Jimmy John’s

HEAVEN IS A NUMBER 9. Wow, what a sandwich and it is reasonable. This place BLOWS Jersey Mikes away. The people that work at Jimmy John’s are very, very nice.

Jimmy johns has always been close to my heart because they are awesome and freaky fast! I’ve been to this location before and have always had fast, friendly service. It’s always busy, especially with the lunch crowd during the week. A line 10+ deep will only take about 5 minutes tops to go through the line, order and be on your way. Keep in mind this is a on-​the-​go location so don’t expect to sit down. They do not have tables.
I’ve also ordered from this location when I worked 5 minutes outside of uptown and the delivery men were awesome. They ride their bikes like speed Demons through uptown and I swear they would beat any car delivery any day.
The turkey Tom and beach club are always winners in my book and I love their kettle cooked chips. Yum!

Jimmy John’s is freaky fast, but NOT this location! I wish I could give less than 1 star.
Not only did it take my order 45 minutes to arrive from a location less than a mile from the store during non-​peak lunch time, but it was incorrect! When I called to inquire about the delivery the response was «we can cancel your order if you wish?» I was also told that the delivery person was «on the way», so I decided to wait. About 10 minutes later the food had still not arrived, I called to cancel my order and while I was on the phone the food arrived, I was rudely told that I could cancel but I would have to give the food back.
The sandwich was soggy and incorrect. They even forgot my cookie!
The worst location in Charlotte far and away.

The beach club and Italian night club are the best! Very affordable and open late at night. They even deliver and the staff are always friendly.

Legitimately «FREAKY FAST». If you are uptown, you can call and your sandwich WILL be delivered in 15 minutes. I usually order the Country Club sandwich, as it comes with a healthy portion of meat. On my last visit, I tried the BLT, which turned out to be a poor decision. The bacon was overwhelmed by the lettuce and tomato.
Whatever you get, do it on wheat bread. The wheat bread is regular sandwich bread, (not sub) has small nuts (I just giggled a little) in it, and is a better bread and probably more healthy than the white bread.

Stopped here while traveling. the «gourmet sandwiches» in the name of the establishment is false advertising at best. I got a BLT. How do you eff up a BLT? cold microwave bacon and cold doughy bread. Even my dog wasn’t interested and he eats cat turds. Another thing to note, and this could be unrelated but after eating here I had to sit in a car for hours near death from the most vile farts you can imagine… courtesy of my lover and Jimmy johns Italian sub. at least that’s my speculation.

Love JJ“s BUT NOT THIS LOCATION. Don’t eat here! We got really sick/​food poisoning the last time we ordered (about a month ago). Mayo on a sandwich, in a backpack delivered an hr and a half later screams diarrhea!
This place used to be good and fast in 2012 but not anymore. If I could give half a star I would. «Freaky fast delivery…» My ass! A typical order takes over an hour to be delivered three blocks. When it arrives its clearly old and soggy depending on the ingredients you have on your sandwich. Mayo on a sandwich in a backpack delivered an hr and a half later, on a hot day screams diarrhea! Bike drivers have no apologies and offer the explanation that they are «short staffed» and «when it’s raining we take longer, so keep that in mind when ordering».
There’s a rude crackhead worker answering the phone, with a unprofessional «what’s u want» attitude. Even when u go into the store its dingy and dark, unlike other locations. No seating, take out or delivery only. Take my advice please eat anywhere else, ur stomach will thank you!

Another fabulously quick delivery. Ordered #4 & #5 and as always they hit the spot. While you can find great sub’s made to order at other places, I like the taste of their rolls. Did I say they have über-​quick delivery? Freaky fast!

Best subs in Charlotte… good bread. CHEAP! And speedy polite service :) I am always pleased. :p
Only business in America that doesn’t have a minimum delivery fee too!!!

Standard Jimmy johns. Only they seem not to want to deliver straws with those orders even when you ask. Good luck.

This JJ’s defines my lunch during the workweek; quick, cheap, to-​go, online ordering. This location deserves the extra star for staying open on the weekends — something the rest of uptown needs to follow.
The staff here doesn’t change too often, so it is nice that they remember the regulars. Be prepared for a line out the door during the week lunch rush. Like other uptown lunch spots, they are prepared for the rush and know how to pump out sandwiches rapidly.
I usually go with the #1 Pepe with bacon. Plenty of customization options available when ordering online.
Bike delivery available for uptown. The delivery people know the city and buildings well, always impressed how quick they show up.

Damm
Place looks good, but my order has hair in it, I know it can be worse. but it was very disappointing to find a long strand of hair inside my sandwich. The waitress was apologetic and the manager Dnt even apologize, he just return my money back, he is very rude.
i felt really gross out afterwards. Very bad experience.

