Been coming to this location since my high school days and it's always been fantastic. The last 3-6 months has been absolute joke. Last three times I've gone in -first time the dude never came out from the back because he was too busy doing god knows that -second they closed an hour earlier than they're supposed to! Workers really want to work! -Third time I finally got my sandwich!!! But it was the most half ass sandwich I've ever had from any Jersey Giant location. Don't waste your time at this location and just go to the one on Center. What a joke. I know it's all cliché to put up the bad reviews behind the counter but maybe you guys should take it more seriously. read more

Great sandwiches and friendly service. I especially like how they use shredded pickles. Must be a Michigan thing since Tallico does it too

Between the master sub man creating delicious mouthwatering subs and holding a great conversation (hyping up jersey giant subs just as we were to him) he created what I believe to be a masterpiece in the sandwich industry. One you would not find anywhere else. Upon arriving home and settling in to destroy the arm sized sandwich, I let a little burp out and said "go time!" In no less than 10 bites this entire sub was gone and I do not regret a thing. I'll be back for you! watch out! Fresh bread and fresh ingredients the morning of slap me silly there's no faults here ! read more

See all

I wanna give a shot-out to the 2 ladies that welcomed me with a big smile, instead of closing the door in my face, right at the last minute, at 9! Great service & REAL service! They were like so eager to make me a kickass sub and not dread me keeping them open longer. The sub was great. Had one of those giant Italian beasts. Brought it back to the hotel and devoured it. Good job, ladies! read more

Jersey Giant Subs - It was a giant Italian something & it hit the spot! - Sandwiches Near Me - Portage, Michigan

My go-to sandwich place in Kalamazoo. Locally sourced ingredients, according to their menu, and always great service. The hot pepper relish is unique/super dope, and I've never seen brown lettuce. Finally, the locations I frequent have a mini fridge full of Vernors. Boom. Much love. read more

Everyone working is always super friendly, and I absolutely love their subs more than any other sub (or Jersey themed sub restaurant).

Well it is spring again and what this means for me is a lot of yard work, house repairs, and pet projects. All this leads to many trips to Lowe's and me forgetting or not wanting to waste daylight on eating. So I end up stopping at Jersey Giant. They have simple quick sandwiches, good wheat bread, friendly employees, and a good price for a ton of food. For a chain restaurant they make me very happy. read more

Went to Jersey Giant Subs to buy 2 get one free and didn't have a coupon,was told no coupon no deal. Went to Jersey Mike's and they were happy to give me the buy two get one free deal without a coupon. Vote with your feet, if you're not appreciated where you're at, don't be there. read more

First visit. Nothing special to make me come back. Ordered #6 wall to wall. Hardly any toppings except lettuce. Overwhelmed everything else. 17 bucks is a lot for a sub. My expectations were much higher. Guess I will stick with Jimmy Johns. read more

Ordered online for pick up, which was super easy and i loved that option. Went to pick it up and waited another 15 minutes while the lady was on the phone and then she sliced and handled our meat without gloves on. The other employee had her head flipped over the food condiments with her long ponytail about touching the food. 15 minutes and disgusted loss of appetite later, we open our subs and they're wrong. read more

I had a wonderful sandwich today at Jersey Giants on Westnedge! It was fast and delicious and made just how I like it!! I always get the number 8 and Dave was a delight! It's hard to find a great sandwich and Jersey Giant never disappoints!! thank you!! I'll be back again and again!! great lunch specials too! Sincerely, Alison C read more

I love this place! Not only are the subs great, but the staff is wonderful as well. They always make you feel welcome and ask you about your day. My favorite sub is the #8, its a classic. The bread is fantastic and I love that they slice the meat and chesse fresh for each sub. read more

Jersey Giant Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Portage, Michigan

My first stop at this location, even though I have had Jersey Giant Subs at parties we have thrown at work. The S. Westnedge location has a very friendly and helpful team. We were there around 11am so it wasn't busy at all. They gave us some good suggestions, which we opted for - like going with a whole and then sharing it since we were both getting the same thing. It was cheaper than both of us getting half orders. Super nice of them to let us know. We ordered the # 1 - Capacola, Salami & Cheese on whole wheat. I was impressed with how fast the gal sliced the meats and cheese and layered it on the sandwich. It was like watching an artist. The bread is soft and the meats & cheese were fresh. Delicious and filling. A+ read more

