This definitely a high quality sub stuffed in a fresh bun. I like this place much better than Subway

Jersey Mikes is my husbands favorite sandwich shop. Weekly i order on the phone and pick up the #2 mikes way. Having the on the phone order line to pick up and pay really helps me just zoom in and out of the place in less then 5 minutes after i park. A few weeks ago, I was served by the wonderful Natalie. We shared a few short and courteous conversations and it lead me to order a 6ft sub for my daughters Halloween Birthday Bash. Wow what a presentation! read more

Jersey Mike's Subs - 6ft Party Sub, special order! - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

The "sub" par reviews speak for themselves. I have been a patron at this dog of a location for 15 months. My sub is always decent and the staff usually friendly, but that's where it ends. Here's where they fail completely: -Absentee Management/franchisee(never saw an owner or a manager). Managers are usually older than 18. I take it the franchisee owns a few other locations and this business is a side investment for him, not his actual job. - Dirty, dirty, dirty. Each and every time I eat in(75% of my visits) the tables and floor are filthy. It's a disgrace. I just walked out after having eaten my sub for the past 25 minutes. They had no customers for 25 minutes and not one stinking employee walked out from behind the counter. Not one. Corporate will be hearing about this multi-time offender. - Broken and now no Keypad to punch your rewards number in. Now you have to verbalize your phone number for all others to hear. It's been broken for over three months. - This is more a complaint about corporate. The selection of chips. JM must have a contract with crappy Frito-Lay. Their chips are the worst around. I'm from the east coast and know quality potato chips. JM should be ashamed of themselves contracting a terrible chip manufacturer. There are many other brands out there. I.e. UTZ, Charles Chips, Dirty Chips, and Cape Cod. read more

Really great subs, fresh sliced meat, fair prices... You gotta try #9 Mikes Way, and also the Big Kahuna. Those are my favorites. Way better than Subway with much fresher ingredients. read more

Great service and quick. The reason I am writing this review is that there is a sandwich maker working there - don't know her name but think she's Indian - she's the fastest sandwich maker I've ever seen, without a doubt, I swear (accurate too!) read more

This review is ONLY on the Encinitas location- I would rate other Jersey Mike's locations 5 stars! We are big Jersey Mike's fans, we eat at the Solana Beach location at least once a week, it is (in our opinion) the best sandwich in town. When we noticed a locaiton had opened in Encinitas we decided to try it, since we were running errands in the same plaza. Big mistake, we should have driven down to Solana Beach! The quality of the food was not at all what we are used to from Jersey Mike's. We always get the #6 (roast beef), and the roast beef was NOT at all the same at this location. At other locations it's cooked rare and is pink, and at this location it was extremely dry and dark (and since they cure the meat on site, you know they are doing something wrong). Additionally, "Mike's Way" at this location is nothing like at other locations. They barely put on any oil/vinegar, and as another reviewer noted, they scooped the toppings that had fallen off the previous sandwich back into the bins to use on our sandwich...ick. When I got to the cashier and asked if I could put in my phone number to get points toward a free sandwich he looked at me with a blank stare, and finally it registered what I meant. Honestly, it's a shame for whoever owns this location to have paid big $$ to open a Jersey Mike's location and run it this way. They should send all of their employees (and themselves!) down to train with the guys in Solana Beach for a day and learn a thing or two about running a successful Jersey Mike's location if they don't want to go out of business. Although we will continue to visit other locations frequently, we will definitely never return to this location. read more

My favorite franchise based sub shop (refer to my checkins). Location is convenient nearby El Camino Real & Leucadia in Encinitas, also no speed bumps which is also a plus if you have a lowered car. They continually have coupons out in mailer's (get1free, mycommunityguide, etc...) I always go with the #9 Club Supreme and my belly always leaves with a smile. Staff is always friendly too. My only gripes would be their online sub club. I preferred the old one since they would hook up more stamps and I've already had to email corporate about it not going through. It would be nice to have a size in between regular and giant since the regular is a bit too small if you are really hungry. read more

Love Jersey Mikes, always making the best sandwiches. Line can be long but you can also call it in!! The owner is terrific~ I love my sandwiches Mike's way, nothing better read more

Great to see a decent sub sandwich place open in Encinitas to give is an alternative to subway or other more expensive options. Food is fresh and lot's of service. read more

You know how they pride themselves on their fresh ingredients at Jersey Mikes??? They use canned peppers and onions on the "famous philly." That's why it tastes sour like pickles... Even the "fresh sliced" onions are sliced the day before... I'm glad the staff was so candid about their ingredients because they were able to use some actual fresh sliced bell peppers and day old onions on my famous philly and it tasted MUCH better. Now I know... And so do you... read more

