I didn't request anything special, but they messed up my sandwich and I have to say - the employees here (minus the cashier guy) are f-ing morons!
There's nothing fast about Jimmy John's, I'm so tired of that "freaky fast" slogan they've got. Â Maybe their delivery service can hustle, since anytime I've been in Jimmy John's there's a sandwich maker spending time on catering orders and ignoring people who are present. Â When it came down to actual patrons physically present, there weren't many, and no one was waiting before me. Â Whatever system they follow that makes things a priority blows.
So I stood there, and I watched Seniorita Sandwichmaker with her greasy hair make at least 4 sandwiches before she looked up and said, "what are you waiting for?" Â I told her, "beach club," and she got on it - almost right away.
Then she passed the sandwich to another employee who just kept yelling, "NUMBER 12? NUMBER 12?! DID YOU HAVE A NUMBER 12?" Â Well, shit lady, I didn't memorize the number to my sandwich and I can't see the menu, so I GUESS I did.
I got back to work, and my sandwich was heaping with lettuce. Â And no bean sprouts. Â It sucks that you can't see behind their counter while they make your sandwich. Â Since I wasn't at the restaurant, a missing ingredient or wrong order really, really, makes me mad. Â Especially since they heaped on 3x as much lettuce instead. Â
The bread, and sandwich, isn't anything special, and I much prefer Jersey Mike's, Potbelly's, or even the redheaded step-child of sandwiches, Subway.
Fast service, clean location and fresh food. It's everything you love about Jimmy John's.
I don't use this location for delivery. But it's a nice spot to eat lunch or an early dinner after shopping at the mall (just a few miles up the road). It's nice, quiet and not jammed with people. Plus the staff is extremely friendly. That's always a plus in my book.
Ok, ok, I know. Â 4 stars at a sandwich place? Â Well, I'm not comparing it to Morton's here, just to the other sub places (Subway, Potbelly, etc.)
I have worked near this Jimmy John's for approximately two years now, and have eaten there far more times than I can recall offhand (I admit it, I'm a sandwich junkie). Â I've also checked out Jimmy John's in Madison and Kansas City, and have found all of them to be of a similar quality level.
I happen to love the French bread here, though it can be hit-and-miss. Â When it's straight out of the oven, it's some of the best I've ever had - soft, warm, and quite tasty. Â Now, if you need a bunch of junk dumped on top of your bread to enjoy it (see Subway), you may not like it. Â It's bread; plain and simple.
Though I've never had any qualms about any of the meats, I'm partial to the ham (smoked ham, that is...and quite tasty). Â I've always found the meats and vegetables to be fresh and appetizing - and I'm a stickler for fresh veggies.
I used to be a big fan of Subway (and in their defense, you get more food mass for your money), but after eating at Jimmy John's on a regular basis, I find it hard to go back - even for a somewhat better deal. Â Even the condiments at Jimmy John's are of higher quality, with Hellmann's mayo and Grey Poupon.
Overall, this is the best chain sandwich shop that I've found...and I've looked.
I like Jimmy John's too! Â I usually get the Bootlegger Club, if you haven't had it before, you should try it. Â As far as subs go, if I feel like I should be on a diet, I go to Subways, if I want something tasty, I come here. Â I too like the bread. Â Service is quick, what I would expect for a sandwich shop during lunch. Â Overall, it's good.
Review Source:I like Jimmy John's. I always get the #9 with hot peppers and always have a consistently good experience. Â I like the french bread over the wheat for this sandwich. Of the chain's (Subway, etc) It is my favorite. For a sub place I don't think it is the best and four stars may be high but it is better than average and there is no 3.5 star rating... <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjimmyjohns.com%2F&s=044ad18af8375654b22476dcd1948dcc7e7e6271746b0e21839fca0328889d30" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://jimmyjohns.com/</a>
