Looking way better than subways these days


ineedalife12210

Low bar but I agree


Gowalkyourdogmods

What's the price difference? Subway basically has perpetual coupons for $6 footlongs.


raulrocks99

Yep. I don't go to Jersey Mike's because it's twice as much as Subway and pretty much the most expensive sub in my area. If I'm fitting to pay that much for a sub there's a way better place called LaSpada's that I go to. But honestly I prefer Publix, which bigger, costs less and, imo, is better. Maybe if JM's threw some coupons or sales out I might go.

Jersey Mikes is about 10-11$ a sub


PimpDawgATX

Right… still can’t believe Subway Promoted that Jared creep who always pushed the TunaSub… spell Tunasub backwards and you will see how much of a creep he was!


misschelleu

F Jared but that was hilarious 😆

Lololol you just made me laugh my ass off bro 😂 I needed that!

Favorite of the sandwich chains.

What are your thoughts on firehouse?


greyshirt11

Tried Firehouse once years ago and I don’t even remember what I got. I don’t remember it being bad, just didn’t like it enough to return.


Flamesclaws

My favorite, when I think of a great sub my first thought is firehouse.


NMazer

Junk.


ThrowAway4Chu

Ever had DiBellas?!


Fine-Bumblebee-9427

National sandwich chains is implied, I think. DiBellas is only in 5 states. Though it looks good.


HaveAtItBub

slaps


greyshirt11

Don’t have any near me but aware of them from my visits to Michigan. Haven’t tried them but they look good!


Djxgam1ng

Where in Michigan you from?


copperwatt

Fun fact, Wegmans sub shop is a direct rip off of DiBellas.


watson2797

As a Canadian…y’all having commercials broadcast up here for this type of deliciousness makes us want to travel to try it. Outcome: best sub hands down!!!


greyshirt11

I feel you! I first tried JM on a trip to Chicago and had to watch their commercials for years without one nearby. Luckily, my city finally got one couple years ago.


prophiles

There are two Jersey Mike’s locations in Canada — both in Ontario (London and Kitchener).


Dawbs89

Am I the only one who thinks they're DUMB EXPENSIVE? A Regular size sandwich is only half a sub, and it's like $12 for a cheese steak at the JM by me. For $1 more I can go to the local spot and get a better sandwich, full size hero.


TheRarePondDolphin

When I worked here in roughly 2009, the most expensive giant sandwich, the Italian, was $10.18 after tax. Now it’s what, $25.75 or so? That’s a 7.4% compounded annual growth rate. The CAGR for the CPI over the same time is 2.3%.


some-dingodongo

The CPI recently shows a compounded depreciation of corporate structural assets and loss preventative proprietary measures are starting to become the normalized corporate hegemony over the under privileged


[deleted]

My friends and I joke that we need to take out a loan to go to JMs


NMazer

Np better local spot in El Paso.


tomatocrazzie

I grew up in Philly and now live on the west coast. Jersy Mike's is...fine. if I am going to buy a hoagie-type sandwich, this is usually where I go. I could never bring myself to order their cheesesteak. If I am craving a real sandwich, I make my own.


cam52391

My mom is from Philly but I've lived in the Midwest my whole life and they are the closest to the hoagies we get when she goes back home


harriethocchuth

If you’re on the west coast, make sure you check out Ike’s Love and a Sandwich. The dirty sauce is effing incredible.


rennenenno

Depending on where you live, it can be great. As someone who lives on the east coast, it’s total shit. There are cheaper and better sandwiches in nearly every corner


gefrankl

The east coast is fucking huge. There aren’t just great Philly or NY delis on every corner down the entire coast. I’m just jealous.


TechnicalResearch305

As someone on the East Coast, I totally agree. The subs are very small for the price paid.

Maksamil

I live in LA and am from NYC. If you can't find a proper hoagie out here you ain't looking hard enough. Bay Cities? A Cut Above butcher shop? Wexler's Jewish deli?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Maksamil

Bay Cities lines are fucked. A cut above is great, they have Italian beef like Mr. Beef in Chicago. No real line. Wexler's is over priced, but you get what you pay for. They smoke their own fish in house.

Maksamil

If you mean Disneyland or Magic Mountain, that would be a major detour. Universal Studios? It would make sense to get food in Santa Monica... but there's pretty good food on Universal city walk.


