Small shop. Yummy food…read moreSimple layout. Nice assortment of joes tea! Ordered the grilled cheese and cheese steak as well as the curly fries

I love visiting eateries that remind me not to judge a book by its cover. Or a restaurant by its…read morerundown exterior and worn, no-nonsense decor. "This looks like a place I would come as a drunk college kid," my husband mused when we first stepped inside. True to his observations, the menu is rife with the kinds of deep fried goodies and artery-clogging sandwiches that are best meant for youthful bodies with optimal metabolism. We ordered a fun variety for ourselves - a meatball parm, a pound of buffalo wings, an order of curly fries, and - to balance things out - the harvest salad. For those ordering sandwiches, know that they're enormous. A half order is an 11" deal, while the whole is a Brobdingnagian 22". Our half sandwich was great, and definitely more than enough for us to share. We had few notes on anything we ordered. The curly fries were hot and crispy, the buffalo wings hot and tangy, and the meatball parm was just as expected. I was particularly surprised by the salad, which was just supposed to be a fresh and green counterpart to all the heavier foods. I would have been happy enough with some greens and a vinaigrette, but we had a pretty robust salad with blue cheese, chicken, and pieces of diced apple. I never would've expected to find a good salad at a place like this one, but there you go. There are a few high tables and stools, but little else by way of ambiance. Clearly, the focus here is to eat and clear out. That said, service at the counter was incredibly warm and friendly. As far as parking goes, there are a few spots out front and even a few more behind the building. I struggled with the number of stars here, because this isn't highbrow or fine dining. If that's what you're after, I'd definitely look elsewhere. But it's predictable, freshly prepared, and therefore perfect for a college town. If that's what you're expecting, this is your four-star spot.

This location opened I believe 1/21/25 so it is still fairly new. I have been here 4 times now,…read morethe first visit was a few days after they opened. Naturally, there was a new store glitch with the CC machine so I ordered online while in the store. And have ordered on the app since then just to have my sandwich ready or near ready when I get to the store. No issues for me & they have a frequent purchase program when you sign up. I have ordered the Classic Chicken club twice, the American Wagyu Club & most recently the Chicken Cheesesteak. The club sandwiches were quite stuffed & almost hard to eat (not something I'd eat in my car!). I did find the hand pulled turkey on the dry side though. I also stopped getting salt added as the first time it was a bit heavy handed with the bacon on the clubs. The Wagyu was good, may have to try it solo at some point. Also, my first club was the Medium 10" size & I couldn't finish it, all "Small" 8" sandwiches since then. I was disappointed with the Chicken Cheesesteak. It was not as "stuffed" as the cold sandy's. And the Chicken had an odd texture, a bit chewy. But cheesy as you can hopefully see in the pix. For dining in, they do have about 5 tables. So that's an option if desired. Will be going back to try a few of the other options & will update this review as needed. :)

Don't get me wrong the hero was extremely tasty but the price left a bad taste in my mouth. Thirty…read morebucks for a large plus a random ten bucks for sides and a drink. It's not a mystery why the Earl of Sandwich was beheaded. The "Princeton Price" is in overdrive here. Three stars for the quality.

Central New Jersey is not a forgiving place for a sandwich shop. This is the land of strip mall…read moredelis where the slicer has been humming since the Carter administration and where a man named Tony might judge your order with his eyebrows alone. The bar is high. The bread must be right. The ratios must be just so. There are generations of reputations at stake. And yet, here I am, awarding five stars to a chain. Jersey Mike's Subs has no business being this good in this zip code, but it is. The sandwiches are consistently solid, the bread soft with just enough backbone, the meats sliced to order with a reassuring whir and volume that says someone cares. You can get it Mike's Way and watch the oil and vinegar rain down like a benediction. It isn't theater. Its craft, executed with the steady competence of people who understand that how you spend your lunch money matters. In a region where family owned establishments will always reign supreme, Jersey Mike's is the crème de la crème of the chain sub world. That alone would earn them praise. Consistency is a virtue. Knowing that your Italian sub will taste the way it did last month and the month before that is a small but meaningful comfort in this chaotic world. But this particular location earns its fifth star for reasons that have nothing to do with provolone. Our school district has called on them more than once when an event needed catering and the budget was held together with hope and dollar store duct tape. They are quick with a discount code or a special price, the sort of quiet assistance that keeps a fundraiser from becoming a fiasco. Then there was the day we hosted a fundraiser for a family displaced by tragedy. When the owners learned why we were raising money, they donated every dime that we brought in. Not a percentage. Not merely the profits. Every single cent raised. There is no corporate memo or marketing guideline that can manufacture that kind of gesture. That is humanity. It's neighbors taking care of neighbors. I am certain their goal was not to secure my personal undying loyalty. Nevertheless, they have it. Five stars, not just for the sandwiches, but also for the people behind the counter who understand that a sub shop can also be a small engine of decency.

If I closed my eyes the turkey and provolone hero might have come from a deli instead of a conveyor belt sandwich chain. Worst case, they make Subway look and taste like a chaos factory. Best case, in the words of one of DeVito's more illustrious costars, I'll be back! Five surprising stars.
