Okay, let's be clear - I'm not giving Jimmy John's 5 stars (it's meat on bread, people); I'm giving THIS Jimmy John's 5 stars. +They have never taken more than 15 minutes to deliver (seriously!) +They always immediately answer calls from my cell phone number by addressing me by name and confirming by address (I think most Jimmy Johns have this feature, but not all really use it so well) +They are generous with avo spread +Maybe I'm crazy, but the 8-inch subs seem bigger than at the State Street location? In conclusion: start your apartment search in this delivery area ;)

Generally great quick sandwich restaurant. Don't expect their "freaky fast" delivery any time on game day as they happen to be the only location in Ann Arbor which delivers. In any case, I'm satisfied with my order! Can't go wrong with the slim one.

I've never understood the appeal. The meat is thin, super processed slivers of tasteless protein, while the bread is whiter-than-white duck feeding fare. It's Ironic that most Jimmy Johns restaurants have the neon "Free Smells" signs glued to their windows, as the food is positively scentless. I mean, suspiciously so. They really only deserve one star, but I offer them two since their food is decidedly inoffensive and friendly to the stomach. They also deliver, which is useful if you're too drunk to drive or eat good food. Ordering is also fun, since the subs are given ridiculous, quasi-Italian names like "Vito" and "Pepe."

Nothing 'gourmet' about this place. It used to be a reliable and quick place to find nourishment, until I discovered Amer's, which is about four times better and not a whole lot more expensive. I did still venture here occasionally, but it made me sick once and they kept screwing up my order. Haven't been back since.

Why is this in the pizza section? As far as I know Jimmy John's is only deli sub sandwiches. Yelp you need to fix this little mistake

I'm torn. I love Jimmy John's. It's probably one of my fave "fast food" options out there. The bread is a fluffy little rectangle of delight and totally makes the sammy for me. However this location? I can't. The staff is super nice. I've never had a bad experience. But the location is a nightmare. I mean, I guess if you're a student walking there from campus it'll be alright but driving? Good luck. The parking lot is terrifying. You know that scene in Austin Powers where he's trying to turn the little cart around in a narrow hallway? It's like that. Trying not to hit the other cars in the lot, or the building, and only being able to move an inch at a time. And then you finally get out and you realize that the little alley you were hoping to escape from? It's not an alley, it's a driveway to a house behind the restaurant. A bridge to nowhere. So then you have to do your little escape routine all over again to get to the point where you can run away down Packard. Awful. If you're on foot or not afraid to park on a side street and walk over there then it's not too bad. Because, I mean, the staff is great and the sandwiches are pretty good. But to me, having to park a block away totally negates the "fast food" moniker if you just want to get in and out. If you're like me then another location may be a better bet.

I've ordered from here abut 50 times and only once was I not satisfied with the food.... Which the promptly replaced "freaky fast" I might add. The delivery drivers are always friendly. I have never been into the store so I cannot comment on that part of the business.

I have ordered from this Jimmy John's a few times. And I'd rate the sandwiches at 3~4 stars easily. But today I saw something that will make me think twice. A Jimmy John's driver ran a red light (a full second after the light for my lane turned green) and then proceeded to drive at least 15 mph over the speed limit. Hmmm. I don't want to support that type of behavior. So I am not sure if I'll order from them again in the future. Fast delivery is one thing, but unsafe driving is a completely different matter. Minus one star for the driving infractions. I don't need it *that* fast.

Beck E.
It was late at night and my blood sugar was at an all-time low. I desperately needed something to eat and decided on Jimmy John's because they are always priding themselves on their fast delivery (and their white bread has got to have the highest glycemic index of any food product of our time or something). It took what felt like forever (actually 40 minutes) for them to make two standard sandwiches and for the delivery driver to drive like, 5 blocks. I probably should have just walked over and gotten take-out.

Mei O.
I seriously don't know that the fuss about Jimmy Johns is. I would take Quiznos or Potbellies any day. They're big on being quick, but it can be very intimidating if you're there during slow times and there's 5 people making your one sandwich. It's ok, but nothing really sticks in my mind as being noteworthy.

i really just don't understand the appeal of jimmy john's. if you put some salt and pepper on cardboard it'd taste pretty much just like jimmy john's. why is this place so ubiquitous?

