2026 Birthday Series -- Stop #4: Jersey Mikes…read more I'm kicking off a series reviewing all the places I visited to redeem my birthday goodies in July 2026. Along with an overall rating, each spot gets scored on redeemability (how easy it is to claim) and actual value. Jersey Mike's Redeemability: 5/5 (requires sign-up up for the news letter) Actual value: 10/5 (A WHOLE SET OF ONE REGULAR SIZE FREE SUB (ANY) and a drink!) WOW! Aside from the fact that Jersey Mike gives out the BEST BIRTHDAY FREEBIES out of all the cafes and restaurants (with absolutely no convoluted process to redeem - the staff were extremely nice and friendly), the sub itself was freaking amazing. I got the big kahuna - the beef was freshly grilled with LOTS OF white American cheese that melts all over, and the delicious grilled vegetables on top. I swear to god, this was perhaps just as good as the Philly steak sandwich I had in Philly if not better (as a birthday present). The store was as also super clean albeit extremely popular, with freshly cut meat and cheese served in an efficient speed. Tho I got a free combo, I also saw that the sandwiches were very reasonably priced - the quality and the price were unbeatable and I'll def come back often. I'd say jersey Mike's is my FAV sub restaurant now, far surpass subway but also firehouse sub which I often found overpriced. Highly, highly recommended.

Love that they have different sizes for you to pick from, so we got their giant size and wow it definitely was gigantic! You can choose your toppings ranging from lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar and spices, and more. Since it was our first time, we got it served the Mike's Way which had everything on it. Next time I think I'll opt out of the Mike's Way, since I didn't love my sandwich doused in vinegar - it also made it pretty soggy pretty quickly. However, the sandwich taste itself was amazing and so fresh! I can't wait to go back to customize another sandwich to my liking!

I'm really happy to see there's way more locations now compared to before and how easy it is to buy the subs now. Hero Sub: Great assortment of meats. Amazing ratio - which is usually really rare, especially in the other competing sub places. The bread is soft and fluffy, which adds a great texture to the bite. Steak and cheese sub: Generous amount of steak! Similar comments with the other sub. Love the bread. All went well together. The subs are truly filling! Overall, I really love the sandwiches here - it's definitely on the pricier side, though, but well worth the value you get compared to competitors. The ingredients taste more fresh and better quality.

If I'm in a pinch, this is a great option for a quick meal!

I would highly recommend phoning or filling out online for the order, as this is an amazing experience food wise, it does take a bit of time for the sandwich to be assembled. lots of parking spots available as this location is in a plaza. make sure to try the cherry limade at this location, absolutely mind blowing drink. worth every penny and I cant wait to come back!

I mean I still can't but at least I can reason this as a once in a while guilty pleasure. I got the Medium New York Steamer (10.84) which is basically around a 6 inch pastrami sandwich. Yes the sandwich was pretty good, good quality pastrami as well. You can see the workers add additional meat drippings, and the sauce was actually top notch. All very solid components but nothing mind blowing. Maybe I'm bias and think of sandwiches as snack food with deli meats rather than whole meals. But maybe as time goes on I'll be able to appreciate the value of sandwiches more and bump it up to a solid 4/5.

They have best deals on uber eats and on their app which includes free subs for every 10th order, BOGO free subs, and free birthday sub. I came here for the free birthday sub recently, and I got a little bonus on that sub at this location! The lady that makes the sub is very friendly and takes her time to make the sub perfect!!!!!!! Mr. Sub is the best place for free birthday food for your birthday, so I highly recommend signing up to their subscription/app for a yearly free sub, which is better than any other birthday deal in Strathroy. The only thing they could add is more tables inside the the place but that is forgivable because Mr. Sub is located inside the gas station and there is a wooden picnic table outside the gas station that you can eat.

The bread was super stale and hard on the ends. I asked the person who made my sub how old the buns were and he refused to give me a correct answer. He tried to tell me they were from today which was a total lie. Also, my chicken was still frozen so I asked him if he even heated it. I pulled the chicken out of my sub and let him feel how cold it was. He offered to re-make me another sub but what's the point. I didn't want another stale bun so I asked for a refund. I don't recommend this Mr. Sub location. I thought it was going to better from the previous owners / management but it's still terrible as this location is cutting corners.

Two Tuesday nights ago, I had just watched a concert film at Cineplex Cinemas Vaughan. I was heading to my car and needed to grab some dinner. I saw this Jersey Mike's Subs, which was new to me. It made sense to grab a sub and eat it at home. There was lots of parking in this area. I kept my car parked near Cineplex and walked over to this eatery. Once I was inside the store, there were a couple of customers before me. My usual order is the number 9, which is the turkey club sub. I tend to get the regular, which is the medium size out of the three that you can get. I got a friendly woman who was preparing two subs before mine. She asked what I'd like. I said the number 9. I was a bit rusty, as I haven't had anything from Jersey Mike's for a good year. I forgot to say that i wanted my number 9 on rosemary parmesan bread. This woman didn't ask me about the bread and defaulted to making my sub with white bread. It was okay. However, I would have liked to have been prompted. This woman prepared my sub with one of the two subs that the couple in front of me had ordered. It was weird. Wouldn't you want to work on the two subs that the couple had ordered together, and then separate mine? My sub and one of theirs weren't even the same. The male from the couple had to say something at the end when it was time for him to pay. It looked like she was going to charge him with one sub, when he was clearly paying for two. Weird. The woman got back to making my sub. She asked if I wanted it Mike's way, which meant onions, lettuce, tomatoes, red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, and salt. My usual is Mike's way minus the onions. I said that. Mike's way minus the onions. The woman asked me to repeat it. I did. Her colleague behind her turned around to look at me. I looked right back at her. Are you staring at me because you are quietly judging me on my omitting onions on my sub? I don't see anything wrong with it. Why rudely turn around? You aren't working on my sub. Your colleague is. I remember saying the same thing at the Markham location. I got the you-don't-like-onions comment. Nope, that's not true. I love onion rings and French onion soup. I love thinly sliced raw onions. Don't give me thick-cut raw onions. It's the raw burn that I don't enjoy. I found the staring to be rude. In the past, I'd be uncomfortable. I will not be made to feel bad. I will stare you down until you look away, which is exactly what I did to make the rude woman stop. I've ordered this sub without onions at the Kitchener location countless times. No one has every looked at me funny. I miss that level of customer service and respect. At the checkout, you can enter your phone number associated with your Jersey Mike's rewards account to earn points. I have enough points for a free sub. I didn't use them for this order. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I grabbed my sub and left. I put my sub in my insulated bag. It wasn't a hot sub. Just habit. I'm glad that I did. When I got home, for the first time in my life, a Jersey Mike's sub leaked red wine vinegar and soaked the paper bag. My insulated bag kept my car and me clean. Luckily, I only had to wash out the bag. Still, I shouldn't have had to. My sub was good. It needed my usual rosemary parmesan bread. It was also more soggy than usual. The applewood smoked bacon was excellent, as were the roast beef, turkey, swiss cheese, and mayo. It's hard to say whether this place was heavy-handed with the red wine vinegar or olive oil. I also don't know if it was a wrapping issue. I do know that I had a wet sub bag. It's a three-star review. Let me find another new Jersey Mike's in the greater Toronto area and see if I get more rudeness asking to have the onions omitted in my sub. (399)

We tried these for the first time at the new location... took a while (about 30min) for our food to be ready because of all the orders and they seemed backed up even though they had like 14 people on staff working.
