Subway vs Jersey Mike's

[retiredguy123]

I like both of these sub shops, and I don't really see a huge difference in the quality of the sandwiches. There are now 4 Jersey Mike's stores and about 8 Subways in The Villages area. I think that some will say that Jersey Mike's is way better than Subway. However, I will point out that the Subway footlong is 50 percent larger than the Jersey Mike's regular size, which is only 8 inches long. Both cost about the same price. Is the Jersey Mike's sandwich really worth the same price for 50 percent less food?

[Bill14564]

Jersey Mike's for me. My wife and I can never agree on the same sub and I don't want to eat an entire subway 12" so that has no draw for me and Jersey Mike's was the first place I found a cheesesteak similar to what I liked back home. Nothing wrong with subway, just not my first choice.

[Arlington2]

I normally go to Subway and get the footlong. Have one half for lunch and the other for dinner or next day lunch. I went to Jersey Mikes to see what the deal was. Wasn't impressed or unimpressed. Subway is more convenient for me. Also Jersey Mikes bought Subway so should expect similar product.

[Shipping up to Boston]

Jersey Mike's has always sliced to order and the presentation is better to me. Subway only recently started doing the same. Not a big fan of meats and cheeses pre sliced.

Went to a Jersey Mikes once. They cut meats on the spot for my sandwich. 3 meat sandwich. Took too long to make and did not taste better. Get a better sub at WAWA or publix. But Publix order ahead as they are slow too

You may be thinking of Jimmy John's which is owned by the same parent that bought Subway.

[Toymeister]

I think the answer lies in the cost of ingredients. Specifically how much meat you are getting. The only accurate way to answer this is to order both and weigh the total sandwich and the meat. Please report back to us with the results.

Does that theory apply to a Big Mac vs Whopper? ;)

[fdpaq0580]

Subway foot long works best for us. Wife orders the sandwich she wants and I get half. Whoopie! Two people fed with one sandwich.
And when lunch is over I get to rub her feet and give her pedicure.

[AMB444]

Subway
pros:
has lots of veggies and sauces to choose from
I think the bread is better...lighter than JM's

cons:
meat is always sliced super thin and they don't put much on your sandwich, same with the cheese you get about 3 tiny rectangles and they seem to meticulously COUNT each slice (lol)
cheeses taste like Kraft singles

Jersey Mike's:
pros:
veggies are generous, large tomato slices
gluten free bread option
pepper relish is yum!
better quality cheeses and meats
has a better selection of meats (cheese steak/chicken)

cons:
more expensive
too much bread vs fillings

[AMB444]

I like JJ's "unwich" where you can order any "sandwich" and they wrap it in big lettuce leaves instead of bread. They have good pickles too.

My opinion is that JJ's is better meat and cheese quality vs Subway or Jersey Mike's.

Kinda like PF Chang's chicken lettuce wraps! Interesting, I may try that as I'm trying to minimize breads as much as I can. Not easy!

[MrChip72]

Publix makes better subs than both with superior ingredients.

[queenpalmgirl]

Jersey Mike's hands down. Fresher, better looking tomatoes, lettuce, onions etc. Subway has seen their better days. I like Jersey Mike's wraps since any of their subs can be made into a wrap. You can chose white or wheat for the wrap.

[UpNorth]

Publix makes better subs than both with superior ingredients.

Agreed. Or just assemble your own. Not difficult, and better than either of the two chains.

[AMB444]

Yep me too. Fast food options for low/no bread or gluten are kind of limited. Chipotle is a good place to get low/no gluten options.

Wendy's baked potato and chili is no gluten.

Noodles and Company has "gluten friendly" (ie beware if you're celiac) noodles and rice noodles. They also have zucchini "noodles".

Japanese (bring your own gf tamari) and Thai places are good for gluten free dishes.

PF Changs does a good job at GF options!

Answering the question asked:

I grew up with Subway, since it was founded in Connecticut in 1965, and that's where I'm from. I'd never eaten at a Jersey Mike's and wasn't aware that they even existed until I came down here to The Villages. I personally prefer Jersey Mike's, now that I've had it. Plus Subway doesn't make -grilled- steak and cheese. I also like JM's bread, it's more like normal Italian bread than the squishy soft fluffy stuff from Subway.

Other comments that don't answer the question asked but are germain to the rest of the discussion:

Jersey Mike's didn't buy Subway. Roarke bought Subway. Jersey Mike's is still privately owned by the family that founded it.

