A friend and I stopped in for a quick bite at Jersey Mike’s Subs the other day and were pleasantly surprised.  We were in a hurry and walked in around 1:00, we almost turned around and left because it was a little crowded, but we noticed that the line was actually moving pretty quick.  I guess they are a chain, but neither of us had ever heard of them before.  The staff were all extremely friendly and the sandwiches were prepared as quickly as any Subway or Togo’s, but had a lot more flavor and clearly better ingredients.  I was particularly impressed with the great chipotle cheese steak, it included Grilled onions, peppers and chipotle mayo.  Cheese steak aficionados would probably knock down the credibility when they offer you the choice to have it on wheat bread, but I did it anyway, and it was really  good.

My friend had their turkey and provolone sandwich and was quite complimentary.  He said their turkey was really fresh and the all of the fixings made for a simple but flavorful sandwich.  It had onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil and their blend of spices.  He also had a couple of their cookies and said they were really good. 

Next time you are in the Tempe Town Lake area, stop by and check them out.  With great sandwiches and a friendly staff, you can’t go wrong.  We were very impressed with how quickly they moved everyone through, but greeted everyone in a friendly non rushed manner.
