I don't get it. Some people love Jimmy Johns, and I have NO idea why. I've given them a fair chance 3 different times- and I just cannot give it more an one star. They don't carry most of the toppings that I like on my sandwiches, their bread is pathetic, and the prices and service is average or worse. I cannot believe this chain is actually sustaining.
Review Source:You know how their slogan is "... so fast you'll freak." Well, my sandwich came so fast today, I am freaking out. It took me longer to figure out what I wanted than for them to get it to me. Less than 10 minutes from ordering online to my door. I think they have telepaths on staff. I bet if I thought about a sandwich hard enough, I'd have it in five minutes.
Review Source:I'm a big believer in giving restaurants that I have reviewed badly a second chance and today Jimmy John's exemplified why that is a necessary practice.  I was feeling under the weather so a cold sandwich seemed like a good choice.  I went online and placed a delivery order for a "Turkey Tom" but custom added cheese and avacado.  I also ordered a cup of sweet tea and a side of Jimmy Chips.  This time when the  sandwich arrived within 15 minutes it was made to order with exactly the toppings that I had requested.  Everything tasted incredibly fresh and there was the perfect amount of avacado on the sandwich.  The sweet tea was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Jimmy Chips contain only three ingredients; potatos, 100% premium peanut oil, and sea salt.  I'm so glad I gave Jimmy John's a second chance becasue they just elevated themselves from delivery hell to a five star establishment.
Review Source:I've been seeing commercials on this place being "freaky fast" so I thought I would give it a try while in Louisville for a conference. Â Yep, it's fast and delicious. Â I got the "Bootlegger". Â Its all good, but the bread is the best part.
We went out to a park area to eat because one thing I don't care for is all the hollering that goes on to communicate what the order is and who's order is ready. Â Too much chaos for me. Â I'm more of a mello lunch eater.
Let me start by saying that I've only had food delivered from this location. I placed my order online and my food arrived not very long after my order was placed (Less than 15 minutes). This shop specializes in one kind of food, and one kind only, Cold sandwiches. Sometimes you just want a nice sandwich with no fried bits or goopy, dripping sauces. This shop delivers on what they promise. I like whole grain bread so I have not tried the other bread options. I enjoyed my Beach Club (no mayo & added bacon). I've also had the tuna club which was not bad. If you're looking for an alternative to fast food burgers this is your place to go.
Review Source:Yes I know I'm writing a review for Jimmy John's.
But Jimmy - WORD UP!! I LOVE strolling to Jefferson for lunch - no matter how busy this place is, it is so crazy efficient the line just keeps moving along. And being a comparatively uptight northeasterner, that kind of efficiency makes my heart just go pitter-patter.
The sandwiches are legit. They have a "skinny chips" option to make me feel less like a fat ass, though the napkins say "WIPE" and make me feel oddly dirty for some reason. No matter...
Best of all, when its raining, I am STILL motivated to get food from Jimmy's because they deliver! Want to make friends in your office? Offer to get them in on your Jimmy Johns take-out order...people will suddenly know your name. No lie.
Thank you Jimmy John's for making lunch in downtown Louisville a better experience for all of us.
Went here for lunch the first day of our conference as it was walking distance from our hotel. There is a ton of energy at this place. The staff are all friendly and upbeat, and they MOVE. My sandwich was ready about a second after I finished paying. They have got their whole process DOWN! The place smells heavenly since they make their bread there.
We got there just in time, as right after we sat down, there was a line out the door, and the place was basically already full, so this is clearly a favorite place to go for lunch.
I got the #6, The Vegetarian: Provolone, avocado spread, cucumber, sprouts, lettuce, tomato & mayo. Also got a bag of Jimmy John chips.
I would definitely recommend Jimmy John's as a great place to get a fast, yummy sandwich. Â Their napkins say "Wipe!" and their cups say "Drink!". Â There are all sorts of fun and funky things on the walls. Â The place is fun.
