Jimmy John’s

1 small scoop of tuna for 7 $ and sandwich maker who could care less, not worth it, make my own next time

Ive always had a good experience with this location. I own a business in the area and we call often for lunch delivery. Our orders are always correct and they really do have super fast delivery! Everyone Ive spoken to has always been very friendly and so have the delivery people! Thanks for great service!

A few years ago I had an *awful* experience with the delivery service here (much like what some fellow Unilocalers have described) and vowed never to patronize them again… until, that is, I had a hankering the other day and decided to break down and give it another chance. I know, I know, what about principles?! Well, I ate them. And they were delicious.
Surprisingly, service was indeed «freaky fast». I am a few blocks away and got my order in under 15 minutes. Plus, the sandwich was just as ordered (and as tasty as my dreams). BUT what made it such an over-​the-​top experience was when the delivery guy who came to my door noticed a large box out on my porch and offered to bring it in for me. How sweet was that?! I politely declined, but was really struck how considerate that was. JJs for the comeback!

Ya know, I’ve re-​written this review a few times because I hate to jump to conclusions and I really hate to leave bad reviews on here, but this blew my mind so much that I really needed to document it.
This Jimmy John’s is right around the corner from my house. I just went for a walk around the neighborhood and saw one of the employees smoking weed on his walk to work. I confronted him about it in the parking lot (Walgreens parking lot, as he was entering the Jimmy John’s back entrance) and told him that it probably wasn’t such a good idea to smoke pot in broad daylight AND to do it before going to work, but what the hell do I know. He gave me attitude and I quickly backed off. I did put a call in to JJ’s corporate headquarters because if they are stoned while at work who the hell knows how clean the kitchen it– seriously.
I will never step foot in this place or order delivery from them again. It’s no wonder they are always so passive and unfriendly in there. I have definitely gone in and had the cashier not say one word to me, all the while wearing sunglasses indoors. Cool.

I come here once in a while because i lack more creative ideas for weekend lunch. I don’t care if people want to ride their bike in the store… I’d call it a perk and it sucks to have your bike stolen when you make nothing an hour. The food is what it is. I wouldn’t take my mom here for mother’s day but i would come here on a boring sunday where i don’t know what i want. Politically Jimmy John is a fuck stick that hates America and safaris, thus the two stars.

I have been in here quite a bit over the last few years. They are too cool to perform customer service tasks you would normally expect: smile, say thank you, etc. Today, while we ate, a man who worked here was blowing up the tires of his bike which was propped against the front counter. They seem to be clueless about making customers feel welcome.
I usually see at least one of them wheeling a bike either in and out of the store when I am here. I wonder if their shifts are incredibly short and therefore they make very little money. Even so, they will still need customer service skills when they get their dream jobs in the bike shop next door.
Oh, the sandwiches are fine.

I’ll give this place 1 star for getting my order right 99.9% of the time and for great food, but other than that I don’t have much nice to add. I get it, you’re bike messengers who couldn’t get that gig so you’re bitter. I get it, you don’t see yourself making sandwiches all your life, but you could still be friendly AND cool. Imagine that! It’s like those ford commercials, «great mpg and foot activated gate lift». Nice AND cool. You CAN do both.
So rude.

Solid Jimmy Johns! Clean, friendly, and Freaky Fast all the time!

If I had read all these negatives reviews, I probably wouldn’t have gone here … but for simply the sandwich (not the locations, service, cost, etc since I didn’t pay attention) … I would rate Jimmy John’s high!
I ate a Pepe sandwich (mayo, lettuce, tomato, turkey). It was VERY simple food, but I was so hungry so this tasted amazing. I could have eaten three more right after … it was really good. Sometimes you just need a normal sandwich while traveling, and this hit the spot!

I always order online for delivery. Very convenient.
The order had always been correct except once when they forgot to include chips. I called and they credited my account and apologized profusely.
The quality is always as expected. No surprises.
No, it’s not the best sandwiches in the world, but they’re fast and convenient and I appreciate that when I’m rushed for dinner at work.
I’m a fan of the Beach club and salt and vinegar chips.

I order online from this place, and they always get it right, even when I specify EZ lettuce! The people that deliver to me in under ten minutes are always really really nice!

Wow. I can’t believe the negative reviews. I am a Jimmy John’s fan. I know some places are better than others. This place is great.
They always get my delivery correct, and fast. And they are super friendly.

Terrible service. Was told I couldn’t add cheese to my sandwich after I had ordered… even though I was ready to pay for the addition. Was told to «remember next time». Today around 2:00 pm. I’ll never go back.

