Jersey Mike’s Subs

Jersey Mikes is my favorite sub chain hands down. Meat and cheese slices to order and getting it Mikes way is the way to go. My favorite is the Italian. Location here is great for students but parking is always an issue around high st. so watch out for that.

Have you ever been on a long drive on a toll road? If so, you’ve probably had to eat at one of those food courts that are joined with a gas station and by the side of the highway. The main reason anybody goes to those places is that you don’t have to go through the toll on your way off the highway and then again to get back on. These places have a captive audience. They don’t need to be good. You probably won’t complain about what you’ve eaten there, but you won’t be happy about it either and they’ll overcharge you slightly. This place is like that, but instead of being by a highway, it’s by campus.
I came here from campus to get lunch. The staff was friendly and I got the Buffalo Chicken sandwich, as recommended by the guy who makes the sandwiches.
It tasted decent. The veggies weren’t too fresh, the bread was very basic, and the sauce and chicken weren’t anything to write home about. The sandwich did seem to have real bleu cheese in it, which I was happy about. That and the fact that they actually fry their meat (rather than heat it), I really liked. They played what sounded like a classic rock station, which I don’t mind, but they played it more loudly than I would have preferred while eating my sandwich.
In the future, I’ll probably just go to Subway instead. Cheaper and also passable food and you can put more veggies on it. But if you hate subway for some reason, this place is worth a shot.

It is in the former W.G. Grinders Sub Shop. I have had Jersey Mike’s in Clintonville and Lane Avenue in Upper Arlington. Great Subs and I will go back there again.
