My buddy Buzzy was really excited last week about Jersey Mike's, "Hey Ron, where are you man? Hey I went to that new sub place Jersey Mike's in Wailuku, man I got two huge giant Original Italian subs man, it's killer, I got you one, where are you?" Unfortunately I was on the road, and could not meet Mr. Buzzy, it would be late, hence did not want that sandwich to go to waste. He eventually gave it to a neighbor who loves to eat. I'm so busy and can't get to Wailuku for just a sandwich, so on this night I had to run to Walmart and get some meds from the pharmacy, I looked at my watch and had lots of time to get a sub, and then run to Walmart.
When I got to the shopping center in the Maui Lani, the place was busy already. I saw a friend who lives up the street from there, that was his third time. "This place rocks Ron." And then I saw some rookies like me just standing in line thinking, is it like ordering at Subway? Or Quiznos? The menu isn't huge, it's really easy to choose, likened to an In N Out Burger concept. The color scheme was simple, lots of brightness, white the primary.
This one dude was like, "Hey bro go ahead, I got to order a lot of sandwiches for my family, so go ahead." Shoot, I tell him thanks and head to the counter. All I remember Buzzy telling me was that he ordered the Giant Italian something or other. The clerk told me, "#13, the Original Italian, that's one of the best." OK I tell him, do it. The works, the way a Jersey Mike's Sub is supposed to be. So the guy's on the slicer, slicing I dunno, meat, cheese, and the next thing I see, is that sub is filled with meat. Then cheese, then the guy hands it to another dude, then the veggies, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and the oil and vinegar stuff. I could smell it. No mayonnaise, didn't need any, all that oil kept it moist, it soaked through the bread. Once I got it, and asked for a bag of chips and a small drink, it came out to a whopping $22.00 + with tax. No prob, it was hefty, well worth it for sure. Another rookie ahead of me was filling up his cup with soda, he looked at me all smiles, and gave me that ever-so popular dude thing we do, the FIST BUMP. That's just a way of saying, "Dude, enjoy man, I got your back!"

Now for the Yay :) or Nay :( scale
Quality: Yay :)
Service: Yay :)
Cleanliness: Yay :)
Value: Yay :)
Parking: Yay :)
Location: Yay :)
NOTE: Value is the price on quality. It may be more than a Subway meal, however, they slice the meat and cheese right there in front of you. So is it valuable? Of course. Is it worth it? 6 out of 6 Yays, you'll be happy :)!!!!
If you can't afford a sandwich at this price, then I'm telling you, save up them loose change, because you got to treat yourself to a quality sandwich, I'm serious. OK, if you're going to Subway, don't, save that money. Then when you got enough, head to Maui Lani and walk into Jersey Mike's Subs, and have a grine session like you've never had.
