Jersey Mike’s Subs

Whitewater’s best choice for a real sub… If you order a cold cut, Jersey Mikes slices it fresh in front of you heck, the roast beef is freshly cooked on site. They even make Philly cheesesteaks grilled up fresh.
Try the Club Supreme, Big Kahuna Cheesesteak, or the Chicken Parm. The crew is also friendly. Sure the dining area could be cleaner but, keep in mind that it’s a fast food joint-​they usually have Sports Center on and good music playing. Not too shabby…

I’m a little surprised by the negative reviews. I’ve been there over a dozen times throughout the year and have never had an issue with the quality of food or employees. I’m also a fan of Jimmy John’s, but prefer the Mike’s sandwich. That said, it does take longer for a Mike’s sandwich to be prepared than JJ, so you should expect a wait during the lunch rush.

I don’t get the appeal of this place. Maybe I haven’t found their specialty, but I don’t get the impression that the employees are going to give me a hint. I had the Philly Cheese Steak, figuring that seemed like the choice. It really just made me miss Steak Escape in the mall… And that’s probably not a compliment if I think about it. Jimmy Johns is still my go-​to stop… It is fast and predictable but most of all, the staff there is great.

Gross.

THE WORST EVER. Seriously. Save your money, your time, and your taste buds because it’s the lamest excuse for a sub shop ever. The manager was rude to me, the service was glacial at best, and above all the food tastes like cardboard. Head over to Jimmy John’s, Subway, or the gas station down the road. This place sucks I wish they added a Starbucks instead.

When first walking into Jersey Mike’s (at 2:00 in the afternoon) my mother and I were greeted by a sandwich maker who seemed a little annoyed when we said we didn’t know what we wanted yet because it was our first time in. (As a side note, this would have been a great opportunity to suggest a sandwich, or tell us what the most popular one is!) After I placed my order, my cup was taken off of the stack of upside down cups, turned right side up, and handed to me by the cashier. He stuck is fingers in the cup to hold it out to me. This is a huge pet peeve of mine especially after someone handles money.
I then turned my attention to the guy making my mother’s sandwich. I noticed that instead of making your sandwich on the paper it will be wrapped in, they make your sandwich on a cutting board. When the sandwich gets picked up to wrap it, lettuce falls off onto the cutting board. That’s fine, because it looked like there was a small receptacle on the counter to sweep the fallen vegetables into. Instead of doing what I thought he would, the guy swept the lettuce into a pile and then put it back into the container with the lettuce that had yet to be put on a sandwich.
When we sat down to eat, we realized that the floor was dirty, tabletops were not cleaned, and the soda (both of the flavors that we had) did not taste very good.
As for the food, the bread was very fresh (soft, not dried out) and tasted pretty good. The roast beef was tasteless, and the meatballs were nothing to write home about. (I should also mention that if you order a meatball sub you won’t be asked if you want any vegetables on it, so unless you mention that when you order it you’ll get no other toppings.)
All in all, for about $ 10 a person (for a medium sub, chips, and soda) I expected much more than I received. This is not an establishment I plan on frequenting.
