Jimmy John’s

Doesn’t deliver past Cedar road less than .25 of a mile from their location? Really odd.

Love the vegetarian sub, just had totally tuna. Loved it too. They deliver to me at work as well! Outstanding!

I have so many memories associated with this Jimmy John’s!
First, it was my go-​to Jimmy John’s to order from in college. I could always count on Jimmy John’s to bring me a delicious sandwich at all hours of the day and night (until 2 am, seriously?! The JJ’s here delivers until 10 p.m. I was so spoiled!) I ordered from them a countless number of times and only had a few hiccups:
1) Once, I gave the driver a $ 20 and told him to keep a $ 5. I got a $ 5 back. What, you seriously just took a $ 10 tip? I was a little inebriated, should I say, so I really wasn’t going to be persuasive if I argued with him about it. Boo.
2) Another time, it was NYE, and I REALLY wanted JJ’s. A cop was nice enough to give us a ride home (yep, actually just a ride, contrary to my freaked out friend’s fear — apparently I thought it was a cab, got right in, and kept trying to tip him…) and I called JJ’s from the back of the car. Upon finding out that they weren’t open, I left a rather interesting message about how badly I needed a #11 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I couldn’t really remember my address or phone number though. Bet they chuckled about that one for a while…
After college, I moved back and lived right off of Coventry for a year. Delivery was impossibly fast (because, yeah, even though I lived a few minutes away, I sometimes got delivery. So what?!) and when I went into the shop itself, the workers were always friendly and really fast in making my sub.
Overall, pretty great JJ’s. If you live in the area and order until 2 am, count your lucky stars, seriously. If I were in the area again and had a hankering for a #11, I’d definitely come back.

They were incredibly rude and short on the phone. Refused to deliver to a HOSPITAL during business hours, even though the nurses said they delivered all the time. Made it clear they couldn’t be bothered to take our order. I guess in the future they can’t be bothered to have any of our business. Will never order from this location agian.

I regularly order from the Jimmy John’s on cedar, but my brother decided to order from this one. Will never happen again… He ordered a sub (not sure of name), and it smelled really good. He also ordered no onions, and when the sandwich arrived it of course had extra onions… Not knowing my brother bit into the sandwich, he’s allergic to onions. And after contacting the store, the manager, Danny, asked my brother, «why can’t you just pick the onions off?» I of course was frustrated. I tipped the driver $ 3, and I want ever dime back from that store. 7 hours later, I’m still waiting on a call back regarding my refund… I will NEVER come or order from here.

Even the fast food guys need some love. The ingredients are fresh, the bread is soft, and they are the speed demons of sandwich making! No kidding. By the time you find a seat and fill your drink, your sandwich is ready for pick-​up. Perfect for that once in awhile lunch treat. Personally, I would take a JJ over Subway, any day.

always loved their bread. nuff said.

Seriously a great place for a quick bite at a low price. I’m normally not a big fan of sandwich chains, but Jimmy John’s just does it right for me :) My favorite sandwich is the Italian night club.

I only frequent this location about once a month– I personally recommend the Turkey Tom. However, nothing really special about it. I would have given this a three stars but felt the need to bump it to four due to how nice the people are. I always get friendly service when I come here! The bread was a bit hard on my last sandwich though. Customer Service 5– Food– 3… Average 4

no meat on a $ 5.50 sandwich, charged $ 1.25 for a pickle and woudlnt even cut it and put it on the sandwich. Better off going to subway– I just ate this thing and I’m still hungry.

Fast and delicious.
–1 star because they wont deliver to me!!!
I live about .5 miles north and yet they tell me I am not within their delivery zone (which shows how lazy i am. Im so ashamed. Oh well…)

This place is such a wonderful part of my life that I created a Unilocal account just so I could give it a five-​star review.
«Subs so fast you’ll freak» is important, especially at 2am when the bars start playing «Closing Time» and the college kids all stumble at once over to JJs. I often do freak due to the sheer speed of my sandwich creation.
The food is absolutely delicious. I’m sure it’s just a matter of taste, but to me, it’s not even a contest with whatever is being slapped on some rolls across the street. The bread is fantastic; the guts of the sandwiches are perfect. Whoever devised the recipes for these simple sandwiches (I assume Mr. Jimmy John himself) deserves an award.
JJ’s website is also pretty sweet. As a socially awkward Case grad, I prefer to do my business with a computer, rather than have to speak to a human on the phone, and their website is so complete that every option or request I might have had on the phone is covered.
Best of all, however, are the people that work at Jimmy John’s on Coventry. I love them. As a frequent flyer there for the past couple of years, most of them know my name and several of them know the few sandwiches I always choose between. They have always been friendly to me, drunk or sober, and have been introduced to my friends, stood up for me when crazy people were giving me a hard time, and have taught me the ways of the JJs. They are all-​around great people.
I recently moved out of the delivery zone of JJs and couldn’t be sadder about my loss of easy access to Jimmy John’s. Whoever is in charge of delivery zones, if you’re reading this, PLEASE expand a few blocks! My business would be worth it!

