  "We don't serve hot peppers here"
  
  Well then. Close up shop until you find some or fix your sign. Grumpus here does not like ordering that which is advertised (and at a ridiculous additional cost) only to be told "nuh uh".
  
  P.S. There are 5 gigantic jars of hot peppers on the shelf. I know it's part of the decor, but how about you break glass in case of emergency and make it happen?
  
  Oh, review. Not just complaint board. Right. Forgot about that. Uhh...they made the sandwich fast? I freaked? Ironic wall signage made me cackle with amusement and delight? Whatever.

  I had lunch here for the first time the other day, and I have no complaints about the experience: the employees were friendly, my sandwich came out quickly, it tasted good, the tables were clean, and the atmosphere was pleasant enough.  This isn't a place to write home about, but it's perfectly fine for a quick sandwich.

  Easy mayo, please, EASY MAYO.  This place just doesn't understand what that means and I try and stress it more and more every time I come in.  They love their mayo here, and I just don't.
  
  However, Jimmy John's is freaky fast, and that's great because I don't have a lot of time for lunch.  The sandwiches tast fresh and I like both the ham and cheese, and the turkey and bacon sandwiches.  
  
  I would hope for 2 things...pickles that go on the sandwiches and wheat bread in sub form, not loaf.  If these 2 things happened, I would be oh so happy and Jimmy John's wouldn't be holding themselves back from having an even greater quick sandwich restaurant.

  JJ's claims that it is a gourmet sandwich shop. It is less gourmet than Subway. Few sandwich options and just conventional toppings. The meat is scant.
  
  I will say that the service here was very friendly and by the time I got my change, my sandwich was ready. F*n fast.

  Jimmy John's has got to be one of the fastest sandwich makers in the history of sandwich making.
  
  My brother took me for the first time back in the mid-90's down at U of I. It was a bit cheaper back then, but still tasted good.
  
  My favorite: Tuna.
  
  Also, I hear they deliver even if you just order ONE sandwich! How cool is that? Can't wait to try it.

  I've always liked the food (a staple in college), but whereas I used to order the #5, due to issues with my intestines and such, I have to be very careful with what I order now. I went in and ordered a #13 unwich, minus the cheese, mayo (both of which I cannot eat), and tomato (which I just don't like). After I placed my order, the cashier commented "That's no fun."
  
  Gee dude. Sorry MY order for MY food isn't fun for YOU. Hell, it's not much fun for me either, but it's all I can eat at your shop thanks to my health problems and your fatty foods. The food was decent this trip, but as I'd only ever give them 4 stars, they lose 2 of them thanks to the comment. I mean really? Do you really need to comment on what I order? That's one way to make sure I never come back. Even if I could eat whatever I wanted there, don't comment on it.
  
  I tend to avoid places like this that comment on my food selections or make faces at me when I order. It's really unnecessary and rude. I will always be polite to you when you comment, but I guarantee I'll be wishing I had the balls to tell you to: "Take your comment and shove it up your arse."

  Once they forgot the tuna in my tuna sandwich.  Enough said.
  
  For lunch, this is probably the LAST place I would want to order from but when you are outnumbered, you're left with no choice.  Overpriced and not enough substance.  They are fast though.

  The last time I went there it was SUPER fast but it was not exactly right..... I ordered the Italian Night Club without the oil and got it with the oil (and so much the outside of the bread was SHINY). Ick.

  Tasty and efficiently served sub sandwiches. The best thing about their sammies are the bread and the cheese. If I could ask them what kind of cheese they use, I would. Maybe I will someday. My personal faves are the italian and the vegetarian.
