Came here for a small meal for lunch. This place is a busy little corner store. There's at least 10 people working here at once, lines are pretty long as well as processing the online order list. Bathrooms are clean too. Staff was really great about reminding me about some of the rewards I had that I haven't used yet. Overall, besides the longer than usual wait times. I recommend this place. read more

I've had Jimmy John's a few times before all the locations in Buffalo closed up and I was never really a fan of them. I was on a very long drive from Buffalo, NY to Las Vegas, NV and was making a pit stop to see what's Des Moines was all about when we needed some fuel for our stomaches and since not much was open, we settled on getting some sandwiches from Jimmy John's. This locating was pretty large, super duper fast with getting us the food (I'm talking we ordered and had two sandwiches in less then 5 minutes), and was friendly as well. I ended up ordering an 8" with turkey, bacon, lettuce, and mayo and I enjoyed it way more then I thought I was going too. It was made well, it tasted great, and I probably should of ordered the 16"! Overall, I had a great experience at this Des Moines Jimmy John's. Good, quick food at a reasonable price and you get a thumbs up from this guy! read more

I placed an order at 11:22AM. My order was received at 11:23 by the store. I called the store at 12:25 (an hour later) and he told me he didn't see my order- so that meant it was out for delivery. I questioned this as I was watching the tracker and it didn't show it was out for delivery. He said there was alot of deliveries and to be patient. I kept the tracker up and at 12:58- my order showed out for delivery. At 2:13 PM I called the store and told them exactly what happened and asked him to refund as I dont want food that has been sitting in a delivery car for over an hour. He was able To pull up my order without me giving him my order # and just my first name- he said he found my order and would refund it within 24-48 hours. There was not a sorry for the inconvenience of you paying for your food and waiting for almost 3 hours for food that still never showed up. Needless to say- i will never order from the Locust street Jimmy Johns in Des Moines again! read more

Jimmy John's - the order on its way - Sandwiches Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Jimmy John's, for the first time, wows me with their "Freaky Fast" mantra. Sandwich made, neatly wrapped, and on the counter in front of me before the cashier can finish the transaction. This was this location's first day open. Let's see if they can maintain their exemplary freakiness. PS, The sandwich was, as usual, fantastic. read more

Jimmy John's - Corner of Locust and 13th Street. - Sandwiches Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Delivery is TRASH at this location. Waited an hour 1/2 for a sandwich and I'm a block away. They should make you aware of how long it will take when ordering. I called to tell them to cancel the order because I know hungry and don't have anymore time to wait. The girl on the phone says "all good" no apology or anything. If you value your time don't order from here because I promise you THEY DONT! Still hungry and now no time to eat. GREAT JOB GUYS read more

I can't speak to the location/building, but what I can say is that after enduring chemo for over a year, this Jimmy Johns store has saved my sanity and stomach more times than I can count. I spent over 120 days of 2023 in Methodist hospital's chemo floor and this location has never taken longer than 20 minutes to deliver my food to the front desk for me, has never messed up my order, and was always extremely polite and communicative. While most won't believe this next story, it's true, and my mother and grandmother were both there to witness. The first time I decided the hospital food was too bland and I needed something else, I ordered JJ's from this location. Before I had even informed the people in the room that someone would need to go down and get it for me since I wasn't allowed to leave, I was already getting a call saying it was downstairs. literally less than 5 minutes since I had ordered it. Because Of this initial experience, they became my go-to comfort food in the hospital, and even while not being able to work, I would order up to 3 times in a week just because it had flavor and would take less time to get than ordering food from the hospital cafeteria. read more

I love Jimmy John's. It serves some of the best cold subs around. Prices for a slim are $3.79 if you don't like vegetables and regular subs are $4.79 for 8". This place has amazing flavor, qualits, and speed of service. Good stuff! read more

Jimmy John's - Menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

third time I have attempted to enter this restaurant and it's closed. who closes a sandwich shop at 1 pm??? the staff seem to randomly open when they want close when they want. i ordered sandwhices and came directly over , ( I live 2- minutes walking) and the store was closed. I never got my sandwiches OR my money back. today I walk in at 12:51 pm and the door is blocked with a potato chips rack closed and she's in their counting the money in the drawer. owner? your team sucks. Jimmy John's on Locust is officially on my shit list. read more