Amy M.
Order: Delivery, Beach Club, Bag O Chips, Dr Pepper Pros: One star for speed (delivered in under 20 min during peak lunch!) One star for food: I get the beach club a lot and it is always tasty! One star for the delivery driver being super nice, and doing her best to resolve our issues (below) Cons: Minus half a star for forgetting my chips and a straw. Again. :( Minus half a star for telling me I owe them cash when I gave my credit card number over the phone. Minus half a star for them re-charging my credit card over the phone with the incorrect amount and having to run it for a THIRD time. (By all means, keep reading my credit card number out loud on the front porch for everyone to hear) Yet another half star down for telling me that they may come back later so I can sign the receipt. Seriously? By that point I wanted to torpedo the sandwich into the yard. But I was hungry and only my dog would have happily benefitted from that reaction. So I played it cool. It wasn't the delivery driver's fault. Anyway, JJ, I like you guys, and I'll probably even give you another chance, but please don't sacrifice quality for speed. I'd rather wait an extra 30 seconds for you to verify that everything is done correctly. 3/5=D-

Nicholas M.
I'm pretty sure Jimmy John's has saved my life at least once, and I've probably eaten here close to 80 times. Wow, putting that in writing makes me feel like I need to diversify. I also keep pretty weird hours sometimes, and it's great have a place that will deliver at 3am. Good size subs that are consistently delicious and for some reason weirds me out less than Subway's meats. Their giant cookies are also incredible and I think unfortunately overlooked. This is my go to place when I want something fast that I know I'll enjoy, or I'm just really craving the taste of mayonnaise. It happens. Don't judge me with your judging eyes.

Minus 1 star because it's located in Ann Arbor! Just kidding ;) My husband went to school at U of M so we'd come to JJ sometimes for some good sandwiches. JJ is awesome because: 1) Consistency 2) Quality of Food 3) Selection 4) Cheap 5) Fast Service For college students this is wonderful and they have late hours (comes in handy after the bar). For anyone it's great because of all the reasons above. The bread is also very delicious...plus they give "free smells" :) You can't go wrong with JJ!

Tony L.
Unbelievable that this one franchise refuses to include napkins with delivery orders when requested. Also delivery times vary from 6 minutes (good) to 28 minutes. Not reliable like the other JJ's. I've already complained to corporate. Management must go. Totally ignored complaints by coworkers and my complaints.

I would agree with previous posters that there's nothing INCREDIBLY about Jimmy John's, and the hype doesn't make a ton of sense. However, they do very speedily make a fairly tasty sandwich. And they're conveniently located right next door to my house (so maybe I should rate it more highly to draw you over to visit me, but I'll be truthful). I had a BLT sub this afternoon for lunch, and i enjoyed it. It didn't have the standard problem of way too much or way too little bacon, so points for that. The people didn't seem to think I was odd when I stared at the menu helplessly for a few minutes while trying to decide. I'll definitely end up going back, and if you have to stop and grab a quick lunch, this isn't a bad place to do it.
(3)
Amy P.
I am not a sandwich gal, but this one was really good. When you walk in the smell of fresh baked bread wafts through the air...you order and by the time you pay your sandwich is ready. I had the beach club and it was great! Be sure to ask them to cut your sandwich in half, as it is hard to manuver. Reasonably priced, clean bathroom...good experience. Great place for a tight lunch break!

Christine C.
Oh Jimmy Johns... How I miss thee!! There's just something about the bread. My favorites: The #5 and #1. Please come to NYC.
(5)
C L.
Now.. I don't agree with what Jimmy John's is feeding America but they get 3 stars for delivering a specific product very well. The sandwich is as un-gourmet and preprocessed as it gets but sometimes one has a hankering for one the way one might crave cheese whiz or creamed corn (which is not often). The turkey sandwich comes on nutritionally lacking, plain, white bread. This is loaded with mayo and shredded iceberg lettuce. There is 1 type of cheese available. It tastes fine but I'd rather go to subways for something healthier with more variety.
(3)
Matt B.
Please don't overemphasize how you put "REAL" mayonnaise on your damn sandwiches and then proudly display giant tubs of Hellman's mayo on the top shelf above your workstation; THEN proceed to slather one of the aforementioned tubs onto MY damned sandwich...yes, that is exactly what I wanted...a REAL mayonnaise club sandwich. oh I suppose somewhere in there was some avocado and turkey, but I'd be hard pressed to find it. YUK.
(1)
Victor C.
PROS: 1. Quick. By the time you finish paying, you will probably have your sandwich in hand. 2. Good variety. Something for everyone, including vegetarians. Lots of meat combos. Tuna too. 3. Cheap. Can escape with sandwich, drink and chips for under $6. 4. Many locations nearby (South Univ, Packard, S. State) and open until 3am. CONS: 1. Similar to a Subway sandwich (similar bread, too much lettuce and not enough meat) or one you may be able to make yourself. 2. Tends to glop on the mayo. Even if you say "easy." 3. 8" sub may not be filling enough, so best to order Giant Club. RECOMMENDED: Any of the Giant Clubs or 8" if you want a light snack. AVOID: Plain Slims options. Too small, might as well bump up to 8". ATMOSPHERE: Largely take-out. But well-lit with lots of tables or counters to eat at. PRICE RANGE: around $3.50 for a sub BASED ON: 2 visits (2 people each time)

