I've always hated Jersey Mikes. I had really bad experiences with them when I lived in North Carolina (hard, old bread, nasty sour meat, cold chicken on my chicken parm sub...) and swore I'd never go back. Today, my husband was craving a sub and naturally he wanted the Jersey Shore Favorite from Jersey Mikes. Ahh the things we do for love. So I went, not willingly, but I was glad we did in the end. This specific location was pretty good and definitely changed my outlook on the Jersey Mikes franchise....at least the ones in Illinois. The two young men that worked behind the counter were so nice and made small talk with us as we waited for our subs. I ordered the regular chicken parm sub on white for $6.75 and my husband ordered the Jersey Shore Favorite (he's originally from the Jersey Shore so go figure). He swears up and down there's not a place around that makes this sub like Jersey Mikes does. Not sure how much his sub was but between the two of us for the sandwiches, one chip, and two drinks our total came to $18.00. Meh. We didn't have to wait long for our food which was great. I was a little disappointed by the iced tea and raspberry iced tea because neither was sweetened and they tasted foul. The soda machine had a poor selection too...pepsi, diet pepsi, root beer, lemonade....bleh. I hate pepsi products. They need that awesome soda machine that all chains have nowadays with the different flavored syrups you can put in your sodas. But anyways...My sub was just OK. There was about two inches of it that didnt have any chicken on it, so it was just a mouthful of cheese, bread, and marinara. Two inches is a lot if you think about it and I had only ordered a regular which isnt that big. I was also disappointed by the lack of marinara. It was dry. Why are you being stingey with the sauce, Mike? Hot marinara and cheese should be oozing out of that thing. My husband's sandwich was really, really good! The bread was soft and perfect, the meat and the ingredients were fresh, and they put the perfect amount of oil, vinegar, and seasoning. I definitely know what to order next time. I know three stars doesn't seem that great but originally I would have given Jersey Mikes zero stars if possible. They've come a long way. The customer service was amazing at this location, the store was clean and well organized, and the jersey shore fav was delish. BUT they still need some serious work on their chicken parm sub and soda machine.

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!

I ordered on the phone and it was ready to go by the time I got there. I was greeted by friendly staff. I got the regular size chipotle cheesesteak on wheat bread. It was good, nice and cheesy!

Has anyone ever walked into a Jersey Mike's and NOT received great service? This place sure knows how to hire. And when I say "this place" let me clarify: I mean this "chain." I've been to multiple locations and the quality, consistency and customer service are always on-par. To boot, the sizes of sandwiches are perfect. Don't get me wrong, I love the taste/quality of Jimmy John's, but the ability to order smaller sandwiches is KEY at Jersey Mike's. This is a prime location, but they're always quick to prepare your order!

The cheese steak is epic. Especially the froo-froo amped up one. Somewhat arbitrarily listed as #56 or something on the menu if I recall. Everything seems very fresh and the sandwiches are nicely complemented by "The Juice" which is, as far as I can tell, a vinegar and oil blend. I prefer this place to MeatHeads next door, and our family has been back twice for a total of 3 visits. Soup is good too!

$10 for a mediocre Philly, chips and a drink. No thank you.

Typical subs place. Pretty good selection. Definitely a nice touch that they slice the deli meat and cheese right in front of you! You can get the subs "mike's way" which is basically everything on it with red wine vinegar and olive oil etc. I kinda thought the red wine vinegar was a little too much. It was splashing everywhere, and I kinda felt bad for the worker who had to do that. Later, it makes for a slightly soggy sandwich. Hm so we tried the Italian (yum), chipotle steak (kinda too sweet), and chipotle turkey (yum). I think overall it was okay, but nothing mind blowing. BTW the giant size is basically two servings of the regular. Anyway, it was honestly a slightly stressful atmosphere with workers running around and yelling things, but it's SO MUCH FASTER than quizno's!! I admire efficiency (I heart america) That being said, I think I'm still a toasted sandwich girl and will have to stick with my potbelly's and quizno's.

Mandy J.
Talk about a tasty sub! This is it. And yes have it Mikes Way with the splashy thing and bacon, bacon, bacon! I am a huge fan and will be back again and again. Very good. One downside is the portion size for what you pay. But seriously YUM!

Jersey Mike, where have you been! Yesterday I had seriously one of the best sub sandwiches ever. Trumps Quizno's and Subway, hands down. Even Jimmy John's and Potbelly are second to Jersey Mikes in my world! It's a quick-service sandwich place, and they make the sandwiches right in front of you, a la Subway. If you want their select suite of condiments, you just order it Mike's Way and move on(instead of picking and choosing). Or you can pick and choose. What's the best is they actually slice the meat and cheese for your sandwich AS YOU ORDER IT. You get a very fresh deli sandwich on (excellent) bread that you can watch them take out of the oven a short time before. I can't wait to go back and try one of their other sandwiches - maybe work my way though the menu through the course of the summer. I do wish they offered cookies or something, and maybe they do and I just missed them. It's a fun environment, too. The folks making your sandwiches are people that are obviously happy to be there, and seem genuinely interested in making sure you get the sandwich you want and have a positive experience. I was so happy to see this place very busy at lunch time - good luck to Jersey Mike's in Chicagoland, and you've just got to go and try it out!

