The Jersey Mike's secret menu is a set of off-menu orders that customers and staff built from the regular ingredients, such as the #99 cheese steak and the #8.5 club. None of them appear on the official menu, but any store can make them if you describe the base sub and the changes.
Start with the number of the regular sub the build is based on, then name each change, because the nickname alone often draws a blank look. Pick a secret order below to get the words to say at the counter, the way to set it up in the app, and its price and calories for the size you want.
A #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak on rosemary parmesan bread, with chipotle mayo added.
Order the #56, pick rosemary parmesan bread and add chipotle mayo in the sauce options or special instructions.
Adds: Chipotle Mayo.
These are the secret orders with a clear, repeated recipe in the food press and on Reddit. Each card shows the base sub, what changes, and the price and calories for every size the base sub comes in. Builds with only one source, or none, are left out, so you will not find invented numbers here.
The best known secret number. It joins the #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak with the chipotle mayo from the #43 Chipotle Cheese Steak, and 56 plus 43 makes 99.
Base: #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak. Add: Chipotle Mayo.
Halfway between the #8 Club Sub and the #9 Club Supreme: turkey, ham, bacon, provolone and mayo with roast beef on top.
Base: #8 Club Sub. Add: Roast Beef.
A spicier #5 Super Sub said to come from a Jersey Mike's employee: capicola and provolone stay, salami and pepperoni replace the ham and prosciuttini.
Base: #5 The Super Sub. Remove: Ham, Prosciuttini. Add: Hard Salami, Pepperoni.
A messy chicken cheese steak that piles buffalo sauce, mayo, pepper relish, jalapeños and two kinds of onion on the #26, with provolone in place of white American.
Base: #26 Bacon Ranch Chicken Cheese Steak. Remove: White American Cheese. Add: Provolone, Buffalo Sauce, Mayo, Hot Chopped Pepper Relish, Jalapeño Peppers, Grilled Onions, Onions.
A #9 Club Supreme loaded with mayo, buffalo sauce, chipotle mayo, pepper relish and jalapeños. It is the highest calorie build on this page, so light sauce helps.
Base: #9 Club Supreme. Add: Mayo, Buffalo Sauce, Chipotle Mayo, Hot Chopped Pepper Relish, Jalapeño Peppers.
A #13 with turkey in place of the ham, built on rosemary parmesan bread and topped with chipotle mayo, pepper relish, banana peppers and pickles.
Base: #13 The Original Italian. Remove: Ham. Add: Turkey, Chipotle Mayo, Hot Chopped Pepper Relish, Banana Peppers, Dill Pickles.
The #13 Original Italian without the lettuce, tomato and onion of Mike's Way, so only the meats, provolone, oil, vinegar and spices are left.
Base: #13 The Original Italian. Remove: Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions.
The #26 Bacon Ranch Chicken Cheese Steak with Philly steak in place of the chicken, so it keeps the bacon, ranch, lettuce, tomato and white American.
Base: #26 Bacon Ranch Chicken Cheese Steak. Remove: Philly Chicken. Add: Philly Beef.
Once an official limited item: Jersey Mike's sold it in 2011 for about two months. It is a Chicken Philly with pepperoni grilled in, and staff suggest chipotle mayo, marinara or ranch on top.
Base: #16 Mike's Chicken Philly.
A #17 Mike's Famous Philly served over Doritos with jalapeños and chipotle mayo. Stores got a register button for it, but it is not on the printed menu and may come and go.
Base: #17 Mike's Famous Philly. Add: Jalapeño Peppers, Chipotle Mayo.
The #99 is a #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak with chipotle mayo, the sauce that defines the #43 Chipotle Cheese Steak, and the name comes from 56 plus 43. It keeps the Kahuna's mushrooms, jalapeños, peppers, onions and extra cheese, so it is hotter and richer than either sub on its own.
| Sub | Regular | Calories | Giant | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #43 Chipotle Cheese Steak | $10.95 | 1,040 | $18.95 | 2,080 |
| #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak | $10.95 | 800 | $19.95 | 1,610 |
| #99 (secret) | $10.95 | 1,123 | $19.95 | 2,249 |
Chipotle mayo and the rosemary parmesan roll that fans pick add 323 calories to a Regular #56, about 40 percent more. The price stays at $10.95, because added sauce and that bread have no charge. A Giant #99 is $19.95 with 2,249 calories, enough for two people.
The #8.5 is a #8 Club Sub with roast beef added, which puts it halfway to the #9 Club Supreme. It carries turkey, ham, roast beef, bacon, provolone and mayo, dressed Mike's Way. Roast beef counts as extra meat, so it costs $2.35 more than a Club Sub on a Regular.
| Sub | Meats | Regular | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #8 Club Sub | Turkey, ham, bacon | $10.85 | 1,160 | 50 g |
| #9 Club Supreme | Roast beef, turkey, bacon | $11.80 | 1,190 | 59 g |
| #8.5 (secret) | Turkey, ham, roast beef, bacon | $13.20 | 1,370 | 86 g |
Only when they add meat, cheese, bacon, pepperoni or avocado. Sauces such as chipotle mayo, buffalo, ranch and mayo, and toppings such as relish, jalapeños, banana peppers and pickles, carry no charge. That is why the #99 costs the same as a #56, while the #8.5 pays the extra meat price.
| Extra | Cold Mini | Cold Regular | Cold Giant | Hot Regular | Hot Giant |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meat | $1.75 | $2.35 | $3.25 | $3.00 | $6.00 |
| Cheese | $1.15 | $1.55 | $2.15 | $1.55 | $2.15 |
| Bacon | $1.50 | $2.15 | $3.25 | $2.15 | $3.25 |
| Pepperoni | $1.75 | $2.35 | $3.25 | – | – |
Hot subs list no pepperoni extra; ask the store for it on the grill.
Per calorie, the steak and chicken builds lead, because they skip the oil blend that cold subs carry. Chicka-Phila-Roni gives 6.6 g of protein per 100 calories on a Regular. What Kev Eats is the heaviest build at 1,762 calories, so it is one to split or order as a bowl.
| Secret order (Regular) | Calories | Protein | Protein per 100 cal | Sodium |

