Mike has to drive to Jersey and back to get your sandwich. |
Fallsgrove one is also slow. I don’t think they have a good plan to make sandwiches. Maybe their ingredients are good, but their process stinks. Still, they do GF which my kid needs, so we go there anyway. |
They used to not be slow so maybe it’s the current workers or manager. |
It's a decent sandwich for around here and I'm willing to wait a bit. OP how many subs did you order? In the future if it's worth it to you just budget in the extra time |
OK I’ve never been to this place but have been meaning to try it - can someone explain the “Mike’s way”? |
onion, lettuce, tomato, oil, vinegar, oregano & salt |
I know slicing the meat to order is their thing, but does it really make that much of a difference? Seems silly, and really slows things down, to slice every sandwich to order. I get it that fresh sliced is way better than sliced at a facility, vacuum sealed and delivered on a truck, but maybe Jersey Mike’s could slice a couple times throughout the day? That would still be fresh enough, right? |
Slicing fresh should not delay the process to the point of waiting an extra 15 minutes after your order should have been ready. Slicing takes a minute per order if that. |
Wegmans makes a good sub. |
I’ve never waited more than 15 minutes. Sounds like your location sucks. |
Not OP, but even when they have their long standing staff, it takes FOREVER. They work at a snails pace. |
At our location (Sterling, VA) it depends on who's working the slicer and the grill. When they have experienced personnel, it goes reasonably quick. Otherwise, it can be quite a wait.
Also, the number of call-in orders will affect the pace. |
Yes, they do! And I get it "mike's way" every time I go into a wegman's. I won't wait 20 min for someone to "slice" some meat while gabbing to friends and taking calls. |
It's the hot sandwiches that take forever. I ordered one once and it took forever. Cold sandwiches come out much faster. |
