Mike's Subs — Restaurant in Hamilton

What is a sub shop doing with a lotto machine? I go there to buy a roast beef sub and wait there a half hour while the person in front of me buys two subs and then proceeds to do his lotto winnings. The girl working behind the counter shorts him one winning ticket. It's apparent that she does not know how to use it. He then asks for his other winning ticket and she goes oh ya and gives him the second one. Then when he tries to pay on the debit machine he is unable to complete his transaction because the top keys on it are not working. She struggles with it for a 5 minutes calls the owner and then manages to get it to operate. He pays and leaves. I then ask her for a roast beef sub and she tells me that they are all out of roast beef! A sub place should stick to making subs. Not Lotto! It's also obvious from looking at the debit machine that the keypad is old and a call needs to be made.to have it replaced. It's a simple phone call for a free service visit. There is no excuse for it being in that condition. Also, I was there at 2 in the afternoon for my roast beef sub there is no excuse for them to be out of roast beef...

This location is nothing like Ottawa St or the Fennell location. We ordered from here a couple of years ago b/c my husband grew up around the corner and this was his local Mike's. The subs were dry and comically cheap on toppings, we decided not to return. Yesterday, my best friend was in the hospital after having just had a baby and she wanted an Ottawa st Mike's sub since she hasn’t been able to have deli meat throughout the pregnancy. My husband was coming from Flamborough so he stopped at the Upper James location out of convenience. When he told me where he was I said “that’s the bad location”. He assured me that it was new owners, it looked clean and the man working was very nice. Unfortunately, it was everything I remembered from before. The meat was as thin as you could cut it and the toppings were barely there. Each half had 2 pickle coins. I ended up taking all of the toppings and putting them on one half to make it edible. We bought 4 assorted subs, 2 chocolate milks and a pop for $42.66. So disappointing that they don’t provide the same quality as the...

Literally the worst sub I have ever, ever EVER had. If there's one thing I hate more than crappy food, it's feeling ripped-off. Well look no further than Mike's Subs where you can get crappy food AND feel ripped-off in the process. The sub I ordered, "The Rockerfeller", is a disgusting little wet mound of the world's cheapest "ham" (mystery-meat?) and what might have been half-decent roast beef once upon a time. To that he generously (HA!!!) added a few slivers of onion and the mildest hot-peppers to ever greet a tongue. It wasn't tasteless - that would have been a saving grace. Instead it tasted HORRIBLE, like something wasn't right. Probably the weird wet pressed-ham product. AND IT COST ME EIGHT DOLLARS?!! Are you kidding me? Add to all this that the place looks and feels dirty. I should have double-checked to see if the old dude actually washed his hands before he made this abomination. Avoid at all costs. There are much better places. Hell, I'd rather eat a week-old hotdog off...
