Jersey Mike's Subs

My follow-up review for this restaurant. Read my previous review for this restaurant here

Forget about the hot subs at Jersey Mike’s. Don’t go there. Get yourself a nice, Giant-sized cold sub, done up the Mike’s way. That red wine vinegar invades every crevice of your freshly baked bun, making magic in your merry mouth.

Today the restaurant was packed packed packed. The staff was firing on all cylinders, and the fountain drinks were a-flowing. This is how you should be able to enjoy a submarine sandwich.

After reading so much concerning the hot subs here, I decided I had to try one for myself. I ordered the #56, the “Big Kahuna Cheese Steak” and let me tell you what! It WAS a Big Kahuna Cheese Steak!!!

I stood there at the counter, talking to one of the girls while the other one made my Sub. I had ordered the Sub with out jalapeños as I preferred to have it the way a Philly Cheese Steak was originally made.

As she placed the meat on the grill I was shocked as I had expected generic Steak’ums based on the reviews I had read before. The meat that was used was no where near to Steak’um mediocrity but actual marbled steak. Sweet!!!

Onions and Peppers, Steak and Fresh sliced provolone combined on the grill to create a tantalizing aroma that had my mouth watering while I waited. The girl on the grill chopped and diced the meat and cheese better than a Chef at Benihana’s! She piled the fixings onto a sliced roll of fresh baked bread, wrapped it in tinfoil, grabbed a bag and popped it open on the counter, slid the sandwich int o the bag and gave it to me with a bright smile.

I’m telling you what, I love the service at this place. I think next time I’ll try one of their Sub’s in a Tub.

A clean deli atmosphere here. The gals running the counter were very friendly and had lots of suggestions for what they liked. Maybe a bit aggressive; I like to peruse the menu and decide for myself. I can ask for help or suggestions if I want them. At least they seemed happy. Happy employees is part of the equation for a quality meal.

The pepsi fountain was out of commission, and they didn’t do much to aleviate that problem. We’ll discount you on a 2-litre pepsi? Nope, I just went with water.

I appreciated the 2 tv’s with different channels going. They weren’t loud and obnoxious and there was a decent rock radio station on.

Besides my italian, I was able to have a piece of a Famous Philly that Josh shared. I’ve been to Philadelphia and had the best cheesteaks ever at Geno’s: http://www.genosteaks.com/home1.html

Let’s just say that the cheesesteak here was a serious afront to true philly cheesesteaks. Mike’s- Leave the cheesesteaks to the pro’s!
