This place is bad ass. I avoided it for so long thinking it was just another Subways/Togos/Quizno's, but it's not - it's so much better. They slice the deli meat right in front of you and pile the toppings high on delicious italian bread. Meat quality is excellent and the sandwiches taste great. Employee's at this location are also very cool and friendly. Oh, they sell Tastycakes too!! read more

I come to this orange location often and it's so delicious! Nice staff as well which to me is most important. I have gone in to order in person where they assembled my meals in front of me (wait times have varied in those instances since it's a popular place). The ingredients are always super fresh! I tend to place to-go orders for pick up over the phone and prefer it that way. My favorites are Italian Sub-In-a-tub (Mike's Way), Traditional Italian Sub, as well as the Turkey Sub. I don't eat bread, so I am the one who gets the "tubs" most often and let me tell you, they're so delicious i don't even feel like I'm missing out on bread. My family tends to get the traditional subs and they rave about how good n fresh the bread is as well. No clue how the ingredients just taste ten times better when they make it (VS if I tried to make the sandwich at home). I like placing orders with them due to the yummy fresh quality and convenience they offer. Only negative comment is I'm not a fan of Pepsi and those are the soft drinks they offer via fountain drinks. Always a clean place every time I've stopped in. I'd recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Horrible !!!! An employee came out of the back with container of shredded lettuce and a huge jar of mayonnaise sitting directly on fresh lettuce. When I complained the "manager " yelled at me and said, "what are we supposed to do? Throw it out?" If u have to ask then u have a problem. I reported to corporate who never replied, apparently no one gives a hoot! read more

Wandered in with a coworker for lunch one day. It's a small little subway shop located in a strip mall, but aside from nicely sliced deli meat in front of you, there seems to be a lot of fatty options here. I tried a wrap, which I thought and hoped would be lower cal, but it wasn't and it felt heavy in my stomach. I did enjoy the jalapenos though. Overall, meh. I'd sooner eat at Subway I think because they seem to have more options for low cal stuff. read more

Ordered a couple sandwiches to share from here. I did not like that the turkey sub lacked meat and was more lettuce and oil than meat. The turkey was so minimal on this sandwich. I mean for the price they're charging, there really should be a lot more meat. The quality of the turkey tasted and looked good and fresh, but the amount was very disappointing. The Italian was better and included more meat. I had a few bites and it had good flavor and less oil than the turkey. The seasonings were good. For the price though, I'm not sure it's worth it. $12 bucks for a giant footlong. Subway and Quiznos are closer to my house and both are less expensive. read more

I told them no peppers on my philli cheese steak sub and they can't follow simple procedures. I regret giving them a tip for that error and for not saying a simple thank you for my tip. I look forward to hearing college funds, I like helping the youth succeed. This experience was awful. read more

This is literally the worst Jersey mikes I've been to. First of all the woman who answered the phone was SUPER rude! She acted like I was bothering her by placing an order and wanted to get it over with. Secondly, this is the THIRD time that I've called in an order and came to the store 20 minutes later to get my order and they tell me they don't have it and then they double check and say "oh sorry, it was just sitting here, nobody told us." As someone that has personally worked in fast food and the restaurant industry, HOW DO YOU TAKE AN ORDER AND NOT TELL ANYONE TO MAKE IT?! That's literally your JOB! Only giving it two stars because the food is good. I love literally next door to this one but I'd rather drive 15 minutes to another one. read more

You know I really don't like to leave 5 STAR reviews but it is really warranted in this case. It is unusual to find a restaurant that has great food, great service and super friendly staff (ala the Nordstroms business model). I typically dine at Jersey Mike's with my certified Therapy Dog "Twinkie" 2-4 times a months and no matter who's on shift (Katella Store), everyone is very friendly and inviting....every time. I'm a bit of a food snob and hold a very high standard for "Authentic Original Italian Subs" I've been spoiled by growing up eating subs from small Italian mom & pop neighborhood stores in L.A. but Jersey Mike's has really become the benchmark for all others to measure up to. Yes, JM is slightly costs more than other sandwich chains but you get MORE than you pay for both in quality and "taste"! read more

Ohmygosh soooooo friendly!!! And the subs are so delicious. I feel like i'm eating from the east coast! Enjoyed my free birthday sub and sweet tea :) Got the original Italian on white and it hit the spot ;) read more

