Turnpike Mike’s is not the easiest place to find, but it’s worth the search. It’s about 25 miles or 40 minutes from where I live in Sunset Pointe. Two years ago, we had been to Turnpike Mike’s when they had another store on Rte 200 in Ocala, so we knew what to expect and we were looking forward to it.
The guy at the next table highly recommended the Mama Mia meatball hero. It looked great.
My buddies both enjoyed their Turnpike sandwiches (“Grilled mild Italian sausage topped with sauteed peppers and onions, served on our signature garlic toasted roll 10.99 / Junior 8.99”).
I had a cold sandwich, the Arthur Avenue (“Sopressata, mortadella, genoa salami, hot capicola, thinly sliced prosciutto, provolone, and fresh mozzarella topped with roasted red peppers marinated in fresh garlic and extra virgin olive oil Whole 19.49 / Half 12.49 / Junior 10.49”). It was very good. Knowing what to expect, I ordered the “Junior” and still brought home half of it.

Half of an Arthur Avenue "Junior" ready to go home.
Two years ago, my buddy ordered a “Whole” hero on a bet. It was held together by two, large, wooden-handled ice picks. Unbelievably, he ate it all and won the bet. Today, if you can eat one with all the trimmings in under 30 minutes, it’s free and I think you also get a t-shirt. Bet you can’t eat one.

This is what half of a "Whole" sandwich looks like.
