Jersey Mikes Subs

Awesome subs. One of my favorite places. And their rewards program is top notch. Great place.

This Jersey Mike's Subs opened this summer near the Chase bank on Roosevelt in Glen Ellyn.  A couple of co-workers and I decided to give it a try.  We were cheerfully greeted when we walked in the door and asked if it was our first time there.  They enthusistically explained the menu options.

I ordered the Original Italian which is your standard Italian sub drizzled with olive oil and red wine vinegar.  Jersey Mike's is different than most chain sub shops in that they slice your cold cuts when you order your sandwich.  They bake bread on the premises and while the bread is not as good as a Gonnella or D'Amatos it IS much better than Subway's offerings.   As a matter of fact, Subway isn't even in the same league as JM.  Jersey Mike's has a superior product.

While finishing our meal, the owner stopped by and asked us how we liked our sandwiches and chatted a bit with us.  He gave each of us a coupon for chips & a drink with our next sub order.  I thought that was a neat touch.  Frankly, I would come back even if I didn't have a coupon.  Although JM will need to work hard to top the independent sub purveyors (like Mario's or Serino's) I give them the nod over all of the other sub franchises.  A good solid sub.
