<p>We just had one open up (well, the grand opening won’t be until next week) in our area.</p>
<p>Any opinions on this chain from those who have had them for a while? Can you compare them to any other sub chain (Subway, Jimmy Johns, Quizno’s, etc.)?</p>
<p>It was started in NJ by my high school English teacher. The subs are good. The bread is excellent.</p>
<p>so did you ever get free subs?</p>
<p>I was lucky to get out of English alive.</p>
<p>Here is my dad’s statement to my mom- no teacher hates a kid for no reason your son must have done something.</p>
<p>Okay subs, better than many franchises. But still a franchise. Not as good as Firehouse Subs.</p>
<p>Funny, I live in NJ and never heard of it!</p>
<p>They started in NJ by the shore. Every store has a NJ map. They even have one in Soldatna, AK. Good subs for a chain.</p>
<p>MY s is a big Subway fan, but prefers to grab a Jersey Mike’s sub when we are nearby. They are a little pricey, but good!</p>
<p>new here, visited after seeing a TV show about the elusive real Philly sub. Bad sanitaion with the franchise, bad attitude with the employees…
Never again</p>
<p>I like Jersey Mike’s a lot…it’s certainly way better than Subway. They fresh-slice the meat and cheese right in front of you while they’re making your sub. I like Jimmy John’s a lot too, because their bread is delicious and it’s really fast.</p>
<p>If I had to rank them, it would be something like: Jersey Mike’s/Jimmy John’s > Firehouse/Quiznos >>>>>>>>>>>> Subway.</p>
<p>omg…lol…good luck to you guys,…tough market to break into in nj/jy…its not like there aren’t 10000000000000 italians living here, lol…sorry</p>
<p>so? what do you do that could be special? i feel bad…but, i’d feel worse knowing u poured alot of money into a losing enterprise.</p>
<p>we have dear friends who had an extremely thriving “italian” take/in full bar restaraunt in NW NJ
There is no doubt that the food is excellent…location…iffy…staff…excellent
economy? huh!</p>
<p>These people had a restaraunt in NJ for over 30 yrs…4 yrs ago, decided to make it a full restaraunt:(</p>
<p>Economy turned…their location turned off…they will probably need to go under too:(</p>
<p>It breaks my heart cause I see this over and over in my area</p>
<p>Jersey Mike’s - not a fan…</p>
<p>If you ever live in the sub wasteland that is the Northwest you will appreciate Jersey Mike’s as at least being a good imitation of a good east coast sub. What we do have is the Vietnamese sub known as the Bahn Mi which is just outstanding in its own way. First, they get the bread right. The contents are totally different from a typical US sub but make a delicious and light sub style sandwich. I could eat them every day.</p>

<p>Much better than Subway. One just opened near my office and they gave free subs for a couple of days (well, $1 donation to breast cancer fund). The line was around the block. Why do I always think I am going to be the only one with the great idea of using the coupon for a free sub?<br>
They slice the meat fresh and the bread is great. Still not a Philadelphia hoagie, but pretty darn good.</p>
<p>Live in NJ, spend time in both ends of it, and also never heard of it. Either I need to get out more, or they need to up their PR budget.</p>
<p>Then again, if you live in NJ, you don’t need to go to a chain for good subs.</p>
<p>The original location–Pt Pleasant in the 50’s. Like many big franchises they started with just one store and people wanted another one closer to home.</p>

<p>Can anyone compare/contrast Jersey Mikes vs Baldino’s subs?</p>
<p>We have had Jersey Mike’s here (NC) for years. We think it is better than Subway and Quizno’s though it is more expensive. The JM’s subs are way more “meaty” than Subway. We’ve only been to Firehouse Subs once and thought the subs OK but pretty small for the price. Maybe it was just that particular store,IDK. The JM’s in our suburb does a booming business. S2’s Jersey Mike’s t-shirt is one of his faves. It has a map of area locations on the back with our town on it.</p>