Publix cold subs are better than both Jersey Mikes and Subway. Jersey Mike's steak and cheese are better than both Subway and Publix. Publix BREAD is better than both, no matter what you put in it. I like buying just a single sub roll from them and making a garlic loaf with it. None of the above come even close to the Italian bread from back home in Connecticut, none of them make as good Italian subs, hot or cold, as the ones I used to get when I lived in Boston. And none of them make a steak and cheese as good as D'Angelo's, which only has shops in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. But the best steak and cheese sub I've ever had was made by the guy who worked at the little convenience shop downstairs from my apartment, when I lived in Brighton, MA.

[AMB444]

Agree! And I'm impressed with Publix's own name brand items. I tried their shred cheddar the other day and thought it was really good. And I'm from Wisco. :)

Gotta admit I kinda miss the good ole home town Winn Dixies though.

I could run a whole thread on Italian delis back home. I will say since you have expanded beyond Subway and Jersey Mike’s....Publix does use premium Boars Head meats/cheeses. That alone is a reason for me to choose them over the others....in this region, of course

I use the Publix brand for my Italian sub, but Publix doesn't have its own smoked turkey, and so I usually end up with the PitCraft from Boar's Head when I want a smoked turkey sub.

Yum. Boars Head has excellent cheeses as well.

We enjoyed Firehouse subs. More than big enough for two to share.
Went off Subway after one of their Tuna Mayo's gave me a dire case of Montezuma's Revenge.
Never tried Jersey Mike.

Jersey Mikes will put any sandwich in a bowl without the bread.

[rsmurano]

Both are good, but jersey mikes is better. My wife get a giant and split it. Get max points. Better meat, veggies (cooked), and cheese than subway. Subway, get a footlong and take 1/2 home, more options for add ons, meat is more restricted, still good.
Jersey mikes has that special seasoning that just tastes better.

When it comes to food, taste comes way before size. We enjoy subs from both Publix and Jersey Mikes.The giant Big Kahuna with chipolte mayo (off menue #99) is our favorite. We get a giant cut into thirds. One for me, one for my wife and one for my wife's husband. Publix are good also especially the Boar's head ones. However they are very poor in following instructions. You could order the same sandwich prepared with the same ingredients and condiments and get a different sandwich 3 days in a row. They cost about half of JM's however.

[MikeN]

Neither, Firehouse subs please

[BlueStarAirlines]

I have to go with Jersey Mike's as well. Subway's subs are longer, but I feel like its a lot of bread with not much meat or cheese for the length. Maybe because I have to watch them count out the thinly sliced meats and rectangles of cheese....like a miser coming out of their own pockets.

I know this is irrational, but when Subway started showing up at gas stations and literally co-located with any sh*thole along a road it felt like they were a class below Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns, and all other sub companies.

[Snakster66]

I am amazed every time I go past a subway and see people in it.

[Justputt]

Jersey Mike's makes a better tasting sub, IMO. Subway is more economical. The best subs (size, quality and cost) I've ever had were made by places now out of business, a small sub shop in Church Hill, MD called Ethel's and a small sub shop in Buckhannon, WV called Jesse's. Subway, I usually get a Italian BMT, 6 THIN slices of each meat, 8 THIN slices of cheese. JM, #2 Mike's way, and they don't seem to count slices as much as focusing on making it look correct. JM, I use the App and the sub is ready by the time I drive there, so no waiting.

At one point in time Subway was using a filler in their bread that is also used to make gym mats. So I won't ever eat there.

Whatever footlong sub we get is a little too big for the two of us to consume the first day, so I slice the remainder in "pinwheels" and grill them them in a hot skillet for breakfast. This works especially well with the Publix Italian subs. So Yummy! Wish I had one now.

Their bread is to die for. Always looked forward to picking up an Albuquerque Turkey at the Austin Airport, but Schlotsky's must have gone away when they remodeled the terminal.

BIG difference to me is EVERY time I eat at Jersey Mike's I wake up at 3am dying of thirst and have to drink a full bottle of water Very high sodium content. Subway never bothered. Which is better Jersey Mikes but Subway is more healthy option.

At one point in time Subway was using a filler in their bread that is also used to make gym mats. So I won't ever eat there.

It wasn't a filler, it was a dough conditioner chemical. They removed it from their recipe in 2014, ten years ago.

McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, Wendy’s, White Castle, and Jack in the Box all used the chemical in their breads in 2014 and eventually removed it from their recipes as well.