Dave M.
There are something like 237 Jimmy John's sub shops scattered in Ann Arbor, but this is probably the one I visited the most. Jimmy John's is great because it is cheap , fast (they make a sub in under a minute, literally), and consistent. When I was a particularly poor undergrad (poor undergrad...it almost sounds like an oxymoron now that I am a grad student at Stanford) I used to by the salmi and capicola slim jim, which also contained swiss cheese (just those three items and bread...no topping!) and cost something like $2.25. Man those were the days. I remember the week after my sophomore year when I was working as a paid lab assistant (before I got my first paycheck) I was particularly poor and would buy day old bread for $0.25 apiece and eat that with a large cup of water and Boone's Farm wine and that would be my dinner (why do I keep putting stuff in parenthesis?). Anyway that was a weird summer. I was splitting a one bedroom sublet with my friend Grant for $375/month total. Yeah...I was poor. That was also the summer my parents had this huge marriage-threatening argument so, while they were never particularly generous with the funds to begin with, I got like no financial help whatsoever. It was actually pretty liberating, to be living in a hell hole poor as dirt with a good friend, getting drunk every night on $1.75 bottle wine. Funny story...one time the power went out. My friend Grant is a huge video game fan - he used to play them until his fingers bled - so I always came home to find him playing some game. Well this one day I came home and he was sitting on the porch reading a book. So I was really confused. He told me the power was out. but it wasn't just out, it had been TURNED OFF. Except what was funny was that the guy we were subletting from was supposed to pay our electric bill. Interestingly, the other apartment in the house (the upstairs, basically) had power. Only our power was turned off. Eventually, we found out from our heroin addict house mate (yes, he was actually a heroin addict) that it we HE who did not pay the electric bill. So our heroin-addict housemate forgets to pay the freakin' electric bill and OUR power gets turned off. W...T...F. Anyhoo, we (the three of us) finally figured out how to get that bill paid and everything turned out ok. We actually got to be decent friends with the heroin-addict, who we eventually named Hoss. In conclusion, Jimmy John's rules.

Ted S.
Basically this place is a slightly cheaper subway alternative with some funny crap on the walls. Not a bad lunch option at all though with a good location on campus (I went to the one on South University) The bread seemed higher quality than Subway. I can also vouch for their motto of being crazy fast since they had my sandwich done before I could even get around the corner to pick it up after ordering.

L. H.
I don't know why I love Jimmy John's so much, I just do. I can totally relate on a rational level to people's complaints about their lack of menu variety and the corporate chainness of the place, but on an irrational level, I just don't care. Maybe it's the mayo. Or the bread. Maybe it's the tasty Provolone cheese. Maybe it's because I always get the #6 without all the weird green stuff on it. All I know is that I plunk down my $4.51 there a lot.

Freakin delicious! Jimmy Johns is one of the reasons I miss the Midwest! All of their Giant Club Sandwiches are very good! I especially like the Smoked Ham, the Country Club, and the Beach Club. Their club sandwiches makes me drool and their hearty, thick, perfectly moist bread makes my tummy oh so happy. Obviously, I skip their boring french bread. Their avocado spread always tastes fresh and its never too mushy! Even their mayo tastes better than at other places! The fact that they are open late night and that they deliver are definite advantages too! No sandwich shops in Cali deliver....boo hoo!

