Nasty! I walked into this place and the only thing that wasn't on the floor was the skank behind the counter on her phone. Oh! There was another guy back there texting, but he couldn't be bothered with customers. I ordered and before I could move a step to pay, my sandwich was handed to me. One guy told the sandwich maker that it wasn't mine. Umm, there is no one else in line or at a table without food. So he put it down and gave it to me again with my other sandwich. That is when I saw the food that could feed a small country on the floor. Hell, I didn't know Hurricane Sandy reached this far West! I am in no way a prude, and I go to some real shit holes for good food! This was in fact a SH, complete with a full ensemble of helmet wearing tards! Â You know, the window lickers on the short bus! I was not sure if eating that sandwich was a wise idea. Who knows how long it was sitting behind the counter before it was thrown at me. Lucky for me my tuna sub was all lettuce. No actual fish were killed in the making of this sandwich, so there was nothing to spoil. Glad I spent 15 bucks without chips for this one of kind experience. Freaky Fast. No! Just Freaky!
Review Source:I love Jimmy Johns, but this location is so slow. Â Used to live in the Gold Coast, and the location there is awesome. Â Great people, fastest delivery ever (like 10 minutes), and always fresh. Â This location takes up to forty minutes sometimes, and I live down the street. Â At times it would be faster for me to walk the six blocks down Chicago Ave. to get our food. Â Such a bummer!
Review Source:This is the worst Jimmy Johns! I am very dissapointed with the customer service. Being someone who spends sadly atleast $100 on them i have horrible service and will now walk to another location. They constantly forget the mustartd i always order. The past three time it took them well over an hour. I tip them atleast $3 all the time sometimes 4 or 5....and they are so rude. I told them about the order being wrong they put mayo and im allergic so i called and apologized that i felt bad for them coming out again and he wanted me to take the sandwhich out of the trash to show him!
Review Source:I do NOT understand the Jimmy John's hype! Bland, overpriced, limited version of Subway. Atmosphere? Absolute crap. The only good thing about this place is their $0.50 old bread.
I really wish this place would be replaced with something more appetizing. Panera Bread? Corner Bakery? Chipotle? Anything really.
there's something about the bread here that sets it apart from your quizzno's and subways that I've come to eat in cali! Otherwise it'd be similar fillings with similar bread but once you bite into this midwestern piece of awesomeness, you'll immediately notice the warm crispy-ness of the bread which sets it apart and makes love to your stomach. DROP BY HERE!
Review Source:I'm a huge fan of Jimmy Johns for two reasons:
1. Subs so fast it's freaky
2. The subs are really yummy and always consistent
This location still can accomplish #2, but #1 has been a let down. Â I ordered one sandwich today (our office is 4 blocks away) and it took an hour and 15 minutes to get here. Â If they would have just let me know it was that long for delivery, I would have been happy to walk over and get it myself.
Very public location - right by the Chicago red line.
Super fast, with super fresh ingredients. I can be at the back of the line, extending to bum fuck nowhere, and I know I'll be ordering my sub in a matter of minutes.
Speedy service and delicious sammiches. Sometimes it's the simple things in life.
I ordered the J.J. Gargantuan and my friend bought Country Club which had turkey breast, apple wood ham, provolone, tomato, and mayo. The J.J. signature club was very tasty. Before biting into the hero, I believed it was going to be another deli hero. It was different because the taste was sweet but yet not too sweet. The Gargantuan looked small but actually filled me up for a while, unlike the Subway sandwiches that only fill me up for 2 hours. Subway cuts back on their meat by only placing a layer of meat for each variety you bought. Gargantuan included salami, smoked ham, capicola, roast beef, turkey, mayo, lettuce and homemade Italian dressing. The bread looks plain too but it taste really good. It was very soft in your mouth.
Review Source:So it has been a while since I have been here, but a recent trip to the new Jimmy John's in Tempe, AZ made me want to review this location as well. I remember this place fondly. Bread was fresh and tasty. The ingredients were always fresh no matter what I ordered. The food came fast, the staff was friendly. No complaints!
Review Source:I think of your fresh baked bread every night and day.You took my heart and then you took my pride away, Jimmy Johns.
That's why I hate  myself for loving you.
I wanna walk, but I run back to you Jimmy Johns. Â I can't quit you!
This location is exceptionally fast, and friendly and they enable me to continue my illicit love affair with french bread, deli meats and cheeses.
The service at this location sucks big donkey balls (ESPECIALLY on the phone), and their delivery times range anywhere from 5 seconds to an hour no matter what time of day it is or what kind of window they give you.
Today I faxed in an order (to avoid their rude order takers who answer the phone) for a few people in my office, they never called to confirm they received it and when it showed up things were missing. Â When I called to inform them to either bring back the cash or the missing items, the guy on the phone was beyond rude and disinterested. Â (If you don't love your job, do us all a favor and QUIT.)
It's no secret I love the food at Jimmy John's, but it never ceases to amaze me how they can screw up meat on bread. Â It's not rocket science, folks.
Johns is an excellent breakfast option, but on two recent dinners I have to say the place is at best average. Â The "Pub Burger" Wednesday special was ok at best, and didn't include the typical menu side or the advertised toasted bun and fell short relative to other neighborhood options. Â Nice place for Sunday or with familys.
