Jimmy John’s

I wanted to privately message the business but it hasn’t been claimed. I went in on 3÷17÷16 and ordered my regular and the young lady at the register turned away to cough twice. Having worked in food service myself my next step would have been to excuse myself to wash my hands but she continued to take the order. While she wasn’t preparing my order, when she turned she turned into the general kitchen area and did touch the change to give me from the register. The order was fresh and tasty as always but little things like this make a difference. I probably should have said something to her but I didn’t want to embarrass her since there were several people there during the lunch hour. I’ll give the benefit of the doubt here but hope it doesn’t happen again.

Can I give ZERO stars? I live close to this location and was running errands. I figured I’d grab a quick sandwich and use the restroom.
I went to the bathroom first because there was a bit of a line. Glad I did that. What I saw in the restroom was like something out of a bad horror flick. There were BUGS ALL OVER THE FLOOR! I almost puked it was so bad. I quickly finished my business, washed my hands and ran out the door.

It’s hard to screw up a sandwich with Lightning fast delivery when the bread is harder then rocks! Holy S**t! Almost took a tooth out. I am not one to whine just giving you a heads up to ask for a fresher bread

Sandwich great the veto customer no so much once my sandwiches were done hes like here with no bag… excuse me can i get a bag sir… he says get it yourself? Im sorry i told him are you serious? He goes yes…

Food was fine, but the service was slow here. It took about 10 minutes to get my order. I’m a fan of Jimmy Johns in general, but this location was disappointing.

For my short lunch break from my soul-​crushing job I decided to go to good olé jjs. I ordered my favorite sandwich. Sat down and opened up my book and prepared myself for 30 minutes of rejuvenation. That’s when it became apparent that the speaker system was EXTREMELY broken. The music sounded like it was being played on an over heating laptop. The tempo would slow down and speed up and the singers voice sounded like it was coming through a fan; it was so horrible and made me anxious and unable to enjoy my lunch. I went up to the sandwich maker and asked him if he could turn it off, he shrugged and pointed at the cashier, so I went up to the front (not busy at this point) and asked her nicely to turn it off. Her response? «We cannot turn the music off.» Are you freaking kidding me? You are UNABLE to turn off a horrible sound? Silence is really that frightening? Honestly it was cruel and unusual torture to be in there.

I am so annoyed that I am doing breathing exercises to relax. The jimmy johns that would usually deliver to me is temporarily closed for construction. So I called one that is just as close. And they claim they can’t deliver to me. Blah blah blah. I’m just going to post a picture to clarify my frustration.

I dont know why this location is always empty because they do a great job. Fast service like always and they actually keep the bathrooms unlocked.

It’s Jimmy John’s, a fast food sandwich spot. For fast sandwiches that are semi-​healthy, they are great! Not just a soggy subway sandwich. It’s a fun casual atmosphere with witty signage on the walls and best of all it reminds me of UofI! Turkey Tom w sprouts, Tuna and Vito’s are my favs!

I mean… it’s Jimmy John’s, so what can you expect? They’re insanely fast, but as a trade-​off you get a pretty paltry selection of ingredients. The bread is great — if only I could buy some then bring it elsewhere for them to use in a sandwich. (Edit: Apparently you can just get the bread? Tempting.) Vegetarians especially get the short end of the stick as the veg sandwiches have little in the way of distinctive flavors (standard styrofoamy tomatoes don’t help). Fine in a pinch.

I work across the street so I go there on occasion. the few times I’ve eaten there with co-​workers, they play their music loud enough to make conversation tough.
What really got me to write this review is the prices. I don’t know if this is happening all over, but $ 5.50 for their normal subs and (i think) $ 6.50 for their giant subs is pretty pricey. I don’t know if this is a downtown thing, but for $ 6.09 after tax without chips or a drink, I’d rather be down the street at haifa with a delicious huge turkey sandwich.
By the way, the sandwiches are still delicious, and ridiculously fast, just not quite the value it use to be.
Oh, and the sprouts thing. I like sprouts, I wish they figured that out and continued to carry them!

