Jimmy Johns' sandwiches taste exactly like the sandwiches I used to make at home for my work lunch back when I got up more than ten minutes before I needed to leave the house (so, the first week of my first job, then) and had done reasonable food shopping... and, weirdly, this was back in the UK. They're also just like the sandwiches my mum makes (sandwich-making is genetic, apparently). I think it's the Hellman's mayonnaise.
As lunches downtown go, they are tasty and good value, and the shops themselves are all pretty nice with a good vibe. Here, they were super humanly fast at preparing the sandwiches. SUPER HUMANLY - I hadn't even paid and they were ready. Not even congealed McD's crap made 5 hours prior turns up that quickly. And the super humans were friendly too (how they had time to even say 'mayonnaise?' I don't know).
But, I can't help but only give four stars. They are good sandwiches, but I can't help thinking the whole time... I could make this... and it would be smaller.. but I'm going to eat it all anyway... and I know it's not good for me...
Jimmy Johns: good for mayonnaise, bad for fiscal and calorific guilt.
I was temping nearby today, and was overjoyed I got to visit my favorite Jimmy John's location for lunch - hell, I haven't been to this location in about 9 months!
I stand by my previous review that this is BY FAR the best Jimmy John's in the city. The employees are fantastic, my sandwich was ready a nanosecond after I ordered it, said sandwich was the most perfect sandwich in the universe, and the music in this place is phenomenal. It all adds up for the perfect way to re-energize yourself at lunch.
I still want to clone this location, because as much as I love Jimmy John's most of the other locations are the suck. The staff at this place should be showing the others how it's done. And then Jimmy John's would take over the world, and I would live happily ever after...

So, I decided to write a review for Jimmy John's for one reason, and one reason only, THE TUNA!
Now, if you're anything like me, you're quite afraid to purchase/try tuna from any place other than your mom's kitchen (or your own for that matter). However, on one particular day, when I was in Milwaukee for work, I decided to try, Jimmy John's Tuna because I am friggin tired of the Turkey Tom with Provolone.
So, that tuna in Milwaukee was quite yummy. Just plain ol delicious. So, on another occasion, hungry and still friggin tired of the Turkey Tom with Provolone, I decided to eat this tuna again. Once again, it was yummy. What I enjoy about Jimmy John's tuna is it's not too mayonnaise-y. I mean, I really hate the stuff. Have you ever seen the movie, "Undercover Brother"? Well, that's how I feel about mayonnaise. It's just yucky. So, instead of mayo with Tuna like others make it (subway), it's tuna with mayo, and with the cheese, lettuce and tomato, it's like the mayo isn't there.
Quite lovely. Eat Jimmy John's Tuna, especially if you're tired of the Turkey Tom with Provolone!
Decent sandwiches. Nice fluffy bread. Friendly service at this location.
But when it comes to the battle of the Chicago sandwich chains I am devoted to Potbelly still. Gotta love the cheeky "Free Smells" signage of Jimmy John's, but I'm partial to the Italian Night Club sandwich.
Probably one of my favorite places to grab a sandwich in the loop! I especially love it when the bread is fresh out of the oven. At times, I think I come for the bread alone (which you can buy for 50 cents).
The sandwiches always taste fresh and are made to order.
Lively staff who greet you upon entering.
Washington is currently under construction, but when it's not, they have a few tables outside when it's nice.
Prices were raised recently, I think it's almost $5 now for a sandwich.
Great tip: for those counting calories and fat (not me!), you can go onto JJ's website and see how adding or taking away an ingredient will effect the numbers.
Huge fan of JJ's ever since Subway made me sick *gags*
Well living in the burbs and now working downtown I have noticed all types of price differences....I mean come on 6.00 for one sandwich without any mayo or anything on it?! Are you kidding me, I mean in the West they are only 3.99 at the same chain!
I swear its not JJ's that I am faulting but moreso the Loop.....Blame the LOOP for those three stars dammit
I'm normally a fan of JJ's--great bread, fresh ingredients, quick service, particularly at this location. And I love that they have spicy chips.
But the extra charge for hot peppers has got to go. Today I paid $ .45 for 3 (yes, 3) peppers. that's 15 cents a pepper!
Potbelly's and Subway add them at no charge--and they both have giardineira, which is a staple for me.
I'll have to ask for them on the side next time--maybe I'll get more. Will keep you posted.
Slammin' fast service, awesome Gargantuan Unwhich!!!
Vito Sandwich. 'Nuff said.
A great no-nonsense decent sandwich and super fast! I know JJ is always fast, but this location is nuts, EVERY TIME I order it is done by the time I put my change back in my wallet... it blows my mind. The bread is tasty as ever too.
Excellent sandwich here - really quick, and totally fresh and healthy to boot. Had a sandwich with turkey breast, veggies, no mayo. Husband had one with tuna. Both were excellent, particulalry the bread which was fresh and tasty. I ordered a pickle too, freaking huge. Love pickles.
Good place to grab a sandwich. Good bread and good ingredients. They make a good classic sub sandwich. It's not high end like goodwins or any of the other upper end cafe's in the loop, but its good and fast, and beats the hell out of Subway any day.
Why is this location so different than the rest??? Simply amazing everytime! This jimmy john's is so fast and always has great bread! I work all over the Loop and have come across some crummy jimmy john's locations like 180 N. LaSalle and 205 W. Monroe! Absolutely terrible service and the bread was like a cracker! From top to bottom, this location is clean, the staff is friendly AND knowledgable but most importantly I get my order before I can get to the end of the counter!
Delivery is incredibly fast too! Last week, I ordered a couple sandwiches and chips for delivery and the guy was in the lobby before I could get my co-worker's money!
