“I am not even joking when I say this is the BEST subway sandwich I have ever had. It was made so well and I ordered through the mobile app for a pickup and it was finished before I even got there and was sitting waiting for me! There were two guys working and they were very nice! Seriously cannot give enough praise to you guys and will definitely be back to this location, thank you!!“

“This place was terrific! My wife is allergic to garlic and onions and in order to make sure they could try and make her sub safe they wiped down the entire preparation area, changed out the knives, opened new seasoning and put papers down just to make sure she was as safe as possible. This was above and beyond for us, thank you!“

“I don’t normally leave comments. The AI images (on the menu, on the website) has really been a huge turnoff when I try to recommend the place (unappetizing and sometimes cosmic horror-level depictions) to friends and family. The actual photos from goers does a billion times more legwork for convincing a visit.“

“I was in Iowa for a trip and tried McAlister's as it was near my hotel. The staff there are extremely nice and helped me get the best from the menu. I ordered the grilled chicken salad which was huge including an unsweet iced tea. I enjoyed the salad. I will come again to try their sandwiches next“

“They were exactly what my family and I were looking for. We each ordered 4 different sandwiches 10' and 18' and we were not disappointed. Highly recommended and will gladly return.“

“sandwich was amazing and a little wait time for fresh sandwich“

“Still one of my fave sammich places around town. #13 Italian “Mike’s Way”. Not pictured, #4, 7 and 11. All excellent, service was friendly and nice. Wish they had arrows, truth be told, as it’s confusing where to walk and stand but oh well. Makes for a fun maze to figure out 😬 LOVE their brewed iced tea but mostly just a good, simple deli sandwich that isn’t $20. 🤷🏻‍♀️ — at Jersey Mike's Subs (12851 University Ave.,Ste. 200,Clive,IA).“

“Love their bread and sandwich dressings but then there’s the rich soups and cookies. Never disappointed 🤤🥪“

“Chicken California the best!“

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Subway today! The staff were friendly, professional, and made my sandwich exactly the way I like it. Everything was fresh — the bread was warm, the veggies were crisp, and the meat was perfectly portioned.

The restaurant was clean and inviting, and they prepared my order quickly even though it was busy. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

Big thanks to the team for great customer service and delicious food. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon! Highly recommend this Subway location to anyone looking for quality and a friendly atmosphere.“

“Went in at 11:00, was greeted immediately, went through all of the options and customizations possible. Mark and this deli gives overall amazing service. Asked if we needed anything when eating multiple times. Special thanks to Mark he was very nice“

“There was a sign for where you could order your meals but it wasn’t very visible so we had gotten in line for adding the ingredients and making the sandwiches (which we thought was the start of the line) but then had to go back to the front to order. Very crowded don’t recommend going during the weekend especially lunch hours. Their internet was down so they could only do charges up to 25 dollars one at a time. The kimchi Philly was delicious. The associate who made our sandwiches and took payment was helpful and efficient“

“I love this location! The lunch crew is always the best here! They offer top notch service, always share a good chat and definitely push for all the ways a sub sandwich can be made in different ways. We visit this location at least 2-3 times a week and I have never been disappointed!“

“The subs are out of this world! I like my going to good causes.“

“Wanted to wait until I visited this new location at least four times before giving an honest review. Well, after four visits are not completed, I will say that the staff and owner of this place are doing things the right way! I used to be a subway and Jimmy Johns customer, but after visiting this location multiple times, I am now a Jersey Mike's customer. The owner is really outgoing and easy to talk to, making things more relaxing once the order is being processed. The staff that prepares the food are friendly also, and they aim to please as much as possible (within reason). The sandwiches are built with care, not sloppily put together like other establishments I have visited. The facility is clean, and safety making the sandwiches is always practiced. They are also very efficient getting the order processed in a timely manner. For the near future, this will be my "To-go" place for fast food. Thank you!“

“I order on a regular basis from this location. Food is always correct and delivery is always very prompt! I placed my order today at 11:25am and received my order at 11:36pm. Talk about speedy delivery! Thank you to the team at this location for always bringing their A game!“

“I work from home and hate cooking lunch. Every time i have been in here, regardless of what I'm spending, i get fantastic service, fantastic recommendations and extremely quick timing for my orders. This location is fantastic and so are the folks that work there. I highly recommend and will continue to go there“

“I stopped into the Quiznos in Urbandale and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and enjoyable the whole visit was. The moment I walked in, the place felt welcoming — bright, clean, and comfortable without being crowded or noisy. It had that “well taken care of” vibe that instantly puts you at ease.
The staff really stood out. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, upbeat, and impressively quick without making the experience feel rushed. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it makes a difference. It’s refreshing to see a team that works efficiently while still being warm and attentive.
And of course, the food was the highlight. I ordered a steak sub, and it was absolutely delicious — hot, flavorful, and made exactly the way I wanted. Everything tasted fresh and well‑prepared. Overall, this location delivered a great experience from start to finish, and I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in the area.“

“Out of all the Subways in West Des Moines, Urbandale, and Clive this one is easily one of the best. Don't come here often since its out of the way but when I do come here it makes it's case easily. Also yes its 12-18 dollars for a footlong. You're a grown man you better pay ✌🫩“

“Kevin was fantastic tonight but he was the only staff who was working. I am not sure what happened but a staff member should never be alone especially during a rush. Kevin was quick paced and kind as he got everyones orders made. Jimmy Johns this is unacceptable. Other locations should jump in to help and send team members as customers were waiting over 30 minutes for their orders. The low stars are not due to Kevin as he was great. They are due to leaving a staff member alone without proper help.“

“I went here expecting the usual Subway experience which isn't bad, but instead I got one of the best staff members I have seen in any fast food restaurant. Danny, my sandwich artist, was very personable with the prior customer whom was there when I walked in and with myself when I ordered. He masterfully found balance between striking personal conversation and making the sandwich as the customer ordered. His sandwich making skills were also great and the sandwich looked visually very good. Ultimately I give props to Danny and wrote this because of how excellent his handling was of the customer and food creation. Wish best of luck.“
