Secret Menu at Jersey Mike’s

The Jersey Mike’s secret menu lives in the sacred sandwich shadow realm between “official menu,” “viral TikTok order,” “employee favorite,” and “thing you built because apparently a normal Italian sub was not enough emotional stimulation.”

This is a chain already built for custom-order chaos. Cold subs are sliced fresh and prepared Mike’s Way with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil, and spices, and Jersey Mike’s openly says “any combination gladly accepted,” which is corporate language for “please don’t make this weird, but we know you will.”

So congratulations. You found the Jersey Mike’s secret menu. Please order clearly, tip well, and do not walk in saying “give me the forbidden deli torpedo.” That is not a sandwich order. That is how a man gets remembered.

How to Order From the Jersey Mike’s Secret Menu

The trick is to order the build, not just the nickname. Some employees may know the #99, Vinny’s Way, the Pregnancy Sub, or the viral nachos. Some may not. They are sandwich makers, not monks guarding a parchment scroll of pepper relish lore.

Say: “Can I get a #56 Big Kahuna with chipotle mayo?”
Do not say: “I need Jackie’s internet steak pile.”

Also, product availability varies by location, and Jersey Mike’s says its handcrafted items can vary based on substitutions, preparation, location, and other factors.

1. The #99

The #99 is the Jersey Mike’s secret menu celebrity. It is the sandwich that looked at the #56 Big Kahuna and said, “Good start, but where is the chipotle mayo, coward?”

How to order it: Ask for a #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak with chipotle mayo. Rosemary Parmesan bread is a very good move if your location has it.

The #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak comes with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, and extra white American cheese, while the #43 Chipotle Cheese Steak brings chipotle mayo into the cheesesteak universe. The viral #99 is commonly described as combining that Big Kahuna setup with chipotle mayo.

This is not a sandwich. This is a cheesesteak wearing a leather jacket it bought with your lunch money.

2. Jersey Mike’s Nachos

Jersey Mike’s Nachos are what happens when someone looks at a cheesesteak and thinks, “This needs chips, because bread has become too dignified.”

How to order it: Ask for a hot cheesesteak, often the #43, #56, or #99, served in a tub. Buy a bag of Doritos, Sun Chips, or your chip of choice. Pour the hot steak, cheese, peppers, onions, and sauce over the chips.

Allrecipes reported that the viral order starts with a hot cheesesteak like the #17, #43, #56, or #99, served in a tub, then layered over chips with add-ons like jalapeños, banana peppers, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, and chipotle mayo.

Is this “nachos” in the legal, cultural, or spiritual sense? Barely. Is it delicious? Unfortunately, yes. Civilization has fallen, but at least it has chipotle mayo.

3. Vinny’s Way Tuna

Vinny’s Way is the order that made people look at a tuna sub and say, “Wait, why is the fish sandwich suddenly interesting?” A bold question. A wet question. A question with mayonnaise consequences.

How to order it: Get the #10 Tuna Fish on Rosemary Parmesan bread, Mike’s Way minus tomatoes, then add pickles, banana peppers, hot chopped pepper relish, jalapeños, and honey mustard.

Allrecipes described the viral Vinny’s Way order as the #10 Tuna Fish made Mike’s Way without tomatoes, plus dill pickles, banana peppers, hot chopped pepper relish, honey mustard, and jalapeños on Rosemary Parmesan bread. Jersey Mike’s tuna salad itself is simple: tuna, mayo, celery, and black pepper.

This sandwich is creamy, briny, crunchy, spicy, sweet, acidic, and structurally unstable. In other words, it is exactly what tuna needed: a personality and a support beam.

4. The Pregnancy Sub

The Pregnancy Sub is a viral Jersey Mike’s order built around a BLT, which makes sense because cold deli meats can be a concern during pregnancy, and apparently the internet decided the solution was bacon, pickles, vinegar, peppers, and enough acid to make heartburn write a memoir.

How to order it: Ask for a #1 BLT on Rosemary Parmesan bread, Mike’s Way, with mayo, pickles, banana peppers, and hot chopped pepper relish. Add cheese if you want the sandwich to start taking itself seriously.

Allrecipes and EatingWell describe the viral Pregnancy Sub as a BLT-style build on Rosemary Parmesan bread, made Mike’s Way and upgraded with mayo, pickles, banana peppers, and chopped pepper relish.

You do not have to be pregnant to order it. You only need to enjoy salty, crunchy, spicy sandwich chaos and have no fear of vinegar-based consequences.

5. The Work of Art Sub in a Tub

The Work of Art is what happens when a Club Sub gets turned into a bowl and then attacked with chips, pepperoni, pickles, and honey mustard. Naturally, TikTok loved it, because TikTok sees a sandwich and immediately asks, “Can this become a personality disorder?”

How to order it: Ask for a #8 Club Sub in a tub, Mike’s Way, with pickles, pepperoni, and honey mustard. Use spicy dill pickle chips or jalapeño chips as scoops.

