My husband & I absolutely LOVE this location! Their sandwiches are very tasty & fresh; their employees are wonderful, too, especially Nikos! We first started going on their annual charity giving day (sorry I don't know what they call it). But they give all the money earned on that one day to a local charity, not just the proceeds but all their sales! We have always had good food and good service! Can't wait to go back soon! read more

Jersey Mike's Subs - Friendly employees! - Fast Food Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

As mentioned by several other Yelpers, everyone who works here is incredibly friendly and helpful. Like, two separate visits and all four staff were over the top nice. Cancro Special: it's not listed on the board and, if you can't remember the name, you can order a number 12. Provolone, roast beef, and pepperoni. Solid choice. California Chicken Cheese Steak: not a cheesesteak per se but pretty good. Make sure they toast the bread longer Club Supreme: Roast beef, turkey, swiss, applewood smoked bacon and mayo by default. Drop mayo and mustard instead. Wish they had Dijon. Please get better chips. read more

Greeted with friendly faces upon entering the shop. I never felt rushed through the line and the Italian sandwich they made for me was spectacular. Can't wait to go back and try that cheesesteak. i'm in New Jersey native and this was genuine flavors of Home. read more

Pro tip for vegans: pick up some falafel's at falafel of Santa Cruz. They're $.95 apiece. Head right on over to Jersey Mike's. their breads are all vegan already. Order the whole wheat plus cherry relish, banana peppers, jalapeños. Add falafel to sando. they gave my dog some bacon on the house. Very happy bodhi dog now. The staff were very nice and asked how my day was going and what I was up to. I like the conversational proprietors To my amazement, they actually did not charge sales tax, which is actually correct if you were buying a cold sandwich and taking it to go. Even Subway gets that wrong. Service was fast and I had my sandwich in probably two I'm still just blown away that they gave my little Sheba new dog, some bacon complementary like Vegetarians will like this place, but my only complaint is that they don't have any vegan protein options, such as impossible, burger, beyond burger, MorningStar or gardeein. read more

First time at this location. Exactly what I would expect from a Jersey Mike's. My giant 6 and mini 13 were as good as getting it from the Jersey Shore. I should know, I lived there for 45 years. Bella was super friendly and actually cared about the conversation I had with her. She is a top notch employee! Would definitely go back. read more

As an East Coaster, it's always nice to find places that make uniquely East Coast food and do it generally well enough. We popped into this Jersey Mike's looking for something comfortable and quick to eat on the road. The three young men working in the place were all extremely engaging and seemed to like their jobs. Nicos took our order and explained the 5 after 5 special, upwelling us to 2 giant subs. He was great about preparing half for now and half for tomorrow. The guys welcomed our dog into the store, and let us give him a little bit of bacon. The guy who made one of our sandwiches was attentive and really made making a sandwich seem like an art. The sandwiches (original Italian and chicken cheesesteak) were solidly good. read more

Jersey Mike's Subs - Goose @gooseisadogonaboat on IG really enjoyed being welcomed in. - Fast Food Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

It was so salty. My stomach was so upset and so was everyone in my party. They got a sandwich as well it was overly salty. The service was nice. They were very friendly and the only Young was very clean, but the subs were leaving to have less less. read more

This is the local option for sandwiches for me. I like the California Club sub with the turkey, bacon, and guacamole. I also like their cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks. Online ordering is easy and sandwiches are ready in about 15 minutes. read more

Super friendly staff!! Loved our experience here. Every single member of the crew was chatting with us, while continuing to be efficient and remembering all of our order details, including a very special attention to food allergies (GLuten free). Also, on a personal note, I left my purse at the table at the outside patio, called from the car (literally leaving for San Diego) and they ran outside and found the purse and brought it in and saved it safely for me until my return shortly after calling. Amazing customer service. I will forever live life "Mike's Way". read more

Super friendly service! I was thanked by both employees for leaving a tip. Took my sandwich home and it was delicious.

This location has seriously excellent service, we were blown away. As usual the subs were tasty and full of fresh veggies.

9/15/24 - the two young gentlemen could not have been more friendly and extremely polite. This will be a stop for sure. Yummy sandwiches and soft bread. Very clean interior. For a quick bite, this is a sure stop. read more

Service was absolutely slow! Had to wait in line behind 1 person for 5 minutes while 3 employees were working and wait 20 minutes to make my one sandwich. My whole lunch hour wasted waiting for food to go. Crew was pleasant but ridiculously slow! read more

Cooper Cooper Cooper what more can I say! Went in on a whim after leaving UCSC day for my daughter. Been on campus since 7am, we were very hungry after about 5 hours. I was warmly greeted by Cooper who stated "Welcome to Jersey Mikes". Mind you I have never entered a Jersey Mike's before, but it felt like I was visiting an old friend. Cooper took the time to describe the complete menu in full detail, emphasizing how fresh the ingredients are. Being in sales myself I was extremely impressed, if she's not the owner she is definitely on her way to having her own Jersey Mikes. Adding onto the great service, the sandwiches were amazing. My family and I were very impressed. If you're visiting UCSC this year, take the time to visit Cooper at Jersey Mike's, you will not be disappointed! read more

Just went into jersey mikes for the first time ever. First of all the staff was super friendly and nice, they were genuinely excited I had never been there before. They suggested a sandwich which was out of this world. The meat is cut freshly and bread made daily - yes please!!!! Thanks for the awesome first and definitely not the last! read more

Diego is the best! Very hard worker and very good customer service. He deserves a raise! I will be back and the sandwiches are delicious!

