Jimmy John’s

Well staffed, and nice staff, but the Slim 2 I ordered was basically a thin folded up slice of roast beef on a thickish roll. That was disappointing. If that’s par for the course from JJ then there’s no reason to ever eat at any JJ location.

Very fast service and great delivery people. Perfect on a cold day you don’t want to leave the office. There aren’t a lot of great options within walking distance near me and Jimmy John’s has never failed me. Granted this is generally for speed over quality, but when you’re in the mood it beats something greasier, and it is a fairly customizable.
However, their customer service today is slipping. For the first time, the receptionist — who did have a hard time with English — got my order wrong. I asked for a Country Club and got a Club Lulu, which is bacon not ham.
I called and the manager was not apologetic. «It says here you ordered a Club Lulu.» but I had never heard of the sandwich before, so how could I have ordered it? No I don’t want to wait another 10 minutes for the right sandwich, just apologize and give a longstanding customer a rebate/​free sandwich on their next order. That’ll cost you less and be better customer service, and I’ll still be sure to tip well. (I shouldn’t have to tip twice for the same sandwich, nor should some nice delivery guy not get a tip. My guess is they have turnover problems)
Two strikes and you are almost out; it’s almost springtime and walking doesn’t look so bad. I won’t be so merciful on the update.

I love Jimmy Johns. I have ate at everyone in Champaign. They rock and the speed is awesome!!!

Great service, tasty sub (Billy Club+hot peppers), very clean establishment, tons of staff! Keep up the great work.

This was the first JJ’s I ever ate at. The army of sandwich artists working at this location had our sandwiches made literally 10 seconds after we ordered, beating out all of the other locations across the U.S. I’ve been to. Everything was made as ordered and tasted great.

I’m slightly confused at the high ratings. JJ isn’t bad. But everyone raving about the bread? It’s average. Yes, delivery is crazy fast, and they are just slightly better than other huge chains, but is that our standard now? Better than the worst?
The workers here are okay — they can be a bit on the rude side, but it depends who you get.
Personally, I’d rather go to a local joint, one that is not being sued for wage theft and accused of making its employees (even drivers) sign unprecedented non-​compete clauses.

I love their tuna sandwich, my favorite. Bread smells good, the vegetables are fresh. The best is that it is super quick. Order is ready even before I finish paying

I’ve been here many times. I get a perfect portion of food when I am hungry. They hand me the sandwich by the time I can walk around the counter. The employees are always motivated and fun.

You want super fast food and amiable service? Well, this is the place to go for super fast 8″ subs. You’ll need to pay for the parking meter though to eat at this place.

Subs So fast you’ll freak. Sandwich done before you put your change in your pocket.

the bread… the bread… the bread.
eat it and be happy.

well, that was fast! my sandwich was made before i even finished paying.
The bread wasn’t anything to write home about.
The whole experience was simple, fast, and easy.

Today I had a Big John w/​o mayo, and it was just about heavenly. I asked for Hellmann’s Mayonnaise packets on the side and applied it to my liking and for some reason it tasted way better than the mayo they use (which I am pretty sure is Hellmann’s Mayo as well). Anyways, today was the best experience I had from Jimmy John’s thus far. And may I add, FAST SERVICE! :) JJS is gnarly. (not to keen on the prices though– for a college student {or atleast me} they tend to be a tad bit pricey [for any 8in. about $ 4.25 for pickup/​$ 5.25 for delivery]. If you are wondering: «Why only 3 stars?»… Well Jimmy John’s Sandwiches are no frills get your sandwich and go kind of place, it is a franchise that makes for somewhat decent lunch/​dinner option for busy college students/​or anyone.

First of all –these sandwiches taste like nothing. OK, they taste like fattening mayo and dull, crunchy iceburg lettuce. This to me is the epitome of bland American fare… no culinary flare whatsoever and so unhealthy for you.
It’s a shame that people can’t find a more delicious sandwich option in town. We have so many! If the only reason you like this place is because it’s fast… then I’m sorry.

My second stop on my Champaign food tour was to pick up Jimmy Johns on the way to the hospital. I needed something that I could take into my Mom’s hospital room (which ruled out Papa Del’s) so I stopped by this Jimmy Johns. I was in and out in about 2 minutes, with a delicious sub in my hand. What makes these subs so good is the bread… the best I’ve ever had at a sub shop. They do really pile on the mayo though, but that’s part of JJ’s experience… 100 x better than Subway!
I wish they had a Jimmy John’s in Phoenix!

On multiple occasions, I have had my sammich in my hands before I’m even finished paying.
This JJ is ultra fast… and it may or may not have to do with it being overstaffed. There’s someone to yell a greeting to you as you walk in, someone to take your order, a few heads on the sammich line, a cashier, and I’m pretty sure we got a farewell holler too.
How about they donate someone to the bake-​Tricia-​some-​of-​that-​awesome-​wheat-​bread-​on-​a-​daily-​basis cause?

Ah, my first Jimmy John’s. So many memories…

I love Jimmy John’s. Jimmy John’s is my sub sandwich shop of choice. I love the insanely fast service and the mind-​blowingly delicious bread and fixings. That is why I dropped by here on my most recent visit for a quick lunch before driving 4 hours back home.
Speed was not this location’s problem. Nor was space. They were both efficient and huge with about 8 people working. Granted, they were not really busy when I stopped in.
I got my ‘usual.’ That is, a #2 (roast beef) with hot peppers, easy on the mayo. Not difficult, to be certain, and MAJORLY delicious. In about 30 seconds, my sandwich was handed to me. I sat down, unwrapped it, and was treated to what can only be described as a wet sub. Wet. Mayo was dripping out of the corners, but not because there was too much… but because it was wet. Wet with what, I’m not sure. I think perhaps they didn’t shake the vinegar off the hot peppers, or didn’t squeeze the lettuce properly or something. It was pretty gross and I was pretty disappointed.
Also, most of the tables still had crumbs and refuse all over them. There were about 3 customers in this enormous place, and 8 workers. To me, those tables could definitely have been cleaned in a timely manner.

Your standard Jimmy Johns. They made your subs fast, empty your wallets even faster. This place was great since last year I lived in PAR (worst dorm ever at the time) so it just was a quick walk/​bike ride away. I don’t order much from here anymore with so many other options around, since I live pretty far away from Lincoln now, but if you’re in the area and looking for some quick food, definitely the place to stop at.

Probably my favorite thing about this place is how fast it is. They literally have your sandwich made in like 2 minutes, it’s beautiful. And the sandwiches are really good. I’ve never been unhappy with Jimmy Johns, it’s perfect for drunk food, sober food, all food. I even had it for breakfast once.
Rather than having to fuck around with specifying EXACTLY what you want while they take ages moving the stupid sandwich down the line like at some OTHER sub shops, Jimmy Johns already knows what you want and they are not time wasters with your dinner. Plus it’s not too expensive, and sometimes they accidentally give you free cheese. Turkey Tom all the way!
