Do you like Jersey Mike's?
YES!!
It's the best out of the big chains.
hell yes but 60 miles away...
I like everything but the bread. It's so hard and crusty. And it's not just Jersey Mikes - all the sub places (subway, firehouse, et all) seem to love using hard, crusty sub rolls. I hate them. Schmitt's bakery used to deliver the softest sub rolls to a place near me called Tropical Treat in Northern MD, who had the BEST cheeseburger subs using those soft sub rolls. They also had a Gorf coin-op video game, so we're talking a long time ago. But surely someone out there must have soft sub rolls today.
I’m still choosing jersey mikes over subway anytime
Oh hell, there’s no comparison.
Pro tip - ask the staff to not put the tomatoes on the sub until AFTER they apply "the juice". If they put the tomatoes on first, "the juice" just runs off the tomato slices. If you wait to apply the tomatoes, the lettuce and onions soak all that "juice" - then put the tomatoes on. Works like a charm.
This is such a bizarre hit piece that just made me crave Jersey Mike’s anyway.
that italian mike's way made me a believer
Subway sucks…
An alleged employee at Mashed told me they made this up. Allegedly.
Everything was alleged or supposed. If you're going to go after a company, try to use facts. Poor reporting here.
It's really nothing new for this channel, or media in general. Facts don't support their objective. Clearly, some suit at Mashed has a beef with Jersey Mike's. So let the assumptions and outright lies fly...
I totally agree -- it's all alleged -- absolutely no proof. And what's wrong with David's cookies? As for using Sysco vinegar, that's fine with me (I own Sysco stock). And for what it's worth, I must have a dozen Italian deli's within a mile of my house -- but I still think Jersey Mike's is better than all of them.
They get 100% of their facts from Reddit, allegedly or was it Twitter?
I work at jersey mikes and a few of these r true like the day old bread (we just move that days bread into the hot sub bin near close) and the brownies and vinegar i ant confirm the olive oil cause ive never actually rad the ingredients but i dont think it really matters but the soda thing isnt true at least for my store we sanitize the nozzles every night
Source: REDDIT 😂😂😂
As for "they don't know how to make a salami and cheese," just order a #11 Stickball Special, which is salami, ham and cheese. It's not exact, but it's delicious and is my favorite cold sub. It's no longer on the menu posted on the wall, but it's a legit menu item, so they know how to make it and price it.
Love Jersey Mike's
Those of us who live in New Jersey have access to the best subs and pizza…small mom and pop shops. They actually opened a Jersey Mikes store in my small town. We already have 2 small pizza shops in 2 miles. Plus a new Starbucks right next door.. I don’t expect this Jersey Mikes to last long.
You’d be surprised. I live in NY and we are known for the best of everything, but these sub chains seem to survive most of the time.
Who they really need to go after is subways, their sandwiches look nothing like the photos. All you get is lettuce, tomatoes, bread and 2 slices of cold cuts. It might as well be veggie sandwiches.
In the one’s I’ve ate at have had plenty of meat.
LMAO - Glad your experience there was good. I've ALWAYS found their subs to have almost no meat on a stale bun/bread. Baked fresh daily; LMAO also...@@Deodoto
Nothing wrong with day old bread, it’s better toasted
It is good for toasting, since the toasting is going to remove the moister content from fresh bread anyway. It's preferred for things like French toast also.
Jersey Mike's is my favorite by far. Love their subs and I have never been disappointed with any of them. You can bust on Jersey Mike's if you want but I challenge you to find a perfect sub shop.
jersey Mike is awesome and subway is definitely not the perfect sub shop that's for sure xd.
Publix deli shits on most fast food sub places and is often cheaper with a bigger menu (the entire deli meat/cheese selection).
I can't figure out why they ragging on Jersey Mikes either, they must be bored reading Reddit threads 24/7!
Although your objective was the opposite, you just made me go to Jersey Mike's for dinner. Hope you enjoy those sour grapes.
The objective is to educate us on what we are paying good money for!
@@mrmusiclover4178 Nonsense. If that were the case, facts rather than unproven allegations would be used. You probably don't know the difference between those, but I do. My sandwich that night was great too.
@@goodoldbubba6620 I do believe employees know what is going on. BTW, I LIKE Jersey Mike's philly-type subs. And I stick by my statement. I do know the difference between allegations, black lies and fact, since I have watched Donald Trump's thousands of dangerous lies, fascism and his treason against our nation for years.
I think their subs are very good ! This must be sponsored by Subway .
