    “We went in on Labor Day and there was only one worker working. He apologized for our wait, which honestly wasn’t that bad. He still seemed calm cool collected about the whole thing and was extremely nice to us. He also took his time making our sandwiches and didn’t seem rushed when he could’ve easily felt that way. I give this worker props because he had a steady flow of people walking in the door where he never got a second to himself the entire time we were inside eating there, but he did a great job the entire time!! he definitely needs recognition for it.”

Our order was delivered quickly and accurately though we had to remind the window about getting a cup of ice. The food -- both a sandwich and a wrap -- were very good. We had an $8 bill. It was a good Jimmy John's experience.”