Allrecipes covered the viral “Work of Art” order as a #8 Club Sub served Sub-in-a-Tub style with pickles, pepperoni, honey mustard, and Mike’s Way toppings, eaten with chips for crunch.

It is technically a salad, in the same way a mattress on the floor is technically interior design.

6. The Surf ’n Turf

The Surf ’n Turf is a secret menu item for people who think roast beef and tuna should meet in a sandwich and “see where things go.” Bold. Wet. Concerning.

How to order it: Start with the #9 Club Supreme, swap turkey for tuna, swap Swiss for provolone, and skip the bacon. Add veggies and Mike’s Way toppings as desired.

Allrecipes describes the Surf ’n Turf as a #9 Club Supreme modification that leaves you with roast beef, tuna, provolone, and vegetables.

This sounds illegal until you remember tuna melts exist, roast beef sandwiches exist, and humanity has survived worse experiments than this. Like clear ketchup. Or truffle oil on everything.

7. The Lumberjack Salad

The Lumberjack Salad is a Jersey Mike’s “salad” in the way a pickup truck full of deli meat is a salad if you park it near lettuce.

How to order it: Ask for a Club Supreme Sub in a Tub, swap turkey for prosciutto if available, and add spicy mustard.

Allrecipes describes the Lumberjack Salad as a Club Supreme-style Sub in a Tub with prosciutto and spicy mustard added, plus the usual lettuce, tomato, and onion.

This is not light. This is not delicate. This is a sub that lost its bread and decided to call itself wellness.

8. The R&R Reuben

The R&R is Jersey Mike’s Reuben-ish secret menu order, for customers who saw pastrami, corned beef, Swiss, coleslaw, and dressing and said, “Yes, please put the deli in a blender emotionally.”

How to order it: Ask if your location has pastrami, corned beef, Swiss, coleslaw, and Russian dressing. If yes, order them together as a Reuben-style sub.

Allrecipes notes that the R&R depends on location because not every Jersey Mike’s has pastrami and corned beef, but the build is pastrami, corned beef, Swiss, coleslaw, and Russian dressing.

This is a strong secret menu order because it has deli gravity. It pulls napkins, pickles, and regret into orbit.

9. Buffalo Chicken Ranch Nachos

This is the chicken cousin of Jersey Mike’s Nachos, and yes, it is as unhinged as it sounds.

How to order it: Ask for a #26 Bacon Ranch Chicken Cheese Steak or #44 Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak in a tub, then use chips as the base. Add jalapeños, banana peppers, extra ranch, or chipotle mayo if your personality requires it.

Jersey Mike’s hot sub menu lists the #26 Bacon Ranch Chicken Cheese Steak with bacon, lettuce, tomato, white American cheese, and ranch, and the #44 Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak with Frank’s RedHot, lettuce, tomato, white American cheese, and blue cheese dressing. Allrecipes also reported a nacho variation using the #26 with chicken cooked in buffalo sauce.

This is not nachos. This is a chicken cheesesteak crash-landed onto chips and called for ranch backup. Fine. Good. No notes.

10. Buffalo Chicken Wrap Hack

Jersey Mike’s hot chicken subs are begging to be turned into wraps, which is convenient because some people want the flavor of a hot sub without committing to a bread torpedo the size of a rolled-up beach towel.

How to order it: Ask for the #44 Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak as a wrap, or ask for a chicken cheesesteak with buffalo sauce, white American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and blue cheese or ranch.

The #44 Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak officially includes Frank’s RedHot, lettuce, tomato, white American cheese, and blue cheese dressing.

This is the order for people who want wings but also want a tortilla to pretend structure still exists.

11. Chicken Big Kahuna With Chipotle Mayo

This is basically the chicken version of the #99, because beef should not have all the secret-menu fun. That would be unfair, and also chicken has lawyers now probably.

How to order it: Ask for a #55 Big Kahuna Chicken Cheese Steak with chipotle mayo added.

The #55 Big Kahuna Chicken Cheese Steak comes with grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, and extra white American cheese; the #42 Chipotle Chicken Cheese Steak uses grilled onions, peppers, white American cheese, and chipotle mayo.

Together, this is smoky, spicy, cheesy chicken chaos. It is what happens when two hot subs merge like a deli Transformer.

12. The Original Italian, Extra Dirty

The Original Italian is already a classic Jersey Mike’s order, but the secret menu move is to make it wetter, sharper, and louder, because apparently cured meats were not already trying hard enough.

How to order it: Ask for the #13 Original Italian, Mike’s Way, with extra vinegar, extra oregano, hot chopped pepper relish, banana peppers, and pickles.

Jersey Mike’s cold sub menu lists the #13 Original Italian with provolone, ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, and pepperoni. Mike’s Way adds onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil, and spices, and Allrecipes notes that the seasoning is simply oregano and salt.

This is a beautiful sandwich if you enjoy salt, acid, pork, and the possibility that your lunch may leak through the wrapper like a deli-based natural disaster.

13. The Chicken Salad Sleeper

The Chicken Salad Sub is not exactly hidden, but it has the energy of a secret menu item because it comes, disappears, returns, sells out, and makes fans behave like it is a concert ticket.

