Title: Favorite Sandwich Shops (chains)
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on January 14, 2022, 12:30:05 PM
I just smashed a turkey club from Schlotzky's, with an extra side of honey mustard and it was delightful. There's nothing like a good chain sandwich on a whim. What's your favorite sandwich shop?

It's "NJ Mikes". Also, wtf is up with calling it "NJ Mikes"?

lol. Abbreviations, bro. New Jersey is a territory of mine and we abbreviate a lot.

Also, I love Quiznos because of their pepper bar, but there's like only one in KC.  :cry:

Quiznos by a mile. The one in St Joe closed like 6 years ago.  We have like 6 Subways though, stupid St Joe idiots.

While Firehouse and Schlotzky’s are better sandwiches, JJ is my go-to. I prob avg about 1.5 JJ Vitos or Spicy East Coast Italians a week.

Love the spice bar at Firehouse. Love JJ's bread too, but I hate how they have limited sides. I like to really stack my sandwiches. Banana peppers, jalapenos, pickles, etc.

We have one close to me and I avoid it at times because of their manager. This will probably make me sound like a bad person, but the kid is so over the top nice and full of life, it makes the trip awkward. He's like "How's my main man doing today?!, What's up King?, Bro, how we killing life today?, etc" and he goes on and on and shares some random story and there's days I just can't.

Quiznos was great back in the day!  Their Black Angus steak sub was the goat of chain sandwiches.  Now I just hit up Jimmy Johns and Goodcents.

This seems like a Seinfeld episode to me, but I can't quite pin it down. Ramon the pool boy and Elaine pretending to be deaf for her car service popped into my head, but I feel there's another episode with Jerry that I can't quite put my finger on that more closely resembles 420cats predicament.

I like the giardiniera at potbelly. sometimes when I get a sandwich I buy a jar of it.
Title: Re: Favorite Sandwich Shops (chains)
Post by: Stupid Fitz on January 14, 2022, 01:41:43 PM
We don't really eat fast food type stuff, but I did a bit when I travelled and the correct answer is a good Potbelly. I would grab them a couple times a week when I was up north. Great hot sandwiches and soups. I tried the one on Johnson drive that closed and it was terrible every time. It was odd, because I love Potbelly. My other answer is based on a sandwich you can eat while driving. Jimmy Johns was my go to. Very simple and delicious and it didn't get all over me when driving.

True story about the Manhattan Goodcents. I may have mentioned this at some point. Anywho, Mrs SF would eat there like 5 times a week minimum. The dude working there absolutely loved her, like to the point of creepy and never charged her. I would go in with her every once in a while and he would charge me at first then he just started giving me free sandwiches too. Even if I went in there by myself he would never charge me.

If you post here Goodcents guy, I'm sorry you never got to bang Mrs SF (that I know of), but thank you for all the free sandwiches.

Yello Sub is so good. Also, the worst service imaginable. But, they serve beer, so all is forgiven.

our family gets Picklemans a lot, it's close to our house being the main reason but I like it pretty good.

Is that a Nebraska chain, I've never heard of it?

it's not very big but they are in MO, KS, NE, OK, and are putting one in Urbandale, IA according to their location map

I think it started in Columbia MO. I used to get it quite often from the local waldo chapter but it went downhill suddenly and I haven't been back in like 4 years. Maybe I should try again.

There are scissors, clippers, and a razor involved. Also a beard shape/trim. It takes about 30 minutes and costs $45 dollars how much do I tip?

Oh, sorry sir. Didn't realize I was talking to a $45 haircut man. You're above my advice. I get a $25 cut and tip a fiver. Sometimes more if she presses teh boobs into me a lot.

Sounds a lot like Sports Clips, as they has some well-endowed gals cutting my hair.  Most didn't do a very good job, but I love the haircutting process.  Also tip a 5er, since I didn't want to spoil them.

I wish I had a Goodcents near me, but knowing how way leads on to way, it's Jersey Mike's by a mile.

We have a Goodcents on the other side of town, 25-30 minutes away. I’ll eat there 3-4 times a year, but it’s not the same as what I grew up with.

We just had Jersey Mike’s open a mile away & it’s my new favorite.

Ole Casey's General Store. Its like $7 for a footlong and its above the Subway level of ingredients. The only issue I've run into is that sometimes it takes forever for them to finish making your sub, just very slow.

They put a Casey’s a mile from my house. It looks like a grocery store before a snow storm all the time. The staff are the slowest moving people I’ve seen. They spent a ton a money building a nice new building & there’s never anyone there. I’d like to try this, but I don’t have 30 minutes to wait for a sandwich.

A whole sub at Jer Mike's is well over a foot though, either 14 or 15 inches and they use the most meat, by far.

Casey's subs are very good, and like you said, well priced.

