I dont care what any one says. Jimmy Johns beats Subway hands down every time. The prices are the same and they are 10 times fast and taste 20 times better. They are open late for the college campus so it tastes great at any times of the day. Be warned though it can get pretty crowded on Friday/ Saturday nights.

Jimmy John's is another in a long line of sandwich shops, along the lines of Subway, Togo's, etc. Personally, I'd rather have a corned beef on rye in a real deli, but I'll take Jimmy John's in a pinch or when I'm hungry for Lunch in the Campustown area. The sandwiches that I've had at Jimmy John's have been tasty (and maybe in a Midwest bland sort of way), a good value, and with service that has been friendly and helpful.

Jimmy John's is so overrated. I'd heard of the place but this was my first time eating there. Of course it'll be a hit amongst Midwesterners who are accustomed to eating food bland. Cheap shredded lettuce and lunchmeat. I got The Gargantuan which tasted fair. It was a nice size for the price, which I'll say is the store's positive aspect. Subway has more flavor. I have nothing negative to specifically say about this Jimmy John's. A lot of my friends go there because it's in Campustown and affordable.

Jimmy John's for the bread win. The stuff is soft, and if bread could be supple, it would be. Sourdough and French made a baby, and named it a Jimmy John's loaf. Screw the wheat sliced jumbo bread and go for the calorie slugging genius that is the roll. As for the meats and cheeses, this is nothing short of the deli counter at Hy-Vee. There is nothing special behind the bar except for the ridiculous amount of mayo that graces the bread. The sandwiches are not for people on a diet...these sandwich 'artists' plop on artory-clogging Hellman's mayo. Add a few more samplings of juicy-juicy oil and vinegar, mustard and whatever else the spatula can scoop, and you have found the reason people find it so wonderful. Meat, eh. Lettuce, eh. Cheese, eh. Nothing special. This isn't anything I can't make at home buying one of their day old bread and turkey from the store. If you haven't really had a freakin' genius hoagie or italian roll from a REAL deli, than these are pretty decent sandwiches. If you have, you will wonder what all the fuss it about.

God I freaked out when I first got to college and had my first drunk Jimmy John's. It's a solid chain and the Vito holds a special place in my heart.
