Why I'll take Jersey Mike's over Subway every time

When it comes to grabbing a sub, I’m choosing Jersey Mike’s over Subway every time — and it’s not even close.

First, let’s talk about flavor. Jersey Mike’s meats and cheeses are sliced fresh right in front of you. You can taste the difference. The bread’s got that perfect balance of crusty and soft, and the toppings — from vinegary lettuce to juicy tomatoes — feel like they came from an actual deli, not a food court.

But it’s not just about the food. The customer service always feels a notch above. The workers at Jersey Mike’s seem like they care — not just going through the motions. And “Mike’s Way” adds that extra zing you didn’t know your sandwich needed.

Subway might have more locations, but that doesn’t make them better. The cold cuts feel processed, the bread’s hit-or-miss, and let’s be honest — “Eat Fresh” hasn’t meant much in a long time.

When I want a sandwich that actually tastes like a sandwich, I head to Jersey Mike’s. Quality wins. Every time.