I thought their subs were good but I'm still a BIG fan of jimmy johns and potbellies more than jersey mikes. They do give you a big portion in terms of the size of the sub (if you get a large) and the ingredients are fresh. The price is about $6 for just the sub with drink probably around $8. However, I ordered a reuben sandwich and thought that the meat was too salty for my taste.

Watchout Subway and good bye to Jimmy Johns, we have a new champion! After eating here, I will not be stepping foot in any chain sandwich place for a while. Great food, great prices, great service, great speed. I highly reccomend it!

Ray K.
The only thing that could improve Jersey Mike's is if there were more locations! Seriously good food. These are the best subs you will ever have - the colds done Mike's Way are great - but the Philly CheeseSteak? Look out! I go for a #41 - you won't be disappointed, it's a combo of the Big Cahuna and the Philly CheeseSteak...YUMMY! I love how all of the meats are carved to order! A fun, happening, delicious place!
(5)
C B.
These are some good subs! In fact, they have the best I have ever eaten. They cost more than Subway, but they have really good coupons once in awhile. Although I like the cherry pepper sauce the quality of the meats and cheeses means the sandwiches don't require much sauce.

Adam W.
i like Jersey Mike's...their sandwiches are really good...and they are HUGE. The philly sandwich is where it's at, since that is like the best sandwich period...so try that out. Over all, trust what everyone else says...cuz its all true stuff.

Best sub around whenever you order an Italian mikes way it is the same every time great food a little pricy but worth it this place is A++

Pretty damn good cheese-steak if you ask me (although I feel bad having one w/ the hawks battling the flyers for the cup). While Philly's Best has set the standard for a cheese-steak to me this comes pretty damn close w/out the long and chaotic drive to Lakeview. The steak was good and fresh off of the grill (none of that microwaved subway crap) and the bread tasted like a Gonnella or Turano roll, again none of that generic subway stuff. The cheese, caramelized onion, and the slightly pickled green peppers made the sandwich amazing. The service was also fairly quick and the shop was nice and clean. I would definitely go back and I ended up being pretty surprised at how good it was. If you don't feel like making the trek to Lakeview for some Philly's Best just go see Jersey Mike and you'll be happy!

For one thing, this place has the friendliest staff EVER!! Their subs are very good, and quite filling! I've only been here once but I can't wait to go back! And not only do they have subs, but they also have philly cheese steak which is really good also. If you're tired of Subway (YUCK) or Jimmy Johns...try Jersey Mike's...it's pretty amazing.
(5)
R P.
Must admit I am absolutely diggin' the cheese steak!!! You cannot go wrong if you want a good, big, fat, hot, ooey gooey cheesy cheese steak (peppers on the side or not at all). The other subs are excellent as well. they shave the meat right in front of you- all the while talking to you like you are their well liked next door neighbor. Overall, staff is great, subs are great, soups are great. We will definitely be returning!!!!

Never been to a Jersey Mike's but had to try it after I saw a show on the travel channel showcasing great sandwich shops. Although not the original location, this place does a good sub; fresh ingredients and a friendly staff made it an enjoyable trip. Prices are just ok.

Pat M.
Great subs! Nothing is pre sliced, the meat and cheese is sliced per order. Even the bread is sliced when you place your order. I come from N.J. Home of Jersey Mikes it is a taste from home. Welcome to IL

Patrick S.
Had to stop in a for a quick bite in between Saturday errands and way glad I did. Amazing sub, more amazing staff. Just the nicest bunch of people I've ever seen in a resturant - so positive, energenic, friendly. The main guy took a good 3-4 minutes to help a customer with a small kid make a great and tastey sub that Mom knew he'd like. You don't see that enough - employees having fun giving customers a great product. Open up more locations, espcially in the city! But, will return often when we visit the parents in Naperville - just a great, great sub.

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.

This place is amazing. I've been there twice and both times I've been greeted by the manager and been engaged in friendly conversation while ordering. Its really clean in the dining area and the turkey, roast beef, and bacon sub is possibly the best sandwich I've ever eaten! I am hungry just writing this review!

LOVE this place! I love that I am greeted as soon as I walk in the door. This place is ALWAYS busy whenever I go in, but I don't mind waiting in line because the employees are so friendly when it is your turn to order. I am always asked how my day is/has been. Although I have never strayed from my turkey and provolone sandwich, all of the subs look so tasty, I may need to try something new next time!