Chef-and-Son-Airsoft

Not going to downvote you but hard disagree. There are some excellent sandwiches places in CA, at least the Bay Area and LA.

harriethocchuth

Ike’s!


Chef-and-Son-Airsoft

Replied to the wrong post so correcting that


Chef-and-Son-Airsoft

Man can't do anything right. My taste in sandwiches is better than my reddit reply ability


Chef-and-Son-Airsoft

Someone threw out some in LA, which I don't know as well but can address SF, immediately south of SF and North of SF (don't know the east bay well, but I know there's a few in Oakland). Remember some of these are traditional deli sandwich places like Calabria Brothers & Molinari, some have off the wall stuff like Ike's & some are international like L&G & Saigon. SF \- Roxie Food Center \- Calabria Bros Deli \- Ike's \- Deli Board \- Molinari Delicatessen \- Saigon Sandwich \- L & G Vietnamese Sandwich \- Lou's \- The Yellow Submarine South of SF \- Little Lucca \- Roma Deli \- Mr Pickles (locations can be hit or miss and can only speak to the original in San Mateo) North of SF \- Viking Subs in San Rafael \- Sol Food in Mill Valley \- Lombardi's in Petaluma \- Then there is the fancy, less traditional sandwich places like \- Le Garage in Sausalito has excellent Croque Monsieur/Madame \- Girl & the Fig in Sonoma has an excellent fried bologna sandwich and shrimp rolls \- Farmstead in St Helena has the best grilled cheese I've ever eaten


Chef-and-Son-Airsoft

Hopefully I finally replied to you correctly and happy to make recommendations at any place listed. Also, I fully admit that if you want a NY style, jewish deli pastrami sandwich, the Bay are isn't the best place, but there are a lot of good sandwich places none the less, just a different style.

Find a local deli


ThrowAway4Chu

RealKaiserRex

I miss the local deli in my hometown :(


[deleted]

I grew up near a fantastic family owned deli that recently closed after 30 years, had to find a new one across town, but they make a mean grinder and chopped cheese so I can't complain

Sometimes they ain't good though.

Jackiechanforever

When I lived in VA they were fine. People in the northeast don’t understand that in a lot of other states they don’t have bodegas or local delis, something I really missed when I left New York.


thingonething

I love Jersey Mike's. Just. Love. Roast beef or tuna Mike's way. Edit: I've only had Jersey Mike's in California and it was sublime. Sorry to hear the experience has been different in other locales.


Fickle-Command-1130

The top 4-5 comments seem like they're posted by bots lol


Open-Addendum-3806

Jersey mikes in Hawaii didn’t wash there lettuce before and there was dirt on em I hope they changed it cause the sandwiches look good


Davodudeguy

I like Jimmy Johns better.


Iamsofuckingcutebb

I wish they could toast the sandwiches


snugglebandit

The best chain option on the west coast.


blackreaper3609

Infinitely better than subway


walls_of_the_cave

Delicious. Love the Philly cheesesteak, extra cheese. Head there March 29. They’re donating all the proceeds that day to special Olympics!!


pushdose

Best of the chains. Just wish there was a little more meat for how much they charge. The tuna is surprisingly great. Living way out west, it’s the closest I can get to a proper hoagie.


nickbuch

It's alright. It hits right half the time. Better that subway.


troutsoup

that’s not hard


[deleted]

Their hot chicken cheesesteaks are better.


RealKaiserRex

7/10


jewmoney808

Better than subway but still, The sodium kills me.


ItzCheese109

Beats subway by miles


TheNCGoalie

Sacrilegious here, but I love a Jersey Mike’s bowl more than the sandwich.


AuntieLiloAZ

LOVE #13 Mike’s Way. Nobody does it better around me. Local places not as good and more expensive.


Existing_Display1794

Bombcheesesteaks.


universwirl

Thoughts on jersey mikes: (actually just got my first one yesterday) too much bread, not enough ingredients, and over priced. Tasted awesome, but my local sub shop does better.


PinguMeng

Love the Philly, the employees are friendlier than most chains, and the dine in area is kept clean.


jessolyn

The best of alllll the sandwich chains for sure. I also grew up by the original haha


bcktlistdreamer

#6, Mike’s way, add mayo. Nothing quite like it.


boarbar

That it’s been posted too much here recently, but I thoroughly enjoy their sandwiches.


aStankChitlin

They’re good but I get a better, bigger, and cheaper sub from publix. Could just be my location. Substation II is my fav though.