NOT THE BEST SUB PLACE IN ENCINITAS. Jersey Mikes anywhere else gets at LEAST 4 stars, but this location just seems... LAZY. THe service is just not what I'm used to from Mike's. The Sub quality was SUB-par (hahaha) and definitely didn't make me want to come back. The roast beef was not prepared correctly, the veggies looked like they'd been sitting out for awhile, the area that my sandwich was being made on was NOT CLEAN. The outside area was FILTHY and even the floors inside were noticeably dirty. Even if there was just a lunch rush, there was AT LEAST one person behind the counter not doing ANYTHING. If it looked like there was an effort to keep the integrity of the store, it wouldn't have mattered that it was dirty, but employees were slacking and in my book, that's POOR service. The entire experience was just sub par and it's so unfortunate. In the end I wouldn't have cared, so long as the sandwich was good, but it wasn't. It was soggy, not very fresh and poorly prepared. I hate to say this, but I'd rather go to sub way at that point, or better yet, SUBMAN. I'll be back to see if anything has gotten better, but for now I am disappointed. read more

What a great sub!!! Went in here on a super busy Saturday afternoon, and although they were slammed, the manager was going out to the patrons in line and trying to get the sandwich orders started. Awesome. By the time I got to the cashier to pay, I was being handed my hot Philly Cheese steak with peppers sub (sooooo good) and my other sandwich, made to order. They have a small amount of indoor seating, but lots of outdoor seating. They are located in the Target shopping center, in the almost vacant corner over by Ortho Mattress. Don't miss out on Jersey Mikes. YUMMY and good service! read more

I have been here, twice. Both times the service was good, the chick behind the counter was super friendly (though she seemed way to exited about making sandwiches), she even remembered my previous order my second visit. The food they use seems fresh, though I wish they had a few more side options, my tuna was quite lonely without an assortment of veggies to go with it. I highly recommend their Philly Cheesesteak, which is clearly the best menu option, and I love how they cook the meat fresh on the grill. I like the option to make anything into a sub, wrap, or my personal favorite a tub. The price is a tad high, and thats why I'm docking them a star. Though you get what you pay for, in terms of quantity. While I have yet to order a "giant" size sub I saw one being made once, and it was a mountain of food. Could easily be two if not three whole meals. read more

Mmmm, good stuff. I love sandwiches and had to try the new Jersey Mike's in the Target shopping center. My conclusion: Pros: -Everything is super fresh. I like Subway, but there's no limp veggies and sickly sliced turkey at JM's. Very nice. -Staff is really friendly and easy to work with. There isn't any, "Ohhh...you said no cheese? Ok. Oh wait, sorry, you said no cheese. My bad, again." It's efficient, and getting through that line wasn't so bad. -Super tasty. I got the California sub (turkey, provolone, avocado, bacon) and it was pretty amazing. -It's simple, but fresh and tasty. Cons -Kind of pricy for a sandwich. My boyfriend and I got two subs (he did get the biggest size), two chips, and two drinks, and that was 28 dollars. Ouch. -He got the roast beef and provolone sub and said it was on the dry side. (Although he said the beef was really fresh). No sauces beside the oil and vinegar and salts they use the "Jersey Mike's" way or whatever. So not exactly the kind of place if you like an elaborate sub. They don't have many choices (no olives or spinach or mushrooms, etc) Over-all, great sub shop. I'm excited to try the hot subs. read more

I've been here tons of times, but today was the worst. Ordered through Jersey Mike's app, and had to wait 20 minutes past the time given for pick up. Then someone threw a bag on the counter, said it was my order a rushed away. Unfortunately, there was only 3 sandwiches and I ordered 4. Had to wait to get someone's attention. When I finally did they asked me which sandwich I was missing. I had no idea because they weren't marked. Unwrapped a couple. Then they made the 4th sandwich. I got home and two of the sandwiches were wrong. Should've checked of course. It would have been faster and more accurate to not use the app. I won't be returning. It was a really frustrating experience. They're just not ready for app orders on top of walk-in customers. read more

