Freaky Fast! No, seriously. They are ridiculously fast. In the store and by delivery. I freakin' love them. Sure my office is right around the corner, but I swear they run. My sandwich arrives in less than 10 minutes every time I order delivery and is ready in less than a minute when I go in and order for pick up. They forgot my hot peppers once and they were Speedy freakin' Gonzales with the replacement peppers delivered to my office. Yes. I think I'll keep them. read more

Haven't had JJ's in years and this was close and easy. Cashier mumbled and what I did hear was they were out of mayo. Kinda weird but ok. As soon as my order was placed first thing it asked for was a tip. For what? Jimmy don't pay them an hourly rate? No receipt with order number. Finally figured out which was mine. Handed a sandwich and I grabbed a few napkins from over the counter. The guy who handed me the sandwich says "oh ya". Like wow! You are asking for tips and can't even complete the easiest of tasks? Started eating the sandwich and the bread was extremely dry and hard. Won't be back. But if this is your sandwich place maybe avoid this one read more

Ordered subs from here via the app for a quick weeknight dinner. Honestly I'm impressed, my order was accurate and ready to go right on time - even with the customizations. I needed a bag for everything and the worker even offered me a small box that made it easy to transport everything. read more

Customer service horrible and our orders were wrong and the cashier was rude and the tables weren't clean and when we ask her for bottle water she gave us cup and told ask to get from the fountain when there's bottle water in the menu read more

Really BAD service. We went here for lunch my boyfriend ordered the slim 6 WITH turkey and I ordered the slim 4 with roast beef the girl (Diana) ringing us up didn't tell us the slims were only meat and cheese with no toppings and instead she went ahead and rung us up for some other sandwich on the menu which was about 2$ more... We then got our sandwiches and my boyfriends had no turkey and was rung as a veggie when he went to ask they said he "ordered it wrong" and if he wanted them to make him a new sandwich he had to pay 2$ extra for the turkey. Thanks Diana :) read more

Jimmy John's - My receipt they took my boyfriends away when he brought it back up. Clearly not for a slim 6. - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The service at this Jimmy John's is even worse than the service at any other Jimmy John's, and that's saying quite a bit. There was nobody in line at the restaurant when I arrived yesterday 3/26/2024 at about 11am. Nevertheless, the cashier ignored me and only seems to have time for the orders on the app. I finally asked him if he would prefer for me to place my order (for a Turkey Tom) thru the app, and he told me the app was better. read more

This is my favorite Jimmy John's location and I'll go out of the way to get the service here! Awesome gal working the cashier and making the subs; she recommended the Italian with peppers (which aren't that spicy) and had my rewards account pulled up so I got free chips (salt and vinegar baby). Plus they're freaky fast read more

Jimmy John's - Italian on wheat - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Wow, glad I'm not a fan of giving out tips at the register before I even know how my sandwich turns out. #9 unwhich with everything plus peppers was ordered. I received a unwhich completely plain - blah. No condiments or spices of any kind. No peppers either. Will not be going back! read more

Jimmy John's - a sandwich with meat and lettuce - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The service was very slow during my first visit. During my second visit, I got my sandwich* in about 30 seconds, but the order was incorrect. I would've gladly waited an extra 30 seconds to have had the sandwich made correctly. *it was a standard menu item, nothing complicated about it read more

I like jimmy johns, i would to see a little tweek on their "Italian Night Club" sandwich, it now comes with mayo and vinegar and oil, these dont mix well with an Italian sandwich, i would like to see the mayo taken away, i believe it will make the sandwich speak more Italian to everyone. read more

Nice people working but very skimpy on the ingredients. My sandwich was literally just bread. I wish I took a picture but I was just too hungry and ate it. Still, when I closed my sandwich all you could see was one tomato. I had to open it fully to see the skimpy portion of lettuce and Turkey meat. The mayo was almost non-existent. I pray this was a one time thing. read more

A chain in Chicago, this place offers cheap and quick sandwiches. The normal sandwiches feature hollowed out bread which means less carbs for the health concious. A good alternative to Subway. read more

