Never even heard of jimmy johns until yesterday, but ate there with my family(11 people) and everything was so amazing. Fresh ingredients, fresh bread. We ordered out but the place itself was clean and a really nice environment to bring your family to.

It’s true that when you order a sub it takes less than 20 secs for it to be made which is pretty amazing. I will say that I have a fond love for the sandwiches because you get a lot for what you pay. I just wish that this place would have some TVs to watch sports. This jimmy johns is usually nice when you come in but I didn’t get a very warm welcome when I came in. I will give it another chance to prove me that I’m valued as a customer.

This location is 1.2 miles away from me. I’ve heard great things about their delivery service. Got on website, created order and then found out they don’t deliver to my street. They do deliver to a street connected to mine. It’s 1.2 miles away!!! Really disappointed. So ordered food from another sandwich place 5 miles away. What a joke. You can respond to my review and I’ll try again otherwise I guess they won’t be my go to sandwich delivery service.

I had to go all the way to Colorado to find this restaurant. I was in Longmont visiting my friend and my friend got subs from Jimmy John’s for lunch. Holy cow! I had #5,an Italian sub, and couldn’t believe it. I grew up in a neighborhood that was full of Italians just 3 generations from the home land. The subs I had were made in mom and pop owned shops. Jimmy Johns #5 were as good as these. I rushed to Jimmy Johns web site and they had shops in Memphis! Tried the Memphis shop today. The bread is good, it actually had some body. They scoop out the crumb from the inside. The meat actually was decent sausage and there was provolone cheese on the sandwich. Provolone, not tasteless mozzarella. Even the lettuce was fresh and crisp. And lastly, the oil and vinegar is seasoned. So give up your bland, pasty subs and go get a real, tasty meal. P. S. Oh, if your watching your carbs, they offer their subs wrapped in a cool, crispy lettuce leaf. I tried it and it’s good.

The workers there did not tell me my food was ready and left me sitting there unknowingly and hungry until my food went cold. When I opened my sub I took a bite and found that they forgot to put mayonnaise on it. My sub was just bread, heaps of lettuce, and a slice of mediocre turkey that I could have found at Kroger. Not wanting to wait any longer than I already had, I brushed it off and continued to eat. However, I lost my appetite when I found a red hair in my sandwich(mine is blonde, so it wasn’t mine), probably from one of the workers who did not have their hair safely put away; their hair wasn’t even pulled back. I left the restaurant hungry and disgusted. The atmosphere did not seem clean either. I definitely was disappointed after hearing so many great things about jimmy johns.

Ordered a sandwich, chips, and a pickle. I received a sandwich and a cup of water. Luckily the driver was nice enough to go back and get me the rest of my order.

I’ve always heard such great things about Jimmy Johns so my bf and I decided to check it out last week and agree with all its praise! They really are SUPER speedy like thy advertise to be. I was in shock how quickly my sub was in my hand after I ordered it, like Lee hadn’t even finished his order when I got mine… Crazy! The bread tasted like it just popped out of the oven and my turkey sandwich was great. Lenny’s is still my favorite, but Jimmy John’s is a close second.

Good sandwiches here. I enjoy the Italian by Night sandwich. Bread is not too hard and everything just melds together with the vinaigrette. Why 3 stars? Because I think the staff is a little unprofessional. I was driving by there one night and was stopped at the light at white station and poplar. What do I see through the window? 2 employees slapping one another with towels, jumping all around behind the counter, and throwing bread at one another. They need to be more cognizant of the fact that a person on the outside can see very well into the shop when the lights are on and it’s dark outside.

Do you love shredded lettuce? I mean really LOVE shredded lettuce? Do you dream about hoagie buns bursting with big, billow-y bushels of the blandness? Then Jimmy John’s is for you. Seriously, though, I thought I ordered a club but instead I got the Lettuce Lover’s sandwich. I think there might have been a slice of turkey or two hidden in that heaping ball of flavorless, easter basket plastic grass. Not good. Not inedible. Quick? Sure. But then, so is buying a sandwich from the Mapco down the street. Doesn’t make it good.

Folks in my office order from here all the time, since it’s right across the street, but they were just off their game today. Thirty minutes to deliver a sandwich is not freaky fast(I mean, did my sandwich spend all that time getting driven around to other stops?), and the delivery guy seemed more concerned with dashing back out to his car for his next stop than with making sure my co-worker got the drink she’d ordered. My lettuce wrap was not exciting — roast beef, tomatoes, and mayo(and possibly more lettuce?) wrapped in wet iceberg. Come on, guys, at least dry off the lettuce so my wrap isn’t dripping water! I was hungry, so I ate it, but it wasn’t worth the $ 5.50 plus tip I paid for it. Next time I need quick bite, I’ll suck it up and leave the office.

