Jersey Mike's Subs — Restaurant in La Marque

I'm giving this one 5 stars because there honestly was nothing major I had yo complain about. The worst possible thing I could say, would be that I didn't prefer their Stubborn brand Root Beer. I drank it and it wasn't terrible, but wasn't what I thought it would be either. The drink aside, my wife and ordered The Original Italian, giant sized on rosemary and parm bread. They don't have a variety of things to put on your sandwich, but that's not bad. It actually makes it easier. We were both impressed with watching as the meat was put in a slicer and then straight to our sandwich. So you know it hasn't been sitting out all it's fresh cut. We had it "Mike's way", I believe is what the Sandwich Smith called it. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles, with oil and vinegar, then salt and pepper. And he didn't just do a little sprinkle here and there. He splashed that vinegar over the whole sandwich and then did the same with the oil, salt and pepper. It was kinda nice to see it just thrown on there like it was meaningful art! The sandwich too, wasn't this thin limp looking thing. It was seriously stacked and bigger than a foot!

Then there's the taste. It was soon good. I could eat one of these 2 or 3 times a week. I may have gone a little overboard with my onions, cause did tell him as he was making it to a little extra, which he did happily. It been a couple hours and I'm still Tasting those onions, that I'm sure were cut in that slicer. They were very thin cut, very long pieces.

The price was a little more than what you'd pay another sub place, but it didn't bother me so much considering how good it was. We're planning on going back soon. ...

The big guy who took my money never changed his gloves in the 30 min I was in the restaurant- he prepared food, packaged food and took money all in the same gloves, as well as was wearing dirty beaded wrist bands. The tables were all dirty and no one ever came out to clean them. It’s obvious that the owners don’t keep up with equip as the knives they are using are so dull they are just tearing the sandwiches/breads apart. 6 employees working with what looked like 3 knew what they were doing. I was handed the wrong food as the staff was confused- thankfully they realized the mistake but it did cost them a sandwich as I had already opened the one they handed me. My cash payment was “rounded up” for 65 cents, not sure what that’s for or why it was done. When I asked the cashier he said “oops I thought it was only 2 cents”… I used to think that the food was worth the money but a single sandwich and drink is $14, not sure that it’s truly worth the price anymore, especially where the...

I really wanted to give them (la Marque, tx location) a good review. I like shopping local. But when you go in and they tell you they just cleaned the cold area, so they are only willing to make you hot subs, that’s a bit frustrating.

I walked in there at least 20 minutes prior to them closing. Do all the locations only make certain food after hour? Do they have a menu for the last hour they are open? That may be helpful for my next visit.

Edit: we’ve frequented this establishment a few times since and service has been much better. A few after my original review my wife went in and spoke with the store manager, and the topic came up that she was associated with the review. The store manager said that he took care of that problem and it wouldn’t be an issue moving forward.

He also didn’t try to buy our business by giving us anything free for the inconvenience; I appreciated that. The service (now) and food quality is enough to be...
