Jersey Mike's Subs — Restaurant in Manteo

I worked at a Jersey Mike’s in NC for 12 years. I managed a store, trained plenty of hires, and even got direct training from the franchise higher-ups. I know how these stores are supposed to run.

Because of that, I’m usually a little let down when I visit most locations.

And even when I come in to order at the counter, I happen to run into my orders being wrong occasionally as well. They’re usually super good about remaking my order when I come in, but it’s a bit annoying to have to keep returning every time because they forget the type of bread I ordered or even gave me the wrong sub entirely.

Great staff with excellent customer service and attitude. I come back time and time again because the service is unmatched. This is just one area that could use some...

I’ve experienced a mixed bag at the Jersey Mike’s in Manteo. First time the store had just opened, there was a slew of employees working and they were weighing all the meat to make sure portions were right. The next time I ordered online and the sandwich was not nearly as well put together as the first time. I ordered online again a couple days ago, this time a twelve inch sub; I was quite disappointed. The meat portion was definitely light as were the toppings, no onion and no vinegar/oil. For over $20, I expect better. Looks like I’ll have to stand in line and observe it being made if I want...
