Jimmy John’s

Its a jimmy John’s alright. Blandtastic food but its incredibly fast and only 5 – 7 bucks a sandwich. The staff was very nice and friendly. The young man at the counter was very pleasant but did the worst impersonation of a scare crow that ive ever seen.
Kid if you read this dont quit your current job to persue acting… ever!

Tried their Totally Tuna sandwich and it was one of the best tuna sandwiches I’ve ever had — loaaaaddsss of tuna and vegetables. Although the bread was a little hard and a little cold, but the tuna made it awesome.

Smells awful, water taste like ass and awful customer service. I don’t think the employees ever even said 1 word to us.

Keep putting out the sandwiches we all know and love and you’ll keep getting 5-​stars.

Ridiculously fast delivery!
I work about 10 blocks away from this Jimmy John’s location. They are consistently super-​fast! I just received a sandwich in only 8 minutes. There was another time when I received it in only 5 minutes AND it was still 10 minutes before they technically opened! I don’t even know how that’s possible…
Their sandwiches are a bit limited on options, but that’s just how the chain is. There are still some good choices though, and I like to customize my sandwich a little too. I would recommend the #9 Italian Night Club Sandwich on the sub bread. It’s my favorite! Just tell them to go easy on the mayo… ;-)

The fact that this place boasts 2 stars is not a surprise to me. I remembered why I don’t frequent this place. Paying over $ 5 to get a sandwich that’s dry as sand is bad enough, but to mention being made to feel like an idiot when I ask for salt n pepper (of which u will find none in the store). After walking a few blocks back to see what we can do about the lack of taste in this sandwich and suggesting mayonnaise I was given packets to dress it on my own. The worst thing about this is that I spent more than 30 minutes on this problem & over $ 5 to eat a block of sawdust when just across the street Big Town Hero offers a whole, entire combo including chips and soda for $ 5. The BEST thing about this is that I never have to make this mistake again.

Horrible SERVICE! ONLY 8 WORKERS standing around goofing off. …very unwelcoming even for a sandwich..

Jimmy John’s is decent for fast food. It is truly fast for once. The food is nothing noteworthy, but this is a national chain. The location downtown next to the Portland Transit Mall helps commuters.
I walked in after doing a bit of waiting for a bus. Someone was right at the register and I quickly ordered the Pepe sandwich. Combined with a soda for about $ 7, they quickly brought it out. That made it easy to catch the bus.
Then, I ate the sandwich. It was okay and the processed nature of it did not feel too apparent like with other chains. It was cold meat with a neat spread while on warm bread. If you have more time, I would suggest going to a nearby food cart for philly cheesesteaks in Pioneer Square.
For fast food, Jimmy John’s is good. For life, it varies.

My five year old REALLY had to pee and we stopped in and asked very nicely to use the bathroom. Smug cashier told us customers only. I explained, it was just for my 5-​year old, he really needed to go, and please. Still refused and seemed to take some pleasure in it. Is this really the kind of business we need in Portland?

Most unfriendly establishment I’ve been to in a while. Won’t give you a side of mustard, won’t put the sandwich in a bag for you.

I love JJs from back home in the Midwest. The food at Jimmy John’s makes you crave it in its own weird way. The people at this location are nice, and the food taste same as any other JJs. My only qualm, is that at any other location I consistently get my sandwich right as I finish paying — living up to their «subs so fast you’ll freak» tag line. THIS IS THE SLOWEST Jimmy John’s that I have ever been to. The speed at which the sandwiches made is like Subway or Quiznos. Boo

