Jersey Mike’s of Cary (Preston Corners)

The Preston Corners Jersey Mike’s sits on High House Road in Cary. Subs are built on bread baked in the shop, with meats and cheeses sliced to order at the counter. Quality is the pitch the chain leads with, and it starts at the slicer.

The house preparation, called Mike’s Way, means lettuce, onions, tomatoes, oil, vinegar, and spices go on before it is wrapped. Pickup is handled in store, and orders can be placed from a phone ahead of arriving. It is a dependable stop when lunch has to be quick.
