👉 Does Jersey Mike’s have salads?
The answer is yes—but with a twist.
Jersey Mike’s does not have a traditional “tossed salad” menu; instead, we offer any sub on our menu as a “Sub in a Tub,” which effectively turns your favorite sandwich into a fresh, high-protein chopped salad.
The direct answer for anyone looking for a Jersey Mike’s salad is to order your favorite cold or hot sub in a plastic container (the “Tub”), replacing the bread with an extra bed of shredded iceberg lettuce.
This creates a 100% customizable, gluten-free, and keto-friendly meal that features all the premium meats, cheeses, and “Mike’s Way” toppings (onions, lettuce, tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and spices) you love, without the carbs.
