Jersey Mike's Sub Sizes and Prices: Mini, Regular, Giant

Here is how the three sizes compare on length, price and who they suit. The regular price range is the real range across the menu; mini and giant prices follow the typical ratios, because shops price those sizes individually.

Cold subs, the American Classics, Italians and clubs, are offered in all three sizes. Hot subs, the cheese steaks and chicken cheese steaks, and the Portabella Mushroom & Swiss generally start at regular and come in regular and giant only, because they are grilled to order in portions that do not scale down neatly to a mini.

Kids meals use a kid-size sub (Turkey & Cheese or Ham & Cheese) bundled with a side and a drink for about $6.49, which works out cheaper than buying a mini on its own plus extras.

This split matters when you plan a mixed order. If one person wants a light cold sub and another wants a cheese steak, the cold sub can be a mini while the cheese steak will be a regular at minimum. And if you are sharing, a giant of either type is available, so a giant Famous Philly cut in half is just as easy to order as a giant Original Italian.

Availability can vary slightly at non-traditional locations such as airports, stadiums and travel plazas, which sometimes carry a reduced menu or fewer sizes. If you are counting on a specific size at one of those shops, check the app before you go.

This is where the sizes stop being abstract. These are the published calorie counts for every numbered sub at each size it is offered, with the regular price alongside.

Because shops price minis and giants individually, the most useful way to think about Jersey Mike’s sub sizes and prices is in ratios rather than fixed numbers. Take three popular subs and apply the typical ratios to their regular prices:

Working Jersey Mike’s sub sizes and prices out per inch gives a surprising answer. Using the typical ratios, a mini costs about two-thirds of a regular for about five-sevenths of the length, which makes it very slightly cheaper per inch than a regular. A giant costs about twice a regular for twice the length, so per inch it is roughly level with the regular.

Per inch is not the whole story, though. The filling does not scale in a straight line: a mini carries proportionally less meat and cheese than its length suggests (which is why its calories are only 55 to 60 percent of a regular), while a giant is built generously. Measured by filling rather than bread, the giant is the best value and the mini the least. In practice: choose the mini for appetite, and the giant for value.

If you are used to Subway’s 6-inch and footlong, Jersey Mike’s sizes run slightly larger at each step. A Jersey Mike’s regular is about 7 inches against Subway’s 6, and a Jersey Mike’s giant is about 14 inches against a 12-inch footlong. That extra inch on the regular is part of why Jersey Mike’s regular prices sit about a dollar above Subway’s.

The mini has no direct equivalent at most sub chains. It sits between a kids-size sandwich and a 6-inch, which makes it useful for lighter appetites that would leave part of a standard sub. Our Jersey Mike’s vs Subway prices comparison goes item by item.

The mini is the honest choice if you routinely leave part of a regular. You pay about two-thirds of the price for about 55 to 60 percent of the calories, and nothing goes in the bin. A mini #7 Turkey & Provolone at about 470 calories is one of the few fast-casual options that works as a genuinely light lunch.

It stops making sense if you finish a regular comfortably. Most adults who switch to a mini then add chips ($2.29, 220 calories) to make up the difference, and the saving disappears while the calories barely move. Be honest about your appetite: the right size is the one you finish without wanting more.

The mini is also the natural choice for older children who have outgrown the kids meal, and for anyone building a lunch around a side or a soup they brought from home. It is also a smart way to try a sub you have never had, such as the Original Italian, before committing to a regular or a giant next time.

Shared between two people, clearly. The giant costs about twice a regular but is built with proportionally more filling, so two people splitting one get at least as much as they would from two regulars, often a little more, for about the same money or slightly less. For couples and coworkers, it is the default order worth adopting.

Eaten alone across two sittings, the price works but the food does not. The roll softens overnight and the vinegar, oil and tomato soak into the bread, so the second half is a noticeably worse sandwich. If you plan to do this, ask for Mike’s Way on the side and dress each half when you eat it.

Above three or four people, the arithmetic shifts again. Jersey Mike’s catering trays and boxes priced per head usually beat a stack of giants and arrive with sides included. Our catering cost per person guide works through the numbers.

If your reason for choosing a smaller size is calories rather than appetite, the format matters more than the size. Any sub can be ordered as a Sub in a Tub, all the fillings in a bowl without the roll, at the same price, and that removes about 290 calories from a regular. That is more than the difference between a mini and a regular on most subs.

So a regular in a tub often leaves you fuller than a mini on bread, with fewer calories. A wrap, by contrast, costs the same and adds about 20 calories, so it is a texture choice rather than a lighter one. Our Sub in a Tub guide covers how to order one well.

White and wheat cost the same at every size and are the basis for every calorie figure on this page. Rosemary Parm costs nothing extra and adds about 30 calories to a mini, 45 to a regular and 60 to a giant.

Udi’s gluten-free bread is the only bread that changes the price: about $1.50 extra on a regular and $3 on a giant. It also takes about 55 calories off a regular and 110 off a giant. If you are ordering gluten-free subs for a group, that surcharge applies to each sub and adds up quickly on a catering order.

For two people, one giant. For three, one giant plus a regular, or three regulars if everyone wants something different. For four, two giants cut in half is usually cheaper and tidier than four regulars. Past five or six, look at catering trays priced per head.

Keep the variety small. Shops build a few subs in quantity faster and more accurately than many different ones, and a group order is judged on whether everything arrives right. Order by number, “two giant #13s and one giant #7, cut in half,” and nothing gets lost in translation. Our meal planner helps total a group order before you place it.

For young children, the kids meal is the right size and the best price: a kid-size Turkey & Cheese or Ham & Cheese, a side and a drink for about $6.49, with the sub itself around 400 calories. Older children and teenagers usually do well with a mini or half a giant.

For a family of four, two giants cut in half often work better than four separate subs. Choose one cold giant and one hot giant, ask for both to be cut, and everyone can try two different subs. It costs about the same as four regulars and produces less waste, since half-giants are easier to share out than whole regulars.

If you just want an answer, match your appetite to the row below. It uses the calorie ranges from the table above and assumes a typical sub on white bread, Mike’s Way.

At the counter, say the size first, then the number, then how you want it: “a regular #13, Mike’s Way” or “a giant #7, cut in half, Mike’s Way on the side.” Staff hear this all day, and leading with the size avoids the most common mix-up, getting a regular when you meant a giant to share.

In the Jersey Mike’s app or on jerseymikes.com, the size selector appears on each sub’s page, and the price updates as you switch between mini, regular and giant. That is the easiest place to see your own shop’s exact Jersey Mike’s sub sizes and prices side by side before you commit.

Put the sizes side by side and a few decisions stand out as the ones that most often cost people money or leave them unsatisfied:

Every Jersey Mike’s franchise sets its own prices, so the same giant can differ by a dollar or two between shops. City-center, airport and campus locations price toward the top of the range; suburban shops in the South and Midwest often sit lower. Delivery apps list prices roughly 15 to 25 percent above the counter before fees.

Calories, on the other hand, are the same everywhere, because recipes and portion sizes are standard across the chain. That makes the calorie table above the most reliable part of any size comparison. To see your own shop’s exact mini and giant prices, pick it in the Jersey Mike’s app and start an order.