Review Source:(There is not a lot of good, somewhat cheap food to be had in this area...this is the first in my attempt to review all the places I eat lunch as a person who works on the Mag Mile.)
In all my years going to the Dub-J I have only eaten one thing there:
#6, chips and a Diet Coke. Â Once they added Jalapeno Chips I stopped bouncing between regular and bbq.
I will eat Jimmy Johns for lunch and dinner in the same day and I am not ashamed. Â The crew that works at this branch is A-1. Â I could not ask for a more solid group of sandwich-composers and bike-riders.
This is as good as it gets.
1) Nice, sunny spot on Chicago Ave. with plenty of tables and a community board.
2) Cheap food--a sandwich for $4-6 or lunch for $7-8.
3) Fast, fast, fast sandwichmaking. These people don't dawdle with your order.
4) Fresh, good ingredients. Great "French" bread (really it's so much better) and the creamiest mayo.
5) Delicious sandwich choices. Veggie is pure bliss.
Good food that gets REALLY good if you're hungry.
I had a lunch experience here today that will put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.
First of all, Jimmy Johns is better by a long shot, than many of the quick sandwich places for lunch. Their bread is way taster and chewier than Subway. I feel dirty ordering an "8 inch Vito", but it's a really great kind of dirty. Love the salami they  use, and the vegetables taste very fresh. They have two non-carbonated drink options, which I always like. Store itself is neat and clean.
The counter employees are slovenly and disinterested, but the sandwich builder guys are quick to make your sandwich - with a smile! And they are neat and clean as well. Sandwich is neatly wrapped.
While tossing my sandwich in a bag, I happened to be singing along to the Psychedelic Furs' "Heaven" (one of my favorite songs, takes me back to my dissolute life shortly after college), playing in the store. A cute 20something bike messenger, also singing to it, gave me a big smile. Then, on the way out, he gave my butt a little slap and said "Damn. You have one gorgeous ass in those jeans." WHOA! This cougar started to purr - I Â must have some sort of vibe today! Bike messengers rule! Unless they're being assholes, but apparently this was not the day for that.
Made it really hard to go back to  the building where I work, and follow all the slow-moving cows onto the elevator, as they lumbered back to work. The service at JJ's is so quick I was there and back to work in 15 minutes.
Now . . . they need to get Salt n' Vinegar potato chips - or maybe they were out - but the Jalapeno chips were tasty-hot-crunchy.
I fully realize your experience may vary, but I can tell you right now - I'm recommending Jimmy John's for lunch for ALL my girlfriends!
and PS, I'm NEVER taking these jeans off . . .
Five stars because I lived down the street from this one.... But one complaint.... Can you guys move to Southern California....like tomorrow? Â Thanks, that would really make my day. Â
Always go with either the Vito or the Veggie. And before I can put my credit card back in my wallet, they are handing me my sandwich. Â Seriously so fast. Â And thanks for the free smells. Always appreciated.
This isn't a Gourmet sandwich shop.  It's a basic, COLD sandwich provider.  They are consistent, you'll get the same quality at all of them.  This location is nice because it's a fast, healthy, and inexpensive alternative among  fast food, bar food, and fancy shmancy places.  Never tried their delivery service.
Review Source:i've made better sandwiches at home with 4 ingredients.
i don't really understand why this place is so popular... Â I have a sneaky suspicion that it's all the Michigan immigrants who like boring food and won't eat exotic things like mushrooms and onions. Â Every time i've ever eaten here, I've left thinking "wow, that was the most boring and bland sandwich I've ever had" ..
I literally stumbled into this joint when I was walking aimlessly around in Chicago trying to find my hotel. Â The service was speedy, and the guys there recommended an Italian sub that was really very tasty and hit the spot. Â If I was in the neighborhood, I suspect I'd get in the habit of eating here on a fairly regular basis.
Nice job Jimmy John.
Jimmy John's is the worst. Â I have no idea how this chain survives in a town with so many choices. Â Is everyone else who gave them good reviews from the suburbs or something?
The sandwiches are utterly unremarkable, the restaurants seem dirty, the staff are rude and I absolutely hate the "clever" signs up everywhere.
I used to not like jimmy johns, and now I can't figure out why. My top picks are the beach club (w/ NO mayo and no cheese) on wheat bread and the turkey tom (w/ no sprouts). They put sprouts on a lot of their sandwiches, and sometimes, they just ruin it. Both options for bread are amazing. To cut back on calories (because these are not healthy sandwichs), go sans mayo and cheese. The avocado spread is not lo-cal, but its avocado (a healthy fat!). The staff will also have you in and out in a hurry.
Review Source:A huge part of my diet in college, I was thrilled to find one blocks from my apartment. Â When I was living in California a friend and I planned a trip to Reno, NV for some gambling and Jimmy John's. Â I don't know why we made the trip, could have been Jimmy John's withdrawal, and no I am not a spokesperson. Â Anyway, check them out if you are in a sandwich mood and find out for yourself.
Review Source:Jimmy John's is great! Â It's healthy, fast, delicious, and pretty cheap...you can't ask for too much more than that! Â This location is particularly well run. Â You'll be in and out in a jiffy. Â The inside seating area is not too big, but they also have a nice outdoor area that is in a great location for people watching.
