Jersey Mike's Subs — Restaurant in Davenport

I liked the Jersey Mike's in Bettendorf. I still believe they are a great addition to the businesses on 53rd street. Today I had an errand in Davenport near Eastern Avenue and saw they have a location near Kimberly Road and Jersey Ridge Road near Fresh Thyme Market and the IHMVCU Branch. I needed lunch at the time and a Philly steak sandwich sounded good.

Ordering my sandwich was just as easy as the location in Bettendorf. I talked with the gentleman at the counter, took my ticket, got a bag of Cheetos and a drink and paid at the register. After sitting down at one of the tables, I had my sandwich in a matter of minutes.

Many of the trappings of the Bettendorf location are also present at this Jersey Mike's. The same lightly weathered looking wood laminate floor is present, as is the horizontal beadboarding along most of the interior. Most of the remainder of the walls are painted a light blue, with the color continuing into the kitchen area in the form of a similar colored subway tile. The same or similar wall decorations are here as well in the form of three panel photos framed within hanging beach chairs of what appears to be different images of the Jersey shoreline. It all mostly comes together to give a interior designer's vision of the Jersey shore in a sandwich shop.

There are a few things that detract from the overall aesthetics of the space, however. Most noticeably, the ceiling plenum is exposed in this location, allowing full view of the corrugated steel and supports, HVAC ductwork, and conduit running throughout the space. This isn't a bad look and otherwise works visually with the rest of the space. Functionally, however, it does not adequately support the noise level appropriate to the dining area. A TV was on in the corner playing an NFL game during my entire visit. The noise from this combined with the un-dampened conversations and interactions of every person also in the space contributed to a light cacophony that was not enjoyable while I was eating.

The lighting, while not offensive or otherwise harsh, is kind of schizophrenic in it's application. Recessed fixtures provide adequate illumination around the counter area. The majority of the dining area, however, is lit by a combination of 4 foot florescent fixtures suspended from the ceiling and incandescent bulbs on fixtures over several of the wall art images. None of it ties together and just feels a bit off when taken in collectively.

That all being said, I enjoyed my Mike's Famous Philly. The sandwich was of the expected quality that I've had at other locations and I'd continue ordering it in the future. Given the shortfalls of the atmosphere in the dining area of this particular location, I'd probably get my sandwich to go next time. Thanks for the good...

Stopped in tonight after my son's baseball ceremony for the first time ever! The staff was by far the friendliest outgoing staff I have encounter in ANY business from as far back as I can remember. I did not receive any names BUT ultimately that's irrelevant cause the entire staff was so friendly and helpful! They offered us drinks and chips on the house due to it being our first visit. Orriganly I was only getting myself a single sandwich because my son wanted something else. I walked out with 3 sandwiches that all tasted as great as the service!!

On another note Jersey Mikes has another meaning behind it, for me that is. 3 years ago my neighbor named Mike passed away in a car accident leaving behind his 5yr old daughter, Jersey, whom we were able to get temporary custody over at the time. Driving past this place a few months back i caught the name out of the corner of my eye and his "song" we played at the funeral came on right after. I've wanted to try Jersey Mikes since then but I just never found the courage to go. Tonight was the perfect night to go in. The atmosphere and the service the staff provided couldn't have reminded me of Jersey and her father, Mike, anymore than it did. From how welcoming, to how out going, and the efforts of willingness the staff had to help its customers seemed all so natural. I couldn't be...

I love love love me some Jersey mikes, the last time I went into the store before work they weighed my sandwich and it was 2 LBS, I always get the same thing a #3 ham and cheese.. lettuce, tomato, extra pickle, extra Banana peppers, some jalapeños, mayo, olive oil and vinegar … best sandwich ever.. I stopped going to subway because I never got enough condiments on my sandwich.. subway limits the amount now and there meats and cheese are not fresh.. I also really love your brand of Rootbeer.. I choose Jersey Mikes now.. love you guys.. I only wish you guys would have a store over here on the west end of Davenport closer to my house by west Kimberly Hy-Vee so I come more often. You guys should really think about expanding your business.. I have also heard from some of my co-workers that they also love your restaurant. ❤️ stay fresh!! Don’t stop giving the customers...
