9 Reviews for Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich
I love love love Jimmy John's. My favorite sandwich is the #9 without onions. I've had other sandwiches there, and they're ok. I just always order the same thing. Fast, friendly, delicious.
This particular location is... interesting. When we ate there recently they were playing really loud death metal music. I enjoy hard core music, but it seemed a little... out of place for a sandwich shop.

They aren't kidding about the "fast" bit...I'm pretty sure they know what I want before I do.
I've frequented most of the Jimmy John's locations around town, but this one is closest to my house so there you go. It's quirky. Sometimes we are outnumbered by the staff, which is nice because it's not crowded with customers. Just crowded with...staff...um... Anyway! The music can be too loud, which it always is at all the locations. Which is kind of annoying. (Hey JJ people! Turn the noise down just a smidge!)
But the sandwiches are wonderful. The ingredients aren't really all that special, but they're fresh and tasty and come in nicely proportioned amounts. And - I looooove their bread. I don't know why. (And this coming from someone who makes all their own bread so, y'know, take that for what you will.) I always buy some of their day old bread when I get a sandwich and have a wannabe sandwich at home the next day. It's never quite as good as what the JJ folks can do, but it's still damn tasty.
I work at Birds Barbershop and I'm pretty sure we keep this Jimmy John's location in business. I think at least one of the stylists order a sandwich from here EVERY DAY!! That's not an exaggeration.
But to the point: I love this place. They get us our food FAST and it's always right. After a few months of not ordering the Totally Tuna I finally asked if they could make it without onion and was relieved to find that they can do that. Totally. Yum. I've eaten it 2 days in a row now. Gonna try my best not to order it tomorrow, but if another stylist asks I know I won't deny Jimmy John's. How could I?
XOXOXO

It's too fast. After 10 seconds I said I want "big John", my sandwich is ready already. Even I haven't paid the cashier yet. It's too too too fast.
I wish they can slow down a little bit. I wasn't in hurry. I would rather to choose what type of vegetables I want. But it seems they don't have customization option.
It tastes good with the sauce they added.

Great bread, service and pickles. Good meat and mustard.
This place is great if you like a pickle with your sandwich instead of chips.
The last 3 times I have been there the whole pickle served to me was almost the same size as my regular sized sandwich.
The staff has been great every time I have been in, fast and friendly.
And like another said, they have your sandwich to you before you even can fill your drink.

When people spoke of Jimmy John's I thoguht they were joking. "It's so fast!" Well they were right, the sandwhichs are prepared fast, well not fast like people claimed they were. So onto the food, I was prepared to leave a respectable review for Jimmy John's after eating there until I saw the full name of the place. I'm sorry but there is nothing gourmet about jimmy john's. They make a nice average sandwich and they make it fast, nothing more.

Meh. That's all i can say, really.
The sandwiches are quick, and that's great, but it seems like you are eating so much bread and not much meat. Makes you want to ask "Where's the Beef/Turkey/Pork/scary processed meat product?" Also, the roll was too hard and seemed to scrape the skin off the roof of my mouth. The ingredients were fresh and what little meat i could taste, it was good.
I gave this two stars simply because the staff was extremely friendly here. Very nice, all said hello - none of that stoner "dude, do i have to make you a sandwich? I was taking hits from my bong in the back" attitude that Thundercloud has. That was a welcome change, but i will be going back to the ol' TC for my sammich eating. Sorry.

Here's the problem with sub sandwich joints. You look at the menu, and see "turkey sub". It has a list of ingredients. Then you go to the counter, and they ask you about every ingredient. You could say you wanted a turkey sub, and end up with a meatball wrap.
At Jimmy John's, you can point ay the menu, grunt, and they'll hand your sandwich to you probably before you have time to fill up your drink cup. Perfect.
Is the sandwich good? It's a sandwich. Bread, meat, sandwich stuff. Nothing to write home about, but given the convenience, it ends up being pretty satisfying.

I really, really like Jimmy John's. The white bread/french bread/roll-thingie is what does it, I think. I've only ever had the roast beef sandwich (what can I say, I'm a creature of habit), and it is my favorite roast beef sandwich in town. If only there were a location more convenient to my work or home...it's strange that I'll drive 15-20 minutes..just for a sandwich.