I had ordered a sandwich from Jersey Mike's awhile back, and I thought that it was a decent sub sandwich. The only problem that I had encountered with it was the bread. It was not soft, and it's rather tough on my jaws while chewing it.
I am from North Jersey and have lived in the South for the last 40+ years. The Jersey Mike's I frequent has good sandwiches (except for the Chicken Philly and the tuna). Since I have yet to find a mom and pop down here that makes good subs, it is Jersey Mike's. When I visit up north, it is the mom and pop sandwich/pizza shops that rule.
I eat at the Jersey Mike's in my hometown. the staff and the service has always been excellent.
For us, it's gotten TOO EXPENSIVE to get subs from Jersey Mike's. Granted, most @JM places give you a little more than subway, but I have noticed that their sandwiches have been slimmed down. So, if I am paying $20 bucks, I am not going to go and have to ask for extra onions or lettuce or whatever. My family just rather buy the ingredients at Kroger's and make it at home.
How about their $2 fee for placing your order on their app mixed within “taxes and fees “ like everyone else .
I was 9 ys old when I ate my first sub at the Jersey Shore, no doubt Pt. Pleasant. I am 80 yrs old! Jersey Mikes is AS CLOSE AS I HAVE EATEN OUTSIDE OF NJ. I Now live outside of Panama City FL. Stop knocking a good thing. At least they put met on it. Another Sub place well known losses the meat!
Mike's is great! Love it and wish we had one in Milwaukie OR
You can rag on Jersey Mike's all you want but the one near me here in Northwest Houston makes really good sandwiches. In fact , I think they are way better than all the other chain sandwich shops around me such as Subway, Jimmy John's, Firehouse Subs, Potbelly, McAlister's Deli, Schlotzsky's, and Jason's Deli.
when they 1st opened up here they were Great! Lots of meat on the sub, lots. Now you get a little meat like Subway.
@@stevewashere4122 Yes, exactly. They have sure got cheap lately. So, we quit going. If you pay $20 bucks, you expect a very decent sandwich. Well, not anymore ...
@@stevewashere4122 Every restaurant is using less meat now days since this is the worst economy since the 1970's.
I sometimes drive 10 miles to get my Jersey Mikes fix!
I’m addicted to their 13 because its flavor profile matches the subs I got decades ago even though I know the ingredients are not top shelf. As for the day old bread, I don’t know how that can be a thing since I’ve ordered late and all they have left is wheat.
Better than subway
Dirty fountain drink snozzles are a common occurrence. Which is why they are supposed to be cleaned every day. But many employees slack off on their duties.
Is this really so hard to make. You take extra virgin olive oil and add red wine vinegar. Challenge complete. ✌️
So, right they make it sound as if Jersey Mikes has cornered the market on Vinegar and Oil! Oh wait we have some in the pantry!! OMG!
I’m gonna watch it again and count times “alleged” was said
i was at a subway month ago and the worker was cleaning the soda machine, looked like draino. wasn't sure if that was the norm but i atleast it was getting cleaned.
2000 mg Sodium for a regular philly. That's not "fresh"; it's preserved.
All in all JM makes a good sandwich and the prices (for just the sandwich) are more than fair. The issues they talk about here are likely true for most sandwich shops. Three thumbs up!
There was a Jersey Subs by our old house, it was good at first then they sliced the meat so thin you could see through and charged $13. It closed a few months later.
they put Subway quantity meats on their subs. Lots of bread little meat & cheese.
Yes, exactly. They have sure got cheap lately. So, we quit going. If you pay $20 bucks, you expect a very decent sandwich. Well, not anymore ...
I generally like Jersey Mike's although Jimmy John's bread is much better. I just got Jersey Mike's on Saturday and I always get hot subs and for some reason to me it seemed not as good as usual, the bread didn't seem right and that might be it, the bread might not have been fresh. Also I will note that is the first time ever the owner was not there and also the kids working there decided to blast the music as loud as humanly possible. Overall though it's a good chain.
was there about a yr ago loved it first time and 69 yrs old...I just checked the price and its the same no increase...just mite do a day trip back..130 mile round trip but worth it....
Oh well, I guess no more Jersey Mikes for me or subway.
Olive oil, canola oil, motor oil, if it tastes great, eat it. Jersey mikes rocks.
Had an interview there last week, they only hire young people and the manager that interviewed me just turned 21.
Gimme a number 56 Big Kahuna! Oh yeah 👍
Never have eaten a Jersey M sub and never will, irrespective of this groundless hit piece
Day old bread is perfect, and it works much better for a hot sub because they are JUICY. For the veggie mushroom sub and any of the cheesesteaks, a slightly older bun is BETTER. If you get a cold sub and don't eat it right away, it can get too soggy!