Let be begin by saying I’ve eaten the sandwiches several times without ever actually going into the restaurant. I work in the office building accross the street, and Jimmy John’s brings free samples over occasionally to try to drum up business (which is a great idea, by the way).
These sandwiches are little packages of sadness. It’s worse than that even. These sandwiches are an allegory for everything that is disappointing in life and the existential ennui that attends it.
When you were a kid maybe you wanted to be an astronaut, or movie star, or a professional basketball player, or a ballerina. And to your child mind these things seemed like perfectly attainable careers. But then you grew up to meet harsh reality, and maybe you lacked the talent, or the schooling, or the finances. Or maybe you had family or social obligations. And instead of your dream job maybe you ended up being a borning accountant, or an insurance claims adjuster, or a salesman, or a janitor, or some poor sap who constructs sub sandwiches at Jimmy John’s. That’s not what you expected from life, and it’s horribly, crushingly disappointing. These little Jimmy John’s sub samples are the embodiment of that disappointment.
Or maybe you met a wonderful woman or man and fell in love and got married. And you expected to live happily ever after, doing thoughtful little things for one another, lazing in bed together on Sunday mornings, maybe raising some kids or traveling the world, or whatever. And then something sours. Maybe neither of you knows why. You grow apart. Occasionally you fight. You can’t believe this person you loved so dearly is such a stranger to you now. You divorce, and it’s a bitter pill for you to swallow. You only get to see your kids every other week. Ouch. You decide to make a stone of your heart so no one can hurt you that badly ever again. And in so doing you realize that you’ll never have that giddy, innocent sense of falling madly in love ever again. It’s a huge disappointment to you. You weren’t expecting this from life. Well these tiny Jimmy John’s sandwich samples are exactly like that bitter regret in sandwich form.
Let me leave you with a description of these Jimmy John’s Sandwich samples:
Segment of soft baugette. It’s not crip or crunchy. It’s spongy flour ennui.
In that segment of bread they slather some mayo, add some shredded iceberg lettuce, a few slices of tomato, and a little cold cut of ham or turkey. The filling to bread ratio is, well, disappointing. Some cheese would be nice, but its not there. It’s mostly white bread. And before I can finish eating I am on the verge of despair.

I’m not a fan of jimmy John’s because they make it hard to customize your sandwich but I went here anyways because it was the only place open. I should have read the other reviews first. While it was clean and the food was fine (nothing special), the staff were some of the most discourteous people I’ve ever met. When I asked for no tomatoes on my sandwich I was rudely told sandwiches weren’t customizable. Then I dared ask if they had cheddar cheese instead and the lady snapped «No!» slammed my sandwich closed (smooshing it) and threw it in a bag. Next time I’ll take my butanes elsewhere. Might I recommend pizza schmitza next door?

What terrible customer service! For how expensive their sandwiches are, I expect at least a little bit of politeness.
I just ordered a sandwich with chips and a drink (after being told it would be $ 0.20 off the bill if I got them together). The cashier apparently didn’t hear my order properly, and just rang me up for the sandwich and chips (which I didn’t notice because the bill for just those two items was more than it costs me to get a meal deal elsewhere).
When he realized his error, the cashier then proceeded to ring me up for the drink separately. I asked for the $ 0.20, and was told by the sandwich maker standing next to him, «Ma’am, it’s just $ 0.20,» in a condescending tone. There was literally nobody behind me. They could have voided out the previous order, and rerung it, or just given me $ 0.20 out of the till. Or even, shocker, just given me the drink for free and apologized for the error (like Subway or Big Town Hero would have done).
But no. They decided to belittle me for asking for the $ 0.20 that they told me I’d get off the bill if I ordered everything together. And then not give it to me. Great job guys. That $ 0.20 may not seem like much to you, but it just cost you a customer. Nice work.

Bad sandwitch… Its like paying for bread… Ok i take that back. Its like paying for bread and mayo sandwitch. They dont even ask if i want anything extra in my sandwitch, just cut the bread, mayo mayo mayo, lettuce n a thin slice of meat. Its so little that you cant even taste the meat. It was my first time try at JJ’s. Wont go there again. Its not tye location its the sandwitch it’s self. The food cart place gives more meat than that and its 5 $. Changing it to three stars, they justdo t ask if you need ajything extra on the samdwitch just in a hurry to mame it

Subs so fast you’ll freak.
F’reals.
Decent sandwiches for a fair price.
I usually end up here when I can’t decide what I want for lunch, and I just need to fill my stomach so I don’t get hangry. I’m currently stuck on the Club LuLu. But they have a bunch of good stuff to try.
