Jersey Mike's Subs — Restaurant in Palm Desert

I grew up in New Jersey. Our annual summer treks 'down the shore' to Seaside Heights for our family vacations included steamed clams, corn on the cob, saltwater taffy, and submarine sandwiches. Three 'subs' cut in half could feed a family of six. In Seaside we'd walk over to Sam's Subs, and if we were in Point Pleasant, you went to Mike's.

I arrived in Palm Springs and left my iPhone charger at home. As I pulled into the Best Buy parking lot, I saw Jersey Mike's out of the corner of my eye. I was feeling nostalgic and thought "I have to try Jersey Mike's" in Palm Desert, California.

I had the #13 Original Italian (Regular Size) and I was transported back to the Jersey Shore. What sets the submarine sandwiches from New Jersey apart from everywhere else is the seasoning and the secret sauce (vinaigrette). From the bread to the trimmings and the deli meats, Jersey Mike's gets it right. I loved it and will be back again. If you see a bad review, it's likely due to not liking the flavor profile of a Jersey Sub. If you don't like vinegar, you won't like the sub. It's that simple.

Jersey Mike's is 100 times better than Subway. No green unripe tomatoes here. This is what a sub sandwich is supposed to taste like. For a taste of the garden state - you gotta check out Jersey Mike's in...

Jersey Mike's in my own opinion is the In-N-Out out of sandwiches. They truly mark the definition of Fresh unlike all these other sandwich chains that claim to be Fresh, Jersey Mike's slices out the meat in front of you on top of your choice of a white Italian roll, Rosemary parmesan roll, wheat roll, or spinach / whole wheat wraps all freshly baked that day. They also have a great Hot Sub menu that features their famous Philly cheesesteak. It consists of thinly sliced ribeye that is thrown on the grill with a combination of grilled onion and sweet peppers. They also have a really good secret menu that is highly saw over when it comes to the regulars that come in all the time. I highly recommend this place for any sandwich connoisseur, or anyone trying to find a new Sandwich Spot, or just looking for a really great place to eat and you don't know what to go eat. I guarantee you won't go to any other place after you visit...

I always use Jersey Mikes for subs. Not new to the routine. I know this is a fairly new one and closer to me. So I went it was terrible there was a line. No problem always a line but we they ask me if I knew what I wanted. Yea a #13. What bread Wheat. Normally they finish the one and the start mine.They made 2 of the regulars I didn’t realize one was mine. They finished the first and ask me what I wanted in it. Line getting longer so I told them. What a mess of a sandwich. ( when I got home it was t cut through the bottom everything needed to be put back together the top want lined up with the top and meat so the bottom was about 1 1/2 inch long. The sad part of this is I wanted 3 giants but after seeing them made I wasn’t going to stand in line again. I went and got everyone pizza for lunch and explained why. Guess I’ll eat it...