Holy CRUD! Talk about UNMET expectations! Sheesh! All the build up for .... This? Man-o-mighty. I do not get it. This place FAILED- big time. Why? First of all, 10$ for a sub, a large drink and chips? HELLO!! Have you met your competitors? Subway? Quiznos? Jimmy Johns? They (ALL OF THEM) knock your socks off in pricing and taste. I am not cheap, (I just spent 120$ on a pillow next door) however, for 10$ for a SUB SANDWICH- it BETTER be good. Either that or I am in my second home- NYC. WRONG. Nope, just a crappy sub out in the hinterland burbs. The bread had some flavor, which is good, because that was the ONLY thing with taste on this lunch item. The roast beef, supposedly cooked in the store, was akin to eating paper. No texture, no taste. The provolone cheese? No taste; I double checked to make sure it was present and accounted for. Lettuce- no crisp, no nothing. Tomatoes might has well have been left off. They sure looked pretty, but were mysteriously lacking in flavor. Olives were nowhere to be found on the offerings section, so yeah- they could not help. The calories I wasted on the dab of mayonnaise might as well have been spent eating something else. It also failed to contribute! Either this place was having an off day or the flavor fairy needs to reconsider the mix. 'Cause it sucked! I see that people are cheering the Philly cheese steak sub. My thought- if you cannot do a cold one right, no thanks, not heading back to try the hot. I will grab one next time I am in Philly and save myself the disappointment. The staff? They earned the star. Friendly and helpful. Good to see, cause something has to carry the crowd.

I got an ok Jersey Mike's Famous Philly sub here - it was $6.95 for the regular size. The place is new, clean , and comfortable and workstaff is friendly. This philly was a bit tangier than expected from the peppers, but good and fresh. No cheese as on other classic philly beefs, and it was very light on the onions. The size for $6.95 made it a relatively pricier sub. Overall, and ok place, but I would much prefer Potbelly's for subs.

Pascal M.
GET THAT SAMMY MIKES WAY FOOL! I know everyone has their taste and preferances, but I tend to ignore that. A sandwich like this, IS better with oil and vinegar. If you disagree, you're likely the person who orders turkey with lettuce and cheese. Real adventurous you are... Again, I know "to each is their own." But please people, take chance every once in a while. They know what they're talking about when they tell you to try something a certain way. Their meat crushes the competition. They cure it all themselves. The vegetables look to be of grade A quality. Their service would make Henry Ford proud, plus they give you some humor or a quick chat about Chicago sports (love that). They make bread better than any of the typical chains. Some of their hot sandwiches are worth a go as well. The Philly is a hangover killer! If you haven't been, give em' a try. AND GET IT MIKES WAY!

I'm actually between 3 and 4 stars here.. The first time I had it, I REALLY liked it.. but it got old, quick. There aren't a whole lot of options or toppings here, and I LOVE my toppings on my sandys. I should honestly be a sandy expert at this point. I don't really like the fact that they want you to get it 'Mike's Way' so bad, because, I didn't really like 'Mike's Way' a whole lot.. I tried it.. and ehh it was pretty average. So, without the ability to change up your toppings, you don't get much option, and then, I get sick of it.. you know what I am saying?? As someone who is pretty health-conscious.. I refuse to try the Philly stuff because it sounds like I will feel like a 400 lber when I'm done eating it.. Maybe that's where I am losing out?? Perhaps. Anyway- it's not bad.. but I can only eat it here and there.

Mike T.
I think this place is great. I don't know why its not more popular then it is. The sandwiches are huge, fresh and a good price! The should have fries, Its the only thing they are missing there. Also, they sometimes put too much oil on the subs so you have to tell them to watch it.

Andres D.
Okay okay I agree with the other reviews...Jersey Mike's Subs blows Subway and definitely Quizno's out of the water! There are only (3) locations in Illinois..Naperville, Vernon Hills and Gurnee. I hope they open one up in Downers Grove, that would be great. So I tried the 15" inch Big Kahuna Cheese Steak...GIANT STYLE!!! This was a spicy meal in itself topped with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, jalapenos and extra cheese. I had to ask for a knife and fork because I knew this was going to be a challenge. It looks like a submarine missile ready to take out your biggest appetite as it sits wrapped up in foil. The temperature stays consistent as does the flavor throughout the entire sandwich. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about their products, they seem happy to work which makes for a positive lunch experience. They serve anything from cold/hot subs to wraps and salads. This location was busy on a Sunday afternoon and you may sit outside and eat your meal too! Reason for the (3) stars, I yet to sample the other sandwiches, once I do I will add a follow up review and rating.