I’m giving them five stars because they’re freaky fast. Eric delivered one order of mine (a driveable distance) in like, 2 minutes.
When they’ve forgotten my pickles/​cookies, they’ve delivered them immediately. Highly recommend for delivery. The sandwiches are far from gourmet, but if you watch the mayo, cheese, and avocado you can eat a reasonably priced lunch that is also relatively healthy. Also, purchasing their day old bread is dirt cheap and it makes great homemade croutons!

While it’s true that Jimmy John’s sandwiches don’t deserve the adjective «gourmet», they really are incredibly fast. Every time I’ve visited this location I’ve had a sandwich in my hands within 5 seconds of ordering. That’s unprecedented! The sandwiches aren’t mind-​blowing but they always look and taste pretty fresh, which is more than I can say for Subway or Potbelly’s (frankly, I’ve never understood this city’s obsession with Potbelly’s, it’s truly subpar food). Anyway, for a fast food sandwich joint I consider Jimmy John’s to be one of the better options in the city.
P. S. I’ve ordered delivery from here twice (I was really really craving a sandwich and feeling shamefully lazy). It arrived within 30 minutes, no problems. But really who orders Jimmy John’s delivery?

Yup another one of those, I waited almost an hour for ONE sandwich reviews…
40min for one $^&*@#! sandwich, I think not!
Maybe the Old Town JJ location (near my place of work) has me spoiled. but this was just ridiculous. I’m home for the weekend and this was my first order for delivery at this location. They are typically fast when I go IN and order, and with their slogan and this 91 degree weather I thought hey why don’t I just order delivery.
Just for reference I’m at Hamilton and Lawrence… which is what? 3 or 4 streets over?
I ordered at 1:20 and decided to hang out on the porch so the delivery guy didn’t have to haul up flight of stairs to my apartment. after waiting, and waiting I was JUST about to say screw it, it’s almost 2pm and I’m heading back up to figure out my other lunch options. Sure enough, 1:59 a guy approaches with nothing to say or no reason to share why it took this long. I didn’t ask, just paid, begrudgingly. and headed on my way.
I understand there are other people ordering and whatnot, but c’mon. a sandwich. I’ve ordered from the Old Town location on weekdays while at work, at a prime lunch time several times with a very «freaky» fast under 10min delivery.
Not sure if it is the 40min wait (which I would gladly wait on for a typical chinese or pizza delivery, but NOT a sandwich!) or the fact that I hadn’t eaten anything all day and I was quite famished, but man. should’ve just walked my ass over there.

I do not like the bread they use. It is very chewy. Having said that, I did stop in the other day while I was waiting for mom to finish up at the dentist. I broke down and ordered a sandwich. I regretted it almost immediately when I realized that the drive home would take me right past Nhu Lan, where I could get a truly delicious sandwich for half the price.
The sub sandwich was ok, but like I stated, the bread sucks. The service was indifferent. I doubt I will be back. A few blocks away is sandwich paradise, where the bread is crispy and the ingredients are fresh.

I order from this place about once a week sometimes it seems. And I’ve been ordering from them for about 2 years now.
They are very fast… and treat me very well .like a prime customer.
Once in great while… yes they will forget something. But they never screw up my sandwich. And if you call, they send someone to replace the missing item.
I can appreciate this kind of service — and I order from Costellos and Potbellys as well.
They are all sandwich shops, but sometimes having them recognize you is nice.
AND if you tip well — you might just become one of their favorite customers. lol
I can appreciate someone riding their bike like a madman or woman to deliver me my yummy sandwich in such a short amount of time.

I think their sandwiches are the same as any other Jimmy Johns. I’m not going to review the food, rather the service.
I’ve gone in their many times and the staff is always hanging out at one of the tables goofing off, eating food and just chilling. When they get up to take my order it’s as if they are too cool for school. They operate in slow motion, everything is done as if they are trying to set a record for the longest it can take someone to make a sandwich. They’ve gotten my order wrong multiple times which is annoying, especially because every time it happens they aren’t even close to busy.
So the 1 star is warranted by the fact that I ordered a sandwich from them for delivery today. I live a block and a half from em. I ordered it instead of picking it up because I’m running around packing to catch a flight. So far I’ve been waiting for 60 minutes and still no sandwich. When I called and asked to speak to the manager, he told me the delivery person should be here in the next 10 minutes. When I told him that an hour for a sandwich is a little ridiculous, his response was «well, other people order sandwiches, what do you want me to do». That’s definitely not the way to speak to a customer. I told him that I won’t be ordering any more sandwiches from them anymore.
This place blows.
Update: My order finally came after waiting an 1:10 minutes. I sit down and guess what? It’s missing the cheese that I requested (and payed extra for). Yeh, this place REALLY blows

Pretty basic review for a pretty basic place.

*alfalfa sprouts
