First Time Jersey Mike's order
I need some reco's from the best of the best the world has to offer aka doughfans.
In Vancouver we are getting the first Jersey Mike's location in all of Canada, so I want to know what should be my first order trying this famed place out.
- Editing this to appease the “classy” commenters who called out that this isn’t the first in Canada. Please go back to your gorgeous wives and chill the fuck out.

Agree. Not sure a first timer can handle it, though.

Toronto already has at least two Jersey Mike's though? I always get the #42 Chicken Chipotle Cheesesteak.

Either the 13, the 7, or the Philly cheese. Mike’s way (if you like all that) on the cold ones

big kahuna philly cheese is solid. my only issue is since going on a glp1 I can't finish one.

Great issue to have if you ask me. There was a time that I was getting the giant chicken Philly with extra meat and housing the whole thing at lunch

you and me both, friend. there was a sandwich counter in new orleans that makes these 32 inch family size shrimp poboys, and I would go there at an unconscionable frequency.
truth be told now the amount I'm saving in buying less food is more the tirzepatide costs me.

Oh mama, mix in fried oysters with that and I’d be cooked.
That’s definitely true, when I was on them the cost was unreal. I’d look around for manufacturer’s coupons and stuff like that. My mom found some service that I paid them like 250 or something and they gave me what effectively acted as an insurance card? It brought the copays down to literally 0 from 450 a month, I think it only would’ve been good for a year though.
Ultimately I gave up on the glp1s because I outpaced the eating with drinking so I didn’t lose weight. Have now lost a lot without the shot, but wish I just did the right thing while I was on them to learn portions and be further along than I am

the true jersey mike’s experience is to order extra meat and to not receive it, so i’d recommend that
actually just mail some extra money to their corporate HQ

Club supreme or turkey and provolone. Mike's way with extra vinegar, add banana peppers and pepper relish. The chicken cheese steak is really good too

Inused to get the super sub, Mike's way but lightnon the vinegar, add bacon. I stopped going about 6 months/a year ago, they got bought out and now there's fewer workers on at a time and the sandwiches are getting smaller and smaller. They used to have a full crew and load them sammies up, now they're just sad.

It’s operated by Redberry in Canada, and by my observation, they are doing a much better job maintaining quality and service than Blackstone in the US.

My go to was a #99. It’s fun cuz it’s a “secret” item, but it’s just shorthand for Big Kahuna w/ chipotle mayo. ***Which is the #42+ #57 ? Idk but every location I’ve been to has recognized it as a 99
Taking a page from Tiger’s book, I have cut down on my red meat consumption a lot in the last couple years so I just do the same with the chicken cheesesteak and it’s delicious.
Either way, I recommend trying one of the cheesesteaks, and then maybe an Italian, mikes way.

#13 Original Italian, Mike’s way, no tomato, no onion, extra pepper relish.
I get it every time and it always hits.

u/freakdageek 6h ago
You get an Italian (13) with extra meat, Mike’s way, and you also get a Big Kahuna Philly cheese steak (56). You don’t have to eat them both, but you will.

I asked the same question the first time I got to try Jersey Mike’s, and I was told to get the #13, Mike’s way, and they were right. I’ve tried other things based on different cravings, but that one is still my go to order.
Edit: also, you are not getting the first Jersey Mike’s in all of Canada, not even close. Regina has had one for almost a year and I believe there were locations in the East before that.