Generally great quick sandwich restaurant. Don't expect their "freaky fast" delivery any time on game day as they happen to be the only location in Ann Arbor which delivers. In any case, I'm satisfied with my order! Can't go wrong with the slim one.
(3)Gabe M.
I've never understood the appeal. The meat is thin, super processed slivers of tasteless protein, while the bread is whiter-than-white duck feeding fare. It's Ironic that most Jimmy Johns restaurants have the neon "Free Smells" signs glued to their windows, as the food is positively scentless. I mean, suspiciously so. They really only deserve one star, but I offer them two since their food is decidedly inoffensive and friendly to the stomach. They also deliver, which is useful if you're too drunk to drive or eat good food. Ordering is also fun, since the subs are given ridiculous, quasi-Italian names like "Vito" and "Pepe."
(2)Ivan Z.
Nothing 'gourmet' about this place. It used to be a reliable and quick place to find nourishment, until I discovered Amer's, which is about four times better and not a whole lot more expensive. I did still venture here occasionally, but it made me sick once and they kept screwing up my order. Haven't been back since.
(2)Hamzah M.
Why is this in the pizza section? As far as I know Jimmy John's is only deli sub sandwiches. Yelp you need to fix this little mistake
(4)Annette J.
I'm torn. I love Jimmy John's. It's probably one of my fave "fast food" options out there. The bread is a fluffy little rectangle of delight and totally makes the sammy for me. However this location? I can't. The staff is super nice. I've never had a bad experience. But the location is a nightmare. I mean, I guess if you're a student walking there from campus it'll be alright but driving? Good luck. The parking lot is terrifying. You know that scene in Austin Powers where he's trying to turn the little cart around in a narrow hallway? It's like that. Trying not to hit the other cars in the lot, or the building, and only being able to move an inch at a time. And then you finally get out and you realize that the little alley you were hoping to escape from? It's not an alley, it's a driveway to a house behind the restaurant. A bridge to nowhere. So then you have to do your little escape routine all over again to get to the point where you can run away down Packard. Awful. If you're on foot or not afraid to park on a side street and walk over there then it's not too bad. Because, I mean, the staff is great and the sandwiches are pretty good. But to me, having to park a block away totally negates the "fast food" moniker if you just want to get in and out. If you're like me then another location may be a better bet.
(2)Mike K.
I've ordered from here abut 50 times and only once was I not satisfied with the food.... Which the promptly replaced "freaky fast" I might add. The delivery drivers are always friendly. I have never been into the store so I cannot comment on that part of the business.
(4)MaryLiz S.
I have ordered from this Jimmy John's a few times. And I'd rate the sandwiches at 3~4 stars easily. But today I saw something that will make me think twice. A Jimmy John's driver ran a red light (a full second after the light for my lane turned green) and then proceeded to drive at least 15 mph over the speed limit. Hmmm. I don't want to support that type of behavior. So I am not sure if I'll order from them again in the future. Fast delivery is one thing, but unsafe driving is a completely different matter. Minus one star for the driving infractions. I don't need it *that* fast.
(2)Beck E.
It was late at night and my blood sugar was at an all-time low. I desperately needed something to eat and decided on Jimmy John's because they are always priding themselves on their fast delivery (and their white bread has got to have the highest glycemic index of any food product of our time or something). It took what felt like forever (actually 40 minutes) for them to make two standard sandwiches and for the delivery driver to drive like, 5 blocks. I probably should have just walked over and gotten take-out.
(2)Mei O.
I seriously don't know that the fuss about Jimmy Johns is. I would take Quiznos or Potbellies any day. They're big on being quick, but it can be very intimidating if you're there during slow times and there's 5 people making your one sandwich. It's ok, but nothing really sticks in my mind as being noteworthy.
(3)Dave Y.
i really just don't understand the appeal of jimmy john's. if you put some salt and pepper on cardboard it'd taste pretty much just like jimmy john's. why is this place so ubiquitous?
(2)Amy M.
