I had the same impression as the other guy, have only been to Jersey Mike's once I think: moved close to one 9 months ago, tried it in the first month, never felt the urge to go back. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing impressive either. I'd pick it over a Subway, but prefer JJ, Potbelly and probably Firehouse.
Speaking of Firehouse ate there last night - was really pleasantly surprised how good the NY Steamer sub was (corned beef & pastrami). I thought it would be OK (hence ordering it), but it exceeded expectations. Very flavorful. I usually order a ruben and for my cured beef needs, so am used to eating with thousand island dressing; I forgot how darn good CB/Pastrami is with deli mustard.
