First Jersey Mike's Subs now open in Santa Clara an East Coast transplant - any reports?

Question

First Jersey Mike's Subs in NorCal now in Santa Clara, a New Jersey sub chain. Meats sliced fresh in front of customers, bread dough flown in from Jersey, sandwiches w/ oil & red wine vinegar.

No. 13 the Original Italian is the chain's top seller, with 5 meats: salami, pepperoni, ham, prosciuttini & cappacuolo & then provolone. Also popular is the roast beef sandwich, made from top rounds of beef cooked daily in-house.

Open daily 10am-9pm

Hope to read some reports & from people that can say if it's as good as in NJ.

Answer

If it is anything like the original in Point Pleasant NJ, then it should be very good. Have had more than my share of Mike's subs over the years.

Having said that, a lot can be lost on the way from NJ to Ca :)

Answer

This is excellent news. The Bay Area doesn't have enough "sub/hoagie" style sandwich places. Back on the East Coast this was the paradigmatic something you grabbed for your lunch break. 

#6 (roast beef), Mike's way, light mayo, thank you.

Answer

Second location coming to Mountain View - 

"Our new location at San Antonio Rd on El Camino Real is projected to open June 26th."

Answer

Ate my first Jersey Mike's cheesesteak from the Philadelphia train station a couple of months ago. I know the purists would probably scoff, but I enjoyed it, and I couldn't make it to Reading Terminal before my train, which is my usual go-to for cheesesteaks to go. Wish we had them in western Mass.

Answer

C'mon, people! Surely someone has checked it out.

Answer

Being in Santa Clara yesterday reminded me that after the same BBQ contest last year, I stopped by Jersey Mike's to check it out. No memory at this point of the two sandwiches that I picked up for my brother, which appear to be a meatball one and the #6 roast beef Mike's Way that mikeh recco'd. I did like being able to watch my own sandwich being assembled to make course corrections. Anyway, some photos of the early going at this branch.
