So I have been going to various jj’s in the past few months and a few weeks ago, I noticed that their portions are lacking… Don’t get me wrong in that their quality is good but the portions lack, specifically meat and cheese. I am spending 10 to 11 dollars at lunch. So my new go to is Jersey Mike’s and Firehouse.

Such a bummer to have to update so soon negatively. Apparently something is going on at this store. This is the 2nd time now in my own personal recent history I’ve been told service would not be so freaky fast due to delivery person issues. Again they only have one person on — she said because one person just quit 20 minutes ago. She quoted me close to 90 minutes wait on delivery. Okay fine, but twice in about a week or so? Ehhhhh… Now, she was super pleasant and apologetic. So thank you for that. And I’m sorry that obviously you’re working in a not so great situation so, kudos to you for still not letting a hint of displeasure grace your tone. I will continue to order from here because I can pickup, and because I don’t have an option. But obviously there is a problem here. Either you’re hiring the wrong people(the kind who will call in on weekend nights) or you are not providing a good environment for your delivery staff(forcing them to be overworked and/or work alone on weekend nights because you don’t have a contingency plan in place to cover such things). Back in my day, when you were down to one(insert any position in the company here), the management or owners stepped in and worked it, because they didn’t want to lose money or have customers get a negative impression. Maybe they are all on vacation or in the hospital.

Why you so slow? Next time I’m ordering bite squad. I’m crying a little inside for my terrible decision. Step your game up.

I have been here a few times during their lunch hour. This is a great place to grab a bite to eat. When I am working in the area, I love coming here during my lunch break. This place is a great alternative for those who are bored with Subway, which is also excellent but can be tired-some sometimes. This is a smaller-than-average Jimmy John’s compared to other Jimmy John’s I have been. That is not a bad thing. For the most part, the employees have a great eye at keeping the lobby and work area clean and organized. They do amazing in their work area, which they keep almost spotless. The only improvement I think can be made is the clutter in the lobby, particularly leftover newspapers from previous customers. Besides that, I feel comfortable walking in here and eating a good lunch. Most of the employees are friendly and outgoing. There are a couple individuals who are quiet, but that is not always a bad thing. They are great at making suggestions to what they think would work great for my meal. At times, their lunch hour can get busy and hectic. During those times, the employees seem to carry themselves well and get the line going at a reasonable pace. I have had a couple people suggest me to do their online ordering. I have yet to do that, but I may consider it for the future. The food is delicious. My favorite is a tie between the turkey sub and the meatball sub. My food is always served to me hot and fresh. I love that they serve it with chips and a drink if I order it in the meal, which I do every time. I can tell that they employees have a great eye on freshness of their toppings and their meats. The prices are reasonable. My only food suggestion is to have an option of whether or not to toast the bread. When I am in the area and need a good lunch during my lunch break, I will continue to keep this place in mind. I feel like I can count on them to come through for my lunch break.

Ordered an hour and a half ago. Still not here. Oh and it’s the 2nd time this has happened in one week. Why haven’t I learned my lesson?

Freaky fast??? Waited 20 minutes inside and apparently«lost» the order. Late night manager is for the birds. Never has making a basic sandwich been so difficult. Lessoned learned: go to Caffrey’s

So my friends have had some bad experiences with this locations. I’ve always defended it until today. I placed a simple delivery order at 9:16pm, as of 10:06pm I still haven’t received my order. It’s probably of note that I live 2 blocks away. Yes, I could’ve walked there and picked it up, but it’s cold and I’m paying for delivery. Called the JJ twice. They said the driver would be there shortly. 10:09 — still not here. Cancel my order I’m not paying for this freaky slow delivery. If my card is charged when I wake up in the morning HQ Better be expecting a call from me. Quote me!

I have never waited so long for a Jimmy Johns sub before. I honestly could’ve gotten out quicker at a subway. I ordered a Big John Unwich and while at most locations it’s wrapped nicely in lettuce, here it was basically trying to eat a chopped salad – I should’ve asked for a fork. The demeanor of the workers is also very unprofessional – it seemed like they were half asleep. This is the first time I’ve ever been disappointed in a JJ’s! I hope they can get their act together!

Okay, I normally dig Jimmy John’s. #12 is my jam– who doesn’t like avocado on a sandwich? This location sucks though. I’ve never really enjoyed it here. Usually, the employees are clearly high or drunk and could really care less about the customer(which, at other JJ’s is not the case!) and more about what bar they’re gonna go to later. The sandwiches are never as good as usual either, and I’m not saying that with a bias. If I ask for sprouts, I don’t want all of the sprouts you have and just one slice of turkey. The real kicker was today though. I rolled in after a barbecue where I had been drinking a few brews. Some girl, done with her shift,(who seemed like a manager) decided to start taunting me for appearing a little under the influence. «Well I guess it’s 5 o’ clock somewhere,» she kept saying to her buddies and pointing at me, when in fact, it was also past 5 o’ clock here. Good joke, idiot. I guess her managerial skills explain why this location sucks so hard. You should never be treated this way as a customer. From now on I’ll keep my JJ consumption to other areas and order from the much better quick serve/delivery options in Uptown. Pizza Luce, Taco Cat, Falafel King, Toppers, Mesa… I guess I won’t miss you that much, Jimmy.

