Jersey Mike's Subs — Restaurant in Cottage Grove

Since moving to the area, this is my go-to restaurant for a number of reasons. The staff is always incredibly friendly, they approach every customer with a smile and energy and happiness and humor. It's not easy to work in the service industry, but these guys and gals tackle it with incredible positivity. Cracking jokes with one another and the customers, no fear in engaging in conversation and trailing down rabbit holes of whatever topic might be in front of them, they are fantastic at working the crowd and making each person feel valued. Whenever I'm too busy to go inside the store and wait in line, I order online, and the staff has remembered my name and have often taken to writing fun greetings on my order, which brightens my day!

Aside from their stellar customer service, I have yet to experience anything other than a great sandwich here. You might expect every now and then to have an average sub, or below average sub, but in my experience I have only had great sandwiches here. Always a plentiful amount of toppings, fresh meat, wrapped well, and packaged with perfection.

Also, and at this point it should go without saying, but their catering is great too!

Thanks Marissa, Gabe, Alaysia (I hope I spelled it right?), and all the other staff whose names I'm still trying to nail down. Y'all are incredible. Find me on Instagram if you'd like, you are all people I'd love to be friends with!

10/10, would rate higher but it's mathematically...

I love this Jersey Mike’s location!

Every time I come in they are always so friendly to me and all the other guests

I always like to order my food a special way and these guys always give me exactly what I order

Not every time, but often when I visit other fast food stores I order what I want and I often get what they want to give me

Today I am here at Mikes and they are giving 100% of every sale to the Special Olympics. (The Special Olympics will be held in 2026 in Minnesota, and Mikes is a major sponsor.)

I really love that Mikes is donating 100% of every sale today. But keep in mind that Mikes still needs to pay the their team and all the other bills at the same time. That means that Mikes is losing a boatload of money.

But that is why I came here today because I remembered that fact from the ad that I saw and I wanted to do my part.

And I will return to Mikes as much as I can.

Yay...

I was SO excited to have one of these coming to CG but to be honest, I've been disappointed so far

Pros: The food is fresh and very good. They are also so good about food allergies. My son has a wheat allergy and they are great about taking precautions

Cons: More expensive than other JM locations in the area. All their subs cost more than the Woodbury locations, they don't participate in Kids Eat Free Sundays and I just bought a $25 coupon card that essentially worthless. Has more rules and stipulations than a pharmaceutical ad (see pic). To get 1 "free" (card was $25) sandwich per quarter you need to basically go 3x per month and buy stuff. That's not a deal. They seem to work VERY hard at not giving out any deals which is disappointing and a big reason many families stop in. Unless something changes, I will be driving to Woodbury from...
