Jersey Mike's Subs — Restaurant in Lillington

When Jersey Mike’s opened in Lillington, my first reaction was, “That’s a strange spot for a sandwich shop.” Still, I decided to give it a try. I went in today and ordered two regular Mushroom and Swiss subs with extra Portobello mushrooms (which cost an additional dollar and change per sandwich).

When I got my food and saw the total, over $24, I was stunned. The sandwiches were tiny. When I got home, I actually put them on a scale. The heaviest one was only 7.5 ounces. For that price, I expected something substantial, not a sub that’s 70% bread and barely any filling. Even with the “extra” mushrooms, it didn’t look like they added any more than the standard amount.

To put it in perspective, I’m a 6-foot, 200-pound man. A lunch that actually fills me up usually weighs 16 to 24 ounces. These two sandwiches together didn’t even hit that, and they didn’t come with chips or a drink.

I asked the cashier how business was going. She hesitated, then said things have been pretty slow. Honestly, that doesn’t surprise me. Between the odd location and ridiculous prices for undersized food, I won’t be going back.

A single large sandwich costs over $17 — and might weigh just 1 pound. That’s insane.

$17 for a sandwich? Are you kidding me?

UPDATE: I would have expected at the very least an incentive to return and not a plainly apparent cut and paste...

Aight, lemme put y’all on real quick: Gwen at Jersey Mike’s? Certified sandwich sorceress 🧙‍♀️🥪. I rolled in just tryna grab a sub, but Gwen turned that into a whole vibe. She greeted me like I was the long-lost cousin from a sitcom reunion — “Heyyy, welcome in!” — and I swear I heard theme music. She was slicing that turkey like it owed her money, stacking lettuce like she was building a skyscraper, and still had time to hit me with a “You want extra pickles, fam?” Gwen knew. She’s got that sixth sense for sandwich customization. I didn’t even have to speak — she read my hunger like a book. Gwen didn’t just serve a sub, she served emotional support with a side of chips. If Jersey Mike’s had a loyalty program based on vibes, Gwen would be platinum-tier. I’d trust her to officiate my wedding, run my fantasy football team, and pick my Spotify playlist. Gwen, you’re the MVP of meat and mood. 5 stars, no...

It's a sub place, and the food is amazing. That being said, the reason I'm leaving a review is the staff. My girlfriend and I have gotten food here roughly 5 times in the last six months, to say I've rarely seen the same staff twice. She has a severe dairy allergy. Every time I've come in and said as much the staff immediately takes measures to make sure our food is contaminant free, with no stress or attitude. I know it's a pain, but they make me feel like it's just another day and no effort. The place is being run right, and the staff are top notch. Keep doing what you're doing, and the attention to detail isn't unseen. 10/10 would recommend this...
