Shady Things You Never Knew About The Jersey Mike's Menu 

Do you like Jersey Mike's?

I’m still choosing jersey mikes over subway anytime

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.

This is such a bizarre hit piece that just made me crave Jersey Mike’s anyway.

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.

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.

Nothing wrong with day old bread, it’s better toasted

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.

Although your objective was the opposite, you just made me go to Jersey Mike's for dinner. Hope you enjoy those sour grapes.

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.

Love Jersey Mike's

How about their $2 fee for placing your order on their app mixed within “taxes and fees “ like everyone else .

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.

2000 mg Sodium for a regular philly. That's not "fresh"; it's preserved.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Oh well, I guess no more Jersey Mikes for me or subway.

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.

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....

Had an interview there last week, they only hire young people and the manager that interviewed me just turned 21.

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. ✌️

I’m gonna watch it again and count times “alleged” was said

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!

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.

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.

Olive oil, canola oil, motor oil, if it tastes great, eat it. Jersey mikes rocks.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

GOD BLAST! You can’t trust Subway, Quiznos, Jersey Mikes, or anyone; might as well just give it up! 🍴🙄

A new Jersey Mikes is killing it in my city. Much better than Subway.

I love the beef Big Kahuna.

Using day old bread for toasted subs makes complete sense. I have no issue with this.

I prefer Jersey Mike's over Subway which was bought by Roark Capital which is a lovely private equity firm.

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 think their subs are very good ! This must be sponsored by Subway .

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 .

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.

Mike's way , 60 years, mayo no oil!

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!

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.

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.

Gimme a number 56 Big Kahuna! Oh yeah 👍

I wonder if this person has ever tried Jersey Mike's? I eat there regularly and always enjoy they're sandwiches

So what love jersey mikes

Still gonna have my Jersey Mikes sub. Buffalo Chicken sub…yummy.

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.

this video should be titled "reddit users make ridiculous claims about jersey mikes"

Jersey Mikes isa good choice if you are out of the metropolitan area.If in Jersey its a no go

Day old bread is actually better for hot sandwiches.

i live in north jersey… Jersey mikes is 🔥 lol

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.

They need an option for Italian dressing.

I eat only one thing at JM’s, the Italian! That’s it! 😎👍❤️ My Way, of course 😂

They make great sandwiches. #31 is the best

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. 👎

You know, honestly, this seems really off. I have always had a really good experience with 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.

$18.99 a sub...... REALLY??

Day old bread is better toasted than fresh bread.

Better than subway

None of this is a problem for me. I’m still a huge Jm fan.

I work at Jersey Mike's and I can 100% confirm this is some bs 😂. Such misdirection propaganda, lol.

Im disappointed with their "olive oil" now. Seed oil causes inflammation

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.

Interesting

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?

if youre not getting a number 7 youre doing it wrong

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.

Best subs come from warren co. NJ!

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!!

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

that oil is GARBAGE! toss it in the trash

Almost 10 minutes later, still waiting for an actual “shady” practice. Horribly attempt at a hit piece

I eat at the Jersey Mike's in my hometown. the staff and the service has always been excellent.

God damnit. Just as I started to like this place. Subway it is I guess?

Your quote "According to a handful of employees". Almost 20,000 employees and your taking a handful "5" accusing Jersey Mikes of shady things to make a video??

Obviously, this is a personal attack on Jersey Mike's and not based on facts.

Seeing as how, none of their subs are toasted this is just bs

They just don't like Jersey Mike's and flyover country's politics.

To rich for my blood. I just wanna buy one not pay a arm and a leg. Come on !!!😂😂😂😂

3 Thinly Slices of Meat - Do Not Make A Sandwich...Seriously Folks...

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.

Ive been there once...will never return sub sucked and way OVER PRICED

It’s better than subway.

Thats true. I bought a sub from Jersey Mike's on my lunch break. The bread really tasted stale.

Accurate reporting..... A footlong jersey mike sub cost $18

JM sucks the bread is too dense and too thick.

Hopefully they'll sue your ass. 😂

Meat was silly paper thin and got barely any, no thanks never going back.

junk food. fake oil??? sad. Danny DeVito must be hard up for $$$

Are you guys paid to bash Jerseys Mike's?
