Jersey Mike's Subs — Restaurant in San Mateo

when i walked in around noon (051017), the place had franchise written all over. gathering my bearings, there is a separate dining area with a tv perched on the south west corner. Giants were playing the Mets in Queens, but the tv was tuned to ESPN. Giants win 6-5 ... back to the food.

ordering was simple, but the cashier asked a bunch of "selling" questions like do i have a "shore" card. she spoke so fast i could not understand her. selling first time customers is not the way to build customers or gain repeat business.

i ordered a giant 17 with a 20 oz Aquafina totaling $18.68--dining in. no requests, just straight off the menu board.

meat was dry with no grease at all. grease enhances flavor in my view. white cheese was non existent. bread was not dense, but flakey with no consistency. you could tell everything was weighed and measured. wonder if their establishment in 1956 weighed and measured everything?

i killed this "giant" 17 in about a minute leading me to this review.

moving on to the latrine (before i ate). you had to ask for a key which was attached to a car license plate. can you imagine the germs?!?! inside their latrine was spotless. i left the key hanging in the lock while inside, using a large fold of paper towel to return it to the counter.

and as a sidenote, their latrine is smack right in the center between the dining area and the ordering counter, almost slapping you in the face when you walk in. man oh man ...!

two stars. hey, peter cancro,...

I was standing in line at the new sandwich place. I think I was second in line the guy was making sandwiches there's only one worker. A guy comes in a black kid in his 20s he was a maintenance worker out front or something like that somewhere came in to use the bathroom. The worker starts yelling at him that the bathrooms are for customers only and as he's quickly almost into the bathroom already the guy throws up his hands and starts running from around that behind the counter for when he's making sandwiches to go chase the guy into the bathroom. I was like OMG, I can't believe it. If a guy's about to make me sandwiches I don't want to see him fighting with some guy in the bathroom. I said something like I think the guy can use my bathroom pass I'm not going to use the bathroom I'm buying something but I decided not to buy anything decided never to go back there again. I found out later from someone else that the one worker the only worker that was making sandwiches was the owner. That's the saint Mateo Jersey Mike's across the street from Hillsdale Mall. There's a Subway two more blocks...

Jersey Mike's Subs truly lives up to its stellar reputation. On my recent visit, I ordered the Italian Mike's Way, and I was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. The staff prepared the sandwich right before my eyes, meticulously slicing the fresh meats and carefully assembling them on the bread. The attention to detail and commitment to using high-quality, fresh ingredients was evident in every step of the process.

The sandwich was generously seasoned and expertly crafted, resulting in an absolutely delicious meal. The flavors were well-balanced, and each bite was a testament to the care and skill that goes into making every sandwich at Jersey Mike's.

The service was friendly and efficient, ensuring that my order was taken and prepared promptly. The staff's dedication to customer satisfaction was apparent throughout my visit.

Overall, I highly recommend Jersey Mike's Subs to anyone looking for a top-notch sandwich experience. The combination of fresh ingredients, expert preparation, and excellent service makes Jersey Mike's a standout choice for a quick, tasty meal. Great job,...
