Because of Sarasota's poor quality food and poor quality of people working there, I have not been to J Mike's in 4 years.

If you hate being happy, avoid this place at all costs, but if you enjoy occasionally dabbling in joy this is the place to be.

They come with ranch of course and a Melba sauce which was unique. It gave a good sweet and salty mix with the curds. The service was also quick and friendly. Definitely check out if you are in the area

When I ask for a refund they say only the manager can give refunds and she's never there so they ask me to drive back another day and waste time to get my money. If you're in Dubuque go elsewhere.

I thought maybe it was me, but observed her rude to others. This is a restaurant's first chance to set the tone, and she is not doing them any justice. We got a table and ordered drinks. My mom got the loaded Bloody Mary, which she said was delicious. It also was LOADED. Get this for sure! My SIL got the broasted chicken and said it was tasty as well. If you like chicken, it would be worth trying. Sadly I got a Mushroom and Swiss burger and it was fine. I always get burgers well done from a food safety perspective. It was medium at best. We already waited 40 minutes for food so I didn't send it back. The server never came back to ask how our food was either. My niece got a grilled cheese on the kid's menu. It was 90% bread for a 4 year old. Parents don't get this option! It's not worth the money. I know they were busy so trying to be respectful of that. Unfortunately the service was slow, the staff lacking and the food average to below, so go for a drink but choose your food wisely.

Cameron, Cody, Bailey and Mercy (at the Main Street location) came to our rescue one night, going out of their way to help when we needed resources that they had. And while serving the other customers as well. When we say "Midwest nice," these are the folks we are talking about. It may seem like a small thing to them, but it's their attitude and willingness to help even non customers that makes me want to return as a customer and to encourage others to patronize this restaurant. It starts at the top. Please, management, let these employees know how grateful we were and that their impact has made me a more frequent customer to all the JJs in our area. I will remember these four, Mercy, Bailey, Cody and Cameron whenever I visit Jimmy John's because they really made a great impression on me.

Placing our order when we got the drinks was perfectly timed. I had the Roadkill with the mushrooms and onions on top, a side of baked potato and salad with bleu cheese. This salad is the perfect size for an entire lunch salad. Eggs, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, red cabbage and croutons! The bleu cheese dressing was thick, creamy and delicious. Others at our table had the early bird deals with pulled pork and 6oz tenderloins. I always take half my dinner home for the next day and there's so much pulled pork, it makes an additional meal as well. Drinks were refilled in a timely manner and to-go containers were brought as well. We did use the kiosk to pay but we always use a custom tip since it isn't accurately calculated, pre-tax, for their estimates. My only complaint is how loud it gets when they do their dance... not just the music (which you can't talk over) but the clapping. It reverberates so much that I actually had to cover my ear that was facing them, as it started hurting my ear with every clap. I have never noticed that issue before but this was the first time we were seated in the bar area, just next to where they do the dance. Found out later that tonight was also a donation night, wish may explain some of the crowded night. Fabulous service and was well stuffed when we left.
