Jersey Mike’s

Hubby and I dined in last night at Jersey Mike’s. Neither one of us had ever been to one, so I can’t compare it to past experience. First impression was how clean it was! The staff greeted us immediately and we took our time picking the right sandwich. We got a hot Philly Cheesesteak and a hot Chicken Bacon Ranch. Wow, the size of the regular is BIG and loaded. Reminded me of Parkway Tavern in NOLA when you order a shrimp po-​boy and they put so much on the bread that the shrimp cascade out of the sandwich!
Best advice is to make sure you are hungry before you try this one out! Sandwiches tasted fine!
We will go again.

So Jersey Mikes is a fairly new sub shop here in Mobile. I have been there a few times since they opened. Their menu is somewhat like Lenny’s in that they off cold and hot subs, Philly cheesesteaks being an option as well. The veggies seem fresh, as well as the cold cuts. The bread also has a pretty good tastes as well. For around $ 10 you can get a regular 8in sub w/​chips. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either.
The place would be so much better though if they could just work on their staff. The very first time I went in there, 2 high school age girls were helping me, both of which looked like that was the last place they wanted to be. After asking us what we wanted and sounding completely annoyed when doing so, we finally got out sandwiches and went on our way. The sandwiches themselves tastes decent, so I just brushed off the lack of customer service.
But just the other day my husband and I went in yet again, both getting the same Club Subs (ham, turkey, bacon and provolone). After getting our food and driving off, I noticed they forgot to put bacon on mine, so we went back to ask if that could be added, even willing to pay for the bacon if it came down to it. Yet again, the employees were completely annoyed with our request (even though it was their mistake), so much as asking my husband to stand in line and open his sub to PROVE that he wasn’t lying, only to eventually be handed 2 slices of bacon. If there is anything I have learned in customer service over the years, it is that the customer is always right. Just try to make your customers happy. I’m not sure if this location has had a problem with people «stealing» bacon, but we were both taught integrity and were only simply asking because that is what we ordered.
So moral of the story… I will keep going to Lenny’s and Newks. We always always get a warm hello and welcome, and plenty of smiles. It’s the little things that really make a business successful.

Okay, first time there I got the Chicken Parm in a giant size. It was okay, my daughter liked it more than me. Today I went there and ordered a giant #13 for myself and a regular Chicken Parm for her. I get home and so much vining at and oil was used it was soggy like a dog pissed on the bread. As for my daughter’s, it ended up being a meatball sub. It would be decent food if the morons working there cared at all what they were making their customers. One top of that the website has no contact information if you even wanted to complain. Way to go Jersey Mike!

I saw that this was a new sub shop in town and decided to give it a try. I ordered the club sub and the beef philly cheese steak online. Online ordering process was smooth. When I got there my order was ready, just had to no less than a minute to pay. While there I saw one of the sub-​makers drowning a sub with the oil and vinegar. I was thinking in my mind «I hope she didn’t make my sub.» Got home and my club sub seemed like it had a whole bottle of oil/​vinger on it. Sub was so wet and oily I could not eat or hold the sub. My wife enjoyed the philly steak sub. I’ll give this place another try since I know it just opened. Hope my experience is better next time.

I’ve been to Jersey Mike’s a lot in other states but now Mobile finally gets one. I’m a vegetarian so I only order the veggie sub and it’s as good here in Mobile as it is any where else if not better. Subway is boring and bland, Firehouse is not an option and Jimmy Johns is just nasty and poorly made, just because it’s fast doesn’t mean its good. All it means is you just got a bad sub REAL QUICK. All the places I’ve just named can all take notes on cleanliness from Jersey Mike’s. The place is clean, good and it just light years beyond other sandwich/​sub shops in the area.
The only place I will order my veggie from now on is Jersey Mike’s, it was made literally perfect. The girl who made it should be lead or manager or something because she nailed it. I will be back
