There's a great app out there called "what the health, FL" that gives you the inspection reports on all the restaurants.

Stop making TV look like a pit stop off of an interstate--all these so called Restaurants are prevalent off of I-95--I-75 -I-40

So, just for grins, the picture you posted of the sandwich making area has at least two items above the chill line in the holding pans. If I were to take a laser thermometer to either, I guarantee they would be above the legal limit of 41 degrees F. That's a serious health code violation since bacteria grow significantly when above that limit. Just sayin'

Well please give me a whole Tuna Sub include the bacteria and germs just like last time because it was off the hook fantastic. Your results may vary.

I try to never complain about bad food and try to support stores like Jersey Mikes. Great SanGwiches, nice people, close to home, what's to complain about, NOTHING!

There is a different Sub Store over near Lowes on 441, many love it. Me, Meh.

Acceptance
Acceptance is the answer to ALL of my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation- some fact of my life- unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God's world by mistake.
Until I could accept my aversion to new things and placed and people, I could not ever be happy; unless I accept my life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in ME and in my attitudes.

Embrace your new dining experience or you may not have any other choices! Mangiare!

I have nothing to do with Jersey Mike's, I neither own or work at, but do eat quite often at JM. Heck I'm 68 my working days are over. The closest I came was working on the Boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland in 1969 at Billy's Famous Subs, it was the first sub shop to open in Ocean City back in '63. I've been eating subs my life. Apparently the millions of subs sold by Jersey Mike's haven't gotten anyone sick, so I'll take my chances, they are the fastest growing restaurant franchise in America.

The only reason I defend them is I hate to see people put places down when they've never even been there. Case in point, you didn't know about the slicing, so you never been there. Now you've checked their menu and found it too expensive, apparently it hasn't hurt sales. A good cold-cut sub should cost about $6 and a steak with peppers and onions about $8, and that's what they charge. You probably looked at the Jumbo prices, maybe it's time to push away from the table. Don't compare super market subs or Subway subs with the real deal.

As far as the lettuce above the chill line, again, if you ever bother to go into the place you're so keen on criticizing you would that during most hours of the day there is a line waiting to order, these places are goldmines. They fill the bins up full so they don't have to slow down the line.

You're right, we do need more good restaurants around here but another sandwich shop is not want I wanted to see. Trailwinds is an ideal spot for a Cheddars Scratch Kitchen.

What are yo doing to get this Cheddars restaurant CHAIN to come to The Villages?

Contacted their HQ. They are apparently "looking" at this area.

John;
Even though they may go through their produce in a short period of time, it's still a health code violation. Whatever. You like them, that's fine. I don't see the attraction. And actually, the fastest growing restaurant chain in the country is Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant. Second is First Watch, followed by Shake Shack, Blaze Pizza, and Mod Pizza. At least we have one of those here.