Jimmy, you’ve got an eye for sandwiches. You’ve got a catchy commercial. I also enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant. Nothing to complain about other than the employees… uh oh… I enjoy the gargantuan. I get it every time, and always the same way. Simply, «I’ll have the gargantuan(pause for a second to remind myself that I’m not a giant mongoloid for ordering something named the gargantuan) with no onions, and add hot peppers.» Not so complex, and it’s always incredibly fast for a delicious Italian sandwich. Then I unwrapped the wrapper to find onions and no hot peppers. Hey, it happens. No biggie. I’ll just pick the onions off and get the peppers on the side and throw them on there. No harm no foul, I spent like seven bucks.(Side note, my friend’s sandwich was also made incorrectly from the order. They forgot to «Hold the cucumbers.») It’s a fast food joint. They don’t care. I get it. So here’s my conversation with the guy behind the sandwich counter when getting the hot peppers: Travis: «Hey, can I get those hot peppers?» Bro-kid(Let’s assume his name is something like ‘Keith’.) «Awe! Um…*mumble excitedly with a smile!*» Travis: «…What?» Keith: *Goes off to find something. It’s a cup* «We’re not supposed to do this… Travis: «Do what?» Keith: «Look, you seem like a cool guy so I’ll just put some on the side for you… but next time make sure you order them on your sandwich.» *Smug look awaiting gratitude and thanks* Travis: «I’ll spare you my opinion, Keith. Thanks for going out of your way.» Keith: «Swag, YOLO, bro bro, twerk.» That smug attitude… boy that burned me. How about next time your make the damn sandwich how I ordered it?! That being said, I love Jimmy John’s and will certainly be back for my gargantuan… But I’ve always had a much better experience on Germantown Pkwy. Give me some love if you know what I mean when I say, «PICKLE!!!»

The main thing about Jimmy John’s is that it’s fast. I ordered here a couple of times. First time I got a Big John, which is pretty much a roast beef sandwich. The sub itself didn’t have a lot of meat which was a bit surprising, but it was fast. I thought it had a little too much mayo as well. Maybe it’s just me. The second time I got a JJ Gargantuan this time without mayo, and it was fast, and great. I recommend getting the sandwiches with the pickle, which is a large dill pickle cut into fours and goes great with sandwiches.

Not on par with some of the other sub shops in the area. Staff is friendly and helpful but the product itself is not as good as I expected. There is a lot of competition for the lunch sandwich business in Germantown and I’m afraid this one is towards the bottom of the list.

What’s the common denominator of Subway, Lenny’s and Jimmy Johns? The fact that you should never pay these places $ 5 or more for a sandwich, when you can make a better one at home. Save your money, and pull a sandwich together in your comfy kitchen. Today just confirmed my strict religious food belief of never paying for something as simple as a cold sandwich. I tried this location right when it opened, and I wasn’t impressed. That was years ago. I tried it again today(yes, I know, my fault) because I wanted something different than what I usually get for lunch, and being that I only had 15 minutes left on my break, I just pulled up and ordered. I was like«what the heck, I eat chipotle, chick fil a, zaxby’s, etc throughout the week on lunch, let me try this place again… its been years». Oh gawd why did I do that??? ugh! I ordered the #4 — Turkey Sandwich, and the chick made my sandwich in literally 1 minute. Like, by the time I made the transaction with the guy at the register, my sandwich was already on the counter ready for complete annihilation. I mean I saw her making the sandwich when I was ordering, but I thought, ‘that can’t be mine’ because there were two people in front of me. Well, it was mine and the guy told the chick, ‘you are speedy’ — or something like that. I ‘wasn’t impressed’ because my thing is, I wanted to think about other things I wanted on the sandwich, you know how it is at Lenny’s and Subway: they ask you for other ingredients to accessorize your sandwich. Anyway, while I ordered, I told the guy that I didn’t want tomato, and wanted hot peppers; but tomato and hot peppers is what I got on my sandwich. So to the chick that made my sandwich, thanks for speedily ruining the sandwich — listening is a very important skill. I know you probably thought that I would be impressed, but I wasn’t. What, did you pull a ‘returned turkey sub’ from an hour ago out of the pile and add some hot peppers? I said no tomato, because I hate tomato; the hot peppers weren’t hot, they didn’t taste like anything. The menu said it came with sprouts, didn’t see those on the sandwich… and these sandwiches have no cheese?! No cheese on a cold cut? Who does that? Cheese makes everything happy! Don’t waste money on cold sandwiches, if you just have to, go to Lenny’s, at least you get cheese and you can orchestrate the condiments on your sandwich. These other reviewers need to calibrate their taste buds, nothing special about these bland sandwiches.

Before I moved to Memphis, a Jimmy John’s had opened in my hometown, but I never tried it. I happened to stop here one day and one of the very friendly staff recommended the Italian Night Club. The first time I tried this sandwich, my face literally melted because it tasted so awesome. After reconstructive surgery, I am fine and have built up a tolerance for the deliciousness that is Jimmy John’s. I have to admit that I have never tried anything else here because it seems completely unnecessary. I did try the same sandwich on their sliced wheat bread the other day and was quite pleased. The location is great, but the parking can be limited depending on when you stop in. The store is bright and clean and has some pretty funny signs on the walls. I highly recommend Jimmy John’s, but I must warn you: you’ll never be able to eat at another sub chain again after trying their sandwiches.

This is a good sandwich place. Service is fast and friendly. What differentiates Jimmy John’s from other sandwich shops is the quality of ingredients. I watched an employee slicing meat and others freshening the toppings. The sub bread has a perfect chewiness with a little crunch, and my sandwich was excellent. Good menu selection. I’ll be back.

I’ve mentioned my hatred of Jimmy’s before in previous reviews– it’s not that there’s anything particularly wrong with the place I just don’t get the hype behind it. If there’s anything I really dislike, it would be the bread. It’s hard as a rock and the ratio of bread to sandwich items is a way off for me. However, today my husband insisted we stop here and I realized they now have lettuce wraps. This place just got an extra star and is now bearable. The sandwich choices are much more pleasing to my palette without all that crappy bread. Kudos Jimmy’s.