Order: Delivery, Beach Club, Bag O Chips, Dr Pepper Pros: One star for speed (delivered in under 20 min during peak lunch!) One star for food: I get the beach club a lot and it is always tasty! One star for the delivery driver being super nice, and doing her best to resolve our issues (below) Cons: Minus half a star for forgetting my chips and a straw. Again. :( Minus half a star for telling me I owe them cash when I gave my credit card number over the phone. Minus half a star for them re-charging my credit card over the phone with the incorrect amount and having to run it for a THIRD time. (By all means, keep reading my credit card number out loud on the front porch for everyone to hear) Yet another half star down for telling me that they may come back later so I can sign the receipt. Seriously? By that point I wanted to torpedo the sandwich into the yard. But I was hungry and only my dog would have happily benefitted from that reaction. So I played it cool. It wasn't the delivery driver's fault. Anyway, JJ, I like you guys, and I'll probably even give you another chance, but please don't sacrifice quality for speed. I'd rather wait an extra 30 seconds for you to verify that everything is done correctly. 3/5=D-
(3)Nicholas M.
I'm pretty sure Jimmy John's has saved my life at least once, and I've probably eaten here close to 80 times. Wow, putting that in writing makes me feel like I need to diversify. I also keep pretty weird hours sometimes, and it's great have a place that will deliver at 3am. Good size subs that are consistently delicious and for some reason weirds me out less than Subway's meats. Their giant cookies are also incredible and I think unfortunately overlooked. This is my go to place when I want something fast that I know I'll enjoy, or I'm just really craving the taste of mayonnaise. It happens. Don't judge me with your judging eyes.
(4)Heather R.
The fastest sandwich you can buy. They're always there for me.
(4)Jackie R.
Minus 1 star because it's located in Ann Arbor! Just kidding ;) My husband went to school at U of M so we'd come to JJ sometimes for some good sandwiches. JJ is awesome because: 1) Consistency 2) Quality of Food 3) Selection 4) Cheap 5) Fast Service For college students this is wonderful and they have late hours (comes in handy after the bar). For anyone it's great because of all the reasons above. The bread is also very delicious...plus they give "free smells" :) You can't go wrong with JJ!
(4)Tony L.
Unbelievable that this one franchise refuses to include napkins with delivery orders when requested. Also delivery times vary from 6 minutes (good) to 28 minutes. Not reliable like the other JJ's. I've already complained to corporate. Management must go. Totally ignored complaints by coworkers and my complaints.
(1)Ellen C.
I would agree with previous posters that there's nothing INCREDIBLY about Jimmy John's, and the hype doesn't make a ton of sense. However, they do very speedily make a fairly tasty sandwich. And they're conveniently located right next door to my house (so maybe I should rate it more highly to draw you over to visit me, but I'll be truthful). I had a BLT sub this afternoon for lunch, and i enjoyed it. It didn't have the standard problem of way too much or way too little bacon, so points for that. The people didn't seem to think I was odd when I stared at the menu helplessly for a few minutes while trying to decide. I'll definitely end up going back, and if you have to stop and grab a quick lunch, this isn't a bad place to do it.
(3)Amy P.
I am not a sandwich gal, but this one was really good. When you walk in the smell of fresh baked bread wafts through the air...you order and by the time you pay your sandwich is ready. I had the beach club and it was great! Be sure to ask them to cut your sandwich in half, as it is hard to manuver. Reasonably priced, clean bathroom...good experience. Great place for a tight lunch break!
(4)Christine C.
Oh Jimmy Johns... How I miss thee!! There's just something about the bread. My favorites: The #5 and #1. Please come to NYC.
(5)C L.
Now.. I don't agree with what Jimmy John's is feeding America but they get 3 stars for delivering a specific product very well. The sandwich is as un-gourmet and preprocessed as it gets but sometimes one has a hankering for one the way one might crave cheese whiz or creamed corn (which is not often). The turkey sandwich comes on nutritionally lacking, plain, white bread. This is loaded with mayo and shredded iceberg lettuce. There is 1 type of cheese available. It tastes fine but I'd rather go to subways for something healthier with more variety.
(3)Matt B.
Please don't overemphasize how you put "REAL" mayonnaise on your damn sandwiches and then proudly display giant tubs of Hellman's mayo on the top shelf above your workstation; THEN proceed to slather one of the aforementioned tubs onto MY damned sandwich...yes, that is exactly what I wanted...a REAL mayonnaise club sandwich. oh I suppose somewhere in there was some avocado and turkey, but I'd be hard pressed to find it. YUK.
(1)Victor C.
PROS: 1. Quick. By the time you finish paying, you will probably have your sandwich in hand. 2. Good variety. Something for everyone, including vegetarians. Lots of meat combos. Tuna too. 3. Cheap. Can escape with sandwich, drink and chips for under $6. 4. Many locations nearby (South Univ, Packard, S. State) and open until 3am. CONS: 1. Similar to a Subway sandwich (similar bread, too much lettuce and not enough meat) or one you may be able to make yourself. 2. Tends to glop on the mayo. Even if you say "easy." 3. 8" sub may not be filling enough, so best to order Giant Club. RECOMMENDED: Any of the Giant Clubs or 8" if you want a light snack. AVOID: Plain Slims options. Too small, might as well bump up to 8". ATMOSPHERE: Largely take-out. But well-lit with lots of tables or counters to eat at. PRICE RANGE: around $3.50 for a sub BASED ON: 2 visits (2 people each time)