This is one of the worst Jimmy John’s ever. The actual store isn’t that bad, but let’s be honest, people like jimmy johns b/c of their freaky fast no charge delivery. DONOTBEFOOLED. This Jimmy Johns is freaky SLOW. and I have never received a sandwich from them in less than 50 mins. They’ve gotten my order completely wrong twice, and I only ever order a #4. No special requests. Come on guys. get better, b/c you suck.

I just don’t get the appeal of Jimmy John’s. At all. Especially when there are SO many better options nearby(as a previous reviewer mentioned). Caffrey’s and Milio’s are just two excellent options that come to mind, and at similar price points(with higher quality ingredients). There are also way better chains out there, like Erbert and Gerbert’s. The ingredients Jimmy John’s uses are sub-par, at best. And what is up with slathering unholy amounts of Mayo all over each sandwich? Even when no Mayo is specifically requested, it tends to show up when ordering delivery. I have been in this location before and was less than impressed with the staff. A friend and I got sandwiches and stuck around to eat them; boy, I wished we hadn’t! The employees were being so rude to each other, fighting and calling each other foul names. It was some R-rated language, let me tell you! I was frankly shocked that they were speaking to one another that way; next time try showing some semblance of professionalism when customers are present and address your differences in private. Sheesh.

While on a family trip, we stopped in at this place for lunch. We were attracted to the reviews, and also the un-wich. We found the place adequate, kinda interesting, but nothing special. The kids said the sandwiches tasted OK, but didn’t finish them(not normal!). They weren’t bad, they just weren’t anything to write home about. Great idea, needs some work.

This location has DISHONEST late shift employees who STEAL from their customers. This Jimmy John’s has a tip line included on the receipt, which is the first I’ve seen from Jimmy John’s as I am not from the area and the JJ’s I frequent do not have them. I always find it laughable when a fast food restaurant includes a tip line, which is why I am so outraged to find that the sandwich jockey behind the counter gave himself a $ 2 tip when I clearly crossed out the tip line and left no tip. I am disputing the charge with my credit card company and will never return to this location. I’m stunned with how dishonest some people can be; these guys definitely give the food service industry a black eye by FLATOUTSTEALING from patrons. I recommend checking your credit card statements or paying with cash when coming to this location, so that at least when the employees steal, it’s from their employer and not from you.

$ 5 sandwiches — yes! In todays tough economy –its just what I need and can afford. Turkey all the way! The bread is fresh, the ingredients are yummy, and the whole sandwiches end up being very tasty.

It baffles me why anyone would go to one of these chain fast food chain sandwich shops when there are much better fast food sandwich shops near by(Caffrey’s, Jasmine 26, Falafel King, Flavor Bees, Kowalskis), for about the same price(Are statements like this the definition of snobbery? Am I a snob?). My latest foray here(not by choice) included the Italian sub. It’s OK I guess, the hot pepers mask what a mediocre sandwich it really is. The Jimmy John’s sham was truly exposed by the Plain Slim’s Ham & Cheese w/o the lettuce that my wife bought for the kids. It was sad how skimpy it was, I was genuinely disgusted when I opened it up. A big hunk of low quality chewy white bread, dwarfing the wafer thin layers of meat of cheese. The shredded lettuce normally in the sandwiches makes it look literally three times its size. Without the lettuce it is like Congresswoman Michelle Bachman without the entertaining things she is caught saying and doing on camera — shallow and pedestrian.

Good food, fast service. If that is what you want, then here is your place. I give them a 3 only because they don’t have anything that makes them stand out amongst the other sandwich venues. With that said, I never leave dissappointed, just never wowed.

$ 4.50 for a eight inch sub that is tasty? This is your place. It was a great stop for lunch. The music is an odd mix of punk, acid jazz, and emo but for the food I can let that pass. Save money and get the #4 Turkey with Provolone. You’ll be hooked.

My love for you is stronger than steel, mightier than a, um, Trojan horse. The bread is soft, chewy, and I love that they scoop out a chunk of it to put the fixings in. I get the #6, which is the vegetarian. Alfalfa sprouts, provolone,(with avocado smear in between the cheese) lettuce, tomato, cukes, and I also get onions. They come in 8 inches; so they are a bit more money than subway. But they are totally worth it. And they deliver. The lame thing is that they are not in California. Boo.
