| - Disappointed. I'm from Jersey, everybody in my family raves about Jersey Mikes and they are all in Jersey. First off, I ordered the Italian sub that comes with the works (5 different meats) and is supposed to come with provolone. Got home to Buckeye to learn there was no provolone on my sandwich. That throws the taste of an Italian sub off, period. My second disappointment was the meat. The franchise contracts out to a provisioner to make all their cold cuts under the Jersey Mike's label, but the meat does not have the flavor of New Jersey's finest deli meats, Thumann's. Boar's Head doesn't come in close to Thumann's but I'll take Boar's Head when nothing else is available. Third place goes to Dietz and Watson. If Peter Cancro, the CEO of Mike's really cares, he'll get his meat elsewhere.
The staff was very friendly, the restaurant was clean, there were blown up photos of the Pt. Pleasant side of the Manasquan Inlet and Jenk's pier with surfers heading out, a nice touch of back home, but that's the best I can say. The staff was so personable I don't regret leaving them a tip even though they forgot my cheese. I just wish I had a good reason to go back and see them again.