For the past couple of months I've been ordering take out online because of obvious reasons. But if you order a sandwich online from this location please expect the sandwich makers to make their way or put items on it that weren't ask for. Not sure if they don't read the customer's request or just don't care. Good luck to you but I'm driving 10 minutes out of my way to order from a different location. read more

Challenge accepted, achievement unlocked! I asked the awesome gal to put "as many pickles as you can fit" onto my sandwich and she said, "are you sure? I can fit a lot!" She was not kidding! I looked over after a moment and had to stop her! Great customer service by all the employees here, great attitude and funny personalities. read more

They have the best sandwiches in town, all fresh ingredients. The staff are very nice and welcoming especially that one girl I think her name was Isabelle, though she is married so I wouldn't hit on her too much. Overall very happy with their food and service read more

I love Jersey Mikes! My favorite sandwich is the number 13 Mike's way (Large) on Italian bread. It's fresh sliced cold cuts with fresh sliced veggies. Their restaurant is always clean and the employees are always friendly!! read more

The employee that was there needs to be properly trained about changing gloves after cleaning equipment and handling cash transactions. I will never eat there again until this disgusting habit is fixed. read more

I appreciate the service at this JM's location. Rainer is especially awesome, making beautiful sandwiches and remembering requests and orders every time. read more

Wow this place used to be a drive in movie theater way back when before the Pond was built down the street, before I-pods and tweeting and before drive in' movies became extinct. But now its just another shopping center. Good backseat memories buried under the asphalt. Oops I'm trippin' down memory lane again, sorry........ This was my second time having Jersey Mikes Subs. Both times have been at this location. Wish I would have found out about the sub club deal before the first time or my lunch would have been free. Check out the JM Sub's web site. App. This time I got 2 different subs. The #2 Jersey Shore (Provolone, ham and cappacuolo) and the #13 Original Italian (Provolone, ham, proscuittini, cappacuolo, salami and pepperoni). I had them both made Mike's way with onions, tomatoes, lettuce, spices (?), olive oil and red wine vinegar. Both sammy's were very similar but I liked the #13 better. I think the salami, peperoni and red wine vinegar set the cappacuolo off letting that Italian spiced ham shine. The bread was crunchy outside, soft inside and made a nice nest for the decent sized pile of meat and veggies. The olive oil and red wine vinegar added a nice sweet and pungent overlay. Pretty good sammys here. Seemed like much more meat than Subway or Quiznos. and the flavor was up a notch too. It costs a bit more but you get more too. The restaurant was clean and had ample seating. The service was good and they all had a smile and were friendly too. Plenty of parking. Plus +++ the owner is big on giving back to good causes. Check out web site. Cool! While this is not a must go to place when you need a sammy fix, it is a great drop in choice if you are in the area. I've had better and have had much worse, but I'd say give them a try. You'll like it Mike's way. I'll be back. read more

Jerseys is our family go to sandwich spot. It is definitely better than Subway. The sandwich meat and cheese is fresh and deli sliced as you order. I love how they have the mini size because it is perfect size for me. I am not a fan of Mike's Way because of the oregano and onions but I still prep me a good sandwich. The customer service here is always great and they know us by now. They have a jersey points card so every now and then we are getting free food. read more

When I have a less-than-stellar experience at a business, i tend to give them a second chance before writing a review. i came here twice, now it is time for that review. The place itself looks very nice and clean. Also, they have their own huge blocks of deli with their own slicer so that's very very appetizing! You're thinking, "Oh my! So fresh!" Anyhow, not all that memorable and tasty! We've tried the turkey, ham, chick, hot, cold, etc. The taste is pretty average and if you don't eat the subs right then and there, the lettuce, tomato, and other veggies will get all soggy. It's gotta be because of the way they are chopped very small! I daresay, Subway is way better than Mikes! read more

We don't come here to order sandwiches you can buy at a deli, but for the Philly Cheesesteaks they are well known for. Sure they are no Geno's or Pat's, but this ain't the streets of Philly where the kids across the street are playing basketball in wifebeaters in negative -5 degree F temperatures (yes this is what was happening in Philly las time I was there!). So we're at a strip mall in generic-generic Orange, right by the CVS and biblical figurine shop and so I rate according to the environment..... and of course overall taste and service. The guys here are great and we've always experienced nothing but smiles and quick service. We don't come during the rush so wouldn't know about that... The meat is always cooked through, the rolls are fresh and tasty, and the cheese is always gooey and melted just right. Unless the place takes a major turn for the worse or ups their prices, I will definitely be back. The giant here puts me sleep, so I may have to downsize. Again, if you're complaining about deli sandwiches being made poorly here, give their cheesesteaks a try... if you don't like cheesesteaks, then you might as well get your ass to Ruby's Sandwich Saloon (cash only) in Costa Mesa and have a regular sandwich and STFU please. Again, I don't buy chips or sides or anything they aren't well known for here. Maybe I'll try the Italian Mike's Way next time, but primarily they fulfill a cheesesteak craving. I'm good with that... thanks Mike :] read more

