Editorial Review for Jersey Mike's Subs – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
There are bus station waiting rooms with more flair than the generic, almost antiseptic, furnishings of this nationally franchised sandwich shop: Counter. Chairs, tables. A chip rack. A couple of TVs suspended in the corners. And that's that. Forget about decor: It's pretty much all about the sandwiches at Jersey Mike's and that's OK, because they're generally first-rate.
The Food
The gimmick here is that each sub is freshly prepared. Fresh as in the meats and cheeses for your individual sandwich are machine-sliced from huge hunks right before your eyes. The downside of that, of course, is that it's not as quick as Subway's assembly-line approach. The offerings are heartier and heftier than Subway's (and proportionately a tad more expensive). A giant Jersey Mike's original--provolone, ham, salami, pepperoni, proscuttini and cappacuolo--is a serious undertaking.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasSubs too spicy for the young 'uns? There's peanut butter and jelly available.

I have been a fan of Jersey Mike's since my college days in North Carolina. So imagine my surprise when one opened up right down the street. It was the closest any sandwich shop has come to replicating the New England Grinder. Also the Cheesesteaks are uncomparable to any other since it is one of the BEST I have ever had. This place is hands down the best sandwich shop in town.