I bought a large hot sub the other day for $18 before a tip. I would've walked out if I saw them use a day-old bread. They probably did, though.
Jersey Mikes is my favorite place for subs in Ohio however if I go to visit my family on the east coast I will go to a mom & pop.
i live in north jersey… Jersey mikes is 🔥 lol
GOD BLAST! You can’t trust Subway, Quiznos, Jersey Mikes, or anyone; might as well just give it up! 🍴🙄
So what love jersey mikes
I do not like them at all! I've tried them four times now & each one was subpar - no pun intended. They were bland, over priced, the bread was not good, meger portions. Overall, they were quite flavorless. Since then I've received two coupons for free subs, which I threw out. That sums it up. I'd much rather make my own at home. 👎
I’m cutting this off at 7:48 as to not give a minute more of my time to this stretch. I’ve had a few issues with JMs here and there, but it was over rude employees and missing Shore Points, nothing to do with the food. My biggest criticism of the chain is rare, almost pointless coupons good for like two days windows of time. That’s it. The food is simply “sandwich crack” as one person I knew called it. So much to tear apart in this video, but it’s not worth the time. FAIL!
A Jersey Mike's has opened in my town where a Subway once was. I refused Subway just like I refuse Jersey Mike's. Why? My local family corner store makes crazy awesome sandwiches with super high quality ingredients like Liscio’s rolls and Dietz and Watson and Thumanns meats. No franchise sandwich place comes close in taste and in value.
Still gonna have my Jersey Mikes sub. Buffalo Chicken sub…yummy.
I hate how they load the og 13 with ham to make it bigger. If you request no ham the workers will have a fckn heart attack
A new Jersey Mikes is killing it in my city. Much better than Subway.
What I've never understood is why they dress the tomatoes instead of the lettuce. Most of it just beads off the surface of the slices and onto the counter. I usually request they dress the lettuce, and more than one employee has agreed with me that their way doesn't make sense.
I prefer Jersey Mike's over Subway which was bought by Roark Capital which is a lovely private equity firm.
Jersey Mikes is better than Subway and Togo's! I have never had any issues with their bread or ingredients. I not only make the fifteen minute drive home and my large sandwich is fine. I also save half of my sandwich for the next day and it too is fine.
From someone coming from the tri-state area (Brooklyn NY)...the "Jersey Mike's" sandwich doesn't come anywhere near close to a real New Jersey deli sandwich....not even close....
Of course it doesn’t. Duh! Nobody expects that it would. lol
@@danwilson9530 🥪🥪🥪
They make great sandwiches. #31 is the best
I eat only one thing at JM’s, the Italian! That’s it! 😎👍❤️ My Way, of course 😂
I stay away from all of the chain sandwich rip off joints. They never put enough meat on and usually use shorter rolls then my locally owned places. Only exception is Wawa that while could use more meat have baked in store extra fresh rolls .
Using day old bread for toasted subs makes complete sense. I have no issue with this.
Jersey Mikes isa good choice if you are out of the metropolitan area.If in Jersey its a no go
Day old bread is better toasted than fresh bread.
Best subs come from warren co. NJ!
this must be a subway sponsored infomisinformation. Jersey Mikes is a quality product. Don't know anyone that complains about them other than the high prices.
Did you notice they had no concrete evidence?
I wonder if this person has ever tried Jersey Mike's? I eat there regularly and always enjoy they're sandwiches
They need an option for Italian dressing.
Shocking revelations! If you order some shit that isn't built from the menu, you take your chances with what you get. I was also surprised to find out that if employees fuck up your order and add too much of one thing, it might not taste as good.
Just watch what they are doing closely and then just leave if they made it wrong. They can’t continue doing that because they will be out of business
this video should be titled "reddit users make ridiculous claims about jersey mikes"
I have been only twice. Big disappointment both times. I don’t bother now, i just drive by.
Bread sucks.
I agree the vinegar/olive oil is tasteless.
Your video nailed my disappointment with them.
I don't like it when they don't slice all the way thru the bun. I try to seperate the two halves and the bottom layer of bread disintegrates and messes up the sandwich.
if youre not getting a number 7 youre doing it wrong
You know, honestly, this seems really off. I have always had a really good experience with Jersey Mikes.
I don't know what these people are talking about. I've been getting sandwiches there for years, in a few states. Never had a bad sandwich. I usually don't get oil on my sandwich, but rather not have 100% olive oil...not a fan of the flavor. I like extra vinegar. With millions buying them, doesn't seem like that many problems. Restaurants will use day old bread because it is wasteful to toss it. Will use for a different dish that it doesn't matter. Who doesn't do that at home, too.