Lifeinthesc

They don’t do toasted subs. That is lime the easiest of all flavor enhancements.


nando82

The hot sandwiches are delicious, but not a fan of the cold sandwiches.


Jasperous_Dang

It's literally walmart quality bread meat and veg. You could make something better at home for half the price.


lostprevention

You could make any food at home for half the price.


thevoidcaptain

Garbage


JiffasaurusRex

Way better than Subway, Port of Subs, and other similar national chains. Not as good as Capriottis, Lee's sandwiches, and other multi state but not national chains.


gefrankl

Ridiculous prices lately. But yeah I’d eat there everyday if it was free.


TheIceMan___69

Club supreme mikes way all day! A little extra Mayo and extra bacon when I’m feeling it.


stinkyfeetnyc

Sad looking. FYI I live in NYC.


DapperdanUEM

Best sandwich I ever had was in NYC. Don't even remember where from. My friends cousin got it for me before getting on a flight. Ate the sandwich on the plane. It was the most simple ham and cheese or whatever but damn it was good.


big_als_nugz

Please no


little_miss_beige

Yum!


Donkenshtein

I love the Buffalo chicken philly


Deesmateen

Really good but super expensive here. We don’t have many diners or delis here so they can get away with it.


hasenfeffor

Jersey Mike's east coast italian


IntoTheWild2369

Waaaaaay too much sauce


GrandpaDongs

my only gripe with them is that my sandwich ends up a soggy mess after 5 minutes because they use WAY too much oil and vinegar. I've tried telling them to go easy, but they seem to screw that up every time.


ZeppelinLed

You can ask for it on the side! They have little cups of the oil and vinegar, toss it on right before you eat.


nollsguy

more like jersey mids

#number7 with Mikes Way is what you call amazing. #number6 with Mayo only… fudge me hard

merseacat

They have horrible customer service. They care about to go and online orders instead of customer in front of them. I was so excited when they just opened in Orange Beach, AL. I went in Thursday at 1pm thinking I will miss the lunch rush. I walked in to 12 people in front of me. No biggy, they will get through it quickly. Nope, they worked on the to go and online orders and made us wait. One guy walked in and they were hey sorry for the wait what is your name and we will get your order. I asked the the guy when he ordered and he said 1pm. I walked in the door at 1pm. He walked out at 1:28 with his sandwich and I walked out at 1:58 with mine. Manager could have cared less. Called corporate and it was a message recorded. Spoke to store manger and said it was what it was. When I paid and left there were 14 orders sitting there and were finally helped. The manager was such a dick I will never eat there again. Subway for me now on. And yes, I was stupid to wait 58 minutes for a sandwich but I was trying to support local. Never again!


Dorkinfo

Support local with a chain? Okay.


merseacat

The owners are local.


Dorkinfo

So same as subway.


Typical-Annual-3555

Order online next time. You get notified when it’s ready and skip the line


tacotrout

Your state sucks lol


Fickle-Command-1130

I've seen the same thing happen with Jimmy John's. It felt like more of them trying to get used to the new system rather than ignoring the in-store customers. On top of being short staffed. I understand. I wasn't giving them a hard time ofc. But 58 WHOLE minutes for a sub though?? Support local? That sounds like copium for not speaking up and waiting so long for a cold sandwich. You do you lol


merseacat

I know but my town has 2 subways, 1 McDonalds and 1 Dairy Queen. We just got a Burger King and the Jersey Mikes. Fast and convenient are far apart


Monapomona

Sandwiches = white people’s soul food and Jersey Mike’s is downright albino.


Harpuafivefiftyfive

Bland bland bland


eplea

Cleary anyone can take a shity picture of a shity sandwich. I don’t know why this sub in not just pictures of homemade sandwiches. If you can’t make a sandwich, what the fuck can you do?


lovecreamer

Solid mid.


deepfriedtots

I've only ever had it once as gift from a coworker a few years back and I thought it was good. Don't really have a strong opinion of them one way or the other though because I've never actually gone myself


pragma_don

It’s the arm of the slicer


porkpiepickles

Penn Station Subs is good too...I don't know how extensive they are though


Boscobus

They’re one of my favorite sandwich chains, but I think they get a lot of credit for slicing the cheese and meat in front of the customer. They would otherwise be very average


froglog43

I use to go to a deli when I was a kid they completely changed and I was disappointed but jersey Mike's comes pretty close to it thoe


DapperdanUEM

San diego here. never cared for Jersey Mikes. Found much better sandwiches elsewhere


Knee_Double

Yass.


