Jersey Mike’s Subs

This place used to be really busy when it first opened because it was SO needed in this area, but I’m happy to report its now much quicker and less crowded. The people who work here are very personable and make great conversation. They take your order early and they run it like a well oiled machine. Managers special is a great deal for 2 ($ 15.99 for a giant with 2 drinks and 2 chips).

So I had a BOGOF coupon for this new (ish) location that was to expire at the end of the week. Sure, I’ll give it a try! After running a few local errands, I pop in (around 2:30pm) to grab a few subs to bring home with me. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, for some reason I was expecting sterile subway tile, linoleum and formica. Instead, it was pretty warm and inviting… I briefly considered staying and eating in.
Now, I grew up in NJ, and although I have now lived in CA for at least as long as I did there, I am still somewhat of a Jersey Girl at heart — especially when it comes to sub sandwiches. For a franchise/​chain, Jersey Mike’s does a pretty good version of a New Jersey style sub. White, Italian bread — check. Provolone??? Cappacuolo??? check, check. Thinly shredded lettuce, with sliced tomato and onion — check. «Real» Italian dressing — you know, red wine vinegar, oil, and Italian Seasonings sprinkled (separately) on top of it all — oh yeah, check. and mate.
The employees here were all friendly and personable. The guy making my sub asked me how my day was going — and actually looked at me, waiting for a response! hmmmm. Maybe this is not like NJ after all…

My husband and daughter went to pick up dinner tonight. They said it was painfully slow for and order of 3 sandwiches. Then they get home and the bread on the 2 wheat was so stale and hard I could have made bread crumbs from it. Not sure why I even gave it two stars. Maybe because I hope it improves, the sandwiches at their other locations have always been so good. Fingers crossed or this will not last long in that location.

Good food, good customer service. Eating area and restrooms needed some attention. Parking sucks, limited and small.

sandwhiches are consistently delicious and the employees are always so friendly. i love coming here.

We usually frequent that one in RB, but figured we would try out the new one in Poway, as it is closer to us. Big mistake. Wasn’t even a peak time and we phoned our order in (like always)…there is no phone order line, so you have to wait with everyone else. Then they told us to «make our way to the front» to pay… uh yeah, we received tons of dirty looks and comments… understandably so! We only ordered 2 sandwiches (nothing complicated and w/​no unusual requests) and they were made incorrectly. Back to the RB one for us!

I went in shortly after they open an ask to make me a sandwich that I can travel in my car with. Drew was helping me and he said he didn’t think he could make that happen? I said «well just do it the way you want to do it and it will work».
Drew went to making my sandwich… his way! Then he asked if I wanted it wet? I said geez Drew, how my going to travel with that?! He laughed.
Great customer service!
Engaged the customer.
Made a great sandwich and we both enjoyed ourselves.
I work in the same parking lot.
‘ll be there a lot!

My husband and I went here tonight! Great customer service, clean, fast, and tasty. Need I say more? We got a #56(Philly cheesesteak with jalapeños and extra cheese). They have a manager special. Giant sandwich, 2 drinks and 2 chips $ 15.99! What a deal! Will be visiting again soon.
