If you're in the mood for a good deli sandwich, JJ's (Jimmy Johns) is one of the better options in downtown Evanston... Pros: (+1 Star) Freshness and Consistency. Wheater its this location or others around Chicago, my sandwich is always made the same exact way, with the exact same taste-- I have never seen a wilted piece of lettuce or bad tomatoes--the bread is always fresh and has the nice crunch when you bite into it. (+1 Star) They understand vegetarians. Meat is not our forte, so when you order a veggie sub (#6)--they legit, hook you up. (+1 Star) Freaky Fast. Your sandwich is ready in less than a minute (+1 Star) Worth the delivery. Especially when it's rainy, cold, snowing---your sandwich is guaranteed to come to you Cons: (-1 Star) For some odd reason, for this specific location, you cannot order online and pick up your sandwich in store. The minimum for pickup orders is $30 Overall 4/5 stars-- fresh, quick, and accommodating to vegetarians. read more

Jimmy John's - No one else does veggies subs better than this. - Sandwiches Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Upside: Standard SPROUTS on your sandwich with some good, thick, hearty grainy, wheat type bread, if you request it. Downside: questionable health and sanitation practices. Also, they sometimes run out of the thick grain bread later at night. read more

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

This location messed up my simple order. It's a typical Jimmy Johns, no frills sandwiches. This location is in a good location in downtown Evanston, but if you can't get a simple order correct when I'm the only person in line to order, I won't be returning to this location. read more

Glad there's a Jimmy John's nearby for when I crave a non-greasy but quick meal, and Al's doesn't deliver. As far as simple sandwiches with fresh ingredients go, this location (and the chain in general) just doesn't hold a candle to my favorite local sandwich shop. Still, a great thing to have around. They really are FAST. The sandwiches are okay... very consistent though, so that's a plus. No more sprouts though :( I dunno when they stopped, but I asked a couple of months ago and I believe they said "we don't even have them in the restaurant anymore" - Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if this meant they're out or stopped serving them, but it definitely sounded like no more permanently on the phone. PS - 55cent for 2 loaves of day old bread! Great for bread pudding, your own sandwiches, etc. They're not stale at all when you buy them day-old ,but they don't really last more than a couple of days. read more

Do not trust the hours you see on google for this location. They will close down and lock the doors whenever they feel like, it seems. I would rate the food but clearly I did not get that far. read more

Well, Jimmy John's certainly lives up to its speedy service. I barely got finished paying at the register when they called my order was ready! My go to is the Turkey Tom and I get it with extra tomatoes. I might ask for extra mayo next time since the turkey and bread tasted a little dry at times. read more

Jimmy, You are the beneficiary of prime real estate. Your sandwiches are okay, but let's be honest, you would lose every battle you ever fought against Potbelly's. If the weather weren't so damn cold in the winter and hot in the summer, then all the students to the north would be more apt to walk a little further south for better food. In any event, you still could kill a Subway sub with your bare hands. Thanks for being convenient. Best, Dustin P. read more

Usually I love jimmy johns, I don't knock their food. I'm giving one star because of their genius policy that you apparently can NOT call in a pick up order that's less than four sandwiches. When I asked why, the response was "We want to ensure fresh sandwiches". So four sandwiches will stay fresh but one won't? What the hell sense does that make. You lost a customer today. Needed to pick up something fast and quick, and I was just told "you'll need to come in and order". Jimmy's definitely didn't live up to their speedy reputation. Let's be real, great customer service is making it happen for the customer. You want the sale? Or uphold a nonsensical policy. read more

The address listed with this entry is their old address. They are currently located at 1729 North Sherman Avenue. I think that all Jimmy John's make great sandwiches, but this one is extra special because they staff is so nice and they are exceptionally fast! I love the avocado sauce on the #12 - so good! read more

Finally, a new sandwich. #17. Too bad that it is just a ham sandwich with bacon. I know that Jimmy John's prides themselves on simplicity, and for the most part I agree that it is the way to go in a sandwich shop, but I would like to see some more new items or features on the menu once in a while. How about letting some of the "Rockstars" feature the sandwiches that they make for themselves when they get bored at work. They probably come up with good stuff. The Evanston Jimmy Johns is typically fast, friendly, and clean. Unlike Subway, JJ's actually has good bread, both white and wheat. Also unlike Subway, that bread smell doesn't stick to you after you dine in (or just step in for a minute in Subway's case). Jimmy Johns was the 10,000 chain restaurant to buy into the TGI Friday's doctrine of campy wall coverings, but for some reason it doesn't bother me here. I like that the music is kind of loud. I need that once in a while. read more