Jimmy John's - #5 Italian - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This review is specifically for this JJ's, not JJ's as a whole. Came here after the Decemberists concert in Millenium Park got out to score some cheap/quick grub. I got a Turkey, no mayo, with avocado (who gets avocado on turkey? me). The (extra) avocado was $1 extra, but I was up to the challenge. While the service was fast, I was surprised when I opened my sandwich to find a very sparse amount of guacamole on my sandwich. I demanded retribution. Where was this delicious avocado I had forked over 1/6 the price of this sandwich for? I told them that I ordered extra avocado. I was promptly told by what must have been the manager, sporting a Che Guevara shirt, that I had received it. This slight smattering of guac was supposed to be a few slices of avocado. He told me that if I wanted more it would be a whole dollar extra. When I told him that I thought that was ridiculous, he gave me a short lecture on portioning. I just think its ridiculous that if someone calls you out on your bullshit chain store portion policy, you just shrug and give them a little more of whatever topping they want. You don't defend it like a good little capitalist lackey while wearing a Cuban revolutionary's shirt. In all, had these people been much older than me or whatever, I probably would have written it off. But since they were my age and they were being such dicks about it (I've worked at a restaurant before), it rubbed me the wrong way. Plus, the "hall pass" for the bathroom is really lame, even though I understand downtown places have problems with vagrants. But give me a break, having to ask for a hall pass to pee reminds me a little too much of middle school. read more

Every time I go to a Jimmy John's, I'm reminded of how much I dislike these places. The roast beef doesn't taste like roast beef. The tomatoes don't taste like tomatoes. The bread tastes like air, not fresh baked bread. All this can be had for only $7. I implore you to go instead to a place like Fontano's a couple of blocks away, and compare it to Jimmy John's. The food tastes 10X better and it's somehow cheaper too. Both of those stars are for the friendly staff and clean restaurant. If this place weren't attached to the building I work in, I'd never, ever go in. read more

I've been to this location quite a few times and always get the #12 Beach club (tuna, avocado, sprouts, provolone, etc). The last time the jipped me on the avocado so this time I specifically asked them to make sure they put enough on there. Well, the cashier had an attitude and asked if I wanted to pay extra. I said no, I just want a decent amount. I get back to work - there's no avocado on 2/3 of the sandwich so I call the manager. He proceeds to tell me that "due to the economy I should understand the limited amount of avocado". I let him know that "due to the economy" my $6.57 sandwich should include everything I paid for. Is he kidding?? Needless to say, my days with Jimmy John's are through... at least until the economy picks up and allows them to fix my sandwich properly. **Edited: The manager told me to come back in and my next sandwich is on him, but I let them know that I'll pass on it. I told them "If the economy is too rough for avocado, I'm sure you can't afford to give away a sandwich." read more

Yes it's a chain but here's the thing...whenever I go here I know exactly what to expect and am never disappointed. My sandwich always tastes the way it's suppose the get my order right every time (number 1 with no tomato). Also I can add chips and a drink and still fork over less than $10.00. That's pretty stellar for lunch in the loop. Also the service here is fast...I wouldn't say freaky fast...but fast nonetheless. I can walk out of my office and arrive back at my desk with sandwich in tow in less than 10 minutes. But really what else can you say that so many others haven't already. Nothing really just thought I'd throw my 2 cents out there. read more

Haha, I just got props from one of the "sandwich artists" (oh wait, i think that's a Subway term) at Jimmy John's for the custom sandwich I always get. It's the vegetarian sub + salami. This time I got it with both the salami and the capicola (they come together), oil & oregano, sans cheese. I love the sprouts, cucumber and avocado spread that the vegetarian sub comes with but I need more flavor! So, add the meat and you have the perfect sandwich. Also, they have an unsweetened ice tea option in the fountain and that's hard to find. read more

No turkey on my turkey tom. Doesnt get more negligent than that. And now Im on my way to class with a cheese and mayo sandwich. Gross. read more

Jimmy John's - turkey tom please. sprouts please. coming right up sans turkey and sprouts. thanks for the mayo cheese sandwich! - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I fucken luv Jimmy John's. I don't know... I think it's the Hellman's Mayo. This is my favorite catering spot for sandwiches. Mostly b/c of my personal mayo preferences. But also b/c they are super easy, super on time, and super predictable. and not expensive. read more