[there isn't a review or any info on the one in Bolingbrook, which is the one I went to.] It was okay. I got the Jersey mike famous philly. Not too flavorful, peppers had a nice zing. cheese was lush & melty. but the meat was okay. didn't really pack a punch... the cookies sucked. i had white macadamia & a chocolate chip. I like my cookies to not be soooo soft. I love a crispness around the edge the to sink into it. These tasted undercooked. 9.59 for a sub, 2 cookies (.49 cookies) & a bag of chips. why 2 stars? Because it describes exactly how I feel- Meh. I've experienced better. *weird moment of my day- there is a Nancy's pizzeria as soon as you turn into the complex... a man walks out, using sign language to his wife while walking toward the car. Another man pops out of Nancy's wearing the uniform, and flicks off the guy while yelling the beautiful words of a sailor. o.O that's gonna be stored in my never before seen mind catalog.

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.

Sean D.
I like this place. The best part about Jersey Mikes is there pleasant service that I encounter EVERY time I get a sandwich....I REPEAT EVERY TIME!!!!! A warm greeting does a lot for a business, sometime overshadowing a "shotty" product. The food here is pretty good, always get my grinder "MIKES WAY" adding Italian spices, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. The ingredients are all very good. The meats and cheeses are sliced to order, unlike JJ's and Subway. My only beef, pun not intended, is the bread is a little bit on the crusty/stale side. I do understand that this may be intentional, however the plastic tub that the bread comes out of when you order a sandwich is not sealed (air tight) so me thinks it may be stale. There are not many options for additional toppings here, this is another minor complaint. I know this is an east coast thing, they do things their way so I will leave them alone to sticking to tradition. Prices are right on par with other delis in the area....i do split my time between this place and the other freakin fast place.

I won't be back to Jersey Mike's. They cannot get the orders right, for sure with the wraps. I've had two instances where I have ordered and waited while they prepare it the wraps, paid, and then driven home with my food only to find that they gave me the wrong wrap. A while ago, they just mixed up the wraps - gave mine to the lady behind me ad gave hers to me. Today, I ordered a wrap again, and this time, when I got home, what I unwrapped was a sandwich. They gave me the sandwich that belonged to the person behind me, I think, and gave that person my wrap??? I called when I discovered this at home, and the employee who answered the phone said, yes, they knew now that they had mixed up the orders, and they still had my wrap. That was it; no apology, no offer to make me whole, nothing. When I told him I was not going to spend another 20 - 30 minutes driving round trip to pick up the correct order (likely now cold and gross), he had no response. So, I told him I would NEVER be back for myself or my family. Since I was hungry and did not have time to go back to pick up the wrap, I decided to try the sandwich rather than throw it away. Their sandwiches are mediocre at best. The bread is soft and has no flavor or crust. The meats are not high quality; the Polish ham and plain roasted turkey are almost as lacking in flavor as the bread. There are so many better sandwich places - Potbelly's, Fire House Subs, even Which Wich across the street (though they are incredibly slooooooooow) - with better ingredients, more zip, imagination and spice in their meats, toppings and their bread. NO reason to return to Jersey Mikes.

Hmmm- not impressed! And let me tell you for 2 subs and 2 chips for $28- yes my husband got the huge ones, but still!! The meat had NO flavor! The bread got soggy, the onion flavor on my italian sub was overpowering! I could of had much better at subway for $12 for 2! And that's not saying a lot! I was blown away when he told me the prices for these 2 sandwiches! Wow- really! If you want a yummy sub sandwich go to Potbelly's or Jimmy John's!! We'll skip coming here again!

I've never been to Philly, but this is the best cheesesteak I've ever had. Staff is very friendly, and they keep the place very clean. Very cool that everything is done in-store, from the baking of the bread to the cooking of the roast beef and slicing of other meats when you order. Lines can be ridiculously long during peak hours, but it's worth the wait.

Rachael C.
Love here! Crave here! We used to go to Subway but not anymore. With the meat and cheese cut right in front of you, you know your getting it fresh. Everyone always remembers us when we walk in (usually every Monday afternoon). They have good menu.. enough choices to enjoy but nothing crazy like 15 different breads or something. The only downer for me is sometimes the lettuce looks gross so I don't get it but its only lettuce. The chipotle mayo though.... a MUST on sandwiches!!!

Joe I.
Decent. Food is good. Sub fare. The issue is the service. Seems that each person behind the counter has their duties and can do nothing else. The line gets long because of the inefficient way they handle the customers. Luckily they can rely on the franchise brand.

