    Reuben. (Lacking more sauerkraut and cheese)
    Victor H.

    I've wanted to try this place for the longest time and finally got to come last week. I wish they had longer opening hours, but it is what it is. So, I ordered a Reuben sandwich which I was craving for the longest time, a smoked meat poutine and some kind of bottled juice. The total bill came to over $52, a little on the high side of prices. I had the Reuben. The smoked meat was amazing with just the right amount of saltiness BUT it was seriously lacking sauerkraut and more cheese. But it is what it is. My partner had the drink ($4.99???) and the smoked meat poutine. It was a great meal as I was told All in all, it was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it But I probably won't be back as it's pretty pricy and their hours are not conducive to me driving and fitting into my schedule. They open late at 11am and close early at 4pm. It's like I have to fit them into my calendar. No thanks. All in all they still get an average of 3 stars because of their food.

    Take away front.

    January 16, 2024: I found this place on instagram. These food bloggers are full of crap! This is a joke & is/was a 2* at best. They were completely disorganized. Food was scattered all over the place & I waited 25 minutes for my food, only to be disappointed. The food LOOKED good but it wasn't that good at all. The fries ($5.95) were tasteless & so was the coleslaw. I had the coleslaw off-sandwich because I like to taste the authentic food & not to be masked by dressings & such. The smoked beef brisket sandwich ($20.95) was small. So small that I ate it easily & was left wanting additional food. The BBQ'd beef used for the sandwich was sous vide & didn't appear BBQ'd at all. Meaning it was precooked & heated in a bag in hot water. That was disappointing. I'm not even sure if the BBQ sauce used on the sandwich was house made. There is ZERO ambiance and there's no seating or bathrooms, just an open raw kitchen. The person that looked after me couldn't get the debit machine working & there was no cash register to give change for my cash payment. She was very nice to speak with, however. At their present configuration, I would not recommend this spot.

    I got wind of this place a few days ago and because I live in the area, I wanted to check it out. It's clear that it's still early days for this place. There are some gaps in service and they are still working out the kinks. These are all expected when starting out so I'm not too concerned about it. The staff were friendly and eager to meet the demand which there is clearly a lot by looking at the line during lunch. The food is clearly made with love and passion, once they are up and running smooth, it's clear this place will be unstoppable. I had the following: The Reuben, The Smash Burger and the Smoked Brisket Sandwich. Was it a lot, yes. But I couldn't say no to any of them to fully get a hold of what they are capable of. The meal was great. I found the seasoning on the saltier side at times, but that is more of a preference thing than anything. The fillings were spot on and the cook on the meats were perfect, as were the sauces and sides that they each came with. The restaurant does a wonderful job on branding and it's clear they came out with a well formed concept that is engaging for consumers. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. It's rare to find a place that holds passion and good food in the same place. I wish them all the success as they deserve it wholeheartedly. Try to order in advance online to beat the lunch rush! Coming in at noon could result in a bit of a wait. A worthwhile wait, but a wait none the less. Keep up the great work!

    Omg the smoked beef brisket sandwich! Melt in your mouth tender and delicious, even after the drive from the restaurant home. Worth taking the time to go there on the few days they are open. I also got the house salad which was a huge portion with fresh crispy lettuce, and yummy dressing.

    Their pulled pork sandwich and pulled pork poutine was my favourite. My sister said their brisket sandwich does not skimp on their meats and my husband said his smash burger was Pro tip: Order online the day of. I tried to order the night before. They apparently had a power outage/something went wrong with their ordering system and the owner canceled/refunded my order without my knowing. Luckily, when I arrived, there was not a long line and waited about 10 mins to get my order fresh. Ambiance: they are a takeout spot and quite smokey when they get barbecuing. If you weren't hungry when you arrive, you'll definitely leave waiting to eat their food as soon as you can

    Brisket sandwich - best items on the menu
    Lexia R.

    Rating 3.5/5. The brisket sandwich is amazing. The rib sandwich is mid and the pulled pork is mid. Did not try the Ruben sandwich as it was sold out or the smash burger. The service was good and ambiance - it's pick up or sit down across the street on patio furniture... seating opens up quickly after 12:30pm. I would recommend coming here for the brisket-based items but overall i had higher expectations.

    Double Smash Burger
    Erin G.

    I don't even know how to put beauty into words. This is the best Reuben sandwich I've ever eaten in my whole life. This burger was also amazing. The service was top notch! Please come eat here. There's no seating so take out only but I sat on the curb outside this place and ate my food and would do it over again without hesitation. Seats or no seats I'll be here

    Reuben

    I'm totally shocked at any negative review for this place. It's a take out restaurant and the food is one step above top notch. The fries are awesome. Reuben is ridiculous. Pulled pork has such a good Smokey flavour. Double smash burgers are just the way anyone would imagine heaven would be like. Portions are plentiful! I've been there many times, to say the least and still working my way through the menu. But I just had write this after seeing anything but 5 stars from everyone who have consumed their creations. You can easily tell that everything is scratch made with all the love and passion you'd want from a chef. Well done!

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. Flavors on the subs were nice overall. Chicken was kind of dry on its own and my husband said his Philly steak one was overpowered by the delicious onions that the steak didn't stand out at all. Will probably come back when it calms down a bit
