Couple of harsh reviews but I've been nothing but happy with Jersey Mike's. I've never seen or heard of other locations but this one opened down the road and after trying it out, I've returned about 15 times now and will continue to do so. It's NOT like subway at all actually...
I have always had great sandwiches from here and have always had a lot of meat stuffed in, to the point to where a big sandwich basically makes 2 meals for me. The stuff is always fresh and tastes super good so, no problems there.
I will give a word to the wise tho... Although it's very good... "Mikes Way" has them put a bunch of oil & vinegar on and if you plan on keeping half for dinner or next day be careful w/ mikes way as it'll saturate the bread over time. Mikes Way eaten right away is the bomb tho... loves it. Just heads up.
I will say they do take some time to make the food, and lunch time can get pretty busy and lengthy so they'll want to work on that. But they slice the meat for every sandwich and it seems that may be part of the backup. I've gone in there at night to pickup food on the way home and it didn't seem to take as long.
Pricey? Eh... I'm not saying that... I think they're very competitive and I've never thought that the times I've been there. Not as much as Capriotti's but not as cheap as Subway... but subway sucks so lol...
Good small patio for nice days to eat outside... good amount of inside seating but again gets busy at lunch (cause it's good) and the one downside is they only have Pepsi products.... fail... I like Coke :/
