I didn't really need to as I ate this whole thing in one go. I was the one who wanted to try out this spot due to the pictures of the food. Inside, it makes me feel like it was one of those homes that got renovated a little to be a restaurant. I got the BBQ R plate as it was advertised on the front door as we walked in,. The menu needs to be updated correctly to how they charge us because you can't see how much they charge you until after you pay and get the receipt. I think the guy needs to fix his wording too with asking for add-ons because he doesn't mention at all if they cost extra so BEWARE for avocado. We had to wait for about 15 minutes. Place could be cleaned more and the drive-thru process they have seem to be homemade also. Overall not bad for a good and filling lunch!!!

A woman by the name of Liza helped us out, letting us know that the food was made fresh so we might need some time, which we were definitely willing to take a chance on. I got the chicken kabob gyro, and my partner got a beef gyro. Both of us were grunting like animals between bites we kept yelling, " oh hell yeah!" Every bite was more delicious than the last.

They also have some rarities in the refrigerator like tick tock famous pineapples soaked in Kool Aid and Warhead Lemonade. There were so many awesome selections on the menu that one could almost be paralyzed by the choices.

The bottom bun was already soggy by the time I parked to eat it, even though I only drove a very short distance from the restaurant. The burger was juicy, but it was also incredibly sloppy, and the bun was too small to hold everything together. On top of that, it was way too salty. I like seasoning, but this had more salt than I could enjoy. For the price, I expected a much better burger. Between the small size, soggy bun, and overly salty taste, I don't think it was worth the money. I won't be ordering it again.

Also, no matter the location -- I've experienced consistency across the chain (good job corporate trainers!). Whether you choose burgers, fries, salads, chicken sandwiches, or all four -- it's fresh, good quality, well-priced, and quick. My favorite burger is the Teriyaki Char Burger with Cheese -- love that charbroiled flavor and sweet tangy sauce. It's nearly impossible to avoid their super fries & a drink (a few bucks extra) -- heck yeah! It used to be much cheaper, but still, it's fast food prices, and yet, no sacrifice on quality whatsoever. I also highly recommend their salads. They have several kinds to choose from. More than half of my visits I would order the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, and I have them add bbq sauce atop. It is supreme! The chicken is served warm, and again, love that char flavor.

I have a business around the corner from this particular jimmy johns so we've ordered a lot from them in the past. A couple weeks ago I had a very bad experience with this restaurant over a side of peppers I know seem ridiculous needless to say the manager or managers handled it very poorly. All I wanted was the side I ordered with my delivery and when I called they assured me they would send them right over. This was after waiting almost 45 minutes for my order to be delivered. When the delivery guy showed up I asked why it took so long and he stated they ran out of bread and that they should of called me which they didn't. I said that's fine so I paid him and he left. Then when I notice no peppers and it's clearly printed on the receipt I decided to call and ask if they could please send some over. Well after the first no show I called again and ask to speak to the manager again and they said he or she was off and that she was the new manager that had just came in so I explained everything again and she offered me a free sandwich and she would send it right over with the peppers. I told her she didn't have to send over another sandwich just the peppers. I wasn't looking for a hand out or anything free just my peppers. Well after another hour and no peppers I called and spoke to her and she stated that I told her I didn't want anything and that's why she didn't send me anything. I got frustrated and just said that it was ridiculous and told her I would not be ordering from them anymore and hung up. I emailed the corporate office and they got back to me in a couple days and they said the franchise owner was told about it and that they would call me. Well its been a couple of weeks and no call or even an email from owner guess that where the employees learned it from. All I wanted was my peppers no free sandwich or voucher or anything just my side of peppers. Thanks to poor customer service I will no longer order from jimmy johns read more

I had always been told that Jimmy John's was the best place to get a sandwich/sub so I decided to give it a try. I walked in and I was not greeted, the employee (Emily) asked me if I was ready to order & I smiled told her that I wasn't since it was my first time there and I didn't know what to order. She responded that she would give me more time & never suggested or explained how they work. The way she responded made me feel like I was taking up her time. I assumed that it was like Subway and you tell them what you want as they prepare it. So I told her what type of sub I wanted but I was never asked if I wanted to add anything to my sandwich. I am very disappointed, especially on their customer service. read more

If you want a good, fast, quality sandwich Jimmy Johns is the place for you! Some of the best customer service around. I ordered the Turkey Tom and it was so good! I literally paid and got my sandwich which is perfect as I don't have a lot of time on my break. They have all natural meats no preservatives and you can definitely taste the difference from soggy nasty deli turkey you get at most places. On top of it they deliver. Yes no more pizza when I don't feel like going out to order some food. Thanks Jimmy. Welcome to Downey I'll be back. read more

The whole secret to this place is what time you go and who the crew is that is making the sandwiches. When I go here during the day the sandwich's are 5 star excellent. However I came on a Saturday evening all guys working and the sandwiches were not good. People that evening seemed more interested in talking to each other than making the sandwiches. Had to look outside on the sign to make sure I was at the same place. I recommend you go during the day, your order will be ready sooner and taste better. read more

Sometimes Sunday evenings at sandwich shops can be hectic, but this visit was pretty smooth from start to finish. I ordered the Club Supreme, Mike's Way, and added yellow peppers and pickles. If you're a fan of a sub with a little extra tang, crunch, and acidity, I definitely recommend adding both. The combination worked really well with the meats, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and the Mike's Way dressing. Everything came together nicely, and the bread had a good texture without overpowering the fillings. One thing I really appreciated was being able to customize my sub more than I expected. I never thought I'd be able to add so much to it, but they were accommodating, which made the sandwich feel much more tailored to what I wanted. A big shoutout to Aaron, who helped me and my family during our visit. He provided excellent customer service and was friendly and helpful throughout the ordering process. Good customer service can really make a difference, especially when you're ordering for a group, and Aaron definitely made the experience better. The food was good, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the overall vibe was laid-back. No unnecessary chaos, no long stressful wait, and the staff was welcoming. For a Sunday evening, I couldn't have asked for a much smoother experience.
