Thank you Jersey Mike's for making the sandwiches for the volunteers at our Conner's Cause event in May. Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding. Thank you again and I look forward to another Turkey sandwich soon. read more

Just had lunch there today--the place was packed, the food was great, the service was fast and friendly, and Joe, the owner, greeted us personally to make sure everything was OK. We've found our new lunch getaway! read more

Best sandwich place ive ever been too. the food always has a great flavor. The meat is juicy and the cheese is always a nice finish, so why a 3 star review??? 2 words CUSTOMER SERVICE no one has a positive attitude or any sense of urgency! Long story short you come for the delicious food not the customer service you wont feel welcome :( read more

Horrible quality subs. I used to enjoy going for a good quick sub, but now the quality is horrid. The bread tasted like it was 9 days old and had dark spots on it, the tomatoes had gone bad. I ordered it Mikes way and they didnt even add the olive oil or vinegar. If you want good sub sandwiches do NOT go here. read more

The turkey provolone is so good here! I recommend getting your sub mike's way as week. They have a good selection of hot and cold subs. There is a nice outdoor patio here as well! read more

Ever since a co-worker introduced me to this place, I have been hooked! I was kind of sick of the usual fair of sandwiches at those other chain places, and was excited to try something new (yes, lunch is the exciting part of my work day). I was glad I did because I have my new favorite lunch place. Fresh bread you can smell when you walk in the door, fresh cut meats right in front of you, and piled high! The usual selection of greens, but Mikes ways is a definite recommendation, as well as their amazing Italian sandwich. read more

I wanted a great sandwich, but not familiar with any sandwich shops along El Camino Real so I stopped in here. Had I been on 101, I would have stopped at Sub Palace which makes a pretty fantastic sammy. My friend from Jersey swears Jersey Mikes are the best sandwiches so I thought I would give them a try. WHAT A MISTAKE! THE WORST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD. The bread had no flavor. The turkey club with Mikes choice, or whatever they call it, was just piss poor. I am sorry, but avocado spread is not avocado. Felt completely ripped off paying $5.50 for a mini, which was the right size for me, but a waste of good money on such a lousy sandwich. And to make things even worse, they handed me a twisted bag with my sandwich which had not one single napkin in it even though I told them it was to go. The place was hopping, so I guess I just don't get it. read more

Not sure where to begin with this one...sandwiches are WAY overpriced at $7.50 and the sandwich makers take too long to make the sandwich. The bread very dry and it came without condiments like mayo or mustard. There was really nothing special. We also ordered a wrap that took forever to make. When we got it the hot chicken made the lettuce soggy and it wasn't wrapped tight making it a sloppy mess. It wasn't cut completely either so when you ripped off the bottom 1/2 it fell apart. This was my first time eating at Jersey Mike's and I will not be returning. I will take Togo's anyway over this place. They do get a star for how friendly they were and for giving me my money back. read more

Seriously, this place and it's staff are just unbelievably amazing! Very genuinely kind, friendly, and quick! And of course the subs are delicious which is what keeps me coming back. Places like this nowadays are rare, kudos to you guys! read more

This is the best Jersey Mike's ever. Everybody who works here is super friendly and fast. I work nearby and come in almost every day. Everyone here made the extra effort to remember my name and my favorite orders. If the owner/district manager is reading this, everyone who works here deserves a raise ASAP. read more

Recently i have been going to this location often because sandwiches seem to be one of my big pregnancy cravings and jersey mike's seem to be the only place around my work that has fresh sliced turkey i trust.However.. Since going here i have noticed and experienced a couple things that have made me question coming back. First, almost every time i visit this location i get asked by the staff "what i do for a living" or "where i work" "if my work it busy" etc. I get the concept of small talk with the customer but aren't those questions a little personal?. Next i noticed after making a few sandwiches the employee making the sandwiches will scrape all the excess lettuce off the counter tops and throw it back in the bin of lettuce to use on the next sandwich. Pretty disgusting. And finally today i went in for my usual sandwich and came out with a dripping soggy mess by the time i got back to work. I asked for the standard "mike's way" and got a sandwich drenched in oil and vinegar. In the 15 min it took my to drive back to work the oil had already seeped through the wrapper and was starting to soak the bag. Yes, when the sandwiches are made carefully and right they are delicious! but i kind feel like its a gamble walking in there. Definitely not consistent every time. read more