I went here with a co-worker and man I was really impressed. We went there 2 days in a row for lunch and I gotta say the sandwiches are "da-bomb". Definitely check this place out if your visiting this area. For sure, next time I come Portage, I'll definitely make sure to take a whole sub back home with me. The sandwiches are made to order and each type of meat is hand cut to perfection for your sandwich. Remember to get their giardiniera! read more

Jersey Giant Subs - The Beasty Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Portage, Michigan

Best subs ever!!! The owner is down to earth! Super friendly guy! When you walk in the smells alone are amazing! My husband and kids never turn down a Jersey night! We also love to have them cut up our subs in smaller portions and take them on to south haven for the day! read more

Maybe the company would do better if they'd stop charging $1.25 for a meat substitution... not EXTRA meat, simply turkey instead of ham= + $1.25. The Boss is good though. And the help is friendly. read more

This is a perfectly adequate sub place. I like that the staff is friendly and seems to enjoy their jobs (unlike most people who work at most Subways around this area), and I absolutely LOVE that they slice the meats and cheese as you order. I wish the lettuce and tomatoes were fresher (the lettuce seemed wilted and the tomatoes looked sallow), and I think it's kind of weird that they're always so empty at lunch times. The subs really are giant, but you can order them by the half. They also do a pretty good lunch special which is a half sub, chips, and a drink for $5 and change. There's a $5 minimum on credit cards, but your bill would only come to under $5 if you got just a drink and a cookie. read more

I agree with Kara's review - a perfectly adequate sub place. The Hits: + Ken - the dude behind the counter. Friendly, funny, and helpful. + Freshly sliced meats and cheeses guarantees a fresh sandwich. + A lot of food for the money. The Misses: - The veggies were pretty weak and the options were limited. - The bread was way too soft. - Underwhelming location and space. If I am in Kalamazoo again on business, I will have no problems hitting up JGS for lunch. read more

This is the sandwich shop that proves Subway is garbage. The bread is soft and delicious, the deli meat is sliced right before your eyes, and the combinations are endless. They've recently added different lunch-sized combinations which is really great. The standard sandwich side is absurdly large (not a complaint) and unless I was splitting it with someone, I felt guilty for ordering. Now I can order a single serving size, and I prefer it that way. If I order a full sized sandwich, I typically opted against the soggier sandwich items and condiments on half of my sandwich to keep it fresh for a day or two. The bonus is the extremely friendly and lightening fast staff! read more

This is my favorite sub place. When I was in college at Michigan State I would go to the EL location frequently. Since graduating and moving to Chicago I visit Jersey Giant's location in Kalamazoo every time I drive pass the Westnedge Ave exit on 94. Unfortunately it is not as often as I would like, normally 2 times a year, and I try to get it both on my way out of Chicago and then heading back home. The bread is soft and fresh. The toppings are simple but add to the sandwich. I always get the #2 with lettuce, onion, tomato, banana peppers (a little kick and perfect complement to your sandwich), and oil/vinegar. The meat and cheeses are sliced in front of you so you know they are fresh. The sandwiches are huge and I always find a way to eat the entire thing. Jersey Giant always lives up to my expectations (which is tough to do) and I just wish it was closer to home. This place puts Jersey Mike's to shame. Better service, better quality, better price (by a lot). read more

When it comes to cold cuts, this place is top notch compared to others. I always get the Boss as it's got everything I love on a sub!

I love this place! They have the best sandwiches and staff are so amazing always fun to talk to and laugh with. Go there every break. Love this place and staff!! read more

Eye bread was unique delicious and for some reason familiar. Turkey sandwich was delicious with everything. Really like the assortment of toppings relishes and pickles. Pretty comparable to jersey mikes but slighter more original and more flavor read more

Jersey Giants has become my go to local sandwich if Pizza Yen isn't open. 4 stars because it's a sandwich. 5 stars for service, I've never been let down. Ultra accommodating for food allergies. Go big, get it dry and eat off of it for a couple days. Great for splitting if you've got someone with similar tastes. read more

Went to Jersey Giant again. I love it. So happy we now have one in Kalamazoo. Grew up with the in Lansing so it is great to have them here. Thank you, Ken. read more

One of my favorite sub places!! The staff is always friendly and they have great deals.

