11.9.25 Speedy service and soft bread--but light on the meat. We ordered two subs--the Pepe and the Vito--and they were prepped at record speed. The sandwiches were mostly shredded lettuce with minimal deli meat, which was a bit disappointing. I forgot to ask for oil and vinegar (a free topping!), so I'll definitely add that next time. My husband couldn't stop raving about the French bread--he says it's one of the softest of all the sub shops. While Jersey Mike's is still our favorite, we really appreciate the convenience of this location, the lightning-fast prep, and the lower prices. We're planning to join their rewards program and make this a regular spot. read more

The service at most Jimmy John's I've visited is usually super fast. I ordered the toasted Roast beef with cheese and I have to admit this was a very good sandwich. Jimmy John's bread is typically quite taste but it's so much better toasted. I do recommend any sub you can get toasted do so especially the ones from the toasted menu. All and all a very clean store and tasty subs. Overall 4 out of 5 read more

Wouldn't recommend this location as wasn't impressed by what's supposed to be the customer service. This is a reminder for me to pick another location. Weird undercurrents and ignoring of customers standing in line. read more

The staff was nice and friendly, but the food was just bad. My sandwich tasted off and didn't seem fresh at all. Bread was soggy, and the overall quality wasn't what I expected from Jimmy John's. Really disappointed because the service was good, but the food just wasn't. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch the food was fresh and the pickles are amazing. The gentleman behind the counter made our sandwiches very good. The ambiance it's a sub shop so it has a sub shop feel. I'd stop in again! read more

Really is fresh and fast. Firehouse takes as long for one sandwich as JJs takes for a dozen.

I would give no stars if I could! Please read the other reviews. I cake in for a tuna unwhich and veggie unwhich; they left off the avocado spread. I went back for a refund, the manager Ana charged me before providing a refund. It has been over a week no return call from Steve or Maxwell. No refund provided, yet i have been over charged and supposedly nobody can do anything. These scammers dont have to worry about my business again. read more

Got up at 4 AM to get to work today. A friend came over the watch the Kentucky Derby and was craving an Italian Cold Cut sub but neither one of us was wanting to go out (especially me). Jimmy John's saved dinner! Their online ordering system is pretty intuitive which was great because I didn't feel like trying to call in an order. The email confirmation came immediately after I placed the order. The time from placing the order to the delivery person at my door: 19 minutes. Sorry, no pictures of what we ordered. We dug in too fast for that. But it was good. I love their sub rolls. Soft, but no so soft that there is no 'bite' to them, just a little crunch!. read more

Lunch delivery is REALLY slow. Definitely not freaky fast. Otherwise, if you know their food, then you won't be disappointed. They've never messed my order up. read more

I wish they offered hot sandwiches - guess it is just not in their business model. My location is incredibly fast and incredibly disengaged from the customer. I would rather have fast than friendly - you? This job would be great if it wasn't for the f***ing customers:) read more

The sub was crisp and loaded and absolutely delicious. Tasted fresh and was able to order in line and was able to customize my condiments. Extra tomatoes and no Mayo. AND it was perfect. My side was bbq chips and they were one of the best I have had but were their private brand so can only get them there but no problem I will be back read more

It's a chain, you know the drill. I came in during lunch and let me tell you this place runs like a well oiled machine! I swear people were in and out within minutes after placing their orders. Can't say that the sandwiches are suupper special, I mean I have had better, but for what it is, it's perfectly okay for the price and what you are getting. The staff were cool, efficient but willing to slow it down if you needed assistance. This JJ's delivers which is pretty neat, too bad I don't live anywhere near the delivery area.... Le sigh. I'm trying a new sandwich next time. read more

Good subs and fast service. Their motto is subs so fast you'll freak! I must say they live up to the claims at this location. I order from here time to time when the weather is bad and I don't feel like going out. They always deliver fast and the subs taste pretty good. They are the same as any other jimmy johns. read more

My partner and I stopped here for a quick lunch on Saturday. We both ordered an Italian Club Unwhich. They made my partner's perfectly, however mine was made incorrectly two times. The staff was apologetic and gave us a few free sandwich cards which was appreciated. read more

They lie about their prices. They steal money from their customers. I wouldn't go here with cash.