Got out of the Grog Shop Saturday night and got caught in the rain. It was a pretty nice night to be out. Starving. Waiting to get picked up. Was going to hit BK on the way home. Then I meandered down Coventry. Winking Lizard was already empty, Panini’s was full of losers, and the fire alarm was going off in the parking garage. I was starting to get agitated. Then I saw Jimmy John’s. Open at almost one a.m., looking clean, bright and organized. I got in, ordered some subs and had a seat to look out at the rain and tweet (yeah, sorry, I do that). Before I knew it my subs were ready. I got the 8″ vegetarian for me wife and the double sized Italian Night Club with salami, capicola, awesome vinaigrette and provolone. Shared with the dog in the car on the way home. It was really tasty. Service was so friendly despite the late night drunk crowd. Top of the game on Coventry.

I don’t have much to say, since this is a pretty solid sub place. While it’s better than Subway, it’s not as good as Dave’s. Since I live near Coventry and I have a choice between all three of them, it’s clear where I would rather go.
Anyways, Jimmy’s:
1. They’re fast.
2. The Beach Club never fails.
3. Sprouts.
4. Pickles.

I don’t know how I would have survived college without this Jimmy John’s. You can’t beat a sub shop that will deliver until all hours of the night. The subs are pretty solid and always made consistently. Jimmy John’s is the perfect place to be set on a street of bars.

Jimmy John’s was a staple of late-​night drunk food in college, but it made the transition well to sober, white collar lunch break food quite well. I think I enjoy it more now than I did then.
The meats are sliced fresh daily — not for each sandwich like at Jersey Mike’s, but good enough for me. I only ever ordered a #10 (roast beef and provolone) on French for the better part of 10 years, but a few months ago I switched to the #9 (Italian Night Club), also on French.
The meats are great. The cheese has flavor, and isn’t just a texture item. The French bread is outstanding. I disagree with a previous Unilocaler that said it’s not flavorful. For a white bread, it’s got a great, nutty flavor to it and is incredibly creamy. Also, the texture is perfect in my book. Chewy crust and a tender, yielding middle. MMmmmm…
I was just there today for lunch, as I try to do once a week, and the service is, as they say, so fast you’ll freak. My sub was in front of me before I could get my change in my pocket.
They also have a great line of potato chips. Great kettle chips in a few popular flavors.
Fun atmosphere, too, with funny signs on the walls. Can’t go wrong…

They have the fastest delivery anywhere. I absolutely love this place. My boyfriend and I order from this location at least once a week. The country club sub is my favorite! Keep up the good work. Grumms and Jimmy Johns are the best sub shops on Coventry.

Your basic sub shop. Great delivery speeds.

I admit… I’m biased. Many years ago, in college, I worked at a Jimmy John’s (not this one). But, compared to your usual sub joint, JJ’s is not that bad at all. They are actually pretty darn good.
The bread, while shipped to the stores frozen, is baked constantly throughout the day, and is far better than the likes of Subway or Quiznos. The meat is sliced throughout the day (I know because I did it), and the tuna is made daily. The pickles are awesome, and are worth the extra 75 cents or whatever the hell they charge. I can’t rightfully suggest a JJ’s over a good local spot, but if you want something good, and you want it quick, JJ’s is just fine. Honest. I would not suggest a place that was dirty or otherwise lame. I worked at one for six months and will still gladly stop at any JJ’s I come across… if you have worked in food service before you know that means something.
As far as this location goes, I have no complaints, other than that Dave’s is right across the street and may be more worthy of your money. But if you are home in the area, and really… hungry but not in the mood to leave the house, call JJ’s.
Oh yea… the big secret is «yesterday’s bread»…gross, right? No… you can get a loaf of bread from the night before for around 75 cents (same as a pickle? Curse you, fickle memory), but if you are on a strict budget (like any real college student not coasting on daddy’s money), it can go a long way with a little PB&J (so long as you toast it). They don’t really advertise this, but it’ll be on the counter when you walk in.

Junk. Another national sandwich chain trying to sell you «fresh baked bread» and «freshly shredded lettuce» at «an affordable price.»
It’s so gimmicky (a telltale sign that a business’ product can’t sell itself). All the employees are supposed to yell stuff when you walk in. And they yell stuff if you ask for chicken. And it’s supposed to be funny.
They have really simple sandwiches — but not simple in a homestyle, uncomplicated way. No, it’s tasteless-​white-​bread –with-​shredded-​lettuce-​and-​a-​smattering-​of– turkey simple. That’s it. Maybe they put some salt and pepper on it.
A waste of money… especially if you consider the Dave’s Cosmic subs right across the street (not only is it Cleveland-​based, but they actually have some interesting food).
