Review: Jersey Mike's Roast Beef and Provolone Sub

Jersey Mike's Famous Roast Beef and Provolone cold sub promises "Certified Angus USDA Choice" roast beef cooked on the premises paired with provolone and then built the way you like it. I picked up mine "Mike's Way" which comes with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, red wine vinegar, olive oil and spices.

A sizable "regular" comes in at $7.75.

Real roast beef cooked on the premises is what drew me to this one. Yon actually see them grab a big hunk of roast beef and slice it in front of you. They don't skimp on the meat either! The roast beef was really good and sliced thin but not too thin allowing you to still enjoy the meats texture. It's also not overly salted like standard cured deli meats so you get a good beefy flavor.

Provolone seems to be the only cheese option at Mike's but it is freshly-sliced like their meats.

Like Subway, the bread is baked in-house but your options are limited to white or wheat. The quality of the bread is better and it has a very nice, very thin layer of crustiness to it.

The veggies were fresh. Although the selection is more limited than Subway, it's a pretty standard set for a sandwich shop. I really like the standard "Mike's Way" build; it's pretty traditional but I like traditional and it's very good and so it Jersey Mike's Roast Beef and Provolone sub.