I've always hated Jersey Mikes. I had really bad experiences with them when I lived in North Carolina (hard, old bread, nasty sour meat, cold chicken on my chicken parm sub...) and swore I'd never go back. Today, my husband was craving a sub and naturally he wanted the Jersey Shore Favorite from Jersey Mikes. Ahh the things we do for love. So I went, not willingly, but I was glad we did in the end. This specific location was pretty good and definitely changed my outlook on the Jersey Mikes franchise....at least the ones in Illinois. The two young men that worked behind the counter were so nice and made small talk with us as we waited for our subs. I ordered the regular chicken parm sub on white for $6.75 and my husband ordered the Jersey Shore Favorite (he's originally from the Jersey Shore so go figure). He swears up and down there's not a place around that makes this sub like Jersey Mikes does. Not sure how much his sub was but between the two of us for the sandwiches, one chip, and two drinks our total came to $18.00. Meh. We didn't have to wait long for our food which was great. I was a little disappointed by the iced tea and raspberry iced tea because neither was sweetened and they tasted foul. The soda machine had a poor selection too...pepsi, diet pepsi, root beer, lemonade....bleh. I hate pepsi products. They need that awesome soda machine that all chains have nowadays with the different flavored syrups you can put in your sodas. But anyways...My sub was just OK. There was about two inches of it that didnt have any chicken on it, so it was just a mouthful of cheese, bread, and marinara. Two inches is a lot if you think about it and I had only ordered a regular which isnt that big. I was also disappointed by the lack of marinara. It was dry. Why are you being stingey with the sauce, Mike? Hot marinara and cheese should be oozing out of that thing. My husband's sandwich was really, really good! The bread was soft and perfect, the meat and the ingredients were fresh, and they put the perfect amount of oil, vinegar, and seasoning. I definitely know what to order next time. I know three stars doesn't seem that great but originally I would have given Jersey Mikes zero stars if possible. They've come a long way. The customer service was amazing at this location, the store was clean and well organized, and the jersey shore fav was delish. BUT they still need some serious work on their chicken parm sub and soda machine.

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!

I ordered on the phone and it was ready to go by the time I got there. I was greeted by friendly staff. I got the regular size chipotle cheesesteak on wheat bread. It was good, nice and cheesy!

Has anyone ever walked into a Jersey Mike's and NOT received great service? This place sure knows how to hire. And when I say "this place" let me clarify: I mean this "chain." I've been to multiple locations and the quality, consistency and customer service are always on-par. To boot, the sizes of sandwiches are perfect. Don't get me wrong, I love the taste/quality of Jimmy John's, but the ability to order smaller sandwiches is KEY at Jersey Mike's. This is a prime location, but they're always quick to prepare your order!
(4)Mike B.
The cheese steak is epic. Especially the froo-froo amped up one. Somewhat arbitrarily listed as #56 or something on the menu if I recall. Everything seems very fresh and the sandwiches are nicely complemented by "The Juice" which is, as far as I can tell, a vinegar and oil blend. I prefer this place to MeatHeads next door, and our family has been back twice for a total of 3 visits. Soup is good too!
(4)Janet N.
$10 for a mediocre Philly, chips and a drink. No thank you.
(2)Jeanie P.
Typical subs place. Pretty good selection. Definitely a nice touch that they slice the deli meat and cheese right in front of you! You can get the subs "mike's way" which is basically everything on it with red wine vinegar and olive oil etc. I kinda thought the red wine vinegar was a little too much. It was splashing everywhere, and I kinda felt bad for the worker who had to do that. Later, it makes for a slightly soggy sandwich. Hm so we tried the Italian (yum), chipotle steak (kinda too sweet), and chipotle turkey (yum). I think overall it was okay, but nothing mind blowing. BTW the giant size is basically two servings of the regular. Anyway, it was honestly a slightly stressful atmosphere with workers running around and yelling things, but it's SO MUCH FASTER than quizno's!! I admire efficiency (I heart america) That being said, I think I'm still a toasted sandwich girl and will have to stick with my potbelly's and quizno's.

Talk about a tasty sub! This is it. And yes have it Mikes Way with the splashy thing and bacon, bacon, bacon! I am a huge fan and will be back again and again. Very good. One downside is the portion size for what you pay. But seriously YUM!

Jersey Mike, where have you been! Yesterday I had seriously one of the best sub sandwiches ever. Trumps Quizno's and Subway, hands down. Even Jimmy John's and Potbelly are second to Jersey Mikes in my world! It's a quick-service sandwich place, and they make the sandwiches right in front of you, a la Subway. If you want their select suite of condiments, you just order it Mike's Way and move on(instead of picking and choosing). Or you can pick and choose. What's the best is they actually slice the meat and cheese for your sandwich AS YOU ORDER IT. You get a very fresh deli sandwich on (excellent) bread that you can watch them take out of the oven a short time before. I can't wait to go back and try one of their other sandwiches - maybe work my way though the menu through the course of the summer. I do wish they offered cookies or something, and maybe they do and I just missed them. It's a fun environment, too. The folks making your sandwiches are people that are obviously happy to be there, and seem genuinely interested in making sure you get the sandwich you want and have a positive experience. I was so happy to see this place very busy at lunch time - good luck to Jersey Mike's in Chicagoland, and you've just got to go and try it out!