I would have to give this place a 3 1/2 star. Fresh ingredients - they literally carve the deli meat as you place your order. Service was fast and friendly. I tried the Turkey provolone and also the buffalo chicken wrap. Both were quite delicious. My only complaint is the price. $10 for half a sammy and a bottle of water. Good food, fresh ingredients, higher prices. read more

Having lived on White House's philly cheese steaks (the creme de la creme of philly steak sandwiches) on the east coast - I initially had low expectations for this place. But surprisingly, Mike's original sub came out really tasty. It tastes exactly like the philly sandwiches I would get at the local sub shop during my summers on the Atlantic City boardwalk. So as far as authenticity goes, it tastes about right. The staff has always been courteous every time I made a visit, and usually I come in at non-peak hours so there wasn't an issue with the wait. I sometimes wished they had fries on the menu, but it does save me from gaining a muffin top. Also, Subway's steak sandwiches tastes like soggy cardboard. read more

This place is one step up from Subway. I love deli, especially fresh sliced meats and cheeses so this place was on my Bookmark list to check out and I will be back but with some precaution. FYI, If you want a five star sandi. close to this place, check out my review of Cortina's on Betavia. I ordered a #9 Club Supreme "Mike's Way" but made the mistake of asking for no roast beef. Even though the guy seemed to indicate this was not a problem he started slicing the turkey and then came the roast beef. I said, "I didn't want roast beef" but it was too late so I told him it was fine but then he tried to fix it anyhow by taking the sandwich off the scale and removing the beef. Now I wouldn't have minded so much but to do this he puts my sandwich right on the counter, not on paper, not on the sterile cutting board but right on the counter. Then, instead of watching him toss the beef in the trash I asked to put it on the side. Now a second guy comes in and confuses things even more. He popped that beef into a separate container with a plastic lid; what a waste of a container. Then the guy cutting the meat cuts one more layer of turkey, slaps it on the sandwich and calls it good without weighing it. If I was opposed to red meat this would have made my rating one star. While waiting for them to fix my sandwich I asked if they had dry salami. The meat cutter says we have hard salami. So I look in the case and sure enough they have salami. Whether it was hard or not I could not tell you but I know it wasn't dry salami. So the new guy grabs the sandi. and has to ask me all the questions again about what I want. So I tell him Mike's Way with no oil. He puts the lettuce on and then dumps a ton of oil on the sandi. I say, "I didn't want oil" so he grudgingly, not apologetically, as one would expect, takes the lettuce off and dumps it in the trash below him. The grease slick on my fat free turkey was so thick I could see it from the other side of the counter. Then he takes his glove laden hand and swipes it across the turkey and while pressing down on it, like a squeegee, removes the excess oil. Yuck! So I say, in a laughing tone but with some seriousness, "I guess its time to start over". He doesn't even bother to acknowledge his mistake or apologize. In the end I got what I ordered and what I wanted and the sandwich was fresh and tasty but the kids who work behind the counter have no idea what they are serving or how to serve it. Oh, the bacon tasted like the smoke injected super nitrate precooked crap they sell in supermarkets to take camping. Pass on it and you'll get a better sandi, here. Oh, Oh, Read this only if you are gluten free... beware of the Gluten Free "Sub in a Tub". They exclude meatball and chicken parm. but I see on the ingredients list, which is on their website, that the Turkey includes Turkey Broth and as you may or may not know, many times Broths have products in them which contain gluten. Also, they list all their dressings as having no wheat or gluten and I really find that hard to believe since most dressings are not gluten free. The Italian specifically says it has Vinegar in it so unless it is only wine vinegar it is not gluten free. Meh! read more

