    HERNDON, VA 11/11/19 LUNCH +Loyalty rewards program. +Freaky fast customer service. +The Gargantuan is my go-to sub...on French bread ("white"). -The closest location to my office is a 15-minute drive. -The franchisees aren't expanding quick enough. We need more stores! Lol.

    I placed a Mobile order for one of their new sandwiches. What I got was Awful and looked nothing like it!!

    Jimmy John's in Herndon is amazing!

    I come to this Jimmy John's about once every two weeks but go to Jimmy John's once a week between here and South riding. The subs here taste better because the breaded baked perfectly. Some of the other Jimmy's well over cook their bread or cook the moisture right out of it. Mr. William, who works the counter and makes the sandwiches, is absolutely fantastic. Watching him work with his coworkers shows me how much they care about hiring great people. With great people comes great service and great sandwiches.

    **** 3 1/2 Stars **** ------------------- We figured that we were overdue for a visit to Jimmy John's. I was curious to see how they stacked up against Jersey Mike's. The visit was worth it as we concluded that Jimmy John's was better than Subway but not quite as good as Jersey Mike's. When we arrived at around 6 p.m. on a Friday night, there was no line. The guy behind the register was very friendly. We both decided to go for the #5 Vito. This sandwich consists of "genoa salami, provolone, capicola, onion, lettuce, tomato and a real tasty Italian vinaigrette" (the description is straight from their menu.). We both asked them to hold the onion and we were happily obliged. One big difference between Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's --- the cold cuts at Jimmy John's are pre-sliced while Jersey Mike's slices them fresh with each order. Other differences---the rolls used at Jimmy John's are thinner (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Jersey Mike's "Mike's Way" is way better than Jimmy John's "real tasty Italian vinaigrette". Jersey Mike's is far more flavorful. However, I'll give Jimmy John's one thing---they aren't too heavy-handed with the vinaigrette which is sometimes a problem at Jersey Mike's. Jersey Mike's has some hot subs on the menu---not so for Jimmy John's. One thing at Jimmy John's that gave us a bit of a laugh---for their tuna subs, part of the description says "fresh housemade tuna". Yet up on a shelf in plain sight are institutional sizes of Chicken of the Sea tuna. Hmmm...a bit misleading...! Jersey Mike's "Original Italian" has a larger variety of meats in it. Theirs has provolone, ham, proscuittini, cappacuolo, salami and pepperoni. We have to say that Jersey Mike's wins the "throwdown" of the Italian subs in terms of overall flavor and variety. As for price ---Jersey Mike's is a bit more expensive. However, we go there when the "Clipper" has coupons. We've yet to see any for Jimmy John's As for atmosphere---Jimmy John's is a much smaller shop with far less seating. Also, while Jersey Mike's has 2 TVs running with soft sound, Jimmy John's blasts 80s headbanger music. At least we were lucky that they played 3 songs that we liked when were there. In between each songs there is very brief silence. So---it's like this --- Between bites of the sandwich, sing along with AC/DC "You shook me all night long" --- Quck, talk! --- Then sing along with Warrant "Where the down boys go" --- talk some more! --- Now sing along with Bon Jovi "Shot through the heart and you're too blame. You give love a bad name" So---For us anyway, Jersey Mike's comes out on top. Yet we don't have any problem giving Jimmy John's another shot and try a different sandwich. In fact, I'll take the "#5 Vito" any day over Subway's "BMT".

The food was dry and lacked zest, and crunch, and they had with no sauces, outside the basic mustard, ketchup, mayo, and some bland ranch and Tabasco. The worst of all was the cost; for such small quantity and poor dull quality, one sandwich and small fries was ~$16. Nando's would have been a significantly better alternative; they have a variety of sauces/flavors, a unique vibe, ample veggie options, zest and more quantity for what you pay. This place looks nice and clean, but the quality and quantity - for what you pay - is lackluster and subpar. Their average ~2 stars I see on here is justified. Maybe just for their shakes they're good, but for their foods, Burger King would even be a better alternative. 1.5 stars.