To each their own, no matter where you eat. I've had bad meals at some top restaurants and have complained and gotten a replacement.
I work at Jersey Mike's and I can 100% confirm this is some bs 😂. Such misdirection propaganda, lol.
$18.99 a sub...... REALLY??
Yes, exactly. They have sure got cheap lately. So, we quit going. If you pay $20 bucks, you expect a very decent sandwich. Well, not anymore ...
When did a large Italian w/ chips and drinks start costing $15? Prices are to high ie no value any longer. Schlotsky's is worse.
I have tried Jersey Mike’s on 4 different occasions and have yet to understand the hype. It’s not for me and that’s ok. Apparently they have a huge following so it must be me!!
Almost 10 minutes later, still waiting for an actual “shady” practice. Horribly attempt at a hit piece
3:20 How is that shady?? You ask them to make something that's *not on the menu* and then complain when you don't get what you want because they didn't know how to make it?!
7:50 How is offering a brownie that "isn't unique" a shady thing?? They didn't make the chips that you can buy with your sandwich, so why is it shady that they didn't make the brownie?
Thats true. I bought a sub from Jersey Mike's on my lunch break. The bread really tasted stale.
Was this paid for by Subway? Yeah day old bread is better for any Sandwich that has hot ingredients...c'mon man, were making an issue from Jersey Mike's employees that have NEVER cooked anything before they got a job there...duh
God damnit. Just as I started to like this place. Subway it is I guess?
To rich for my blood. I just wanna buy one not pay a arm and a leg. Come on !!!😂😂😂😂
that oil is GARBAGE! toss it in the trash
It’s better than subway.
Obviously, this is a personal attack on Jersey Mike's and not based on facts.
Accurate reporting..... A footlong jersey mike sub cost $18
Seeing as how, none of their subs are toasted this is just bs
I ended up with a hot chicken philly in a to go order by mistake (I had ordered a steak philly). After driving 15 miles back home is when I discovered the mistake. I figured wth and I tried it anyways. I had never had a worse tasting bite of anything in my 65 years than that bite. We have outside cats that patrol the property close to the house for field mice and snakes. They are quite proficient at their jobs. I dumped the sandwich in a bowl in the kitchen and then tore up the bread in small pieces and took it outside to put in their feed bowl. Like cats do (9 of them) they scurried over to see what treat they were getting. They sniffed the sandwich and some of them looked up at me like "what is this?" A few grabbed some pieces and took small bites and then walked away. The possum ate what was basically the whole remaining sandwich later that evening. The cats that eat wildlife wouldn't eat the sandwich.
They just don't like Jersey Mike's and flyover country's politics.
junk food. fake oil??? sad. Danny DeVito must be hard up for $$$
Jersey Mike’s stinks. If you want a good hoagie (subs are what outsiders call them) there’s a million mom and pop local pizza places in South Jersey that beat Jersey Mike’s a million times over.
True enough, but out here on the left commie coast, Jersey Mike’s is the best. I lived in Philly for 40 years so speak from experience. And Subway? Blah!
3 Thinly Slices of Meat - Do Not Make A Sandwich...Seriously Folks...
I'm here in New Jersey. I've heard a couple of people complain that there's more bread than filling. But since I've never eaten there, I can't confirm.
Hopefully they'll sue your ass. 😂
JM sucks the bread is too dense and too thick.
Meat was silly paper thin and got barely any, no thanks never going back.
Omg, please, you make it sound like the worst place on earth to eat a sandwich. I love JM's, thousands of people do, so go easy on all the complaintsl. No place is perfect but you make it sound horrible, which it's not. If you want a perfect sandwich, stay home and make it at your house. Nobody has died from day old rolls, stop it.
Please, please , oh please, stop with the music playing while you are narrating the video.
This video sucks lol. “Jersey Mikes is shady. Our source is Reddit”
at their prices they serve day old crap?? what a rip off
Of course the product is diluted in all aspects of the hoagie, but they are the only shop that offers a full sub for 20.00 and less. Plus...where's the meat?...Reduce the salad.
Wow this video sucks so bad everything pretty much that they're saying is false and you know it's probably coming from another sub company that's paying for this video to be downgrading Jersey Mike's SMH 🤦🤦 what a shit kid move lmao 😂 so sad people have to go to these lengths to make videos like this to downgrade a very very good company that makes very very good Subs and now speaking of this its making me want to go get one right now lol
