The small town had two restaurants that divided the area with the competition for the best place. On one side the colorful, casual vibe of Bubakoo’s pulled in customers with its fresh tacos and burritos. On the other side, Jersey Mike’s stood as a staple, known for its hearty subs and reputation. Both have their loyal customers, but the rivalry between the two spots is notable. If you’re craving something handheld and flavorful, which spot should you head to?

There are many places to go for lunch in Point Pleasant, but two of the most popular happen-to-be neighbors. Jersey Mike’s has grown into a nationwide chain, but Bubakoo’s isn’t there yet. The quality of the food, prices, and style are what differentiate the two. Prices start around $7-8 for a regular sub at Jersey Mike’s, where the burritos typically range from $6-9.

Both have a freshness and good quality food, but who is the winner? After interviewing students of Point Boro High School 6 out of 17 said Jersey Mikes and 11 out of 17 said Bubakoo’s.

If you’re in the mood for a hearty fresh sandwich Jersey Mike’s is the place to go. However, if you’re craving something with a bit more spice and customizable freedom, Bubakoo’s Burritos offers a fun and flavorful alternative.

Ultimately your choice depends on what kind of meal you’re after, so what will you choose?
