“Very enjoyable meal! I went with a group of people & we had very good service! We were in the meeting room & the restaurant supplied menus for us to view so we could decide our selection.

“This amazing little Sandwich Shop has BIG flavors going on in its kitchen! I had the pleasure of trying there grilled steak sandwich and Cuban sandwich with all the fixings and they were amazing! As I pulled apart my sandwich from the middle cut, I had just the right amount of cheese pull. The bread is to die for! I also tried their white rice with chicken stew and it was heaven on a plate. The staff was very nice to include the restaurant's owner Ms Cuca...who gave us a genuine smile as soon as we walked into the store. This place is a Latin Mom and Pops spot that you must visit for authentic Latin cuisine“

“Un Restaurante todo muy Rico y las personas muy amable“

“Great service and good food! The employees here are amazing! My partner and I went for some lunch after shopping and were greeted kindly and our food was hot and fresh. The music choice at this location is great as well! It really had me in a happy and grooving mood. I'd say this is a great location to have a lunch break and hang out for a bit! My partner and I certainly had a good time.“

“By far the best subs in town! Not your typical ham and cheese sub shop. The subs they make are booming with flavor and variety. Cool Ranch Ryder, and their October special (Witch hunt?) are amazing! I wish they had a Tyrone location buttttt then again I’d probably be there multiple times a week if they were that close to me. The staff are always so friendly, fast and efficient, and accommodating. Kenwood location is our favorite one but I’m sure they’re all amazing.“

“Great place to eat, these people are amazing, they make you feel like family, kind, patient and accommodating, I recommend this place 1000, if you want to enjoy good food and great service, you should visit this place with your family and friends“

“Great service, good food, would definitely go back!“

“First time customer, some communication issues ref vanilla milk shake..to be honest the order line is backwards…register should be in back not FRONT..this is 101..BTW Lucky 7 and Turk sandwich with provolone were good not off the charts..decent and maybe we’ll stop in around 6 months from now..ouch!!“

“Perfecto! I ordered an Italian with everything but jalapeños. Most palaces would have handed me some overloaded unmanageable pile of junk. Like biting into a whole onion. Papa joes was a perfectly placed amount of ingredients and was delicious. Thanks for lunch y’all!“

“Went for lunch here with the wife had the blt 🥪 was amazing big portions will definitely be back again soon thanks 😊“

“I’ll recommend it because they make great food BUT I went to the Ladies Room and the soap dispenser is broken. The thing is, there were two females making sandwiches which begs the question....did they wash their hands??? They wear gloves and, I suppose, they could wash their hands in the kitchen but why? Why is it broken? Do they not pee? As I said great food but this is a concern“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jersey Mike’s for lunch, and while the experience started off slightly differently than I anticipated, it turned out to be nothing short of fantastic. Typically, one of my favorite parts of visiting Jersey Mike’s is the warm and enthusiastic “Welcome to Jersey Mike’s!” greeting when I walk through the door. This time, however, I noticed that the greeting was absent, and I had to initiate the conversation with the team member to place my order. While this departure from the usual energy stood out, it didn’t detract from the overall quality of my visit, as the service itself remained friendly, professional, and efficient.

The restaurant itself left a great impression. It was exceptionally clean, with a well-thought-out layout that made it easy to navigate and added to the overall inviting atmosphere. I appreciate when a dining space is both functional and well-maintained, as it elevates the entire experience and shows attention to detail on the management’s part.

For my meal, I decided on a regular Chipotle Cheesesteak, which I customized by adding lettuce—a simple adjustment, but one that added a refreshing crunch to the rich, savory flavors of the sandwich. From the very first bite, I knew I’d made a great choice. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, while the chipotle sauce brought just the right amount of smoky heat to the mix. The bread, which is always a highlight at Jersey Mike’s, was fresh and soft with a slight chewiness that held everything together beautifully. This was, hands down, one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had in a long time—absolutely top-tier in every way.

All things considered, this visit to Jersey Mike’s was an amazing experience. The minor hiccup with the lack of a greeting didn’t overshadow the cleanliness of the space, the great service, or the incredible food. I would wholeheartedly recommend this location to anyone looking for a delicious, satisfying meal in a clean and welcoming environment. The Chipotle Cheesesteak, especially with a personal touch like adding lettuce, is a must-try. It’s an easy 10/10 from me, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

“This was my 5th or 6th visit to this location in 4 months. 100% recommend, one of, if not the very best Firehouse location I've visited and I go a lot all over the SE US. Food, quality, service and staff here are always on point and the sore and restrooms are super clean. This location should be a training store!“
