Had a really pleasant experience! The guy who made my sandwich went to fill his drink in the dining room after and stopped at every table to ask how the food was. I thought that was great customer service. I feel he did it on his own accord and this isn't policy and it was a nice touch, he should be commended for going the extra mile. As for the food, I would say a touch pricy. Just a touch though. I found my sandwich to hit the spot. Bread was soft and just the right amount of chewy. Meat wasn't stringy or over cooked and the cheese made a ooey gooey compliment to make it moist. The service was quick and the dining room clean. If I had to make one complaint, if I was being super picky, I'm not a fan of the corn meal? Or what not on the bottom of the bread, I know it's so it doesn't stick to the pan when cooked but it's not my personal preference and at this point it wouldn't really deter me from eating there again. It's a chain yes but I really liked it!

Their wraps and sammies are much better than all the Wall decorations. Haiku's can be hard. When you don't have opinions On a restaurant. But you also need a longer review to make not a Haiku "Tip". Haiku review

Love this place, it's the only place I will get a cheesesteak or hoagie from in Lincoln (or anywhere other than Philly/Jersey for that matter). I'm from Philadelphia, home of the cheese steak and hoagie. They're the best, if you're from the midwest and want a taste of a real Philly Cheesesteak or Hoagie, this is the place to fulfill your wishes! When friends and family come from out east to visit, they're quite happy with the quality. I took off a star because it's a little pricey and they don't have ketchup. How am I supposed to eat my cheesesteak without ketchup?! Who does that?! Overall, amazing!

Awesome workers. Great place. Food is great. Little pricey for a sub, but hey, you gotta pay if you want good food. I come here almost every day for lunch.

I crave their cheese steak sandwich with chipotle mayo. Great workers, very personable. Need napkins included with juicy sub's but the mess is totally worth the flavor! Delicious, will definitely be back.

I prefer Jersey Mike's to most other sub places around town, especially when talking about hot subs. Their cold subs are on par with Goodcents, which is high praise for me, but I still think it's the hot subs that make them shine. That and their bread - I think they've got the best bread of any chain sub place around. The hot subs are cooked right when you order and each of the ones I've tried has delivered very good flavors. The Philly's are great and have the right amount of cheese combined with generous meat and fresh toppings. The BBQ sandwich was also very good, and they've easily got the Buffalo Chicken wrap/sub of any similar place. The buffalo sauce is actually tasty and when combined with the blue cheese, it really makes for a pleasing meal. I normally avoid buffalo flavored subs at places like this, but Jersey Mike's is the exception. The people working this location seem to be friendly and fast. The manager (at least the man I assume is the manager) is a character and enjoys some back and forth with customers, which only adds to the friendly atmosphere. Especially if you're doing a hot sub, there's always a bit of a wait since they cook it to order, but it doesn't take more than a few minutes. During busier times, you'll obviously have a bit more of a wait, but I've yet to see it get really bad. The staff has always done a good job of moving people along and getting sandwiches out. It can be a little inconvenient to get to, or get out of, depending on which direction you're coming from and which direction you want to go when you leave. It's nothing major, just be careful in the parking lot, it's pretty tight. You can also go back through the neighborhood just a short distance if you want to end up heading north on 48th. For most people, a regular size should be sufficient. They give you a lot of meat and toppings, so it's more food than you might think. I saw a sign saying they're running student deals for $7.29. It's a different sandwich each day, along with chips and a 22 oz drink. I do agree with others saying the amount of oil and vinegar they use can soak through the bread very quickly. If you're going to do that option, you might ask them to go light on it. If you haven't tried Jersey Mike's, give them a shot, especially if you enjoy hot subs. I haven't been disappointed yet.