Jimmy John’s radio commercials are super corny, but they always make me giggle.
This location is super convenient for those who work uptown. Not so much, though, if you have to drive here during the day.
The roomies and I popped in here this week to grab some sandwiches. Holy line out the door and down the sidewalk. And holy wow this place is teeny tiny. Lunch crowd line moves super quick, though. I always get my usual: the Italian Night Club. I can’t ever remember what it’s called… so I usually call it the Italian Nigh Job. Pretty sure that’s something wayyyy different. No matter what you call it… add the hot peppers to it.
Doing a pool day at the Avenue, Trademark or Catalyst? They deliver. You’re welcome in advance. Need a place to get your grub on with your JJ’s sammie? Walk on over to Romare Bearden.

I’m going to give this JJ a 3 star just because of their efficiency and ability for me to get a sandwich in a decent amount of time so I can thoroughly enjoy my full lunch hour.
Tucked into the building on 3^rd St… this location can be hard to spot. It is also tight inside, just grab your sandwich and go to wherever you are going to eat it — back to the office or what-​have-​you. I decided to stroll over to RB Park to take advantage of the day and get some vitamin D.
Since this location is so small, you will always feel like you are in the way for the minute or so you are waiting for your sandwich to be created.
Cashier’s are friendly, but make sure you know what you want in advance, there is barely enough room inside to fumble around and wait behind a guy looking at the menu!

Being my first visit to this location I was a little overwhelmed. Jimmy John’s is a grab and go sandwich shop, no tables, and just space to stand in the line. The line was out the door, and for good reason. The service is quick and the sandwiches are good. My friend ordered the Italian and I ordered the Country Club. Before I even reached the drink counter my # was called. I do wish I knew the system, line, how you receive your order (by the # sandwich you ordered), a little better, and do wish there was more space, but the sandwich was great.
The Country Club came with turkey, ham, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Bread was fresh, almost warm, and the meats and sides were good.
I look forward to getting back, especially on a day I need something quick, and good.

They are fast! They also have a #14 Bootlegger Unwich that is just the ticket for low-​carb eating!!!

I have typically have had good experiences with Jimmy John’s but the uptown location is not a good representation of my past experiences.
I ordered subs this weekend, it was 1:45, not a peek time, shouldn’t have taken too long…45 minutes later I got my delivery. I realized that the unwich I ordered, that I love so much, was on regular bread (not lettuce wrapped). I called to see if they could remedy the situation, considering I was looking at the receipt, which clearly said unwich, the manager told me that she would send out another one, but I would need to send back the one they messed up… I kindly reminded her that I was about to die of starvation considering it was 2:30 and I had already waited for 45 minutes, she told me that wasn’t her problem.
No big deal, the sandwich was mediocre and I will never order from uptown Jimmy John’s again, lesson learned.

The food is simple and fresh but don’t receive a wrong order. We ordered a fair amount of sandwiches for our office today and had horrible customer service. Each sandwich had something small added which was marked as a NO on the online ordering system. No big deal we can pick off… However, when we called to have a sandwich remade due to the person wanting complete plain and the fact jimmy johns added the works to it, the manager was nothing but nasty. He preceeded to say he would remake the sandwich but we should know it is our fault (excuse me?). Due to the manager’s horrible ability to please a customer he has now lost this company’s business… Bottom line: you better eat what comes because if it’s wrong you are an idiot and to blame.
Needless to say we declined his hateful offer to make a new one … Spit isn’t what I ordered.

I have had Jimmy John’s a couple of times, and it’s surprisingly decent. The sub options are good and easy to customize.
The bread looks like it would taste bad (or just be average), but it is actually one of the highlights of Jimmy John’s.
The Unwich (lettuce wrap) is also very good if the lettuce is fresh (batting .500 in this dept.).
Overall, good food and fast service.

When I first told my friend I was going to review this place, he sort of scoffed at me and said «What, you’re going to review Jimmy John’s? That’s like reviewing McDonalds.» … Except, I can promise that the food is 10x better. Plus, cut me some slack – there aren’t any Jimmy John’s in the west coast. My experience with Jimmy Johns was a box lunch that included an Italian sandwich, barbecue-​flavored chips, a dill pickle, and a oatmeal raisin cookie.
1. Sandwich: The bread was my favorite part – and I normally hate un-​toasted bread. The italian comes stuffed (as in I had trouble squeezing in my potato chips) with various thinly-​cut deli meats.
2. Barbecue Chips: These Jimmy John chips almost deserve 4 stars on their own. (Actually if you’ve been reading my past few reviews, I’ve had a strange bbq-​flavor theme going on). Crispy, flavorful, unhealthy. They’re awesome. Just get them. I wouldn’t eat my sandwich any other way.
3. Pickle: Not interesting.
4. Cookie: Dessert is the best way to finish a meal and although this cookie could have been chewier, I liked that it wasn’t overly sweet.
I can’t quite review the location since I did get it on the go. However, I really enjoyed the sandwich with chips and the prices are pretty cheap for a full lunch. P. s. I tried the roast beef and I much prefer the italian.