Ate recently at Jersey Mikes , the Sandwiches were made fresh , plenty of meat , cheese and Fixings. Maybe took a little longer because everything is cut fresh. Great taste and very large and filling. We were welcomed as we came in and employees took our order and made them , with lots of conversation about how we wanted things on our sandwiches. The shop is rather small but very neat and clean and seating both inside and out. Were are certainly going to go back soon, way better food Service and atmosphere than any others read more

Love this place, love their sammmiches (yes, I know that's misspelled) and the staff rocks! :)

The staff here is super sweet. Someone stole my Doordash order and they remade our sandwiches and let us pick them up shortly after close, going out of their way to help us out. Great people, great sandwiches. read more

I was so excited when I saw that Santa Cruz has had a Jersey Mike's! I love all their sandwiches. Meat sliced to order and all the toppings you could ever want. Now we just need one in Monterey. read more

As far as "Chain Eateries" go, I have found that "Jersey Mike's" is a sandwich shop, that will knock your socks off! Jersey Mike's serves an assortment of different cold or hot subs that are made to order! Their "specialty" sandwiches are their different selections of "Cheese Steak" subs that are made up of fresh cut beef or chicken, grilled up with onions and peppers, with ch melted on top, served on your choice of different homemade rolls. I was blown away by the flavors of these sandwiches and the biggest surprise was the bread! That's right! The roll that my Cheesesteak was made with, had to be one of the best tasting breads I've ever had! I stopped several times, while eating, saying, "Wow! This roll is delicious! Sure, the ingredients of a Cheesesteak sandwich is pretty tasty but when the rolls it's served on are as good as Jersey Mike's, you have to take notice! I've recently been watching different podcasts where different sandwich chains are reviewed and compared and I was surprised (along with the podcast hosts), just how good Jersey Mike's scored! The food reviewers scored Jersey Mike's as "One of the BEST" All sandwiches are m to order, meats are cut fresh for your sandwich. Then, (if you order a hot sandwich), the delicious ingredients are grilled up, before you! I have to agree with the podcasters, when they said that Jersey Mike's is in "a class all their own" and no other chain comes close to just how good Jersey Mike's Is! read more

The guys were amazing. Had a fun time chatting with them. Food was prepped well. Was easy to park at.

Well it finally happened. I had a decent cold sub in California. I grew up in New Jersey, just outside of NYC. Italian subs were just about my favorite food from age 9 to 15 or so. In general, the quality of the Italian-American food in California has been the toughest adjustment to living here. But while pizza, as a national obsession, has some decent imitators around, I honestly hadn't had even a halfway respectable cold sandwich on this coast. Some passable hot subs, sure, but the cold ones? Way off. Without naming names, some of the other sandwich chains around here have no idea what they're doing. I went to Jersey Mike's the day after they opened up. I didn't know what to expect - I'm not sure I've ever seen my so often maligned home state used as a marketing tool before. I was ready to hate it. But I couldn't. Spongy, soft bread? Check. Oil and vinegar? Check. No freakin mayo? Check. Shredded lettuce? Check. Thin sliced meat? Check. Very few times have I ever felt this at home in California. Nothing like food nostalgia. Edit: Also, everyone there was super nicer even though they had a line out the door. I actually don't care about that too much personally. Food service is a tough job, I've been there. And if your food is good enough you can pretty much punch me in the face and I'll still come back. But credit where credit was due, it was a good experience all around. read more

Waited and waited for this place to open. I honestly do not know what all the fuss is about. Tried them twice. Will not go back. The sandwich "meat" is clearly heavily processed and reconstituted into meat cubes. You can see them in the cold case. Ham cube, turkey cube, and so on. The quality of the meat is pretty much like any grocery store low end lunch meat. The sandwiches are not even constructed very well. read more

Costumer service was amazing our cashier was so great to talk to and had a great attitude!!! I loved this location!!!!

What an amazing experience, thank Julian for making me feel welcome and introducing me to the rest of the staff. I appreciate and miss this kind of service read more

I met one of the owners before they opened-nice guy, really want him to succeed, but... Went today, six people working. Everyone was standing around clueless. We ordered three sandwiches with only one person ahead of us. It took almost 20 minutes for our sandwiches to be made by 2 employees. 2 other employees tried to ring up our order and couldn't get the register to work. We ended up just leaving. read more

What a fantastic Jersey Mikes location! The manager and entire staff was friendly and genuinely interested in making my sandwich exactly to my liking . They knew their regular customers by name, as well as exactly which sandwich they like. Really a nice experience . read more

It's tough running a fast food business these days, hard to find good people who are willing to work. A lot of places are suffering with bad service and poor operations. This place really stands out. My online orders are done right, down to the topping, every time. The sandwiches are always ready quickly and when promised. I see the manager there on almost every visit. Team members greet you and give you fast friendly service consistently. And the sandwiches are excellent. I'm impressed with this place. read more
