Why America Loves Jersey Mike's
According to the ACSI report, higher satisfaction often comes down to consistency and perceived freshness. Jersey Mike's stands out for slicing meats and cheeses to order right in front of customers, which gives it a made-fresh feel that many competitors don't offer.
My order? I thought you'd never ask. When I'm at Jersey Mike's, I order the turkey and provolone sandwich on rosemary parmesan bread, made Mike's Way, with pepper relish added. It may be basic, but it always hits.