How to order it: If available, ask for the Chicken Salad as a sub, wrap, or bowl, and get it Mike’s Way if you want the oil-vinegar-oregano treatment.

Jersey Mike’s brought back its Chicken Salad Sub for summer 2026 as a limited-time item after its 2025 debut sold out quickly; reports describe it as roasted chicken, mayo, celery, and black pepper, available as a sub, wrap, or bowl at participating locations.

It is simple, creamy, and weirdly powerful. Chicken salad does not need 14 ingredients. It needs bread, crunch, and the confidence to be mostly mayonnaise in public.

14. Sub in a Tub, But Actually Good

A Sub in a Tub is Jersey Mike’s secret menu cheat code for people who want the sandwich fillings without the bread, or for people planning to dump the contents onto chips like sandwich anarchists.

How to order it: Ask for any cold sub or hot sub in a tub. For cold subs, Mike’s Way works beautifully. For hot subs, add grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, sauces, or extra cheese depending on how much your bowl needs to scare someone.

Jersey Mike’s U.S. menu search result says cold subs are available as wraps and bowls, and Allrecipes’ viral nachos guide specifically recommends ordering hot cheesesteaks in a tub for nacho-style builds.

This is not a salad unless you say it with confidence and avoid eye contact.

15. The Rosemary Parmesan Bread Upgrade

This is not a full secret menu item. It is the secret menu multiplier. Jersey Mike’s Rosemary Parmesan bread makes almost every cold sub feel 18% more intentional, which is impressive for bread wearing cheese dust.

How to order it: Ask for your sub on Rosemary Parmesan bread when available.

Several viral orders, including Vinny’s Way and the Pregnancy Sub, lean on Rosemary Parmesan bread because it adds savory, herby, cheesy support to all the vinegar, peppers, mayo, and deli meat nonsense happening above it.

White bread is fine. Wheat is respectable. Rosemary Parmesan is the bread that looked at your order and said, “I can fix him.”

Best Jersey Mike’s Secret Menu Orders by Mood

For maximum legend status, order the #99. It is the classic secret menu move: Big Kahuna plus chipotle mayo. Simple, saucy, and powerful enough to make a cheesesteak start lifting weights.

For viral chaos, order Jersey Mike’s Nachos or Buffalo Chicken Ranch Nachos. These are not sandwiches. They are chip-based edible arguments.

For cold sub people, get Vinny’s Way Tuna, the Pregnancy Sub, or the Original Italian Extra Dirty. These are all about acid, crunch, spice, and the very Jersey belief that vinegar improves almost every problem.

For bowl people, get the Work of Art Sub in a Tub or the Lumberjack Salad. Are these salads? Sure. And a couch is a bed if your standards are flexible.

For deli traditionalists, ask about the R&R Reuben. If your location can make it, order it. If not, do not have a public meltdown. This is a sandwich shop, not a federal appeals court.

How to Order Without Becoming a Jersey Mike’s Menace

Start with the numbered sub. Then list the changes. Jersey Mike’s uses numbers for a reason, and Allrecipes reported that the chain’s numbering system helps regulars order favorites quickly, even if the sequence looks like it was assembled by a deli accountant with jazz hands.

Good: “Can I get a #56 with chipotle mayo?”
Bad: “Can I get the forbidden smoked pepper steak kahuna from the internet?”

Use the app for simple customizations, but for messy secret builds, ordering in person may be easier. Also expect extra charges for added meat, cheese, bacon, sauces, chips, or substitutions. This is not a loophole where pepperoni becomes free because you said “viral.”

Allergy and Nutrition Notes, Because Secret Menus Are Not Magic

Custom orders change allergens and nutrition fast. Jersey Mike’s states that its products are handcrafted and may be customized, and that cross-contact with allergens is possible because items may be prepared on the same equipment or in the same kitchen area as allergen-containing foods.

So yes, ask staff if you have allergy concerns. “Secret menu” should mean “fun sandwich trick,” not “urgent medical side quest.”

The Real Secret at Jersey Mike’s

The real Jersey Mike’s secret menu is not one hidden sandwich. It is the customization system.

Mike’s Way is the base spell. Rosemary Parmesan bread is the power-up. Hot chopped pepper relish is the chaos button. Chipotle mayo is the smoky little menace. Sub in a Tub turns sandwiches into bowls. Chips turn bowls into fake nachos. The #99 turns the Big Kahuna into a legend. Vinny’s Way turns tuna into a spectacle. The Pregnancy Sub turns a BLT into a vinegar-based movement.

Jersey Mike’s gives you the parts.

The secret menu gives you permission to stop ordering like a beige intern and start building like a person who knows exactly how much pepper relish society can handle.

Order clearly. Ask nicely. Grab napkins.

And remember: the best Jersey Mike’s secret menu items are not hidden because they are impossible.

They are hidden because most people lack the courage to put a cheesesteak in a tub, dump it on Doritos, and call it lunch.
