I joined the rewards program while ordering online, but nah, I'm good, if this is the type of food that the employees are willing to serve.

Lettuce on the salad bar was brown. It was late in the evening and the server said the salad bar had been out all day and that they had been slow. Maybe some other items are better, but the club sandwich was very disappointing.

Four stars might be a little generous, not because of anything bad, but because of the lack of anything amazing. I mean, it's good, but nothing to write home about. Same old stuff on the menu that's on every other deli menu. Again, it's fine, just not very interesting. My Southwest Wrap was serviceable, and the potato soup had a nice bacon-y flavor. If you're in the area and are not feeling adventurous, it's a good place to get something you're familiar with for lunch. The staff is patient and very friendly. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants and is what I requested when I was in the hospital with my last baby! We love the soup, tea and California club. Management goes out of their way to treat the patrons as friends! We moved away for four years and when we returned, several staff members remembered us! read more

GREAT EVERY TIME…read more Firehouse subs is definitely one of the sandwich spots we can always count on to have great service and great food. And in the Starkville location you're definitely not disappointed. We are always greeted properly and have our food within a few minutes of ordering. Often times we get takeout and never have any issue. They do follow CDC regulations and guidelines correctly and their price point is always reasonable. This location is always kept very clean and in good order.

I used to go to this specific place a few years ago when I lived and since moving back I thought to…read morego again. Sadly they have just slipped downhill. I go inside and the girl behind the counter (not the one making the sandwiches) is on her phone talking to someone about what streaming service she was going to pay for or something like that. When I went to order she kept being rude and cutting me off. I went and got a drink from the machine and it tasted like the carbonation had run out. I would have brought it up to the girl but her conversation was apparently the most important thing in the world at the time. I got my sandwich shortly after and before I could walk away with it the girl making the sandwich needed it back because she "forgot something". Apparently what she forgot was to drown my sandwich in bbq sauce making it completely inedible. I can only assume this stems from a problem a lot of businesses are having where they hire young workers and then proceed to not hold them accountable for basic rules of business like customer service. I'll just go to one of the many other sandwich places from now on. It's a shame how bad this place has gone.

Then it popped up when I was looking for fast food places around here one night last week, so I went then and had a good experience. Today was my second time going to this location (third time EVER going to any Jersey Mike's), and I again had a good experience that I think is worth noting. Yes, Jersey Mike's is a little pricey, but the food is amazing with even better service. I walked in there wanting to get something different from what I got last week, and the girl who took my order was so helpful and offered a specific sandwich that fit my mood. While they were making my sandwich, the staff was eager to answer questions and was prepared to give suggestions concerning, in this case, the pepper relish (which was great!). "Oh yeah that's really good and would go well with mayonnaise." She was right! Again, I don't know if Jersey Mike's is new to Starkville, but this place is amazing and my new favorite place to get a sandwich (former fave was Jimmy John's). Their customer service is impressive and the reason for this review. I'll be stopping by consistently this semester in hopes that they maintain their high standards.

We…read morehave two family members with celiacs disease, who cannot consume gluten without being put in the hospital. As soon as we asked for gluten free buns the man taking our order immediately started groaning and complaining about having to do an allergen free order. This already made us feel uncomfortable, but we continued on. Then the same man asked another employee to make the meal and they agreed until he told them it was an order with an allergy. This employee complained and groaned too. It was extremely disrespectful. Especially when I know my family members would LOVE to be able to eat gluten and not have to be selective about restaurants they eat at. We find a place that is SUPPOSED TO BE accommodating, but instead left ashamed. They also proceeded to tell us after all the moaning and groaning that they only had one gluten free bun available.... So after we were made to feel bad then we were disappointed because it was all for nothing. They knew we had two gluten free orders when they started complaining... go and complain in the back all you want, but do not sit there and make someone feel small because they cant eat bread and you have to clean the equipment. Also just to add, the tables were covered in crumbs and food particles. Someone's personal Tostitos chips and salsa were left out open on one of the tables. Mind you it's 3 pm. This isn't a lunch rush time. The whole experience was awful. We love Jersey mikes, just not this one....