Michael was rude. In such a hurry. No customer service skills. As a business owner myself I would never walk away from an in person customer to answer the phone. No excuse me. Nothing. I would have left but was dining in with a friend. read more

This place has the FASTEST delivery I have ever experienced in my LIFE. Now, I know that it's easy to make a sandwich when everything is already available. HOWEVER, the same goes for Chinese food and sometimes it takes forever for my food to come even when it's not busy. As for Jimmy Johns, they have NEVER failed to come later than 30 minutes. Never. Their average times of delivering to me is 20 minutes. Sometimes they would come in 10 minutes, no joke. Yeah it's pretty close to where I am when I order but still, it's been consistent. The food is always on point. The outstanding texture of the bread and it's toughness to hold everything together for a long period of time before slowly succumbing to the juices of whatever sub you get. I usually get the Club Lulu which comes with turkey, bacon, and avocado? Or guacamole? Or neither?! Fresh ingredients, great bread, it beats Subway by miles. You can also get subs there without the bread but instead a lettuce wrap! Kinda like the In N Out protein burgers. Mmmm. :) Definitely a fan! read more

The service is quick. I like that the food is ready by the time I get my change from the register. I wouldn't say its even friendly, just quick - which is more than enough for a fast casual restaurant. Despite the quickness of delivery, the food isn't some stale dish that's been sitting around; it's pretty fresh. I've only had the roast beef here. It's meaty and really flavorful. The sub bread that it comes with pairs perfectly with the meat. The bread itself is surprisingly tasty. It's not as hard as a baguette (won't scrape your mouth), but chewy and substantial. The items offered are simple, but tasty. The restaurant itself is clean. read more

3 stars for the food 1 star for the service. I got no hello, no smile, no thank you, no interaction whatsoever. The girl taking my order made no secret that she couldn't wait to get done with the tedium of serving me so she could get back to the more important business of sitting in a booth talking to her coworker friend. There were seven, yes I counted, seven employees working at Jimmy Johns that day and not one. Of them exuded a modicum of "I want to be here." Perhaps they were bored? Yes they were busy but I think they could have gotten by with four. I have certainly seen Potbelly do so and they make milkshakes as well as sandwiches. The girl behind the counter was so unwelcoming I actually wamted to say to her, "cheer up. At least you have a job." And I am NOT the type of person to have that sort of interaction with anyone. I am, however, the sort of person who will call up Jimmy Johns corporate headquarters and let them know that the customer service at their columbia, MD location did not meet my expectations. And that is my plan for Monday morning. The sandwich by the wy was fine. The meats (turkey and cheese) were passable and better than average chain sub quality. The roll was crusty and delicious. Its just the mojo at JJ that was off. read more

1) Very rude staff! I couldn't even finish my sandwich order before the girl cut me off trying to up-sell me a coke, chips, or cookie. Then I got snapped at when I tried to order the other sandwich because her computer froze. Then they hand me a sub half way through ordering my 2nd sandwich, then take it away again while I'm still speaking... talk about stressful distracted ordering! And not one friendly smile was cracked the whole time. 2) I asked for avocado spread on my sub. She charged me for cheese but said it would be avocado anyway, it's the same price but her computer glitched. Fine with me, I understand. Except they gave me cheese and no avocado. They fixed it but then left out the sprouts, which I didn't discover until I got home. I know their motto is fast, but I'd rather wait a few minutes extra if it means getting the correct food and dealing with friendly people. If I didn't know how other Jimmy John's were in other areas, I'd probably never go back to one ever again (the subs aren't that amazing anyway). read more

(4.5) Jimmy Johns is pretty strong as far as fast, casual sandwich places go. I love the speed at which you get your order, the staff are always very friendly, and the bread is super fresh. I decided to write an updae because my previous 3 star review didnt quite do JJ justice. My favorite sub here is the "Bootlegger Club", which is turkey, rare roast beef, and provelone. It is super tasty, and won't totally kill you health wise if you eschew the cheese. They have also added a "light" chip to their chip assortment. It is not a baked chip, but it has about 1/2 the fat of their standard kettle chips, but maintain alot of the taste. Good food, good management, reasonable prices. Loses 1/2 star for seating (you have to really be aggressive to snab a table). They do a nice job on catering as well. read more

