I remember when this place opened I got a number of coupons for it and kept meaning to go, but never made it. Actually, I think the one time I went when I was already in the area, they told me the coupon I had had to be used at dinner time. So, I ended up leaving. I finally tried this place over a year after it opened and I didn't find it to be anything too special. I like the fact that they had a number of chicken subs and I was torn between the chicken teriyaki and the steak bomb. I ended up deciding I wanted to try sort of a Philly cheesesteak and so I got the steak bomb without mayo. We also got a half tuna sub and a kids turkey sub combo. I was very disappointed by the cheesesteak. I'm not exactly sure what "bomb" means, but I was expecting it to sort of be bursting with flavor. It really had no flavor, despite visibly having onions, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. There was oddly a strip of bacon sitting on top (not chopped into the meat) , which was really the only component that added any seasoning as it was a little salty. I ended up having to put both ketchup and barbecue sauce on it at home to give it some seasoning. The tuna sub fared better, although it was a bit liquidy so the bread was soggy. The kids turkey sub combo was just that, turkey and white bread. The portion was very good though for a kids meal as it appeared to be an entire 6-inch sub and a small order of fries with a drink. that was definitely a good deal. If you haven't been, note that they only offer white bread, no bread, or sandwich toppings put on a salad All in all, this probably wouldn't be a place I would return to unless I wanted to try the chicken teriyaki sub. But I will say that the worker who packaged my order was very friendly and the restaurant was clean. I was a little concerned about the fate of this place as nobody was in there eating, but hopefully they are doing well.

Stopped in today for a late lunch at this sub shop located in a Publix shopping center on Hodges near JTB. The small shop offers counter service and has about ten tables (mostly 4 tops) was mostly empty when I entered but they seem to do a brisk carry out business. Their menu is an assortment of hot and cold subs in 6 and 12 inch (some of which are called bombs and come in like a cheesesteak but with different proteins). I opted for an Italian sub which is a cold sub that had pepperoni, capicola, salami, and ham along with provolone. I opted for lettuce, tomato, mayo, oregano and oil and vinegar on mine (oil and vinegar is on the side). I also added fries and drink to make it a combo. A short time after ordering the young lady at the front counter brought my sub to the table and it looked great and they gave me so many fries I could not eat them all. My sub was well prepared but the pepperoni overpowered the other flavors. Also, my fries were crispy and well salted. There is ketchup on the table along with Tabasco if that's your jam but I had to peel the protective cover off my ketchup to get stuff out. Will definitely try to get back and try one of the hot subs when it is not 90+ in the shade in Jax.

Hubby and I decided to meet today at this sub shop for a quick lunch. This is not our norm as we usually do table service spots, but he was intrigued by the fries at a sub shop and it was next door to my nail salon. I will say the place was clean, the service was friendly, the fries were really good and the sandwiches were good, though falling a little short. My husband ordered the Cuban and thought it was good but it was a little greasy he said. I ordered the cold veggie sub and it was good but I wished they offered more cold veggie toppings like cucumbers, black olives, banana peppers, etc. Now let me tell you, we love fries and one order is more than enough for two people. We could not finish our two orders. They are seasoned perfectly! This is a fast casual, order at the counter, minimal restaurant. It seemed more people chose take out as opposed to eating in. We would probably do that on the next visit. The service was very good and again the space was clean. Worth checking out.

I'm standing in front of your shop at 6pm on Wednesday watching your employee clean the shop closed when your sign says open till 7pm disappointed wanted to give it a try!

Sure, moments sitting in the Jon Smith Subs café were dominated by mouthfuls of tasty steak, peppers, and mushrooms mingling with Philly flavor. Yes, I took my time dipping the skinny, salted-just-right french fries in the ranch that was readily available in the condiment zone. But between giant bites into the Steak Bomb sub and the Cuban oozing Swiss, I got to know the owner, Solomon Jones. Solomon recommended starting with the Steak Bomb or the Gator, which has all the meats - including kielbasa! I sampled the Steak Bomb (a Philly extravaganza) and the Cuban. Some Cuban sandwiches have minimal proportions, stale bread, and are pressed to paper thin. Not this one. Tons of ham, roasted pork, and Swiss oozed out from the very fresh bread. I took some spoils home and my husband and typically-picky-toddler devoured the rest (minus the pickle). Read more at ReviewJax.com.