I came during the afternoon time, so it wasn't terribly busy, so I had a chance to chat with Mo. He told me the back story and how they planned on opening more locations. I ordered the chicken rice bowl and it was made to perfection! Mo also put some chicken on the side with the Fck you cra sauce so I can taste it. It was soooo good, I'm glad the sauce wasn't heavy on the vinegar like store bought hot sauces. I originally chose the fck you cra sauce, but he said I should try the extra hot sauce first to taste the flavor. The toffee cake was so delicious. I couldn't stop eating it! I loved the coconut flakes on the top. The cake itself was so moist. The fries were perfectly crunchy, I ate them before taking a picture. Everything was decently priced with generous portions. There is plenty of parking, shared by other businesses. Would I return!? Sure, if I'm in the area!

We got the RB#2. Two sandwiches with fries. One medium and one Hot. The Hot is like medium compared to other places. The medium is just a normal chicken in my opinion. The size of the chicken is a bit smaller also in comparison and their fries are normal crinkle fries. I also did not like their slaws. It is cut so small that they falls out when eating the sandwich. However, they do have a good variety of sauces. There are limited seating and night we were there it was pretty full. It is probably a good place to go if you live around there and want to get a quick bite. Maybe I will go back and try the Halal Guys style #1.

And, I'm not sure if this place serves the best tacos on the planet, but I can say that they certainly serve the best tacos that I've ever had! I came here just after flying into Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), nonstop from Los Angeles (LAX). I hadn't eaten since I was in Los Angeles because I refuse to eat that terrible airplane food. Needless to say, I was pretty hungry by the time I arrived. I walked in without a reservation, at about 9pm, and they appeared to be moderately busy. Shortly after entering a friendly hostess guided me to a comfortable booth. As I looked around this business, I was immediately pleased with the "cool vibe" that this place had. Several folks were either dining together or socializing at the bar. My immediate thought was that this would be a really pleasant place to take someone special on a date. Shortly after being seated, a waitress stopped by my table and introduced herself. Her name was Alayna. Seeing that I was new to this restaurant, she quickly went over the menu and other details unique to this restaurant. She was also careful to ask if I had any food allergies, because a lot of folks have these. I told her how much I appreciated her focus on this because two of my kids have food allergies that I have to watch out for. I ordered a pomegranate limonada to drink, which was incredibly refreshing. For my first round of tacos, I ordered the "baja fish" taco, the "roasted duck" taco, and the "sesame ribeye" taco. For my second round, I ordered the "carne asada" taco, the "yukatán shrimp" taco, and the "crispy oyster" taco. And boy, these tacos not only satisfied my hunger, they were all absolutely delicious! Throughout my experience here, Alayna was incredibly professional, attentive, and pleasant. If you're ever in the Reston area, I would highly recommend that you stop by here for a meal. This was a solid five-star experience!

I tried this place out for lunch on a rare outing without my wife and when the craving for cart style meat over rice struck. The restaurant was completely empty during peak lunch hours, which did not bode well. I nonetheless proceeded and ordered a combo chicken/lamb platter over rice to go. Shah's sauces are solid, and I appreciate that the white sauce is not gloppy or sweet like some other competitors' and that the red sauce is appropriately piquant. They also offer a mild but flavorful green sauce which adds some fresh notes. Those sauces are needed as the chicken, lamb, and rice are unremarkable. The chicken possessed a decent flavor from a spiced marinade, though the pieces ran a little dry. The lamb cubes tasted like generic gyro and carried little flavor besides salt. The rice itself lacked the fluffy yet al dente texture seen at the best halal places. The proteins did not taste fresh and were served from a steam table rather than off the griddle. Still, the overall eating experience felt reasonably enjoyable due to the flavor of the sauces carrying the weight of the platter. The guy who took and assembled my order was very nice, though forgot to include pita bread in my order. I paid about $13 for the meal, and the portion was generous. As such, Shah's is a competent but unremarkable halal platter spot. I would not go out of my way to eat here, but if it's the closest place to you for this type of food it's a fine option.