Fantastic! Have you ever just wanted a really fresh and amazing sandwich? This is it! Thank you Jimmy Johns Evanston for consistently being amazing. Time and time again I come to you and you never fail. The cookies are superb and my kids love your pickles. Keep up the great work!!! read more

Jimmy John's - I brought my adorable 6 month old to enjoy his first bites of Jimmy Johns and I LOVE this seal on the wall. Thank you! - Sandwiches Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

See all

Freakiest fastest Jimmy's that I've ever had. I didn't even finish ordering a second sandwich for a coworker who had decided to join last minute before our first order of sandwiches arrived. I have eaten at Jimmy's on the East and West coast and this has consistently been the fastest. Obviously as usual the sandwiches are delish. Beach Club + bacon! Oh, and there's this super cute delivery guy named Xavier. Ask for him. He's fast and fun to look at ;) read more

Great Sandwiches! Fast service, decent prices Love Jimmy Johns

I always order a #5, no tomatoes or onions, add the peppers, and before I can get to the end of my order it seems to already be waiting for me at the end of the counter. There's something so delicious about this sandwich. I know it's a chain and I know they've had some sprout issues in the past, but I'm still a fan. read more

Fast, reliable, and consistently good. Just like the other shops in the chain, they deliver quickly and this location is centrally located in downtown Evanston. I had a very specific order with extras and they delivered on it perfectly. Great experience, would definitely order from them again. read more

The delivery is awesome - always get my order right, and they are super fast. However, whenever I have ordered in the store, they get my order wrong. How is that possible?! Get JJ's delivery - awesome every time. I really like the turkey tom unwich! read more

Usually this place has my sandwich ready before I've even paid. [That's either saying something about the speed of the sandwich makers or that of the cashier.] I only ever get the vegetarian one, so that's all I can comment on. It's not a gourmet sandwich (despite what's on their logo), but it's good and fast. read more

I did not dine in or order from this location. What I do wanna say is that their drivers are super rude and love road raging. As I was turning left into their street one of their drivers (he was wearing a hat) almost hit my car as he was pulling out of the parking spot. I was in shock and instead of apologizing he stuck his head out of the window and said "What was that?" I was very confused because 1. I didn't say anything 2. Why he didn't even wave or apologize. Following that he said "That's what I thought..." and of course at that point, I chased him down and saw him run a red light... And I do have a dash cam so I have a recording of everything that happened. Dear Manager, the driver was driving a Scion (one of those ugly cars that look like boxes). You should run a better background checks on your drivers. And have a talk with that pal. read more

This Jimmy Johns delivered to my job really quickly and it saved my lunch hour. Thank you for your efficiency! The staff was so nice on the phone and I'm looking forward to ordering from them again in the future. read more

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

Have you ever eaten a turkey sandwich from there? It's the blandest sandwich in the history of mankind. I asked for provolone to help with the taste and discovered when I got back to Chicago that they forgot to add it to the sandwich although they charged me $.99 for it. There was hardly any turkey on there, either. Sandwich wasn't worth the price. I called and they said I could go back and they'd fix it. I said I was already too far to go back. The guy said they could only fix it that day because they have no way of keeping track of these things. OK. How about writing it down on a piece of paper somewhere??!! I guess if they can't get a simple request for cheese right then keeping track of disappointed customers IS way outside of their capabilities! read more

Do not waste your time ordering from this location, they are ALWAYS late with deliveries, typically 40 minutes before I receive my food. Today it was nearly an hour. Never ordering from here again read more

Unfortunately I get sick whenever eat here. I worked with someone who also got sick like clockwork whenever the company ordered sandwiches from here. I suspect it may be preservatives in the bread or mayo or maybe the bread is not thoroughly baked and its a reaction to the yeast. read more

wow - they ARE fast. My co-worker and I order regularly from here and we call and 5 minutes later they are at our office. We actually did freak. We only had one issue. One time my co-worker only had a $20 bill and the driver had NO change. My advice - don't deliver food if you don't have any change. He was a little mad (because he had to go back to the store for change), but come on...there is no way he deserved a $15 tip. read more

