Jersey Mike's Subs

Critic's Review

Something familiar in Las Vegas is Jersey Mike's subs; they're all over the east coast and I've had many subs here. Join Mike's email club and they'll load enough points on your birthday to buy a regular sub; no restrictions and you don't have to use the point in 3 days or a week. Today I used my birthday points.

I ordered on their website; it's easier to configure a sub online rather than yelling ingredients over a counter. The app said it would be ready in 10 minutes.

As it turns out, I was 11 minutes away, as I arrived 1 minutes after the "Ready" time.

But when I announced I was picking up, I got this

They haven't made it yet, it will be 5-10 minutes

Fantastic. So I got to sit in the store for 10 minutes while they made my sandwich.

I'd ordered the "Original Italian", hold the lettuce. Or so I thought.The bag is pretty generic.

First impression was that it looked like solid ingredients; ripe tomatoes. Usually when someone asks for banana peppers on the side that don't also want them on the sandwich. But there was stuff missing here. I'd made a mistake while ordering.

When you're building your sandwich you can go "custom" to add or subtract ingredients. I assumed the default was fully loaded, but it's not. So in my haste to exclude the dreaded shredded lettuce, I'd forgotten to add onions, mustard and mayo.

Luckily I had those things in my fridge, so I was able to add them to get the sub that I was hoping for when.I ordered.

Conclusion

Aside from the shredded lettuce, I've always liked Jersey Mikes. Not great; they're Philly's are "OK" and their Italians are a bit above average. Not sure I'll be here again before my birthday next year; but a worthy choice for a sub east of the strip.
