I read quite a few reviews before coming here, and most of them were very positive, so I was…read morecurious to see what the hype was about. Getting there was a little tricky because the directions took us to the general area, but we had to drive around the parking lot to figure out where the restaurant was. It's in a standalone building and shares a parking lot with several other businesses. This is an order-at-the-counter, then-find-a-seat type of place. Since it was our first visit, we asked what they would recommend. Unfortunately, the response was simply, "Pick something, it's all good." That didn't exactly make choosing any easier, so we went with a couple of items that had "Cuban" in the name. I also tried the frappé, which unfortunately tasted more like ice and milk than coffee or flavor. In hindsight, I probably should have ordered it over ice. It was also the last thing I finished. As for the sandwiches, I'm not sure they were quite my cup of tea. They were on the dry side and didn't have a lot of flavor beyond the pickles. Maybe that's more traditional to the Cuban style, so I can understand that it may appeal to others, but it just wasn't what I was expecting. Overall, I'd give it 3 stars. The food and service simply didn't give me the "wow" factor I was expecting after reading so many glowing reviews. I also think the customer service could be a little warmer. If customers are ordering at the counter and being prompted for a tip, a friendly greeting, a smile, or even a little guidance for first-timers would go a long way. It may just not be my personal taste, but I can see why others enjoy it. Definitely worth trying for yourself if Cuban food is your thing. Go for the food not the service.

However, the rest of the staff is up for debate. I am a regular here at Jersey Mike's and I come at least once a week. I ordered the same order every time and there's no discrepancy when I do it with Jaz, but with everyone else, (Hispanic lead guy idk his name it might be Cody) there's always an issue. They can never make the simple accommodations that I ask for. And now just recently I'm being told that I cannot purchase an additional bread roll... when literally two days ago I was able to, now all of a sudden, I'm being told that corporate is not allowing people to purchase bread, which is quite disappointing being that I always spend money here and that corporate does not want to make an extra couple of dollars by me making an extra purchase. It's funny how I cannot buy bread so I have to go to the grocery store across the street in the next block to purchase it but when I asked to sub out ham for pepperoni, then suddenly I have to be charged for that, but I can't be charged for bread. They just want to make it inconvenient for you, but that's OK. I will not be coming to Jersey Mike's anymore. Thanks guys for ruining my go to meal.

It is easy to place your order in-house or online on their app. Do become a member of their club to earn Shore Points, which can score you free stuff! It is automatically applied when you place an order on the app or you can scan the QR code from the app in the store. My favorite sub is the regular club. It consists of turkey,ham, provolone, and bacon, and you can get it Mike's way, which consists of lettuce,tomato, onion, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and oregano. They will customize your sandwich when preparing just let them know. Service was quick and friendly. Jersey Mike's is definitely my go-to sub shop any day!

MEAT SELECTION- Initially, they advertised selling wagyu cuts but I've never seen that happen. Overall, I would like to see a larger selection of quality cuts.

Once drinks finally came out, my husband had to wait a few more for his beer. The decoration was nice, the women's dresses and head bands were beautiful. Once we ordered, the food came to our table one late at a time, with a few minutes in between. Again we had to ask husband's plate because it still hadn't arrived. My son ordered a large sweet tea. At one point, when he placed the glass back on the table it broke from a corner and leaked all over him. We quickly did our best to clean up. The bus boy asked if we were the ones who broke it. (As if it were intentional) another asked if my son had extra clothes in the car... his shirt and pants were soaked. No consolation or solution. We asked for another drink. At the end they charged us for two drinks, even the one that broke and leaked all over him. They could have at least offered to send him home with tea to go. When I asked the waitress about the extra drink, she looked at me and didn't say anything. This time around the food was not as amazing as I first recalled. Not going back

The owner of this place is racist and I didn't like the way she greeted me and my family multiple times as we walked in as she greeted everyone else nicely.

The wait staff were friendly and the food was made to order. The fried fish was hot, crispy exterior and soft inside. Some of best I have had. The shrimp was large, expertly fried with a light batter. I was expecting a little more seasoning on the shrimp (maybe that's why they had 4 different bottles of hot sauce on the table!) We also tried the shrimp gumbo. While it was tasty it was not very "Cajun." Maybe that's my Louisiana snobbishness. Another key point that must be noted is their large selection of grilled fish and seafood. If you want a change from deep fried seafood I'm confident this place would be a great option. We will return soon to explore other items.

So check that also. Until we eat again....to many things here to verify before you go to bed excited about going back. The majority of patronizing is from the local refineries.