First visit to Jersey Mike's. Wife and I had gotten a 2-for-1 coupon in the mail so we figured we'd give it a shot. This location is pretty much brand new, so I think we had the owner/manager(s) working the counter at dinner time. They knew what they were doing, and were pretty personable, as you'd expect. I ordered a Club Supreme (roast beef, turkey and bacon) and the wife got a tuna, both regular sized, both on white bread. They only offer white and wheat for bread choices, which I suppose fits with their "classic style" approach. I was a little surprised to see not all that much in the way of toppings on offer. That's fine by me; sometimes, as they say, "less is more". When topping time came for my wife's sandwich, she agreed to "Mike's Way" which---if I remember correctly---is lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, vinegar and herbs. I was going to go that route also for my first experience, but when I saw the amount of oil and vinegar that the woman was applying to the wife's sandwich, I quickly decided to pass on the oil. It was really doused on heavily, and if there's one thing that ruins a sub for me, it's having it be sloppy and/or soggy. That and well....I don't know what several tablespoons of what I was pretty sure was just plain vegetable oil adds to the experience, other than...oiliness. My sandwich already had mayo, cheese and bacon on it, so..... As far as the ingredients, I don't doubt Jersey Mikes' claim that they only use top-quality/premium brands. Everything was clearly fresh, the roast beef was moist and tender, they sliced the cheese on the spot, etc. Again, what you'd expect in a newly-opened place, but I'd bet that it's the norm. I also appreciated the pricing, which seems quite fair for the quality of the ingredients and the size of the sandwich. $6.50 or so was perfectly reasonable. So what about the bottom line? I feel like every chain sub sandwich place has decent (and roughly the same) ingredients so for me, it all comes down to personal preference on the bread. After we'd sat down and had a few bites my comment to my wife was "Still a Jimmy John's guy". She agreed. Jersey Mike's bread (while I'm sure fresh and baked on-site, as they claim) seems to lean more toward a Subway type of texture, whereas I prefer the chewier (I believe, more authentic) French bread of Jimmy John's. Truthfully I'd like to give Jersey Mike's 3.5 stars. It's better than 3, but not quite a 4. If you're a big sub sandwich fan, I have no problem recommending it. I'd certainly stop back if I were nearby and needed a quick lunch or something...but I probably wouldn't go out of my way.

I've been watching this area come up in the last couple of months. After passing by it almost daily, I decided to pop in for dinner (well a little after; it was around 7). When I always try a new place, I ask what the staff recommends. I find this is a good litmus test of their product knowledge and friendliness. The gentleman (I think he was the manager) ran through some of the sandwiches with me and I found him very friendly. I ended up ordering the Club Supreme (their roast beef was pitched pretty hard by the guy). They had rosemary parm bread that seemed to be new, so I figured I'd give it a shot. One this not mentioned in the other reviews is they slice the meat before making your sandwich. Yes, I know Jimmy John's does this (I've seen them do it) but not RIGHT before your sandwich is made. In fact, the meats and cheeses are kept in a glass refrigerator akin to a deli. I was debating getting it "Mike's Way", but I saw how much oil and vinegar on it, I pass. I'm not a huge fan of the oil/vinegar combo anyway, but that amount was obscene. The sandwich itself was pretty standard: somewhere above Subway, but below Jimmy John's. The rosemary and oregano combo was WAY overpowering to any of the other ingredient's flavors. Since the roast beef was pitched pretty hard, I took a piece off the sandwich and I tried some by itself. It was nothing special, pretty bland and dry. One thing to note though is the ingredients didn't slip around like with a Jimmy John's sandwich. Bottom line: It's a place I could see myself going to again. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way to get to though. The quality of sandwich wasn't anything special and no real signature to it. It's priced pretty well, but that's about it.

I was excited about this place. It's ok. Not a very fast place. I have been twice. The first time it was an off time and they have like 5 people working and seemed like it took forever for them to make two sandwiches. Mind you it was just my husband and I in line. I decided to get it "jersey mike" style with oil and vinegar and from the time they made it until I unwrapped at my table the bottom bread was gross and soggy. When I ask for the same at Goodcents I've never had it sog up the bread. 2nd ting went in a little busier and def took a long time. Did I mention the place is so small and awkward when waiting in line you are standing directly next to a person at a table? Well it is. It's a little pricey. I may go back but never will I crave it. The last gripe about this place is I'm disturbed how they place the sandwiches directly on the counter instead of a cutting board. They do put it on a cutting board when they do the toppings but then it grosses me out they keep cutting sandwiches never cleaning off the knife from one sub to the next.

Their version of Mike's way leaves the bread completely soaked in vinegar. After a remake the sandwich was excellent as expected.

Nothing special. Less than the typical sandwich selections. Tastes ok, just not something you crave ever - just another sandwich option. Don't care for the cornmeal on the bread though.
