Wow!!! Lots of votes!!! Jersey Mikes & Galloways must have LONG lines down Randall Rd. That must be why the proposed Randall Rd expansion is being considered ;) lol. Here is a QUICK TIP: in order to avoid a crowd of THOUSANDS of hungry SUB LOVERS check out BUBS SUBS or if you are on the East Side of town go to A.S.S. That should help you save some wasted time in long lines. Who has a 5 HOUR LUNCH BREAK?!?!?! lol lol BUBS SUBS will get you in & out in a matter of MINUTES!!! Shhhhhhh the SECRET WONT LAST FOREVER so HURRY in for LUNCH!!! mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm BUBS SUBS!!!

Jersey Mike's is the freshest & best around town! We love the generous portions of meat & the fact that they are sliced fresh when you order. The staff is always so friendly when we go in. Congrats-these are truly unique subs that don't taste like all the others! Mike's Way is our way :)

I've been to them all. Bubs Subs is by far the best. I think someone voted Chicago style to get that many votes for Jersey Mikes.

MW I challenge you to try BUBS SUBS. I am not saying that Jersey Mikes is bad at all. I really liked to visit Jersey Mikes on occaison before I opened BUBS SUBS. But BUBS SUBS takes fresh & delicious to a whole new level. We make quite a few items from scratch. Roast our own Turkey Daily. Roast our own Homemade Italian Beef Daily. Homemade Sauces from scratch. We hand pick all of our veggies fresh from Caputo's daily. Homemade Giardiniera & REAL Italian Bread. We locally source as many ingredients as we can & we ALWAYS buy the best of EVERYTHING possible. I think Jersey Mikes is good for a chain but BUBS SUBS is sooooo delicious ;)

I have had a sub from each place listed and Bub's is by far my family's favorite. I feel welcomed every time I visit, everyone who works there takes pride in their sub making, and I leave full and satisfied. I wish more establishments would open that are not part of a chain, took pride in their food and served it's customers just as well as Bub Sub's. Thanks for the hard work and oh so good deliciousness.

I almost forgot to mention that I agree with Chris about more people opening up independent restaurants! I love finding new delicious places! so so sad to see nothing but national restaurant chains EVERYWHERE! I also want to see more homemade from scratch cooking. Homemade is where the flavor is!