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

See all

I really wanted to like Jersey Mike's. I had heard good things about the other locations and wanted to try it at the new Encinitas location. I've been to a lot of sandwich places and had a lot of subs, but I don't think I've ever had such a poor experience as I did here. Let me preface by saying that I'm an easy going person and usually the last to bitch about anything at a restaurant. It's hard work with little reward. So I went into Jersey Mike's, and waited a longer than normal amount of time before the busy girl behind the counter acknowledged me and took my order. The menu says that any sandwich can be a wrap for the same price. I ordered a Turkey and Provolone wrap with no tomatoes, onions, oil, and vinegar, and was handed my ticket. I looked at it, and everything seemed in order. Then I watched the usual sub shop routine of the guy behind the counter building subs for the customers before me. Adding whatever they requested, and leaving out what they didn't want. When it came to my turn, I was ignored. I thought they'd just slap down a tortilla of my choice and start filling it with stuff I requested. Instead, the guy behind me started telling them what he wanted as the sub maker started on his. I was a little confused, but thought someone else would come up and make it. When I got to the register, the girl asked what I had. Before I could speak, said sub maker interjected that I had ordered a hot sub. I showed the register girl my ticket and said that I ordered a wrap. She then informed me that my wrap was made by the hot subs, so that's why there was confusion. I then asked if I could add the fresh vegetables behind the glass to my wrap as everybody else had as theirs was being made. That's when the record screeched to a stop. Three people behind the counter looked at me like I requested the space shuttle be re-engineered seconds before launch. I asked if I could add peperoncinis, their sweet pepper spread, and spices. So the girl took my ticket and basically said that I could add that stuff and it would include everything I didn't want on the ticket. I informed her that those were the things I didn't order. Then the original order taker came over and cleared everything up with me and disappeared to make the changes to my wrap. I then sat down and waited. After about five minutes, I pulled out my phone and looked at Yelp to see if anybody else had this experience. Nope, all 5 stars. After another 10 minutes, three people behind the counter yelled my name and I got up and took my wrap to go. When I got home, I unwrapped it and looked into the little wrap cut in half, only to notice that everything I had requested to be added to the wrap was missing and everything I didn't want was staring up at me. I was so hungry that I ate it anyway. Turkey was okay. I had to check to make sure the flavorless provolone was there. Also, as I ate it, it started dripping an odd white liquid (insert joke here). Overall, really bad experience at this sub shop. Won't go back here again. read more

First time ever at a Jersey Mikes and I don't think I'll return to this location. No one explained how to order correctly and I felt extremely rushed even when there was no customers. Now my sandwich is terrible and I wasted almost $12. THIS location needs better customer service training. read more

This location has some great subs but what I noticed was there weren't many veggie choices for the sandwiches. The bread is fresh and tasted great. Over all good sandwich and nice people working and fast service. Just would be nice to see some more veggie choices for my sandwich :) read more

manager told me to give them another try. and I get a super soggy sandwich that's was to disgusting to eat. the lettuce the use was swimming in water and transferred all the water it was in to my sandwich. I will be driving back with my uneaten POS they try to pass off as food and take this up with the district manager maybe they will care if they are serving crap to their customers. this is the only Jersey mikes that can't seem to grasp the concept of how to make an editable sandwich. been to several other mikes and they are all fantastic to bad i live by the reject one. read more

Jersey Mike's Subs - totally super soggy and nasty pass on this place - Sandwiches Near Me - Encinitas, California

Been coming here since it opened. Im from the N. East where sub are the best. Jersey Mikes in Encinitas is a little bit of back home. The subs are all delicious the manager l believe is Natalie runs a tight friendly crew. Even when crowded they all greet you. CLEAN FRESH TASTY FRENDLY!! read more

I got a regular cheesesteak. Sandwich was pretty good, but for almost $8 I was expecting more. Having said that, wait time was minimal and the customer service was great. Definitely one of the better options if you are at the Forum, but I prefer other options down the street. read more

Very tasty cold sandwiches if you order them 'Mike's Way.' Mikes Way is spritzing the innards with olive oil and vinegar, followed by oregano. I do not recommend the hot sandwiches (eg, Philly steak). The giant size sandwich is enough for 3 meals. read more

The best sandwiches around, get it Mikes Way. The only problem is a lack of seating, but they make up for it with outdoor tables.