NO STARS... This Jimmy John's in particular is a filthy MESS. Lets start with the Lettuce Wrap that was delivered to my office...the lettuce leafs were coated in a fine grain sandy substance. Just to make sure that I was not losing my mind, I asked my assistant to touch the lettuce...she said YUK!!! So I call the manager Ryan and he promply tells me that "he has to make 18 lettuce wraps and yours is the ONLY ONE with a problem!!!" as he yelled that another would be delivered to my office...AND SLAMS THE PHONE ON ME! So, I call back again and tell him that I am not comfortable eating a wrap considering he was being so foul and rude, just refund my money. Nope he screamed "WE DONT GIVE REFUNDS!! I TOLD YOU I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE YOUR WRAP!!!!" and hung up on me again. So I walk the wrap to him personally AT THE SHOP and he commences to acting a fool. Guess he did'nt have his meds.... Sad, but I love Jimmy Johns sandwiches, however my business will never patronize this location again (we spend hundreds monthly on Box Lunches for meetings). I did make sure to report them to the department to health...ever heard of E-Coli??? read more

Like Ellie B, JJ's is right around the corner from where I work. The round trip never takes more than 5 minutes. The ham sandwich hits the spot every time. And it's cheap! read more

Years ago when Jimmy John's first arrived in Chicago, I had one of the worst sandwiches ever. It was like biting into a rock. I enever ate there again, until recently. I tried this Jimmy John's and I thought it was one of the best sub sandwiches I had in a long time. Fresh bread, plenty of meat and shredded lettuce and the perfect amount of italian dressing to go with my italian sub. I just finished eating one myself. The service is quick and that's a good thing because some times the line can be out the door, literally. Be ready to pay up front, they take cash, credit and debit. And go with the lunch special. It comes with a drink and chips for just uder 8 bucks. read more

Jimmy Johns is one of my favorites and the state street one is usually my go to lunch spot. I've noticed some of the workers in there are very reluctant to take your order and I'm often found walking up to the counter with no one there. Their door into the building is also very poor... it doesn't shut completely and it's very difficult for people with bags in their hand or sandwiches in their hand, to open the door in or out. I do appreciate how they usually say "have a good day" when I leave but I wish I got paid attention to more when I arrive. Today, I also got this GROSS looking conglomeration in my bag of "Jimmy Chips" (jalapeño flavor). The bag was not expired, but can you explain WHY or HOW or WHAT this monstrosity is? I don't blame the people working at the restaurant but I think Jimmy should know, if more of this asteroids are in his other bags of chips, then customers will not be happy. Also, sadly their sandwiches often "lose" their meat and toppings when you bite into them. I still love how they taste but I wish there was some way for the people making it to actually push the meat and topics further into the bread so it doesn't fall out all at once. I am now weary of adding the Jimmy Chips to my order.... read more

Jimmy John's - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I took a break from the conference early this afternoon to forage for food. Not overly interested by the options right by the Palmer House -- either steakhouses, burgers, or your basic chain restaurants -- I took a long walk around the block to see what else I might find. After crossing Madison, I looked back across the street and saw a Jimmy John's. Jimmy John's! So I turned right around, crossed the street again, and made my way to one of my favorite regional franchises. I tend to be anti-franchise, but I've loved Jimmy John's since 1991 -- they've been in business since 1983 -- and eat there every chance I get. I also tend to order the same thing every time, too: The vegetarian sub, #6. It's the perfect sandwich. This time, I got a bag of salt and vinegar chips and a small cherry Coke to go along with it, and I scarfed it all down in no time flat. Thank you, Jimmy John's. I could eat this every day, and I was thrilled to find one by chance today. read more

Insert generic Jimmy John's review here. Really, what is there to say for this place? I need to pad my Review bin if I want to keep my elite status so I'm trying to come up with something but drawing a blank. Really fast? Great Service? Good Sandwich? Yes! But then again, all Jimmy Johns are like this. Its a great business model. End Review/ read more

Two blocks from my office. Had my sammich in about 60 seconds. Everything is fresh and crisp. If I had to literally live on bread alone for the rest of my life, it would have to be Jimmy John's fesh bread. 'Nough said. read more

I'm a college kid, who needs a meal on-the-go which this place was great, until I had food poisoning. Not so great after all. I've been to other Jimmy John's restaurants as well, I also received food poisoning except in the northern side of Chicago. I am not satisfied with this event occur to me, TWICE! Jimmy John, make sure your food is well done before releasing it to your customers. read more

Nothing exciting, nothing offensive: that's Jimmy John's! This one has nothing terrible going on, other than you order at the front of the restaurant in front of the door, so if there's a line it's annoying because you're in everyone's way. Otherwise, no gripes. read more

