Jersey Mike\u2019s is a popular mainland chain that has finally made the move across the Pacific. It is unknown whether Jersey Mike’s\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>plans on opening any more Hawai\u02bbi locations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n First impressions are critical, because the customer does not know what to expect when stepping into a store for the first time. \u00a0After stepping into Jersey Mike\u2019s, I immediately recognized that it was a clean place to eat.\u00a0. There was also a television showing ESPN to keep people dining in entertained. There are 8 tables with 4 chairs per table. This means 32 people could dine in at one time. \u00a0However, I went in late at night so there was only two other people dining in with me. <\/span><\/p>\n The staff is young and very energetic. Upon walking in, I was greeted and the workers displayed excellent customer service by giving me a detailed explanation of their menu as I decided what to order. As I ate, the TV kept me entertained, which was an added bonus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jersey Mike\u2019s offers hot and cold subs in a regular or giant size. Think of the regular as a 6\u00a0inch and the giant as a footlong. I would recommend getting the giant size since you get a greater value per 6 inches of sub.\u00a0 <\/span>The 6 inch sub costs about $9.90, but the giant costs $15. <\/span><\/p>\n While paying, Jersey Mike\u2019s offers the opportunity to donate a few dollars to charity. \u00a0I found this unique since most restaurants in the area do not offer donations at the register.\u00a0<\/span>Jersey Mike\u2019s also offers a rewards system.\u00a0 <\/span>However, since I was just there to try it once\u00a0I did not sign up. But, if\u00a0you enjoy the subs it could save you a few dollars off an expensive sub by building up rewards points for every sub you eat. If you \u00a0don\u2019t enjoy ordering in store, you are still able to order online through their website and pick up your food from the store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jersey Mike’s\u00a0offers grilled chicken, steak, and chipotle chicken\/steak subs. All subs come with cheese, onions and pepper. When you receive your sub, it comes in a foil wrap.\u00a0<\/strong>I think they could improve on this because it looks cheap and less presentable as a quality food. Fortunately for Jersey Mike\u2019s and I, looks can be deceiving. <\/span><\/p>\n I ordered the steak and cheese sub and was blown away by its taste. The quality of the meat is much better than Subway. Also, Jersey Mike’s\u00a0custom sauce blows away any sauce that subway offers. I am not sure what goes into the\u00a0sauce after only one eat, but next time I will try to learn the ingredients. However,\u00a0the steep price tag may keep me from going there often.<\/span><\/p>\n My delicious steak and cheese sub.

Jersey Mike\u2019s only offers 1 bread, which could send people back to Subway. Not to mention Jersey Mike’s\u00a0$15 price tag for one footlong sub.<\/span><\/p>\n However, Jersey Mike\u2019s reigns superior meats and sauce. In the end, Subway’s\u00a0cheap prices\u00a0<\/strong>leads me to believe that Subway will be the sub restaurant of choice. However, Jersey Mike\u2019s does give Hawai\u02bbi residents a delicious alternative to prevent our taste buds from going stale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jersey Mike’s review: By Chaz Au | Staff Writer Congratulations Hawai\u02bbi, we have an alternative choice to choose wear we eat subs.
