Had lunch here for the first time. We were greeted immediately when we entered. The atmosphere is nice, new, clean, and it has a sort of "classic/industrial" vibe (brick wall, red & white subway tile, stone tile flooring.) I had a #12 (Beach Club) and my son had the Slim 1 (Ham & Cheese.) I asked for peppers on mine and they said they only have cherry peppers. Great! I love cherry peppers! :) I also asked for pickles, and they told me that they only have whole dill pickles available for an extra charge. That's fine, let's do it! They got started on our sandwiches right away. When I realized that they also have alfalfa sprouts, I asked if I could add them as well, and they were happy to add them (at no charge, I may add.) I also want to add that my sandwich was already made and wrapped and the girl was happy to unwrap it and add the sprouts and re-wrap it for me. I told her that I could just have a side of sprouts and I can put it on myself, and she smiled sweetly and said she is happy to put it on for me. That was so nice! My son ordered the Slim ham & Cheese. ("Slim" means just meat, cheese, and bread.) I asked if he could get mayonnaise on his sandwich and they said that they can't add it to a Slim, but they could give us mayo packets and we can put it on ourselves. No worries. We can handle that! So we complete our order with 2 regular size drinks and a bag of BBQ chips.
The total for the 2 sandwiches, pickle, 2 drinks, and 1 bag of chips was $20.02, which may sound like a lot, but this is good QUALITY food! Just wait until you taste it! :)
We decided to eat inside, versus taking it To Go. Once our sandwiches were ready, they placed them all neatly wrapped in the counter and called out our order so we could come up and get it. The pickle was wrapped in paper too. It was huge! Just like the ones at Disneyland. (I suspect they could be the same ones! Tasted exactly the same! Delicious!!)
We sat down and unwrapped our sandwiches. Wow!!! The bread is fresh, soft, and tasty. The meat and cheese are obviously really high quality. And the produce was all really fresh. And they take care not to just slap everything on there. It was actually a nice, neat sandwich (unlike many other sandwich places! Messy sandwich = Yuck!)
My 7 year old son couldn't believe how good it was. He kept using words like "fresh" and "quality" and "delicious" ... And he said it was his favorite sandwich ever!!! He isn't usually a big eater, but he ate his ENTIRE 8" Slim Ham & Cheese with mayo!!! :)
I don't leave reviews very often, but this place is definitely worthy of 5 stars!! They have excellent quality, their sandwiches are delicious, and the employees were friendly and seemed happy in their workplace! (Sadly this is a rarity these days!)
Thank you Jimmy John's!! We'll definitely be back soon!
P.S. They have signs on the walls that are worth reading. And the sign on the floor in the ladies restroom is ironically funny! :) read more
