The Jr Bacon vs the Philly Cheese. This 4 v 5 matchup is one of the best yet.

So which do you think, overall, is a better place to eat?

Take into consideration:

Value
Taste
Atmohsphere
Service

and anything else that would make a place a more desirable eating destination.

I live at Wendy's. I eat lunch there for less than $3 at least 1ce a week. We take the fam there for like $15.
I've never been to Mikes but read their prices.

Jersey Mikes is a far superior tasting experience but it doesn't come cheap. This is a tough call for me but I'm going with the subs joint in this round.

Love Jersey Mike's but Wendy's is cheaper for more food.

Hardest matchup for me. Jersey Mike has a good cheesesteak but Wendy's is my all time favorite fast food joint. Point, Wendy's.

Wendy's is only cheaper if you get the cheap crap. All the good stuff is way overpriced. And they seem to be stuck in the 70's with their food service.

I can get a Baconater combo cheaper than a cheese steak combo at Jersey Mike's.

The Baconater alone makes Wendy's the top fast food place ever.

Jersey Mike's is Subway with an extra $2 fee attached whereas Wendy's will sell me a burger with extra meat hanging out the side.

I'm about as cheap of a consumer as there is but Rooster, you need to pry open the purse straps occasionally.


One of my biggest pet peeves about a non-sitdown restaurant is when they don't allow you to get your own drink from the fountain. In this day and age it is outrageous that Wendys doesn't let you do this. I don't like ice and I want the soda to the top of the cup, but I don't want to feel like a dbag ordering it this way. Just let me get my own freaking drink! I'm a big boy. If you're busy, I don't want to wait around for 15 minutes on the off chance that you noticed I'm sitting there waiting for a refill. It may sound petty, and it is, but I will not go to Wendy's because of this. It's too bad because I like their spicy chicken.

Jersey Mike's is pretty good but I don't go often because of the price. So count this as an anti-wendys vote.

The Wendy's on Wards Road? GARBAGE

Jersey Mikes? sure its high end. But when was the last time you had buyers remorse while stuffing it down your throat Mikes Way?

Sure, the Baconater is great, as are many of Wendy's meaty burgers, but not compared to a chipotle cheesesteak that's twice as big and as LUconn says a drink you can serve yourself. The price is not that different, which is sad.

Also, anybody who compares Mike's to Subway, I don't believe has ever been there. That's like comparing a sandwich you got at a local deli vs one you made at home. Sure they're both sandwiches but that's where the similarity ends.

Wendy's makes some decent chilli, but have to go with Jersey Mike's on this one.