We go to Subway every two weeks on our way up to Baltimore and frankly, I get REALLY tired of it. So this time I was looking for something different. I found Bon Fresco, but alas, they are closed on Sundays. Drat! Jimmy John's sounded like the next best thing, so away we went. All the reviews about the speed of service are absolutely correct. However, I watched what was happening behind the counter and quickly learned the reason they are so speedy is that they have three or four guys doing an assembly line with the sandwiches and everything is pre-packed in paper, so they just slap it on the bread and move to the next guy. I'm sure that saves time during the sandwich making process, but it takes a lot of preparation time and it's a major waste of paper. I did note that when one guy walked away to do something elsewhere, he removed his glove, threw it away and put on a new one when he returned. Huge thumbs up there - I am constantly amazed how many food workers put gloves on to make food, but then take money, wipe their faces, clean counters, etc., with the same gloves on. Yuck! Anyway, our food was prepared very quickly and we were excited to try this new place. We got the reduced fat chips after a quick glance told us they were 130 calories and 5 grams of fat, not bad. We were very disappointed to learn later, when we actually ate our lunch, that there are 2 servings in that small bag, so we were duped into eating 260 calories of chips, which we simply would not have purchased had they not been sneaky like that. I hate that kind of thing. Too bad, as the chips were very yummy and exactly the kind I love, all crunchy, and folded over for extra crunchy goodness. Sigh... So - later that day when we ate our lunch we compared notes and both felt that the sandwiches were passably good, but nothing special. A little bland, perhaps. The meats were bordering on flavorless and there was little about any of it to call memorable. Mine had avocado spread, which I couldn't taste at all, though I did relish the alfalfa sprouts, which were delightful. That was actually the best part of the sandwich, in my opinion. Which is kinda sad... The bread is fairly tasty, but nothing mind-blowing. For those who are interested in this kind of thing, Jimmy John's does have a fantastic nutritional info website - it's set up beautifully. You can choose the meal you want, add or subtract ingredients and get it exactly as you would order it, and it gives you all the info you need to make an informed decision about your nutritional intake. Unfortunately, their diligence and disclosure has also been their downfall as far as we are concerned. The sodium in their bread is sky high, and although they do offer sandwiches made with lettuce rather than bread - good job there! - the sodium content is still sky high. And frankly the taste is just not there - there's no reason to deal with all that sodium for all the calories and sodium. Their sandwiches range from 400-900 calories, with most of them around the 700-800 mark. That's just too high for my taste. And the sodium is off the charts. And for a bland-ish sandwich that was okay, but nothing special it's not really worth it. They get three stars from me because I know I am being very critical and if I had just walked in, sat down and eaten without thinking about the content, I would have though, eh, it's all right. I would have gone back, but not been in a hurry about it. I would have ordered a little differently and been specific about what I wanted and seen if the flavor improved, given them a chance to show me a better taste. So I am rating on that - but I wanted to provide the other information because to me, at least, it's important. I can't be the only one. If it's not to you - hey, go have a sandwich. They're not bad. read more

They have good sandwiches, they have bad sandwiches. The turkey Tom was a good one, and the bread they use is fantastic. At least 20 different subs to choose from and they are made by the time you get to the register, kinda scary, and you would think they were not carefully made or not much in them, but they are gtg. Not as good as the first one I went to in Denver, but still a nice lunch spot. Glad to see them popping up around Baltimore. read more

Jimmy John's Alert!! I just noticed that a Jimmy John's is coming in to the Hilton hotel building downtown right next to Camden Yards. Game on!! read more

Second trip to Jimmy John's, a very memorable tuna sub the first trip and the best try at an Italian cold cut in Columbia I have found yet. Speedy service and a good value, Jimmy John's will make you forget Subway exists. I really enjoy the chips, nice and crunchy. The other reviewer who commented they were too hard needs to start brushing with sensodyne. read more

If you ask most... I am a Subway fan til' I die. But that's because there is no Jimmy Johns near my home in Glen Burnie. I discovered Jimmy Johns like 4 years ago while working in Columbia. I literally fell in love with Jimmy and John... or Jimmy John or John Jimmy ! I now work in Silver Spring and I frequently stop in Columbia for a sub for dinner!! The bread is far superior over Subway ( except the flat bread) and Quizno's( bleck, yuck) This is a in out place, not like PB or ABC!! If you don't know what get... step to the side and go over the menu. Because there are lots to choose from. I love the fact that they have sprouts!! Call and order for delivery your food is there with in 15 minutes...not sure if I ever had to wait longer, while I was working in Columbia. Now i will say this.. the lay is confusing... the drink lids, straws and napkins aren't with the soda machine. ... they are where you pic you sandwhich up, they are really bad at telling you your sandwhich comes out on the other side. LOL But whatever, I love JJ's read more