I thought their subs were good but I'm still a BIG fan of jimmy johns and potbellies more than jersey mikes. They do give you a big portion in terms of the size of the sub (if you get a large) and the ingredients are fresh. The price is about $6 for just the sub with drink probably around $8. However, I ordered a reuben sandwich and thought that the meat was too salty for my taste.

Watchout Subway and good bye to Jimmy Johns, we have a new champion! After eating here, I will not be stepping foot in any chain sandwich place for a while. Great food, great prices, great service, great speed. I highly reccomend it!
(4)Ray K.
The only thing that could improve Jersey Mike's is if there were more locations! Seriously good food. These are the best subs you will ever have - the colds done Mike's Way are great - but the Philly CheeseSteak? Look out! I go for a #41 - you won't be disappointed, it's a combo of the Big Cahuna and the Philly CheeseSteak...YUMMY! I love how all of the meats are carved to order! A fun, happening, delicious place!
(5)C B.
These are some good subs! In fact, they have the best I have ever eaten. They cost more than Subway, but they have really good coupons once in awhile. Although I like the cherry pepper sauce the quality of the meats and cheeses means the sandwiches don't require much sauce.
(5)Adam W.
i like Jersey Mike's...their sandwiches are really good...and they are HUGE. The philly sandwich is where it's at, since that is like the best sandwich period...so try that out. Over all, trust what everyone else says...cuz its all true stuff.
(4)Christian C.
Best sub around whenever you order an Italian mikes way it is the same every time great food a little pricy but worth it this place is A++
(5)Karl B.
Pretty damn good cheese-steak if you ask me (although I feel bad having one w/ the hawks battling the flyers for the cup). While Philly's Best has set the standard for a cheese-steak to me this comes pretty damn close w/out the long and chaotic drive to Lakeview. The steak was good and fresh off of the grill (none of that microwaved subway crap) and the bread tasted like a Gonnella or Turano roll, again none of that generic subway stuff. The cheese, caramelized onion, and the slightly pickled green peppers made the sandwich amazing. The service was also fairly quick and the shop was nice and clean. I would definitely go back and I ended up being pretty surprised at how good it was. If you don't feel like making the trek to Lakeview for some Philly's Best just go see Jersey Mike and you'll be happy!
(4)Alanna K.
For one thing, this place has the friendliest staff EVER!! Their subs are very good, and quite filling! I've only been here once but I can't wait to go back! And not only do they have subs, but they also have philly cheese steak which is really good also. If you're tired of Subway (YUCK) or Jimmy Johns...try Jersey Mike's...it's pretty amazing.
(5)R P.
Must admit I am absolutely diggin' the cheese steak!!! You cannot go wrong if you want a good, big, fat, hot, ooey gooey cheesy cheese steak (peppers on the side or not at all). The other subs are excellent as well. they shave the meat right in front of you- all the while talking to you like you are their well liked next door neighbor. Overall, staff is great, subs are great, soups are great. We will definitely be returning!!!!
(5)Jim N.
Never been to a Jersey Mike's but had to try it after I saw a show on the travel channel showcasing great sandwich shops. Although not the original location, this place does a good sub; fresh ingredients and a friendly staff made it an enjoyable trip. Prices are just ok.
(4)Pat M.
Great subs! Nothing is pre sliced, the meat and cheese is sliced per order. Even the bread is sliced when you place your order. I come from N.J. Home of Jersey Mikes it is a taste from home. Welcome to IL
(5)Patrick S.
Had to stop in a for a quick bite in between Saturday errands and way glad I did. Amazing sub, more amazing staff. Just the nicest bunch of people I've ever seen in a resturant - so positive, energenic, friendly. The main guy took a good 3-4 minutes to help a customer with a small kid make a great and tastey sub that Mom knew he'd like. You don't see that enough - employees having fun giving customers a great product. Open up more locations, espcially in the city! But, will return often when we visit the parents in Naperville - just a great, great sub.
(5)Thelma P.
I've been here twice now and both times had great hot sandwiches. Staff is great and location is super convenient.