Great service and even better sandwiches - I like how they're freshly made and you can see what they're doing - I like their unwiches best and their #9 - the Italian Night Club is simply delish! (Unwich is basically a sandwich wrapped in lettuce and is perfect if you're on a low carb diet) And their pickles are HUGE, too (in the most non-perverse way possible) read more

See all

I don't like that I live and work near 2 Jimmy John's locations because it's hard not to stop by often for a quick bite to eat. I like coming to this one though. This location has a friendly bunch of people working there. I swear you feel like Norm from "Cheers" as you soon as you walk in (okay, maybe not quite like Norm since they don't know me by name). With all the "hi's" or "Hey's," etc. coming from all directions, they make you feel welcome. A good lunch option if you're in the area, but be ready to take your food to go....seating is almost impossible! read more

Dear Jimmy Johns, While your sandwichs are yummy, you won my heart over with your customer service. I often work long hours and can't find the time to go out and grab lunch. That is where you come in. The fact that you consistently deliver my order within 10-15 minutes of its submission amazes me. Even though the price may be higher than what I can get from local competitors, their customer service doesn't compare to you. read more

Okay, I am a deli SNOB... I usually don't like franchised places like Subway, Quizno's, etc. for my sandwich needs (and I have a lot of sandwich needs... mmmm, sandwiches...) but I LOVE this place. I can't remember the last time I've had a better ham sandwich. The ham is just so tasty, and they give you exactly the right amount. When I went back to California for a weekend, I had a huge craving for Jimmy John's, but we don't have them there. So I ordered a ham sandwich from another restaurant and it really just was not the same. The ONLY reason to give this place 4 stars (make that a 4.5) is that it gets really crowded at lunchtime and there isn't a whole lot of room to sit... but that's not unusual in the Loop. read more

Great, friendly service and yummy sandwiches. That's all I want, and I want it fast. Thank you:)

Oh Jimmy John's, how I love you. While everyone is busy in love with celebrities like Zac Efron and Justin Timberlake, I am in love with Jimmy John. Everytime I walk into Jimmy John's, I order the Turkey Tom with no sprouts. Some people like alfalfa sprouts, but I do not recommend it because most people do not like it. However, the sprouts are good for you. I even buy the loaves of bread to go home and make my own version of the Jimmy John's sandwich because the sandwiches are quite expensive if I buy them everyday. Aaaaahhhh, I love Jimmy John. read more

It's a quiet location and they have a lot of seats available compared to some of the other loop locations

This review encompasses the entire franchise of Jimmy John's. Besides the smell of their bread, I don't taste at all what is the big deal with this place. Their menu selections look like they're trying so hard to be unique but to me just look like some creative overkill. "Let's put alfalfa sprouts with tuna! That'll get the the hippies and the working stiffs!" Hasn't everyone gotten over the TGI Friday's "lets sodomize your eye sockets with random crap on the walls" thing yet? Granted they do have the signs custom made with their brand of snark, but it still looks like a gas station supply store. read more

This place rocks. Great management. Great sandwiches. Great service. Everyone is greeted when they come in and everyone is thanked when they leave. The sandwiches are ALWAYS just the same, unlike some other sub shops.... which I won't mention by name. BUT I'd rather pay a couple bucks more and get a great sandwich EVERY time rather than a good sandwich every now and then and a mediocre sandwich most of the time for "5 bucks". =) Thanks Jimmy Johns. It's called Consistency. read more

I came to this Jimmy Johns ONLY because Chipotle wasn't opening for another 30 minutes and this was right next door. It was a typical Jimmy John's visit, but unlike other JJ locations, they didn't have a menu on the wall where it was actually eye level with you. Their menus are above their cash register. I didn't have my glasses on and it was INCREDIBLY hard to read the menu. My fault, I know BUT other JJs have paper menus for their customer's but this one didn't. They made my sandwich quick, I ate it and left. It tasted just as great as other places I've gotten it. read more

Really sick of this location. What's the point of the option of customizing your sandwich if you won't follow the instructions? I always specify that I want extra tomatoes, as I like to actually taste tomato in each bite, however, they almost never give them to me. It sucks that they feel like I don't deserve those few extra tomatoes. Also, delivery has not been like the motto the last few times we ordered from them - super slow, like 25 minutes slow. In turn, we will not order from this location anymore. read more

So much better than Subway. Friendly, and you end up with a decent sandwich super fast. Appears they don't skimp on the good stuff at all like Subway does either read more
