Jersey Mike’s Secret Menu Guide 2026
Jersey Mike’s secret menu is a collection of off-menu subs and ordering hacks regulars swear by, headlined by the #99, a mashup of the Big Kahuna Cheese Steak with chipotle mayo from the Chipotle Cheese Steak. Ask for each item by number or describe the build in store, since most secret items can’t be ordered online by name.
Jersey Mike’s never printed a secret menu, and honestly, that’s half the fun. Regulars have invented their own numbered creations from standard ingredients, and most store crews know the famous ones. If you want the full priced lineup first, check our Jersey Mike’s menu breakdown, then come back and order like a veteran.
The Best Jersey Mike’s Secret Menu Items
The most talked-about Jersey Mike’s secret menu items are the #99, the Surf ‘n Turf, the 8.5, the Martian, the Turkey Bacon Ranch, and the viral How Kev Eats #9 build. Here is what each one is and exactly how to say it at the counter.
The #99
The king of the Jersey Mike’s secret menu. Big Kahuna Cheese Steak, grilled steak, onions, peppers, mushrooms, jalapeños, white American cheese, with chipotle mayo from the Chipotle Cheese Steak instead of regular mayo.
How to order: “Can I get the Big Kahuna Cheese Steak with chipotle mayo?” Online, order the Big Kahuna and add chipotle mayo in the customizations.
The Surf ‘n Turf
The #9 Club Supreme reworked: bacon and turkey out, tuna in, provolone instead of Swiss. Savory roast beef with creamy tuna sounds odd until you try it.
How to order: “Can I get the #9 Club Supreme with tuna instead of turkey, no bacon, provolone instead of Swiss, Mike’s Way?”
The 8.5
A blend of the #8 Club Sub and the #9 Club Supreme. Classic build: the #8 (bacon, turkey, ham, provolone) with roast beef added. Four meats, one sandwich.
How to order: “Can I get the #8 Club Sub with roast beef added, Mike’s Way?” Staff who don’t know the name will do it by description.
The Martian (Salami Pepperoni)
The #5 Super Sub rebuilt: salami instead of ham, pepperoni instead of prosciutto, provolone on top. It looks nothing like the sub it started as, hence the nickname.
How to order: “Can I get the #5 with salami instead of ham, pepperoni instead of prosciutto, and provolone cheese?”
The How Kev Eats Order
Blew up on TikTok thanks to creator @How.Kev.Eats. The #9 Club Supreme Mike’s Way with jalapeños and cherry pepper relish, plus sides of chipotle mayo and buffalo sauce.
How to order: Order the #9 Mike’s Way, add jalapeños and cherry pepper relish, with chipotle mayo and buffalo sauce on the side. Stripe both sauces on the paper and slide the sandwich through, like Kev.
Turkey Bacon Ranch
The supercharged turkey sandwich. Turkey, applewood-smoked bacon, ranch dressing, and your usual veggies, Mike’s Way. Three ingredients that were clearly meant to be together.
How to order: “Can I get turkey and provolone with bacon and ranch added, Mike’s Way?”
The Cancro Special
The secret-menu graduate. The Cancro Special started as an off-menu request, roast beef and provolone with pepperoni, and got so popular the company made it the official #12, named after founder Peter Cancro.
How Do You Order From the Jersey Mike’s Secret Menu?
Walk in and order by number or by description. Say “Can I get a #99?” and plenty of stores will know what you mean. If the name gets a blank stare, just describe the build: “Can you make me a Big Kahuna Cheese Steak with chipotle mayo?” The line crew can assemble anything from standard ingredients.
Two tricks make life easier. First, learn “Mike’s Way.” Saying it gets you the classic topping combo, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, olive oil blend, red wine vinegar, oregano, and salt, without listing everything. Second, be specific and be nice. “Can you grill the bread on the flat top?” is a real request customers make. These are hacks, not official items, so results may vary by location.
One more thing: the kitchen keeps sauces it doesn’t advertise as add-ons, like chipotle mayo, buffalo sauce, ranch, and Frank’s RedHot. Just ask, or ask for your meat to be cooked in one before it hits the bread.
Can You Order Jersey Mike’s Secret Menu Items Online?
Not by name. The Jersey Mike’s app and website only list official menu items and numbers, so there is no #99 button to tap. To rebuild a secret item online, order the base sub and do the swaps yourself in the customization screen, then drop the rest into the special instructions box.
For example, order the Big Kahuna Cheese Steak online, add chipotle mayo, and write “chipotle mayo instead of regular mayo, please” in the instructions. It’s a little more typing, but you skip the line. And the app’s points rack up toward free subs, which softens the blow of extra-meat upcharges.
How Much Do Jersey Mike’s Secret Menu Items Cost?
Secret menu builds cost about the same as their base sub, because they are mostly ingredient swaps rather than extra add-ons. A regular usually lands in the $9 to $13 range depending on the sub and your location, with giants running higher.
The upcharges come when you start stacking extras. Adding bacon or double meat typically costs a couple of dollars, so the Turkey Bacon Ranch and the 8.5 run a touch more than their base builds. The #99, the Surf ‘n Turf, and the Martian are straight swaps, so you pay roughly the regular price. Watch for the chain’s app deals and our Jersey Mike’s Deals & Coupons roundup, since secret builds aren’t covered by promos.