This review is for THE NEW JERSEY GAINT on SPRINKLE ROAD.....we called in our order at noon for 1:00 pm pick up, I paid and was handed the bag of 2- #79 whole sub and 1 #2 half sub...the bag was heavy, the 2 young women were moving...making subs, no time for slackers here, big and small orders at the counter. Nice energy in the restaurant. Got home around the corner open up and sub was cut in 4 equal pieces and measured about 15 -17" long, this whole sub was HUGH!! And good, has to be the best sub in Kalamazoo/portage area. GREAT JOB !! read more

Closest thing to a Galley Sub we could find. Good price and was very pleased to see they offer half sizes.

This is my favorite sub place in the Kalamazoo/Portage area. The meat and cheese are freshly sliced for each sub and the bread is soft and delicious. The veggie choices are adequate. I personally enjoy getting the peppers and giardiniera on my subs. The staff has always been extremely friendly and a pleasure to chat with while they make my sub. read more

As far as build it, sort of your way, these subs make Subway's offerings look like tea sandwiches! The FTC ought to be looking into what a lot of fast food places advertise in their pictures of food offered as opposed to what you get served. We had been going to Jimmy Johns for a while and they were pretty good. But This place has our business now. I agree with other reviews that the sauce and veggie offerings were limited and the bread was a little airy but they made up for that with the fresh meats and cheese with decent portions. The paradigm for subs to me was the long gone Sunshine Submarine on Westnedge near old Central HS. Otherwise I might have given 5stars If somebody resurrects the original menu formula and ingredients from back then they will kill the sub market locally. read more

This is my favorite deli sub place in the zoo (my wife's as well, she's from the Lansing area and made me try it). The subs are 4 sections big, they cut the meat and cheese in front of you (actually pretty important for provolone) and the selection is good. If you get a tuna sub, make sure to get the vinegar and oil on it. Ken (the owner, really nice guy), made my wife get it on there for me and it really makes it something else and is totally the right call. Better Made chips, decent cookies and both the white and wheat bread are good. It's not super fast, but they make the dang thing right in front of you. Totally worth it. Do yourself a solid and give it a go. read more

Was introduced to these spectacular subs by a friend. Can't thank her enough! These are way better than Subway and Quiznos put together!! They slice the meats for each sub as you order! Can't get any fresher than that!!! Highly recommend you try them! read more

Great value and taste. If the price throws you off, just remember that you get a lot of food (all sub's are 16 inches and cut into 4ths for convenience). I had a #3 (pepperoni and cheese and capicola sub) which was excellent. Friendly service as well. Very clean restaurant. read more

Jersey Giant subs are the best subs in Kalamazoo. They are loaded and bursting with flavor. Some of the biggest subs in Michigan! My personal favorite is the boss. I highly recommend it. Jersey Giant is the place to go if you want a great sub in Kalamazoo. Despite slow service these subs will send you to another world!! read more

The service here is atrocious! My fellow Co workers order out twice a month (as a company). We called Jersey Giant's and spoke with the owner. He gave us his most you up to date menu. We place our order the next day. In just over day he raised his prices by 75 cents each sub! When we talked to him about it he told us he didn't need our business and if we didn't like it we can leave! This is NOT good business. I've never had his subs and nor will I ever. How can you treat people like this. If you have menus that you are handing out don't just say that they are up to date make sure that they are! Moreover, for a first time customer (and a company) why not honor the prices you gave them then let them know the price will change next time? Too bad, for them, good for other places around who will get our business now! read more

Take it from a born and bred NJ guy... You Can',t get a better sub with higher quality meats and fixings! It's worth my trip from Galesburg. The only truly good NJ subs around! Tom P. ( the Jersey INDIAN) read more

Jersey Giant is truly the king of the sandwich business. The meat always taste fresh and flavorful. The service is always friendly and the atmosphere excellent. It is more than likely the best submarine sandwich for your money! read more

Delicious! I've had the #5, ham and capacola, and the #13, ham and turkey. Both were wonderful. My wife loved the roast beef. She asked me, "Did you see the marbling in that?" I see why Jersey Giant was recently included in a media group's list of the best subs in Michigan. Be sure to include the jersey juice on your sub! read more

Love the customer service at This location and other locations but have noticed a significant decrease in the amount of toppings on our subs (at all locations we've visited) within the last year. The menu is expensive but we used to be willing to pay more for the delicious big subs. With the lack of toppings, it doesn't seem worth the price anymore. We are bummed! read more