If their website is to be believed they have locations from Arizona to Michigan, however their website shouldn't be believed because I know the Iowa location they have on there has been closed for nearly 2 years.

Anyway, it's nice to see that little old sub shop that started in Lawrence has/had so many locations. My first Yello Sub trip was during the Sunflower State Games in 1999.

NuSubway is somehow worse. Like two months ago I had a craving for a subway meatball sub, it has a very distinct taste and younger me used to eat them like they were a cancer cure. Well I experienced immediate regret, that was a very long footlong.

As shitty as subway is, old subway did have an amazing wrap. Southwest Chipotle Steak wrap. Look at this.
Tomato basil wrap, steak, monterey cheddar cheese, guacamole, jalapeno peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, green peppers and chipotle southwest sauce.

Subway is literally the closest place from both my house and office to get any kind of food. I go to the one by my office maybe twice a month when I need something fast. I've never once been to the one by my house.

I'm a turkey sand guy and subway recently changed to a thinner cut turkey and it's actually a lot better than it was. The bread has been so weird for years now though.

Goodcents is great.  You naysayer people make me sick.  Their bread is just on a totally other level.   A little fun fact about Goodcents is that (at least at one point) had the greatest failure rate of any franchise, food or otherwise! http://cantercommercialre.com/documents/The%2025%20Riskiest%20Franchises%20for%20Lenders%201_26_09%20NuWire%20Investor.pdf (http://cantercommercialre.com/documents/The%2025%20Riskiest%20Franchises%20for%20Lenders%201_26_09%20NuWire%20Investor.pdf)

Picklemans is OK -- they've got some decent options.  Their italian beef doesn't do it for me though -- chicago snobbery sticks with me.  They've got some pretty good stuff though.

Love planet sub.  Sometimes when I go to the planet sub downtown I see Stan Weber there and he and i talk about how great Landry played against OU this season.

I also have entered a Jason's Deli renaissance.  Their location downtown just closed their dining room for a bit, but until that happened, I would go there and hound down a steak poboy and spend the afternoon with the soft-serv machine, which is free!  There's nothing they can do to interfere with your soft serve intake.  One day I was on cone 8 or so and an employee came over and asked if I had had enough ice cream and I said "no...and you know what, I don't think Jason would like to hear about you hassling me...would you like me to call Jason and find out?" and the employee walked away haha.

The last time I ate at subway was in 2016 in Waukegan, Illinois.  It was a Friday during lent and I ordered a cheese pizza from there wtf. 

I've never had NJ Mike's.  My sandwich intake is entirely dependent on what is close to me and NJ Mike's is never really the closest good option.

NJ Michael's is very good, but I'm surprised at their strong lead. Unless you get a melty cheesy one, they can be a bit dry.

if anything they are a bit wet. you have to ask them to hold the O&V, otherwise it's like not even car-safe

Jer Mike's recently ruined a light gray pullover I have. O&V squirted out on the pullover. I treated it and washed it three times and the stain never came out.

Their hot subs are very dry, in fact I used to love their phillys but I won't order from there again. Their cold subs are very wet. Do you not get the "Mike's Way?" That's where all their juice is, in the Mike's Way ordering.

Jer Mike's also has a very good rewards program, not as good as Which Wich but good nonetheless.

i’ve been to the jason deli a few times, a few key takeaways-
1) the menu makes cheesecake factory’s menu look small by comparison
2) it’s slightly less expensive than capital grille
3) it wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination
4) jason can shove his deli up his ass

I've lived across the street from a Jason's Deli for 3.5 years and I've never been. LET THAT SINK IN.

As already mentioned I eat it a fair amount and can't disagree with any of this. I should also mention I haven't been there post COVID. I went to Jason's when I wanted a good salad. I preferred Jason's salad bar to Dillon's or Hy-Vee.

free ice cream though and if they try and hassle you you can threaten to have jason fire their ass.

Tried Mike's once or twice, but didn't enjoy. I have a free sub coupon burning a hole in my pocket rn. Will try "Mike's way" and report back.

I'm expecting angels to dance on my tongue.

Use to love it, until they closed the one near me and now I have no idea where they'd be here. I like their hot peppers.

Jason's salad bar is pretty solid and the reason I go there.

Their sandwiches are pretty good but what Potbelly does better than everyone else is everything else. First of all Zapps chips :excited: their salads, cookies, and shakes are all better there than any other chain restaurant. I haven't had any of their soups but I may try some chili tomorrow.

Jer Mike's got my vote because this is ultimately about sandwiches and they have better sandwiches than everyone else mentioned. Their Italian, Mike's Way, is the best sandwich I've ever had.

Walked into goodcents just now and our guy was rapping to a customer. Had to walk right out and head to Pizza Man after that for an Italian beef sandwich instead. Not today, Hitler!