I walked in and the temp in the restaurant was 81! Ridiculously warm when it’s in the 60’s outside. Due to the temp in the building my sandwich was warm and hopefully it’s what affected the taste because something was off. I will be avoiding this Jimmy John’s like the plague which is hard for me to do since it’s my favorite sandwich chain

This JJ ruined my leap day. (kiddingly overly dramatic)
1.The music is very loud, as other reviewers have said. I couldn’t have a conversation with my friend without raising my voice.
2. I ordered the beach club. they ran out of sprouts and didn’t say a word! The sprouts are important to that sandwich! I would’ve changed my order to the roast beef had I had known. I discovered this a few bites in, and went back to get sprouts and they said they ran out. boo!
3. The sandwich also comes with their avocado spread. There was hardly any on the sandwich and I couldn’t taste it, and their unique taste of the spread is also important to the sandwich.
Previously when I was there, I asked for easy mayo and they put extra mayo. It was a gross and gloppy mess of white lard.
They suck. I will never go to that JJ again and will walk the extra block for the one on Jackson.

We moved offices a few months ago and just today tried this location on Clinton as it is most convenient to the new digs. This is the worst location that I have ever been to. Generally speaking I have experienced little or no problems at any location except during high volume times (around noon). The place was essentially dead (me and 2 other cutomers). The music was incredibly loud which made for a bad experience to the gentleman in front of me. He ordered 2 sanwiches exactly the same which included peppers but held the tomato. He received only 1 sandwich and it came with tomato but did not include peppers. The gal behind the register noted that it is $ 0.58 for peppers and that he did not order it that way. She was so rude about it and rolled her eyes to the next customer. Who does that? What a snot!
It took almost 10 minutes (10 uncomfortable minutes) for my sandwich which by their standards is a long time even in the rush periods.
My sanchwich also has less tuna than normal and they use standard tomatoes rather than their usual Roma tomatoes. Disappointing.

Convenient location, good sandwiches. They play the music super loud, though, so I opt to eat my food elsewhere.

5 stars for slapping my sandwich together in lightning speed when I only have 20 minutes between classes to get and wolf down a sandwich
1 star for having only 1 cheese choice
I don’t like provolone cheese, there I’ve said it. It’s biggest offense is that it tastes like nothing. It’s a total waste of fat and calories to me. Adding it to a sandwich increases the fat content by 10 grams (pause for a gasp in horror). Sadly, this boring, bland, fat cheese is the only variety JJ’s carries. Since the line at Subway is always ridiculously long I’m forced to go to this inferior alternative with some frequency. JJ’s has plenty of meat and condiment options — so why so stingy with the cheese choices?
My other 2 complaints are as follows:
(1) What’s the deal with the bags and napkins? I’m all for saving the environment, but do you expect your customers to wipe their mouths with the back of their hand? The bags and napkins are hidden in the prep area, you feel like you’ll get scolded grabbing them, kind of like snaking a cookie from the cookie jar.
(2) Not healthy, JJ’s is not only inferior, but unhealthy. As a vegetarian who eats fish (I know technically not a vegetarian) my choices are limited. Today I opted for the tuna (my other dining choice the cheese sub, chock full of my favorite cheese), stupidly I always add a slice of provolone to it, desperately hoping this time it will add some iota of flavor to my sub (so far zippo). When I googled the nutritional content it was 29 grams of fat! (for tuna, lettuce, tomato, provolone and bread) To me that’s insane, what do they mix the tuna with lard?
In JJ’s defense I will say the following: the store always looks clean and I’ve gotten prompt, pleasant service.
Bottom line: I’m better off with a plate of fries or a candy bar for lunch — more taste, less fat (I think)

It’s your standard Jimmy John’s, which I like as a break from my normal Potbelly. But they charge you an extra $ 1 for wheat bread and I think that’s totally nuts. What are they going to start charging me more the more healthy I make my sandwich — an extra $ 2 for no meat, $ 0.50 to remove the mayo… sandwich is free if they squeeze 3 donuts on top?
