jersey mike's subs

 one opened here a few months ago & they sent out buy one, get one free coupons. so my brother & i decided to give it a try.

1. they are expensive. $9.45 for a 7 inch sub sandwich. i had looked up prices on-line one one of those menus for a bunch of restaurants sites & they're info is out of date or something. they said the most expensive sandwiches were $7.95. with coupon, & because of the tax, we payed $10.02 for 2 sandwiches.

2. they put too much lettuce on them. i've had salads with less lettuce. the mayo on mine was so-so. or as my brother said; "it's no hellman's."

3. if you have the cold subs "mike's way" you get lettuce (too much) tomatoes, onion, spices and oil & vinegar. they douse the sandwich in oil & vinegar. my brother & i split our sandwiches (he had the italian & had the club supreme), he had the mike's way thing & the bread was wet from it. i told him to to get it, but he did not listen. they also have pickles & banana peppers.

4. it's a small place & they did not have all of the sandwiches listed on their web site. we had looked it it before going & settled on a few we were interested in, but they didn't have like 3/4 of them.

over all better then subway, more on less on the same level as jimmy john's (without the loud music) they say the 7 inch is good for 2 people & i believe it. they have an 14 inch & they could be 2 meals for a person. they also have a 5 inch one. they have chips, cookies as well had pepsi fountain drinks and i don't see how you can get any of that if you get anything bigger then the 5 inch. the sandwiches would be about $1 cheaper if they cut back on the lettuce, oil & vinegar.

if it wasn't for the cost, i'd go again. i would try a hot sub or a cookie maybe even the different brand of root beer they have in the self serve fountain. if someone offered to pay for it, i would not say no. i'd ask for about half the lettuce though.