I have a serious problem with JM's. I didn't even know I liked sandwiches until I started eating Jaime's wicked wiches (http://www.yelp.com/biz/wicked-wiches-fountain-valley-2) Now I all of a sudden have a full blown submarine addiction. I havent been like this since I was a kid and would get on food jags, like grilled cheese every day for months straight or oatmeal or chicken ceasar salads. Its crazy- I almost became irate today when I saw they were out of sea salt and vinegar chips. Seriously deranged about JM's. The meat isnt the best quality but the fresh slicing makes such a huge difference, I really think that is the key. The produce and toppings are so much fresher than any subway type place. The tomatoes, onions and lettuce are all very ripe. I think about the bread alone by myself, it has this corn meal stuff stuck on the bottom and it just makes the texture and flavor so yummy.... Service has always been great. Prices much better value if you get the giant and split with someone... read more

This review is only for this location and not all locations. I ordered online got there at the specified time--20 minuets after I placed the order. When we got there they hadn't even started my order ...strike 1 After waiting 10 minutes (a total of 30 minutes for our food) they gave us our bag, the girl read our order (which they got wrong) to us and we said that order was incorrect ...strike 2 Now we have to wait another 10-15 minutes (now totaling our wait to 40-45 minutes) we finally get our bag, go home, and they made the chipotle cheesesteak with barley any cheese in it ...strike 3 I will no longer be going to this location (which is the closest to my house) They need better training or something. read more

Worst sandwich I've ever had the toppings didn't look so hot and I think the mayonnaise was bad I hope I don't get sick

I've enjoyed it for years, but the last two times the volume of meat to bread ratio has dropped. Today's Giant sandwich at $17 had several whole bites at the end with no meat. Remember the old Wendy's commercials: "Where's the Beef?" Super flavorful, great staff. Just realign the scales, or reduce the bread size. read more

So I have been here a bunch if times, and lately it's just been okay. Tonight I went and got a few sandwiches to go. I ordered the roast beef and provolone and got my wife the steak sandwich. Now the service was still friendly, and the place was still clean, but the sandwiches were not up to par at all. Look at some of the photos from earlier reviews, thick layers of meat, and hanging out the side of the bread. Then look at the two pictures submitted with this review, I feel like my roast beef was a breadwich with some meat in it. As I said I got them to go so did not notice until I got home. I this is the new norm, I won't be spending $8 a sandwich for this. I don't know if I'll be back either, wasn't my favorite sandwich place, but was still good. read more

Jersey Mike's Subs - Where's the beef - Sandwiches Near Me - Orange, California

Had my second Jersey Mike's experience today, and it will likely be my last. Both times I have been in there the wait has been ridiculously long. The system they have worked up for building the sandwiches is a total cluster. The employees are taking orders for people at the back of the line when they can't keep up with what they have in front of them, this ends up leaving the poor sandwich builders at the front confused on which sandwich belongs to who. Frustrating when you have just waited 20 min. for a turkey sandwich and they take 10 more min to figure out which one is yours. The last time I had the #7 (turkey and prov) it had too much oil, so today I opted for no oil and instead asked the server to put just a bit of mustard on it. The sandwich ends up with what seems like a gallon of mustard on it, leaving it almost inedible. The ingredients look fresh and tasty, they just seem to have a hard time getting it all together. read more

Jersey Mike's Subs - Thank you jersey mikes - Sandwiches Near Me - Orange, California

Jersey Mike's use to be my favorites sandwich shop but not anymore. Be observant when the employees are making your sandwich.

We will never go back there. read more

Manager here really nice... sandwich delicious.. #13 is the best... thanks Jersey Mike team for being extra nice.. food always taste better when u have excellent service.. read more

Went here for lunch today. The workers (kids, really) seemed basically confused. I had to say the same exact thing three times to three different people. They need a new system for sure. I thought the kids just needed better training, but then I saw the manager talking all loud and being friends with some guy who walked in. He wasn't paying attention at all. So, that's why the kids don't know what they're doing. "Is this your #17?" How the hell should I know? Weird. The sandwiches were fine, but it's too much trouble to get the food. read more

I've always enjoyed Jersey Mike's 'No. 13' from the very start. And my most recent visit at the Tuskatella Center location in Orange (1545 East Katella Avenue) confirmed it's the best sandwich I have ever had, especially when it's made by Janel. Janel has taken instructions well; evenly placed cheese & meats, correctly portioned amount of lettuce, and the middle sliced tomatoes (not the ends). Add to that the right amount of oil, balsamic vinegar, Janel's genuine smile, and knowledge of the company makes Jersey Mike's 'No. 13' the best sandwich ever (by Janel). read more