Of all the Jimmy John's in town, I would say this is one of my favorites. They really do live up to the standard of "freaky fast" at this location. And every time I have been here I have been greeted with friendly smiles the second I walk in the door. Plus, the location of this one is perfect. It's downtown but not in the center of all the chaos. Usually parking in this area isn't too hard to find, depending on the time of day. And if you have never been to any Jimmy John's...you need to go! Their subs have some of the best bread, meats, and fresh veggies. You can also get the usual chips and a cookie to go with your meal. (And might I say- the cookies are delish!) The environment is fun with loud music and fun, quirky signs all over the shops. You are in and out fast which is great for a quick lunch run. Or, if you don't have time, they deliver! read more

Ordered 13 sammies, got there, nobody offered to help me out the door with 13 large soft drinks and 2 boxes of food. Must be a young person thing, to not even offer help to my car when we obviously needed it. Food good, service could use some instructions on how we do things in Iowa. read more

I stop in here when I forget my lunch or just am craving a good sandwich! Especially the beach club!! They are super freaky fast here which is a plus since I usually come on my lunch break. It really helps there is a passage in through the back way into Nationwide! Employees rejoice! Staff is always super nice! And the sandwiches and ingredients are fresh and delicious! Overall great flavor, service, speed, and quality keeps me coming back here!! read more

It should not take 45 minutes to an hour to make two simple Frenchie sandwiches. I just got back in town from vacation and was getting sandwiches for myself and my daughter and this is what I was told at the East Locust Jimmy John's that only had one (1) worker. She literally said it would take her 45 minutes to an hour. Unacceptable for a deli like restaurant. read more

My neighborhood Jimmy John's, I appreciate you. Not only do you make a ridiculously good sandwich in a ridiculously short amount of time, but your restaurant is always very clean and welcoming. My favorite part about you is that you don't stuff as much lettuce as you possibly can into a sandwich like other Jimmy John's. My only knock is your delivery time. I've ordered delivery here a couple times and each time took about 45 minutes and it wasn't during peak-hours. Granted, I was too lazy to walk the 3 blocks to get my sandwich on those days. read more

Gave you me star because had to in order to comment. Ordered 2 subs last week got on time but tasted off old lettuce or something. Ordered an unwich today do my wife and it was not fit to eat. Cucumber or tomatoes or met was spoiled. Gave the 2 try's and it sucked both times. read more

This location is awesome!!! So friendly and EXTREMELY fast!!!!! They literally had my order here in 10 minutes. Thank you Jimmy Johns!!

Nothing freaky fast here. 7 minutes from paying to sandwich in hand. The long line is fine, but should move much faster than that. It is the rate that counts, regardless of the volume. read more

These two workers started yelling and swearing. It was very unnecessary and unappreciated. Fired them!

Big John is my favorite. I don't know what they put in their bread. It's delicious. The lettuce wrap and slim sandwiches are good too.

This Jimmy Johns still does a good job handling the lunch rush, and considering they are in the ground floor of Nationwide, they get a rush. Faster than other Jimmy Johns I've been to. read more

Fast service but sloppy. Came in during the early afternoon. The store was empty, ordered a 13 on wheat the girl started making it right away, didn't use the mayo scoop to measure out the mayo, just scooped it up with the spatula. The mayo ended up on the sides of the sandwich and was super greasy! Asked for extra tomato, had to remind her of it as she didn't do it. A slightly below average JJ. read more

Order was correct time of deliver was about 20 minutes O_O and the delivery person great customer service will order again great job Jimmy J's read more

I work downtown and Jimmy Johns seems to be the only delivery restaurant. One I can sort of afford anyways. Today I ordered my usual, #6 vegetarian with Ham, I never complain about food unless it's warranted. Today my sandwich tasted funny not sure why but I started getting sick to my stomach. I called and another sandwich was brought to me. This sandwich was much better! Fast delivery and easy to work with. read more

Very fast, particularly when there are long lines during the lunch rush. Also made well and tasty, as usual.

The food at this location is just like any other jimmy john's. Their delivery is fast enough, however, in a location in such proximity to so many office buildings, they never deliver napkins, and are hit and miss with straws, make sure to ask for them when you order, because you're unlikely to get them otherwise. read more