| Chicka-Phila-Roni | 900 | 59 g | 6.6 g | 2,952 mg |
| #8.5 | 1,370 | 86 g | 6.3 g | 2,869 mg |

| Turkey #13 | 1,328 | 61 g | 4.6 g | 4,886 mg |
| #99 | 1,123 | 51 g | 4.5 g | 3,157 mg |
| Viral Nachos | 973 | 38 g | 3.9 g | 2,454 mg |
| The Martian | 881 | 32 g | 3.6 g | 1,796 mg |
| What Kev Eats | 1,762 | 61 g | 3.5 g | 4,232 mg |
Viral Nachos use the Sub in a Tub size plus one bag of Doritos. Full nutrition for every regular sub is on the Jersey Mike's nutrition menu.
On a Regular they run from $9.85 for The Martian to $13.20 for #8.5. The price is the base sub's price plus any meat, cheese or bacon extra, so a secret order never costs less than the sub it starts from. Store prices differ by state, which the decoder above can show.

Not as an official list. Jersey Mike's never printed a secret menu, and the builds on this page come from customers, food writers and staff posts. They work because each one uses bread, meat, cheese and toppings the store already stocks, so the person at the slicer can make it from a plain description.
Most stores can, because it is a #56 with chipotle mayo, and both are on the regular menu. Not every employee knows the name, so ask for the #56 with chipotle mayo instead. A Regular costs $10.95 at the standard price, the same as a plain #56, since sauce has no charge.
No. The cheese steaks come only as a Regular, a Giant or a Sub in a Tub, and none of them lists a wrap. The bowl is the lighter way to have a #99: it drops to 784 calories with 19 g of carbs, against 1,123 calories on a Regular roll.
Yes, as long as you build them yourself. The app has no secret menu names, so pick the base sub, choose the bread and add sauces and toppings from its lists. Meat swaps, such as salami for ham, go in the special instructions box, and a few stores may prefer you ask at the counter.
People usually mean the juice: the red wine vinegar and olive oil blend squeezed on every cold sub Mike's Way. It is not sold as a separate sauce. On a Regular the oil blend adds about 250 calories and the vinegar about 3, which is why a sub tastes richer than its meat and cheese suggest.
No sub on the official menu uses those numbers, and no build for them shows up in the food press or Reddit threads we read. The only secret numbers with a clear recipe are the #99 and the #8.5. If someone at your store knows another one, ask them to describe what goes on it.
Yes. It ran as a limited item in 2011 for about two months. The official nutrition guide still lists it as ChixRoni, a Chicken Philly with pepperoni, at 900 calories for a Regular. Today you order a #16 Chicken Philly and ask for pepperoni on the grill.
It is a BLT dressed Mike's Way with chipotle mayo, pepper relish, pickles and banana peppers, made popular by pregnant customers avoiding sliced deli meat. It is a customer build, not a menu item, and our nutrition menu page breaks down its calories step by step.
They come and go. Stores were given a register button and a prep guide, but the nachos never joined the printed menu. If your store cannot ring them up, order a #17 Philly as a Sub in a Tub with jalapeños and chipotle mayo, buy a bag of Doritos and pour the bowl over the chips.
The Martian is the lightest of these builds on a Regular, at 881 calories. For any build, the Sub in a Tub is the easiest way to cut calories, because the roll alone carries roughly 300 of them, and asking for light oil or no mayo trims more.