WOW JUST WOW!!!! I was extremely satisfied with everything about this place! I ordered the chipotle cheese steak aka #43, it surpassed all of my expectations. The steak was out of this world, every bite jam packed with flavor. The tender juiciness went hand and hand with the chipotle and cheese creating a hot sub masterpiece! The diner area was impecable, everything neatly arranged for the comfort of the customers. And don't even get me started on the customer service, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, eager to help! I end this review with the homemade cookies on the front counter, reminded me of the ones my grandma baked for me and my siblings as a kid. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Jersey Mike's Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Very disappointed. I was in line, with my sandwich waiting for the food of people behind me to be finished before I could pay. I finished all the chips and part of the sandwich in line before I was allowed to pay. Very disappointed. Great food though! read more

I came in here not too long after they opened. Sure they were disorganized but what they lacked in that they certainly made up for in humor. Everyone was super social and trying to lighten the mood as they were a bit backed up and struggling to figure things out, so in that aspect, it was entertaining and the sub was certainly delicious. My only complaint is that I had a special request for one of the subs to withhold a couple of things and they literally had to make it three times before getting it right. The second time (you have to wait for them to cook the chicken each time, which is nice) I was just going to take it as is and let the man deal with it or scrape off what he didn't want....but they realized their mistake and made it again. I must've stood around for a solid 10 or more minutes just waiting and feeling awkward. They didn't even offer me a free drink or anything for my 'quick-to-go-I-don't-have-much-time-to-spare" run in taking so long. Hopefully next time I try this things have settled down and are running a bit more smoothly. The food was overall decent but not worth a total of 30 minutes to enjoy it.. read more

Awesome people here make for awesome service. The staff is so nice and after awhile they've gotten to know who I am. I totally recommend getting the original 13 or 8/9. Those are the best. Sometimes the lettuce can get a bit overwhelming but let them know and they will take care of it. Thanks everyone at this location! read more

Review from ENC location: They only had 2 employees working on Sunday (Labor Day weekend) at 1145am (lunch time). We had called in a phone/pick up order so we could pick up food prior to heading to the beach. When we entered the location we were not greeted and we stood at the pickup line for 10 minutes w/o any acknowledgement. There were about 10 people in line (soccer team) and they looked annoyed at the lack of staff, waiting, and poor customer service. I worked in the restaurant business for almost 20 years and there lack of greeting, eye contact, or even a, "we'll be right with you," caused my family and I to leave w/o food or an apology. La Costa: We ended up driving 15 mins away to the La Costa location. They had 8 staff members working, greeted my family and I immediately, and the manager apologized on behalf of this ENC location. We will obviously not be visiting the closer ENC location and will drive the extra 15 mins to the La Costa location. Kuddos to La Costa management for having proper staff, and shame of Encinitas management for losing loyal patrons! read more

Delicious Subs! I love the philly cheese steak for a hot sub & the turkey with provolone is super fresh and tasty. Only complain is that on the weekends it tends to get busy and for some reason they don't run both meat slicers while there is a line going out the door-- The last time I went there was the one manager slicing the meat while the 3 other employees watched-- I really think they could find a better way to keep the line moving and stream line things to keep up with the rush. read more

When I walked in, I was a little Hesitant because of the size of the line. However the workers were churning and burning and the actual wait time was minimum. Even though they were really busy the staff was still very friendly and seemed to actually enjoy their job. I got the number 8 miles way and, as always, was absurdly delicious. The only thing else to add is that the restaurant was very clean and tidy. read more

I had the honor of having the very best cheese steak of my 75 year old life at jersey mike's in La Costa center this week. Marc cooked it with love and it was warm, creamy, delicious and just full of melted cheese and stuffed with the best quality steak. it was out of this world and more than yummy!!!!! I have had bad cheese steaks and good ones from San Francisco to New York, but never ever half as good as this one, honestly!! I went back two days later for another one. You have not tasted the best until you go to Jersey Mike's in La Costa. Ask for Marc, because he will fix it with love. read more

That was not jersey Mike's service I love, the one I first experience in Washington years back or the from ones in san diego. No greeting, smug, and not offerd for my points. Whatever I guess I will just go somewhere else on my lunch to bad this is a tasty place to eat. read more

I am reading these other reviews and shocked that they are referring to the Encinitas location. Yes, this is a very busy location, however the product does not have any negative effect on the rush. The sandwiches are always great, the staff is super friendly. Of course there are going to be teenagers working at a sandwich shop! Don't listen to the complainers on here, go see for yourself how great the sandwiches taste. My fav is #7 Mike's Way! read more

This location is seriously the best! We always feel welcome. They make me and my family feel like family. I order custom off the menu and they always acquiesce. I really appreciate that tonight the guy helping us told us about "Give Back" which tomorrow all proceeds will go to Radys Children's Hospital. They do it once a year. He was super knowledgeable and passionate about it and we will definitely be back tomorrow to support. Love that team. So great!!! read more