Best sandwich spot in San Diego hands down... Jersey mikes never disappoints, no doubt my favorite place to get a meal.

I adore the 7 made Mike's way. The staff is always super friendly and quick. I've never been disappointed with the service or the product.

I love there subs. However, they are very busy and I use their online ordering to save time

We stopped in at Jersey Mike's in Encinitas a few days ago and were pleasantly surprised to find the subs just as good as what we are used to back East ( South Boston and Cape Cod). The service is excellent and the food consistently high quality ( we had been here last year, also, visiting family). read more

Better than subway or Quiznos. Better bread, fresher ingredients. Just need to get olives!

Love coming here... the food is always great they have catered quite a few parties for us and the staff is fantastic. I've never had a bad experience interacting with anyone even with all my picky sandwich requests. The staff always goes above and beyond and their customer service level is an 11! read more

First off, EASY PARKING....then you get a Great sandwich!!!!!!! Busy but the line is moving! The team of workers have you served so do not let a line fool you. So much better than any sub shop I have tried out here. Having grown up in New Jersey and ordered from the original location, I know a good sub. Clean, friendly and good. read more

Don't know what it is, but I love this place. I actually crave it occasionally and will drive 15 mins from work to get here for lunch. When on a road trip, I'll seek them out when I want something light and uncomplicated. Maybe it is the paper thin sliced deli meats, or the above average bread, or the "Mikes Way" with oil, vinegar, and oregano. Whatever it is, I just know that I can't seem to replicate it at home. 3 stars is the best a chain based sub shop is going to get from me - so consider it 5 stars if you want to adjust for deflation. read more

Good Stuff! Fresh ingredients, super yummy bread, Awesome people. Since this place is crazy busy every time I go, I make sure to phone in my order if I'm in a hurry. The folks running this place are doing it right. Staff is friendly and attentive, place is always clean, though small, there is plenty of seating outside, and the subs always hit the spot! read more

My daughter and I go to the Jersey Mike's location in Encinitas. She likes the kids meal and I love the classic Italian with everything! The staff here is great and doesn't cut corners, you get a great tasting large portion every time and all the ingredients are very fresh. If you crave a classic east coast sub and you are in Encinitas, go there. You will not be disappointed. read more

Jersey Mikes has the most delicious sandwiches around. Also, the store manager Natalie is awesome!

Really great subs. Employees are clean and friendly. The orders are processed quickly. This is everything you could want in fast food

A nice break from subway and my son loves it. A bit too crowded sometimes but I guess thats cause it tastes so good.

Went there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon months ago. They were very busy and had a line out the door. They had the music on so loud I had to yell my order across to the young lady making my sandwich. Even with my yelling and pointing at the ingredients she still got the order wrong. Now when I feel like a sandwich for lunch, I head over to wichwich. No yelling required, just check the box. read more

Customer service at this place is a complete joke! I went in yesterday 9/20/17 to have lunch and once I was ready to pay I was asked to enter my phone number. I entered my number and knew I had a ton of points to use since I spend a ton of money at Jersey Mike's. The young man said sorry you cant use any of your points and then asked for my money. I thought he was joking and started to laugh. He said I don't know why you can't use them its broken so today its $9 and some change. Not once did he offer to find out why or have a manager explain. I will not be returning and I will no longer be getting my catering orders here for my staff. read more

Val makes best VEGGIE Sandwich in town Go in and see her at Jersey Mikes, have her load it up!!

I hate to write this. Their bread is awesome as well as the quality of their meat. But their choice of sides and sandwich condiments is HORRIFIC. read more

I come here at least once a week and normally its fantastic, but I just got a pastrami sandwich and all it was was bread and maybe 2 slices of meat. It was awful. read more

Attending the soft opening of Jersey Mike's Encinitas (Target Center) last night. The owners are already doing good works for the local Jr. High schools. The food was wonderful and the staff was unfrazzled by the crowds. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is the best place for lunch or a quick dinner: the food is great, very fresh, and the people are wonderful. You can tell by the service and care given that a local family owns and operates the restaurant. It gets five stars on my clean-meter. I was never a sandwich shop gal, but I have changed my ways and look forward to visiting when I'm down south again. read more

Jersey Mikes Encinitas is always delicious!! I just hired them to cater a family gathering yesterday and everything went so smooth. They delivered on time and set up as requested. I would definitely hire them to cater again!! read more
