The company touts itself for its sandwiches featuring lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar and spices.

“Everything about Jersey Mike’s is high quality. Our meats and cheeses are all top-quality, premium brands,” the company said. “Our bread is fresh-baked each day on the premises. And of course, everything’s prepared right in front of you. It’s what makes Jersey Mike’s the most authentic tasting submarine sandwich available, and it’s a tradition of quality we’ll never outgrow.”