Not sure what the hype is here.... Sorry the sandwich was not that good or even decent looking. Staff here was about as knowledgeable as a baby during first period algebraic. Whats strange is I really felt uncomfortable like I was being rushed to the back (if you get my drift) to get my drink and leave. The menu was like scrabble for meats and pickles. However the fountain soda was awesome, they should invest in changing this location to a soda pop joint. read more

Simple, Fresh, Friendlier than Subway and Cheap! You just crossed all your T's and dotted all your... lower case J's (sorry for the bad Austin Powers reference) when it comes to a good lunch spot for me! I first went into a Jimmy Johns in South Bend, Indiana and called to inquire about franchise opportunities in Maryland and Virginia only to be informed I was tooooo late! Some lucky couple had beaten me to the punch! Well kudos to you you because this place is a gem in this day and age! read more

The food is good for the price. The staff all said hello as I came in. My cold cut was ready in a minute, seriously. They have no hot drinks and the doors guarantee you are cold or hot as the weather dictates. read more

I know today was their $1 sub day, but at 4:25 pm I just watched them throw out a big box of sub rolls. Had to be at least 40-60 rolls!!! You all should be ashamed of yourselves Jimmy John. Run a special and then whatever is left over goes in the trash. I just wish I took a picture so the waste could be documented. I am quite sure a lot of places do the same, but you didn't have to do that right out in the open for the public to see. read more

Again, couple of orders, items left off. Rude and uncaring delivery drivers, time to wait the extra time and move on to PotBellies. Only reason is the quick delivery, but if they are getting it wrong? WHY BOTHER! read more

Jimmy John's is my favorite sub place. Reason being is that they have the best French bread. It is what separates them from the competition. Potbelly, firehouse, Jersey mikes, subway, quiznos...not even close. Get the #9 Italian Night Club with cucumbers on french bread -- awesome. Jimmy's chips are good too and if you get chips and a drink you usually get a combo price. There is plenty of meat, but sometimes they overload it with lettuce and too much mayo, but you can specify what you want when you order. This JJ's is probably the quickest one I've been to. Shame I live just outside of their delivery radius. read more

Ordered from this place tonight for the first time after seeing that it delivers to me. Their commercials don't lie - they are incredibly fast. Exactly 10 minutes after I placed my order the guy was at my door! The sandwich itself was pretty good. Roast beef seemed fresh, condiments were tasty, and the bread was definitely better than the other chain sub/sandwich places I've tried. I wish the menu had a few more options, but they probably keep it simple so they can keep it fast. I'll definitely order from them again. read more

Close to the best subs around town. Subway is like McDonalds to me, CRAP. Quiznos is a step up. and Jimmy johns is fast as lightning and is the best! read more

Ordered a sandwich here after my wife came out of Cavo. I was not impressed with my sandwich. It felt like I was eating a sandwich from home. Prices are way to high for the price that they charge you. Service is fast, but sandwiches are not the best. My sandwich reminded me the old sandwich shop Blimpies. A for speed and customer service, but far as the sandwich goes I will give it a low C. read more

Ehhh.... So this place is quick, but probably cause everytime Im there they have 20 people in the back and like no one in the line. ] Overall they are OK. I dont know if it's that I prefer hot subs more then cold, BUT if I am looking for something quick... I might go back to JJ again read more

Pretty typical Jimmy Johns. Nothing special. I did notice that the place isnt very clean though. The tables were sticky and there was litter all over the floor. Something about Jimmy Johns is that they are super fast at making your sub, but with that comes a sacrifice in quality. The majority of their meats are not fresh cut. They are all cut in the morning and wrapped up. read more

This is my most favorite place to eat. We eat here every sunday after the gym!! We still miss the sprouts terribley. read more

Only tried an 8" Turkey Sub, but other reviewers are correct in that the food is prepared at lightning speed . . . With that said, the French bread the sub was on was delicious. Kicks Subways ass in my opinion. Fillings were fresh and tasty. Enjoyed the Alfalfa sprouts to add an interesting bitter dimension, as well as some hot peppers for some sizzle too. Can't wait to try some of their other offerings as the Turkey Sub was totally satisfying and way better than Subway crap. Who knew. read more

I live in the 21045 zip code and they won't deliver here. I'm 6 minutes away according to Google. Where DO they deliver if they won't deliver to a place that close? I love Jimmy John's but the lack of delivery range is not cool. read more
