Jersey Mike's Subs

Jersey Mike's is my favorite sub sandwich place.  Order your sandwich "Mike's Way" and it'll be seasoned with herbs, oil and balsamic vinagrette.  I think it's supposed to be a secret, but that's what it appears to be made of.  I wouldn't have a sandwich here without it, it's just too good to pass up.

My favorite is the turkey and provolone.  The "regular" is still very large, and depending on how hungry you are you could probably save half of it for later.  But I never do, it's just that good!

They also have "mini" subs, which are definitely a satisfying portion.  

Tried the cheese steak today and it was really good!  If you like delicious, oozing cheese, you gotta try it!  I ordered mine without onions, and the peppers gave it enough extra added flavor.  If you like spicy, like giardinera, you'd probably like the chipotle cheesesteack instead.  I felt like mine was missing something when it comes to spice.  But I don't think a cheese steak is supposed to be spicy - never had a "real" Philly cheesesteak!

Prices are on-par with Jimmy John's and Which Wich.  You can easily get a meal here for less than $10.

Service is a little strange.  They are friendly and cool, but I'm not sure if they're supposed to be friendly/smartassy as mandated by management or what.  I wasn't in line yet, and the girl asked me what I wanted.  I said I was still deciding.  She said, "okay I'll be here til 6."  Her tone was joking, but when I ordered my sandwich without onions she yelled, "NUMBER 17! EXTRA EXTRA ONIONS!" It caught me offguard, but I could tell she was joking.  It's a little annoying when I just want to get away from people at work on my lunchbreak - who are also annoying.  I'm not going to take away a star for this though, I think it's part of their "thing."  Although the store in Plainfield isn't like this at all, they are just normal, friendly kids.

Watch out Subway Jersey Mike's is here to stay...

The sub was great plenty of meat and fresh veggies, I was a happy camper if I could have done my happy dance in the line I would have but I didn't want to embarrass my friends!

I can get the foot long and have that for a couple of days the price is so worth the sub that you get!

No this isn't your 5 dollar foot long but what you get is so much better!

I have only been to this location once but I have a friend that works in the area and I always ask them to bring me one when they will be coming my way!

I was also so pleased to find out that there is one closer to me now...Oh yes this is a real sub and I am more than a fan of this place!

Taking away a star for the smart assed staff.  I hope the owner or/or manager reads these reviews.  There's no need for the comments when you order something.  Anyone who ordered a giant yesterday got a 'boy you must be hungry' comment.  I find them simply annoying, there's no need to chat me up when I'm waiting especially when it's just stupid comments.  This is what happens when the whole place is run by teenagers.

The Lombard location has much better staff and when they talk to you they don't comment on your food choices or if you're so hungry.

I also wasn't paying attention when I ordered a few weeks ago as I was busy paying but they jacked up my order and when I got home the only things on my sub were lettuce, onion and tomatoes, she forgot everything on the right side I asked for.  I'll be watching them going forward.

That being said these are my favorite subs if any chain and are worth putting up with the wanna be comedians.
