that I was taking it «to go»! A wonderful bunch of boys, I can’t rave enough about them.
Back to the food! My wrap was outstanding! The right amount of everything wrapped up in a warm tortilla shell. Extremely filling too. The soup was great as well, a very good thing to eat on a cold day.
I highly recommend this place, and try a wrap! They are 100x better than the subs!

Jersey Mike’s is nothing special… closer to awful actually. The first knock was the prep area. It was a mess with lettuce and other vegetables all over the place. The bread was just sitting on the counter in the open and the sandwich was «assembled» in the open right next to the cash register on a counter top (not made stainless steel like most food shops). Not the most sanitary of environments.
I ordered the roast beef and provolone sub with lettuce, tomato, seasonings, and mayo. I also got a bag of chips. The sandwich maker gave me turkey instead of beef. When I told him that it was wrong, he apologized and placed the turkey somewhere and put beef on instead. The total was over $ 8.50…expensive. I got back to my office and was excited to eat. That excitement quickly faded when I took my first few bites. It was one of the most tasteless and bland subs that I have ever had. I couldn’t even taste the mayo, but definitely saw it on there. The seasonings did nothing either. The beef was… beefy, but had no flavor otherwise.
To sum it up, this place is lame, expensive, and pretty messy. Go to Jimmy John’s instead for a quick sub that tastes good.

The sandwich I recommend is the Club (Mike’s way) with banana peppers.
SO good.
The hot sandwiches have to sit for about 10 minutes before you can actually eat them but they are good as well.
The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is nice as well.

I am not a Jersey Mike’s-first sub sandwich type of guy. But let me say this, Jersey Mikes in Elmhurst is the best one I have been to yet. These guys have the right attitude and style that make it a good overall experience.
The sandwich was fresh, the attitudes were fresh, the sun was shining, and good times were had by all.

Had the philly hot sub… excellent, the guys here are nice and will be back again. Everything was fresh and it beats subway and all the other joints by a mile.
Thumbs up!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!
It amazes me how jerk-​ish people can be to a restaurant and its staff when they are eating for free. I went each of the first couple of days and found myself embarrassed to be an Elmhurstian. This staff and its managers were kicking butt, a bit weeded but still smiling and working, and I saw at least 8 people over the two days, with free coupons in hand, that made silly complaints (such as raising a big stink because they wouldn’t include double meat for their free coupon) or was just downright rude to both the staff and fellow customers. One lady had 7, yes 7 free coupons, each of her sandwiches had significant «instructions» to them, and while it was taking a little longer than the average McDonald’s, she had the gull to loudly complain to the customers around her how she didn’t expect this place to survive because they were slow. I told her she was high maintenance and to keep her negative attitude to herself. That went over like a fart in church but how can you try to take business away from a family giving you free food?
Overall, after the first few kinks are worked out, I will be eating here often. Best sub shop around!!! I highly recommend this gem of a sandwicheria.

Took a friend here for his birthday and wow during lunch hour the line can get pretty long! However, the line is constantly moving and the service is fast-​paced. My friend and I decided to get the Giant Chipotle Cheese Steak and split it.
I love that the bread is nice and soft and warm. The sandwich was tasty and cheesy. I wished they would put more ingredients in it besides just the grilled onions, peppers, and chipotle mayo like lettuce and tomatoes — I wonder if I could just ask for it? I’ll ask next time.
Overall, I like the cheese steak, but I will definitely try something else the next time I’m there.
