Jersey Mike's vs Subway

Subway vs anything on the east coast is awful. Its not close to any of the local or mini NJ franchises.
Subway is flat out terrible. Why would anyone ever go there when NJ has so many delis and sub shops.
Id go with Just Subs in Hillsborough and I think they have 4 or 5 other locations throughout Central Jersey

Wawa makes a great sub..at a great price but Jersey Mikes is way better as is QuickChek
There really is no discussion. First: Subway is terrible. When you look at their stuff in the trays is just looks awful, and tastes as bad. I don't care how many BOGOs they offer.
We've got Jersey Mike's in Florida and they'd be perfect if they knew extra oil and vinegar.
Of course, nothing compares to a neighborhood deli. I have to go. Now I'm hungry.

Unfortunately they closed about a year ago but they do have other locations.
Glad to hear I was wrong about this. Could have sworn it was closed up the last few times I drove by.

Not a very good thread title... It's sort of like saying Steak vs Dog Food, or Milkshake vs Sour Cream, or Saban vs Flood, or ...
Oddly enough I stopped at the local Jersey Mike's after a late stay at work and munching on a Giant #13 Mike's Way while reading this board. Eat half tonight and save the other half for breakfast.
To be fair, the Franklin Park location is on 27 and is still open.
I would put Tastee and Just Subs on the same level of quality. Just Subs probably gets my number one spot due to some other things they do well such as speciality subs and cheeses.
Joe's Meat Market in South Bound Brook also gets a big plus in my book, but they are a different type if sub then the other 2.
You cannot buy a "sub" (whatever that is) at Wawa. Even a Florida Wawa.
There's one located on 206 in Lawrence Twp close to Rider Univ. - meh...
I never liked their offerings at any of their locations - can't believe people in N.B. would ride out to Edison when we had MV Deli on Easton Ave with double the meat and for half the price.
I just ate there tonight in So Cal. The quality and taste always reminded me of really good sub shops in NJ. Subway, tastes almost artificial/corporate compared to Jersey Mike's.
I would agree - compared to Subway, Jersey Mike's is far and away better in every way.
I don't have one close by in Central Jersey, but while in CA this past summer I found there were easily five within 10 minutes drive in Huntington Beach area.
I know this because we went to an Angels game, they scored 10 runs, and we all got a free Jersey Mike's the next day with ticket stub.
Tastee Subs wins for me. Honestly, get so disappointed when I'm back here left without any real options that compare even reasonably well.
Completely agree. Jersey Mike's is a step above Subway, but miles behind many local pizzerias, delis, and sub shops.
You are free to start a thread of you own....guess what you can pick your own title! Good luck.
But if you wants my answers
Steak
Sour cream
Neither
Subway is the Penn State of sub shops. Huge, unrivaled and has a child molester as its spokesman (who, naturally, is a Penn State fan, himself).
It is like trying to figure out who makes the best pizza and only naming national chains.
Subway is disgusting so anything will be better than that.
I like Quick Chek's tuna subs. Better than taste and just subs imo. Subway is is fairly pedestrian. Not terrible but nothing to write home about
Mike Subs is by far the worst sub, even behind subway where I am in NJ. Three slices of meat and two slices of cheese pilled high with lettuce is hardly a sub!
Agreed. But I said the same thing about Dominos and Pizza Hut and was proven wrong by NJ residents.
In my opinion, the two best national chain sub shops are Jersey Mike's (Point Pleasant) and Blimpie (Hoboken).
Gave up on Subway about 5 years ago, but gotta admit I've never tried anything from Jersey Mike's.
There's one a short hop from me on RT. 18 in East Brunswick, and based on some of the positive comments in this thread, I just might have to give that puppy a try. [thumb2]

EVERYTHING in NJ is better than other places elsewhere. Especially better than the chains. Think Jersey Pizza,subs and Chinese food.