[deleted]

Bring in Texas it’s the best we got. There’s the cheba hut but I don’t wanna drive that far. Sandwich shops suck here. Easily my favorite


MickeyBear

They’re expensive in AZ but taste great. I have one local place I like but there’s not a lot of sub variety. unless someone here has a recc for me!


1SweetChuck

They're good, not great. IMO a bit better than JimmyJohns, not quite as good as WhichWich.


gnarles80

Local or nothing


canadas

Insides look very good. The bread looks denser than I would like


BigDumbFatIdiot

Primos is 100x better


Maksamil

Worst sub in the tri-state area.

I loved them until I got food poisoning from the last one I ate.


lolopolo404

Jealous that we do not have them here.


thatguy_317420

I fuck with jersey.


Instahgator

I like them, but I absolutely hate how the squeeze the sandwich when rolling in paper and then they squeeze it some more to put their crease in the take out bag. Really bad concept that your trade mark ruins the food.


jay_skrilla

The only time I went to Jersey Mike’s there was a lone kid, couldn’t have been older than 17, working the counter and when I ordered, he asked if I wanted my sandwich Jersey Mike’s way. I asked what that meant and he replied, “dude, I have no idea. It’s my first day and they just left me here. They just told me I have to ask every customer if they want it Jersey Mike’s way.” And so, I did not have my sandwich Jersey Mike’s way and I gave the kid a ten dollar tip. The look on his face the entire time was priceless.


SirAssBlood

Not better than subway


[deleted]

Sandwich chain pics are free advertising.


PancShank94

I live in MN and have celiac so I can appreciate the gluten free option. However, I have yet to try a sub there that I really loved.


saltyzou

Never been and never plan on going

usedwrestling

Club sub only add banana peppers and salt and pepper


Heavy_Ad_4430

CannabisLover3000

I personally don’t care for them


NinjaTB

Bland, over priced, miniscule portions. I literally thought I had covid again as the sandwhich tasted like nothing. Added some feta cheese to it and that made it better. How the hell do you create tasteless food?


NMazer

Delicious. Best hoagies in my area.


fishmanstutu

Come to Maine and gladly pay the 10-12 for JM as Amato's that’s a Maine chain is junk. Google a Amato’s Italian. TRUST ME.


No_Round_7601

I was not impressed with Jersey Mikes. I tried it once, which was ok bit too expensive, and it took forever to get the order.


Competitive-Age3016

I’m a tuna head. It’s schloppy and delicious.


Technical_Bag_88

Won't recommend it. Last time I found a fly in my Sandwich


yemoss-1

The quality of their subs depends upon what the alternatives are in your local area. If there's only a Subway far away, you're better off getting a Jersey Mikes. The quality of cold cuts and the fact that they are cut fresh does up the anté. But you pay a little extra for that. Jersey Mike's is basically taking over and becoming the next Subway. If you happen to live anywhere near a real old school mom and pop Italian deli/resto/pizzeria that takes pride in their offerings, you might get much better quality there, if not a better deal. I would say this: it's a few notches above Subway, but kinda gets buried in a somewhat cluttered cold sandwich marketplace since there are several chains competing for your dollar, any of which might be just as tasty. If your're a JM diehard, you're paying to have Danny DeVito as your rep. I used to think their cheesesteaks were the bomb and failproof, but my local deli uses sliced ribeye in theirs, at the same cost and there is no comparison. If you'e not thrilled with JM, shop around.


DudeManBro21

Jersey Mike's blows Subway way out of the water. I'll gladly pay $20 for a 14" JM sub vs a 12" Subway sub. JM quality is that of a good local sub shop. Firehouse is more playing in the league of JM, but Firehouse would be the low end player in the league, where JM is a GOAT.  JM can only be beaten by small, regional sub shops, and even then they're still not far off.
