Jimmy John’s

Always consistently tasty, super fast delivery. Had a problem only once, they put mayo on my sandwich when I requested no mayo. I ordered carry out, but didn’t realize till I got home and opened the sandwich, but they delivered a new sandwich to me for no charge in exchange for the uneaten old one, problem solved.

Every time a get a sub to go it’s quick in and out. This location has provided the good service I’m accustomed to. The bread and veggies are always fresh and crisp.
On an unrelated note, I never knew that a club sandwich does not come with cheese. I recently got the Club Lulu, and when asked if I wanted cheese I went with provolone (a solid, but consistent choice). And then I got surprised on the receipt when the cheese cost was extra. So for all those others that assume cheese is normal, it isn’t. Club Tuna does come with cheese, so really it’s my bad not reading the menu fully.

I ordered a Veggie sub today, and there was no guacamole on it!

Epic fail — JJ’s is one of my favorite weekend and work week lunch spots but the Hyde Park location is just not about customer service. When did it become «corporate» policy to not allow hot peppers on the side?
Seems odd since on Monday downtown there was no issue with this or any «corporate» policy. When asked why the only response was policy. I asked what sense does that make if you’ll put it ON my sandwich for free, why can’t you put it beside it…“corporate” policy. I states they did it Monday downtown to which the response was, they shouldn’t.
Looks like I’ll search for a new weekend lunch spot in Hyde Park. Too bad. I’m sure one person and one review means nothing to them but they’ve lost a loyal customer.

This is my favorite Jimmy Johns in the city. The staff is very friendly and incredibly fast. Sometimes they have my sandwich completed before I’ve even finished paying! Bread and ingredients are always fresh. Always a good experience.

Always empty or near-​empty inside, which is nice but they obviously have customers because they are expeditiously making sandwiches almost constantly. Delivering I imagine, and with free delivery I can see why it’s a popular option.
The baked-​fresh daily french bread really gives Jimmy John’s an edge over other sandwich places, in my opinion anyway.

I love this spot… if you are located in the Hyde park area this definitely should be your go to spot for fresh sandwiches… I recommend the wheat bread it is thick delicious oatmeal style bread and all the sandwich contents are fresh I request the contents that I want and everything is delivered on time and accurate …

This location gave me food poisoning. Worst 24 hours of my life — ordered turkey on wheat. Never again.

At first, I wasn’t going to review this place but I have to. I order delivery from here. And the drinks are ALWAYS ice cold and wrapped in plastic wrap. GENIUS. The tuna sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had. & the chips? DEVINE. Way better than generic SUBWAY.

I cannot help but review this place. I am a big Jimmy Johns fan (yep and nerd) and I have consistently ordered from about 3 different ones. One at an old job and another at my last apt complex. I just moved here and already this one has stood out as the best. They are extremely nice. I swear the food is fresher.
I think it’s so funny when people complain about freaky fast delivery. It’s a cheesy term the company uses and of course should follow but lets be realistic. These kids are on bikes in Chicago. So freaky fast is dialed down slightly to just super fast.
Every delivery person has been so nice. So kudos to this store being the best I’ve experienced in Chicago.

Honestly, I don’t see how this place can be anything other than WOOHOOOOOO! I would like to cater this review to probably the bestest deli sandwich at a chain. Ladies and Gentleman, I introduce you the AMAZING veggie sandwich on wheat!
THIS SANDWICH is AMAZINGLIEVABLE!
You have the seedy wheat bread, the awesome provolone, with advocado between each slice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, mayo (light of course) and bliss! I think I could eat this sandwich everyday, not everyday. EVERY.SINGLE.DAY! It’s amazing!
That’s all! *drops mic*