I luv there sandwich. I reading the prior reviews, well, they left out they put in so much meat and other items that the sandwich is much bigger. They also left out that it was plain. well, if you don't have any of the other treatments like the "mike's special", then it will! The combination of oils and special vinegars make these sandwiches the ultimate in sub sandwiches. Remember, if they ask if you want the "Mike's special"...say yes! read more

I ordered on the mobile app because I've been busy studying all day and didn't feel like cooking. I used my mobile app to order a California Club and requested that the mayo and mustard be put on the bread and then the two halves "smooshed" together before the toppings. CLEARLY this was hard for them - when I got home and bit into the sandwich a huge glob of mustard shot out the back end....I could literally taste nothing but mustard - couldn't see any avocado, but with all the mustard who could tell. I did notice that there was hardly any turkey on the sandwich at all. I called to speak with the manager and said he put "one line of mustard on one side and one line of mayo on the other" Sorry, dude, if that were true, the sandwich would be dry instead of slip, sliding away with every bite. It is absolutely the most disgusting "sandwich" I've ever gotten and I've eaten at Jersey Mike's in La Habra, the one on Chapman by Main Place, Brea, as well as this one and have NEVER had any issues with a sandwich. I guess they figure they can do anything they want with a mobile order because you won't realize how bad it is until you get it home. The indifference by the manager who returned my call (after he apparently got out of the bathroom) is what prompted this review. He said he would have the store manager call me tomorrow. I can't wait for him to see the mustard/mayo SOAKED napkins (Plural) that I had to scrape off the sandwich before I could even take a second bite. read more

The best part about my meal that I had here was the bag of chips. The second best part was the Diet Pepsi. Nothing else was good and it's pretty freakin' sad that the only good parts of the whole experience was from companies other than Jersey Mikes. I'm not going back unless I was getting paid to. read more

I've tried this place twice.... the ordering and sandwich making process at this place is a giant cluster f*ck! Since some sandwiches are cold and some are cooked, the whole thing is a joke. Especially when you have dumb ass employees who care more about talking to their friends (who are sitting across at a table) than helping customers. Then one employee was texting in the middle of making a sandwich and the other girl was talking shit to her friends at the table about the other girl employee making sandwiches next to her. NOT to mention this sandwiches are way too expensive............. $18 for a regular size Philly and a regular size veggie sandwich and 1 drink! My Philly sandwich was tasty. I'm just not sure it is worth the money or the frustration! read more

I didn't know Jersey Mikes existed until I went for a fundraiser back in February. Little did I know that their unique sandwich preparation would start calling back to me in the middle of August. So, I headed out tonight to grab a sandwich, and I'm truly glad I did! The true gem behind this restaurant is their special combo of goodies they use to dress up your sandwich. Lettuce, onion, and tomato are the usual at any sandwich shop, but it's their heavy douse of tangy red wine vinegar and their oil that start off their great concoction. These make a perfect sticky bed for their generous shakings of their spices on top. This blend really makes the sandwich untraditional and exceptionally yummy! I don't think I would think this place was worth going to if you're not going to douse up your sub this way. It's nice to see that they slice the meat to order, but unfortunately their bread is sub par. I got the mini loaf and it was a lot of bread for such a small sandwich! I think their normal sized rolls are less dense. Regardless, the bread was crispy on the outside, but could have been a little less dry on the inside. As for the service, the woman who helped me was very patient and accommodating for all the changes I made. I asked for no provolone on my sandwich, so she offered me a different type of cheese instead, added extra lettuce when I asked, etc. If the sandwiches were cheaper, they'd definitely have 5 stars from me. I know I'll be back paying the price whether I like it or not, because Mike's Way has got me hooked. read more

I was visiting my boyfriend during his lunch break and we decided to grab lunch here since it was close by. It's like Subway except their vegetables are more fresh. What I liked about the place is that they slice their meat fresh. That was really neat. I ordered the Club Sub "Mike's Way" and my boyfriend got some sort of hot sandwich but I can't tell you what it was. My sandwich tasted like just a normal club sandwich. It was good but nothing special. I took a few bites of my boyfriend's sandwich and his was good also but once again nothing you couldn't get anywhere else. Anyways, I think I would rather go to Subway since this place was actually a bit pricey. 3/5 read more
