    Jersey Mike's is the nationwide franchise that I have been waiting to make a home with us out here…read morein this area. Out of all the fast food, this is the everyday sandwich choice that is fresh, high quality and delicious - every single time. We have been eating and appreciating their sandwiches for years and so we were thrilled to see this franchise open. As with all the others, the people are friendly and helpful and the sandwiches are so good. I had my favorite, The Original Italian. The Italian meats are sliced fresh and the bread is perfect for a sandwich. I get the Mini, a 5 inch sub on white bread with provolone, ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, and pepperoni. Dressing the sub Mike's Way really pops and I get it all - lettuce, tomato, onion, olive oil and red wine vinegar, salt and oregano. Jersey Mike's also offers a hot cherry pepper relish that is WONDERFUL! Yes, it packs some heat; but it is the good kind. The other item to request on the side are their excellent, crisp and tasty sandwich pickles. I like to eat them out of hand rather than on the sandwich, but remember to ask for them. My husband always gets one of the 7 inch Regular size Cheese Steaks. There are nine different selections and they're grilled to order. This time he had the Big Kahuna Chicken with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, and extra white American cheese. He loves the way the Rosemary Parmesan bread tastes with it and the way the bread holds all the juicy ingredients in. He also uses some of the hot cherry pepper relish and eats the pickles, too! They're really that good. Most of the suburban Jersey Mike's Subs that have popped up are small - heavy on the to go side of things. This restaurant is the same. Three 4 chair tables and three 2 tall chair tables. It's a shame really because we love to eat our sandwiches "hot off the press" so to speak when the bread is perfect and my husband's sandwich is steaming hot. But it's adequate and most folks actually are just coming and going. The parking can be a little slim, it's a busy lot. Frankly, I would even walk from down the street if I needed to. Once again, it's that good!

He is extremely rude. He told me my food was only sitting there for a minute before he handed it to me, and was very smuggle on the phone. He was not helpful. He was nasty. He was not there when I was getting my sandwich made because workers on the line. I am extremely disgusted about how I was treated not only in the store, but on the phone. This is very discouraging, and I will not be giving anymore, and for a manager to speak to a customer like that. He needs to be retraen. This was discussing and does not need to happen to anybody else. Please avoid This cost.

    Have done quite a bit of business with this Subway, however today I was shocked at the service…read more Ordered three sandwiches, two were made by one girl, the third was made by I'm sure a new employee who apparently did not know how to prepare sandwiches correctly. As she cut the bread she was so shallow with her cut on the top it was barely enough bread to hold together. This sandwich was a meatball which comes with sauce that I was concerned wouldn't hold together. With the possibilities of dropping hot sauce on my lady's lap. I mentioned to her there is a prominent line in the bread showing where to cut. She froze, said nothing or did nothing--Tru was her name. I waited after no response from any of the people behind the counter I let her continue to see if the sandwich held up after she completed it. The sandwich was wrapped before I could verify this. I asked to speak to manager and it must have been "whose day is it to be the manager." No one stepped up. I repeated myself and finally one employee stepped up and then a different person from the first one. I knew that this was not going to go well. I explained let's move out of line as not to enter fear with other patrons. She was hesitant but followed me to a table away from customers after I politely asked twice. I was expecting a reply when I showed her my issue as expected the sandwich was held together only by the cheese. I was explaining and addressed the line in the bread where all my other sandwich's were split long way. She immediately snapped and said that's the way they cut the bread referring to the one in question. She was a young kid with no management background, I'm positive. If so, she's failing. I made a comment: "It's evident you're not going to help me," She said okay and walked away. I was expecting a "We will make you another if you're not happy." evidently, not the procedure in this store or hers. I asked for the owners name and got nothing so I asked her name (no name tag or hat) hair coverage is required I believe in most restaurants by the way) of prep food handlers. She like the rest of the crew was quiet upkeep and questionable to be handling food. She said no way so I pulled out my phone to snap her pic she retreated to kitchen before I took pic. Another kid not sure boy or girl except lots of tats, piercing and multi colored hair unwashed and greasy, (every business owners first choice of employee, "NOT" told me boldly I couldn't take pics in store. I replied I believe I can as no postings to the contrary on glass at front of store identifying franchise or corporate operations. Also no postings of owners name inside as most qualified restaurants do. She made me aware she would call the cops and I said do it. Before I realized it these kids were going to make a screaming match out of this stupid issue. No offer to make me a new one just stone face defiance. Service sucks these days and kids don't respect anyone not even themselves the way they act, dress and lack of discipline. Only trying to get over on the old man (75). Lack of qualified personnel in this store. All defiant children raised by single parent homes who don't care, I'm sure. And a franchise owner who really doesn't care or employees would not treat the public this way. I left as not to create a bigger scene than was already unfolding. Thinking I would call Corporate afterwards; *wrong*, corporate does not post phone numbers anywhere online. I expect a the large amount of complaints can justify them not caring either how franchises conduct their business representing Subway. What company with any business sense doesn't post a customer service number? So as a consumer I have a choice I will not spend my money with that label anywhere and start sharing my experience as I'm doing here with intent of distracting other from patronizing this or any subway location especially this one. Freedom of speech feels good. I will continue to spread the word as they say " He told someone and he told someone etc" you get the idea, I hope!

I looked online where they offer online ordering for pickup and fish was not there. I called and a woman who refers to people as "hun" (which is patronizing and should not be used) told me the two options without price listings so I had to ask for prices after they described the plate options. Then once I knew what I wanted I called back later to order by phone. The same woman answered and told me I needed to use the online ordering system and I asked how could I if the Fry-day special isn't there? She then had to step away and ask someone about this and confirmed she had to take our order(which is what I had already said). I ordered the four piece fish plate with two sides, $18. They said it'd be 10 minutes so my husband immediately left to pick it up. When he brought it home I opened it and they gave me fish with no sauces of any kind. I tried the fish. It was fresh but dry- and had little flavor. I opened the spicy creamed corn, there was no spice. I opened the pinto beans and the smell was unappetizing. So I decided to return the meal and request something different. I took the food back and told them of my dissatisfaction. The restaurant was bustling with families dining inside of a more mature crowd. I think they'd need to do something a little more fun to bring in lots of younger families to dine in. The supervisor and seemingly head chef took back the food and said this is why they don't have fish on the online menu. I said "what do you mean"? He answered because it may not travel well. I think they missed the point here. Fish is not a winning dish for them. The fish was flavorless and dry. The sides were unseasoned. As a replacement I got a loaded baked potato and slice of pie ($13.50+ $4.19) since I wanted something for equal value. The pie was fine. The potato was really great! This is where they shine. They make awesome sausage and well flavored chicken. I will not be back for fish but I would definitely return for sausage or chicken and for managers that make having a bad experience easy to resolve.