I usually go here either for the BLT or the Italian. The sandwiches are wonderfully cheap, but there's a reason behind this: Often, they don't come with cheese or all the toppings. That's extra. Give this place a visit but go to Subway more often for guaranteed cheap (and full) sandwiches. read more

I don't know what Jimmy John's puts in there sandwiches but they are excellent. Only thing that keeps me from coming here more often is the small portions for similar prices to other sandwich shops. However Jimmy John's is far superior to Subway and the dreadful Potbelly's. read more

I can say without a doubt I have never had a bad experience at any Jimmy John's. I prefer the 10. Hunter's Club on french. The bread is always tasty and fresh, and the sandwich is loaded with meat and that creamy mayo Jimmy's is known for. I would take Jimmy John's any day over Subway. The only gripe I can have is that I am pretty picky about my guac, and the the stuff the put on the Beach Club can barely pass for green sauce based on the idea of guac. But, I am never let down by the Hunter's Club. The minor price difference is worth it for a great sandwich made super quick. Unpretentious and straightforward service with a smile. read more

I love you! I love you beach club, less mayo, no tomatoes, extra sprouts. I love your crunch and your fake avacado spread.

Jimmy John's sandwiches are generally decent, as you know. But I give credit to this location for always having about 4x the amount of necessary employees behind the counter. Seriously, it's ridiculous that my sandwich is done being made before I've received my change from the guy at the register. Jimmy John's, your speed is matched only by your delicious tuna salad. read more

I freakin' love the freaky fast Jimmy Johns... and this location is one of my favorites. Great tunes on the radio, the staff is always fast, and my sandwich is always delicious. I only wish they had more seating. If I could have a Beach Club sans-mayo every day, life would be complete. read more

I know the slogan is "subs so fast you'll freak" but they really live up to that, I am always shocked at how fast they get my food to me. Love it, good sandwiches in a hurry. Very consistent service and quality. read more

Never had a bad sammich and the are very quick with the delivery. Some of the drivers/bikers seem a little nervous/ weird lol

Usually their service is great! When I need something fast and yummy, I go to them. However today I ordered through the app. a tuna sandwich, and while the picture was of a delicious looking sandwich, what I got was a tiny scoop of tuna and a weak looking sandwich. And when I say tiny, I mean tiny. Like literally, one bite of tuna. So disappointed. read more

Jimmy John's - Two tiny scoops of tuna, on a sad looking sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

I enjoy JJ's sandwiches, chips and cookies. Every time I go to a JJ, the service isn't that great. No one smiles or says thank you and they all seem like they hate their job. The staff at this location welcome and greeted me. I was so shocked that I had to tell them how I felt. read more

Aweful service!! Placed an order at 12:29 was specific about where to deliver the order. It was close to 1pm and still no order. Called Jimmy John's and asked about our order. The telephone person was rude. When we finally recieved our order one of the sandwiches was incorrect. Called back and was told that the general manager made the sandwich as ordered. I told the telephone person to send someone to pick up the sandwich so she could see that it was the wrong sandwich. The telephone person suggested that I was lying. Never again will I order!!!! read more

Rescues me and many coworkers several times a week. Freaky fast! But also a darn good sandwich and a nice staff. read more

I loved this place! The meal was really fresh and I thought the place was so friendly and clean! Such a nice addition to the Evanston restaurants! read more

I have been ordering from that place for a while. It's not that cheap but easy to get to on the phone easy on timing of delivery, and I love there Vito subs, I I am wishing they can add soup and salads to their menu. They can place soup in a non spill able container and with fast delivery soup says hot and sandwich stays without harm. If It were not for Jimmy Johns's delivery we wold have to wait longer. read more

They are alright. I prefer potbellys. I just felt bad about giving them 1 star because I was mad about them forgetting my xtra tomato.

Love this location! The bread is always fresh and I can never get enough of the chips. The service is always friendly and creates a warm and inviting atmosphere even for a quick bite on the go! read more

I discovered when i returned to my office yesterday that my sandwich was missin g the avacado i ordered. They sent a delivery to my office with the correct sandwich plus a cookie within the next 20 minutes!!! read more