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.
(4)Julie B.
Always a favorite of mine! I love the service, everyone so happy and helpful\. Seems like a great environment for both guest and employee. Every visit which is weekly for me is accurate and quick. LOVE IT! Great quality food, taste, service, very clean. Definitely recommended!
(5)Mike S.
This place is amazing. I've been there twice and both times I've been greeted by the manager and been engaged in friendly conversation while ordering. Its really clean in the dining area and the turkey, roast beef, and bacon sub is possibly the best sandwich I've ever eaten! I am hungry just writing this review!
(5)Tanya K.
Good subs. Quality meat. Made fresh. Clean shop.
(4)Kate O.
LOVE this place! I love that I am greeted as soon as I walk in the door. This place is ALWAYS busy whenever I go in, but I don't mind waiting in line because the employees are so friendly when it is your turn to order. I am always asked how my day is/has been. Although I have never strayed from my turkey and provolone sandwich, all of the subs look so tasty, I may need to try something new next time!
(5)Danielle C.
Holy CRUD! Talk about UNMET expectations! Sheesh! All the build up for .... This? Man-o-mighty. I do not get it. This place FAILED- big time. Why? First of all, 10$ for a sub, a large drink and chips? HELLO!! Have you met your competitors? Subway? Quiznos? Jimmy Johns? They (ALL OF THEM) knock your socks off in pricing and taste. I am not cheap, (I just spent 120$ on a pillow next door) however, for 10$ for a SUB SANDWICH- it BETTER be good. Either that or I am in my second home- NYC. WRONG. Nope, just a crappy sub out in the hinterland burbs. The bread had some flavor, which is good, because that was the ONLY thing with taste on this lunch item. The roast beef, supposedly cooked in the store, was akin to eating paper. No texture, no taste. The provolone cheese? No taste; I double checked to make sure it was present and accounted for. Lettuce- no crisp, no nothing. Tomatoes might has well have been left off. They sure looked pretty, but were mysteriously lacking in flavor. Olives were nowhere to be found on the offerings section, so yeah- they could not help. The calories I wasted on the dab of mayonnaise might as well have been spent eating something else. It also failed to contribute! Either this place was having an off day or the flavor fairy needs to reconsider the mix. 'Cause it sucked! I see that people are cheering the Philly cheese steak sub. My thought- if you cannot do a cold one right, no thanks, not heading back to try the hot. I will grab one next time I am in Philly and save myself the disappointment. The staff? They earned the star. Friendly and helpful. Good to see, cause something has to carry the crowd.

I got an ok Jersey Mike's Famous Philly sub here - it was $6.95 for the regular size. The place is new, clean , and comfortable and workstaff is friendly. This philly was a bit tangier than expected from the peppers, but good and fresh. No cheese as on other classic philly beefs, and it was very light on the onions. The size for $6.95 made it a relatively pricier sub. Overall, and ok place, but I would much prefer Potbelly's for subs.
(3)Pascal M.
GET THAT SAMMY MIKES WAY FOOL! I know everyone has their taste and preferances, but I tend to ignore that. A sandwich like this, IS better with oil and vinegar. If you disagree, you're likely the person who orders turkey with lettuce and cheese. Real adventurous you are... Again, I know "to each is their own." But please people, take chance every once in a while. They know what they're talking about when they tell you to try something a certain way. Their meat crushes the competition. They cure it all themselves. The vegetables look to be of grade A quality. Their service would make Henry Ford proud, plus they give you some humor or a quick chat about Chicago sports (love that). They make bread better than any of the typical chains. Some of their hot sandwiches are worth a go as well. The Philly is a hangover killer! If you haven't been, give em' a try. AND GET IT MIKES WAY!
(4)Lindsay M.
I'm actually between 3 and 4 stars here.. The first time I had it, I REALLY liked it.. but it got old, quick. There aren't a whole lot of options or toppings here, and I LOVE my toppings on my sandys. I should honestly be a sandy expert at this point. I don't really like the fact that they want you to get it 'Mike's Way' so bad, because, I didn't really like 'Mike's Way' a whole lot.. I tried it.. and ehh it was pretty average. So, without the ability to change up your toppings, you don't get much option, and then, I get sick of it.. you know what I am saying?? As someone who is pretty health-conscious.. I refuse to try the Philly stuff because it sounds like I will feel like a 400 lber when I'm done eating it.. Maybe that's where I am losing out?? Perhaps. Anyway- it's not bad.. but I can only eat it here and there.
(3)Mike T.
I think this place is great. I don't know why its not more popular then it is. The sandwiches are huge, fresh and a good price! The should have fries, Its the only thing they are missing there. Also, they sometimes put too much oil on the subs so you have to tell them to watch it.
(5)Andres D.
Okay okay I agree with the other reviews...Jersey Mike's Subs blows Subway and definitely Quizno's out of the water! There are only (3) locations in Illinois..Naperville, Vernon Hills and Gurnee. I hope they open one up in Downers Grove, that would be great. So I tried the 15" inch Big Kahuna Cheese Steak...GIANT STYLE!!! This was a spicy meal in itself topped with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, jalapenos and extra cheese. I had to ask for a knife and fork because I knew this was going to be a challenge. It looks like a submarine missile ready to take out your biggest appetite as it sits wrapped up in foil. The temperature stays consistent as does the flavor throughout the entire sandwich. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about their products, they seem happy to work which makes for a positive lunch experience. They serve anything from cold/hot subs to wraps and salads. This location was busy on a Sunday afternoon and you may sit outside and eat your meal too! Reason for the (3) stars, I yet to sample the other sandwiches, once I do I will add a follow up review and rating.