****Revision… based on previous two orders, this JJs seems to be improving.****
Despite the fact that we love the sandwiches, we have had trouble with our last two orders.
Last time, they forgot the meat on one of the sandwiches. We called to complain, and they said they’d send another one. It took an hour! They said the other driver refused to deliver it because we had already tipped the first driver. (Customer service… what?!)
Then, last night, we ordered around 7. The guy who took the order said it might be 30 minutes since they only had one person doing deliveries. Fine. An hour later, I called. They said the order had left the shop and would be here «soon.» A half an hour later, I decided to make dinner (hungry kid). Ten minutes later (at 8:40!), the order arrived. I refused it.
In general, Jimmy Johns does a great job. But when I call this place, I never have confidence in what might happen. The order-​takers are often inattentive when I say what I want. It’s sometimes too loud in the shop for the order-​taker to hear me. I ALWAYS have to repeat my address and phone number, sometimes several times. (Can’t they use caller ID like other delivery places?)
One other thing: you can’t really pick up from here… There is no place to put your car. So delivery is the only option, and it simply sucks.

Freaky Fast Delivery? Ummm, I think not.
Ordered my sandwich at 5:25, thought I’d grab a bite and head to the gym. It’s now 6:44 and they JUST came to my door. I live exactly 5 minutes away from the shop, an hour and 20 mins? REALLY? Given I could have gone to get it myself, but it’s cold outside and I’m lazy…
The most annoying part is that about an hour into the wait, I made dinner out of stuff I had at home. Super annoying guys.

I usually love Jimmy Johns but this place sucks! They dont put Alfa Alfa sprouts in the sandwich… which is why I even go to Jimmy Johns! They also charge for peppers (which are usually free). All in all horrible service. I once waited on a delivery for 45 minutes!

Jimmy John’s is my go to place for sandwiches. I love knowing I can always count on JJ’s for good food and friendly service. Many of the staff have been at this location for years. I like that — it’s fun to go in and see a familiar face or two. I know when I go in I’ll get a great sub and great service. The fact that JJ’s delivers is a total bonus.

My issue with this Jimmy John’s is quite simple: they say that they have the fastest service and if you are going to make a claim to that, back it up. My thai food up in downtown Chicago comes faster than this place delivers to campus. So, it is normal Jimmy John’s, just moving like molasses. Which, when I get my study cravings, is just not what I am looking for.

Four Stars. Certainly.
The staff here is very friendly. They offered samples of their tuna. It’s much better than the Sub-​chain tuna — It’s packed full of celery and onions very flavorful. The bread was super fresh too and veggies hands down fresh.
I’m a fan. And it is worth the extra buck or two… an eight in is easily two meals if you go with chips and a drink.
PS… Day old bread is 45cents… it’s worth it. They say it’s good for making French Toast. I’ll follow up if I ever try it!

Subway sucks, Jimmy Johns rocks!
This location has definitely improved over the past few years, and when they «Freaky Fast, Freaky Good» they mean it!
It was not even 10 minutes from placing my order online that this adorable helmet clad Asian dude rings the buzzer. I must say I was shocked! I am so used to this location taking forever, but change is good!!!
When I am at my dad’s I will definitely keep supporting Jimmy Johns… after all a Slim 6 is MUCH healthier than spending $ 30+ at other fooderies… and at the fee of the sandwich too!
Jimmy Johns beats out everyone else in Hyde Park on delivery time, an oh so wonderful surprise after my 2 hour wait for the nearest Sarpino’s (find my review for them it’s ever so lovely).

It’s Jimmy John’s; you know what to expect. Simple sandwiches that end up tastier than a glance at the ingredients would suggest, bizarrely wonderful bread, great kettle chips and pickles, and fast service. If you want some dolled-​up toasted sub on herbed bread bullshit stick to Quizno’s, but Jimmy understands that less is often more, and sticks to nailing down the basics.
Protip: get the Bootlegger, Italian Night Club, or Gargantuan, skip the mayo, and instead ask for heavy Dijon and hot peppers. Their hot peppers are very unique and are superb. Only real problem with this location is that their onions can often be overly bitter and harsh, overpowering rather than complimenting.

Terrible.
Poor quality. Terrible taste. Poorly put together sandwiches. Crappy service.
There is nothing good about this Jimmy John’s.