(2)Dave M.
There are something like 237 Jimmy John's sub shops scattered in Ann Arbor, but this is probably the one I visited the most. Jimmy John's is great because it is cheap , fast (they make a sub in under a minute, literally), and consistent. When I was a particularly poor undergrad (poor undergrad...it almost sounds like an oxymoron now that I am a grad student at Stanford) I used to by the salmi and capicola slim jim, which also contained swiss cheese (just those three items and bread...no topping!) and cost something like $2.25. Man those were the days. I remember the week after my sophomore year when I was working as a paid lab assistant (before I got my first paycheck) I was particularly poor and would buy day old bread for $0.25 apiece and eat that with a large cup of water and Boone's Farm wine and that would be my dinner (why do I keep putting stuff in parenthesis?). Anyway that was a weird summer. I was splitting a one bedroom sublet with my friend Grant for $375/month total. Yeah...I was poor. That was also the summer my parents had this huge marriage-threatening argument so, while they were never particularly generous with the funds to begin with, I got like no financial help whatsoever. It was actually pretty liberating, to be living in a hell hole poor as dirt with a good friend, getting drunk every night on $1.75 bottle wine. Funny story...one time the power went out. My friend Grant is a huge video game fan - he used to play them until his fingers bled - so I always came home to find him playing some game. Well this one day I came home and he was sitting on the porch reading a book. So I was really confused. He told me the power was out. but it wasn't just out, it had been TURNED OFF. Except what was funny was that the guy we were subletting from was supposed to pay our electric bill. Interestingly, the other apartment in the house (the upstairs, basically) had power. Only our power was turned off. Eventually, we found out from our heroin addict house mate (yes, he was actually a heroin addict) that it we HE who did not pay the electric bill. So our heroin-addict housemate forgets to pay the freakin' electric bill and OUR power gets turned off. W...T...F. Anyhoo, we (the three of us) finally figured out how to get that bill paid and everything turned out ok. We actually got to be decent friends with the heroin-addict, who we eventually named Hoss. In conclusion, Jimmy John's rules.
(5)Ted S.
Basically this place is a slightly cheaper subway alternative with some funny crap on the walls. Not a bad lunch option at all though with a good location on campus (I went to the one on South University) The bread seemed higher quality than Subway. I can also vouch for their motto of being crazy fast since they had my sandwich done before I could even get around the corner to pick it up after ordering.
(3)L. H.
I don't know why I love Jimmy John's so much, I just do. I can totally relate on a rational level to people's complaints about their lack of menu variety and the corporate chainness of the place, but on an irrational level, I just don't care. Maybe it's the mayo. Or the bread. Maybe it's the tasty Provolone cheese. Maybe it's because I always get the #6 without all the weird green stuff on it. All I know is that I plunk down my $4.51 there a lot.
(5)Arun C.
I have to agree with most of what Dave said. They make good sandwiches very quickly. I've got no stories about heroin addicted housemates however.
(4)Sarah P.
Freakin delicious! Jimmy Johns is one of the reasons I miss the Midwest! All of their Giant Club Sandwiches are very good! I especially like the Smoked Ham, the Country Club, and the Beach Club. Their club sandwiches makes me drool and their hearty, thick, perfectly moist bread makes my tummy oh so happy. Obviously, I skip their boring french bread. Their avocado spread always tastes fresh and its never too mushy! Even their mayo tastes better than at other places! The fact that they are open late night and that they deliver are definite advantages too! No sandwich shops in Cali deliver....boo hoo!
(4)Chitterne B.
Okay, let's be clear - I'm not giving Jimmy John's 5 stars (it's meat on bread, people); I'm giving THIS Jimmy John's 5 stars. +They have never taken more than 15 minutes to deliver (seriously!) +They always immediately answer calls from my cell phone number by addressing me by name and confirming by address (I think most Jimmy Johns have this feature, but not all really use it so well) +They are generous with avo spread +Maybe I'm crazy, but the 8-inch subs seem bigger than at the State Street location? In conclusion: start your apartment search in this delivery area ;)