[there isn't a review or any info on the one in Bolingbrook, which is the one I went to.] It was okay. I got the Jersey mike famous philly. Not too flavorful, peppers had a nice zing. cheese was lush & melty. but the meat was okay. didn't really pack a punch... the cookies sucked. i had white macadamia & a chocolate chip. I like my cookies to not be soooo soft. I love a crispness around the edge the to sink into it. These tasted undercooked. 9.59 for a sub, 2 cookies (.49 cookies) & a bag of chips. why 2 stars? Because it describes exactly how I feel- Meh. I've experienced better. *weird moment of my day- there is a Nancy's pizzeria as soon as you turn into the complex... a man walks out, using sign language to his wife while walking toward the car. Another man pops out of Nancy's wearing the uniform, and flicks off the guy while yelling the beautiful words of a sailor. o.O that's gonna be stored in my never before seen mind catalog.

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.
(4)Sean D.
I like this place. The best part about Jersey Mikes is there pleasant service that I encounter EVERY time I get a sandwich....I REPEAT EVERY TIME!!!!! A warm greeting does a lot for a business, sometime overshadowing a "shotty" product. The food here is pretty good, always get my grinder "MIKES WAY" adding Italian spices, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. The ingredients are all very good. The meats and cheeses are sliced to order, unlike JJ's and Subway. My only beef, pun not intended, is the bread is a little bit on the crusty/stale side. I do understand that this may be intentional, however the plastic tub that the bread comes out of when you order a sandwich is not sealed (air tight) so me thinks it may be stale. There are not many options for additional toppings here, this is another minor complaint. I know this is an east coast thing, they do things their way so I will leave them alone to sticking to tradition. Prices are right on par with other delis in the area....i do split my time between this place and the other freakin fast place.

I won't be back to Jersey Mike's. They cannot get the orders right, for sure with the wraps. I've had two instances where I have ordered and waited while they prepare it the wraps, paid, and then driven home with my food only to find that they gave me the wrong wrap. A while ago, they just mixed up the wraps - gave mine to the lady behind me ad gave hers to me. Today, I ordered a wrap again, and this time, when I got home, what I unwrapped was a sandwich. They gave me the sandwich that belonged to the person behind me, I think, and gave that person my wrap??? I called when I discovered this at home, and the employee who answered the phone said, yes, they knew now that they had mixed up the orders, and they still had my wrap. That was it; no apology, no offer to make me whole, nothing. When I told him I was not going to spend another 20 - 30 minutes driving round trip to pick up the correct order (likely now cold and gross), he had no response. So, I told him I would NEVER be back for myself or my family. Since I was hungry and did not have time to go back to pick up the wrap, I decided to try the sandwich rather than throw it away. Their sandwiches are mediocre at best. The bread is soft and has no flavor or crust. The meats are not high quality; the Polish ham and plain roasted turkey are almost as lacking in flavor as the bread. There are so many better sandwich places - Potbelly's, Fire House Subs, even Which Wich across the street (though they are incredibly slooooooooow) - with better ingredients, more zip, imagination and spice in their meats, toppings and their bread. NO reason to return to Jersey Mikes.
(1)Michelle I.
Hmmm- not impressed! And let me tell you for 2 subs and 2 chips for $28- yes my husband got the huge ones, but still!! The meat had NO flavor! The bread got soggy, the onion flavor on my italian sub was overpowering! I could of had much better at subway for $12 for 2! And that's not saying a lot! I was blown away when he told me the prices for these 2 sandwiches! Wow- really! If you want a yummy sub sandwich go to Potbelly's or Jimmy John's!! We'll skip coming here again!
(2)N O.
Awesome food; awesome service; awesome manager! The staff is always in a great mood, and that makes me want to come back!
(5)Dave B.
I've never been to Philly, but this is the best cheesesteak I've ever had. Staff is very friendly, and they keep the place very clean. Very cool that everything is done in-store, from the baking of the bread to the cooking of the roast beef and slicing of other meats when you order. Lines can be ridiculously long during peak hours, but it's worth the wait.
(5)Rachael C.
Love here! Crave here! We used to go to Subway but not anymore. With the meat and cheese cut right in front of you, you know your getting it fresh. Everyone always remembers us when we walk in (usually every Monday afternoon). They have good menu.. enough choices to enjoy but nothing crazy like 15 different breads or something. The only downer for me is sometimes the lettuce looks gross so I don't get it but its only lettuce. The chipotle mayo though.... a MUST on sandwiches!!!
(4)Joe I.
Decent. Food is good. Sub fare. The issue is the service. Seems that each person behind the counter has their duties and can do nothing else. The line gets long because of the inefficient way they handle the customers. Luckily they can rely on the franchise brand.