We ordered the Italian sub and the Cuban sandwich. They were both amazing!!!! The ingredients were super fresh and the bread was to die for. The staff was very friendly and checked on us after the order was served...just to make sure everything was perfect!! I especially liked that the French fries are cooked to order and served hot with your sandwich.

Service was friendly and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Decided to go with the Italian. It was a big sandwich, and the Italian meats were quality--I could taste the difference. Bread was fresh and soft, loved the seasoning they added to the veg, and that they had green lettuces! I know that seems minor, but I feel like the norm is iceberg at most places. Was good to see green! My one concern is there was an odd smell in the store that I couldn't recognize. May have been an excess of the cleaning agent or something else.

Great visit to the brand new Jon Smith Subs location on Hodges Blvd off JTB next to Marco's Pizza . Was scrolling my newsfeed last night and saw their grand opening was Monday. Rolled in around 2:30 pm for a late lunch and was greeted very politely and quickly. There are menu boards but I sat with a paper menu. I picked three sandwiches to try( certainly not finish) and made one a combo with fries. First was the Steak Bomb Grilled onions peppers mushrooms bacon tomato provolone and mayo. The hoagie is a sof white 6" roll. The sandwich as you can see from the picture is loaded with meat and toppings. Second was the 6" Authentic Italian Cold Cuts with Genoa Salami, smoked ham, pepperoni, capicola, provolone and oregano. It's also topped with lettuce tomato pickles and onion Finally the headliner was the 12" Gator (only one size available) Sirloin steak, chicken, kielbasa, bacon onions provolone and Swamp Sauce. I scurried to unwrap each sandwich to try a bite or two while fresh. The Steak Bomb had tons of flavor and great portions of meat and veggies. Reminded me of a food truck steak sandwich, not a Philly, but a good flat top grilled steak and pepper sub. The Italian was also a big hit. Several layers of salty cured meats topped with crisp fresh veggies. It was easily 60% more than your average chain Italian sub. I wanted more than two bites but there was a Gator lurking. The Gator was obscene! It was even double wrapped to contain this prehistoric carnivoral merry go round. The hoagie, like a corset in a burlesque gig was struggling to contain all the flesh. Kielbasas popping out like hernias through my fingers. At one point there was Swamp sauce all around me, like Artex in the Swamps of Sadness! "Aaaarteeeeex!!!!" I barely got out of there alive. This is clearly their masterpiece and the rock upon which Jon will build his church . The fries were hot and crispy but needed some S&P. I'm a sucker for seasoned fries. I also grabbed a huge homemade Macadamia nut Cookie. I counted 8 staff in the back cooking, prepping and wrapping. At least three young ladies checked with me throughout my meal and provided me with to-go supplies. Something about the paint scheme reminded me of Bubbakoo's Burritos . Think it was the green. I'm not saying you have to drive across town to "experience" this place. It is definitely good quality, great portions, and friendly service. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and i got all that food and drink for about $40. People on Hodges should be thrilled to have them so go support them. -- eating lunch at Jon Smith Subs.

If you're looking for a delicious sandwich you have to try Jon Smith subs a staple from South Florida. I recommend trying the Steak Bomb it's one of my favorites and if you don't eat steak don't worry they offer it with chicken as well. The service was wonderful friendly staff and food was made to order. Don't forget to add a side of their delicious fries. If you have never tried this restaurant I highly recommend it clean environment and delicious food!!!!

Hidden little Gem. Let's just start with the customer service, 10 out of 10. They welcome you in and walk you through the menu to hep you understand what they offer. We ordered a garden salad and roast beef sandwich. The roast beef was so good I forgot to take a picture. The salad was also super fresh and the chicken stayed juiced. 5 starts.. highly recommend. If you a looking for a sandwich made with love and care.. this is your spot.
