I wish firehouse didn’t make the bread so soggy

Jersey Mike's was recently purchased by Blackstone, a private equity firm

Prices will go up and quality will go down. Sad.

Jimmy John's is step above Subway, but not great. Jersey Mike's is best national chain

Years ago I was working late all the time and I would hit up JJ across the street. Always got the JJBLT

I prefer Jimmy Johns because of their bread, but JM's is good too

I'm a sucker for processed, ultra-white-and-soft bread

Their bread is so bad. Feels stale. I'll admit that helps the bread to not get

The Original Italian on rosemary parm could create world peace if we’d let it

I used to love the Firehouse Italian sandwich but it’s not so great anymore

Subway is the worst. I don't mind Jimmy Johns once in a while

I hate how Subway has gotten worse over the years, but in my opinion it has done

Where do you get your Jersey Mike's coupons?

Highschool football Fundraiser cards. Buy one get one free subs.

BYUtka

As BYUtka said, student fundraising cards, but I've also gotten some in the mail

I need to keep a better eye on my mail—I usually just see Subway, Arby's, etc.

I recently moved and a new location recently opened up in my area, so it could

Subway used to be amazing. Better or on par with JM. Then they decided to go "healthy" and its just gone downhill.

AltTabbins

If you live near a Publix, best to get sandwich from them over the chains.

Faceman

Mar 31, 1:18pm

Pub subs are way better than anything.

AltTabbins

Mar 31, 1:22pm

I also appreciate that they’ll make sandwiches for you that aren’t on the menu.

Whatever happened to Gondolfos?

Was sold a decade+ back and is still around in Utah County

There are still a few of these around

The gondolfo's craigster was the best sandwich I ever had

Potbelly's is the best of the sandwich chains IMO.

The one in Orem didn't seem to last very long. Never got to try it.

BYUtka

Makes sense since Oremites have no taste.

Too busy doing crime to worry about food

Probably too much gang violence and drug dealing in the parking lot.

The Wreck or the off-menu Lucky 7 are delicious.

Excellent sandwich too. They get a bit messy, but their hot peppers are top tier

Firehouse? I've only been to the one closest to me and it's worse than subway.

goldengoose

Capriotti's is excellent, but as always, location dependent. Same as Firehouse

JDBlue

Mar 31, 1:44pm

Any good locations you can call out? There's one close to where I live now

I like JM’s and JJ’s. Subway is awful and Firehouse is way too expensive for the