Went there Saturday afternoon. I am not a regular at Jersey Mike's. The sandwich I ordered was made on the grill and in the back, which I didn't realize. Based on that you would think the person taking my order would ask if I need anything special...nope. I told the condiment person no cheese and they had to remake the meat that was already started. I told the condiment person no tomato and they had to fix that in the back. The manager came out and yelled at me, saying next time I need to tell them special needs when I order the sandwich. There won't be a next time at that location. read more

The lady that was preparing my sandwich with all the toppings was very rude to me it hurt my feelings, I was just trying to tell her what I wanted on my sandwich and she told me in a very frustrated and annoyed voice " I can't hear you". The music was loud so maybe they should turn the volume down so the workers can hear their customers and I know it's hard times now because we all have to wear masks so it does muffle our voices but her tone of voice was harsh her body language was annoyed and her eye contact was angry and I told her "never mind" because I didn't want her to get more annoyed. Life's hard enough why can't we just all be kind! Everybody else that worked there was very polite and nice! Especially the lady that was checking me out the cashier she was super friendly! read more

Great service with a smile and a friendly attitude. Sandwiches are delicious and full of goodness. I'm coming back!

Attended the Grand Opening last night and the sandwich was incredible. I ordered the italian number 13. We got a chance to hear from the owners and were impressed by their community involvement, specifically with 2 local middle schools. Mr. Weir expressed Jersey Mike's desire to give back to the community. I can't wait to go back for a different sandwich. read more

So... I'm really not sure about the other reviews. I had the #4 and it was delicious. The location was clean and the staff was super friendly. This was one of the only Jersey Mikes that I've been to that has 2 lines so that they can be ready for the lunch rush. I've never had a bad experience at a Jersey Mike's including this one. Shame on that woman that said she'd rather eat at Subway!!! read more

I was very upset that I was forced to put a tip on my bill when there is no table service! The prices are already too high at this sub shop compared to others in the area, without being forced to leave a tip also. Sixteen dollars for two mini subs and one regular drink is highway robbery! read more

Good subs but do not go during covid-19. Store keep door closed all day and is packed of people inside without face cover.

All I can say is WOW!!!! I didn't know what I was thinking the last time I wrote a review, but this place is GREAT. Just like Subman they slice there meat, but better. I'm glad I came in to give this place a second chance. This will be my new place to eat. I'm telling all my friends on how fast and great the service is. I m give them 2 thumbs and 2 big toes up..... read more

Staff of burnt Encinitas kids. Which I have no problem with... Except the one kid that freaking DROOLS out of the corners of his mouth while looking down at your sandwich. I pray every time as I watch intently that not a drop falls onto my sandwich. It's f***ing disgusting. I love jersey mikes I go all the time but this one drool meister HAS TO GO. read more

Food was dynamite, as always... however today I have never experienced such HORRIBLE customer service. This is NOT a review to tell you not to patronize this place, cuz the food and service have always been top notch. However ~ it's directed at the owner so that he knows the three kids making the sandwhiches this afternoon around 2pm were just plain awful... and rude. I've been eating here since they opened and today is the first time I've ever had a bad experience... so bad, that it brought me to write this. Sorry "Mike" ~ read more

Call you order in!! The line is severely long but worth it. All the ingredients are super fresh.

I ordered a veggie wrap and it was so small... Id rather get a $5 foot long for $3.00 cheaper, twice the amt of food and way more veggies

Best cheesesteaks this side of the Mississippi!!! Going in on Superbowl Sunday I was worried about waiting forever to get a cheesesteak before the game but was amazed at how many people were working and they all were running around like crazy! I called my order in a few min before and when I got there it was hot off the grill!! Staff is always super friendly. You may have to wait a bit if you dont call your order in but it is def worth the wait!! read more

I absolutely love Jersey Mike's. I have been visiting their different CA locations for the past few years and I would take them over any sub shop. The Encinitas store isn't as great as the Solana Beach store, but is closer to me. I normally order the #13 Italian Sub, Mike's Way, with extra juice, or the #6 Roast Beef and Provolone, Mike's Way, extra juice. The roast beef at the Encinitas store isn't as pink and juicy, that's really my only complaint since I absolutely love how Jersey Mike's usually cooks it. Their regular sandwhiches are so large I can barely finish one in a sitting. The hot sandwhiches are also very delicious. This will always continue to be my #1 pick! Goodbye Subway- your subs may be sightly cheaper, but you always use unfresh & poor quality ingredients! No Thanks!! I heart Jersey Mike's! read more
