Jimmy John's in Boise

“Very good food prepared properly! Employees showed particular interest in my pleasant experience in every area. Whether that was by actively cleaning to maintain a proper appearance or providing me with napkins I went looking for. It was a 10/10 experience. Honorable mentions go Derek and Richard for making it outstanding!“

“As Muslims, we follow dietary guidelines that require us to eat Halal — which means food that is permissible according to Islam. This includes seafood like fish without claws, such as tuna, which we can enjoy freely. That’s why we visited Jimmy John’s to try their Tuna Fish sandwich, and we were not disappointed!

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. When we mentioned that we eat only Halal and were here specifically for the Tuna sandwich, they were genuinely curious and asked what Halal means. We appreciated that openness, and explained that Halal not only refers to the type of food but also how the animal is treated — it should be raised naturally and slaughtered humanely, with care and respect.

It was a great experience all around — the sandwich was fresh and tasty, and the team made us feel heard and respected. It’s small gestures like this that build bridges between communities. We’ll definitely be returning for more!“

“Fairly quick in store service. Just had an issue with all the things that were requested to be left off the sandwich added back onto the sandwich. Unfortunately with a picky eater, I wish I'd checked before I left as they were upset and didn't want to eat it. Usually I love Jimmy John's but I was a little disappointed this time.“

“There’s something oddly satisfying about Jimmy John’s. It’s not trying to be fancy—it just nails the basics every single time. Fresh bread with that perfect chew, crisp lettuce, and meats that don’t taste like they’ve been sitting out all day. I usually walk in, blink, and my sandwich is already bagged. The speed is insane, but somehow they don’t mess it up. It’s my no-brainer lunch spot when I want real food fast, without the grease. Simple, solid, and weirdly addictive.“

“Very clean, very fast. And definitely dig the loud music. Customer service was alright.

Parking: Busy place on a small lot so be weary of the hangry customers trying to get to the drive thru line as you're backing out to leave.“

“I have stopped by to grab my meal for the night. The most recent order, however, is the most important.
I recently ordered a delivery to my home. I ordered on the app and after all said and done, ready and waiting.. I found out that the tip I had thought for sure was in the total for Jacob my delivery driver was not. I didn't have the money on me to give you him but I wanted him to know how much I appreciated his kindness about the whole situation so I called the store (Vista location). I wanted to make it right. We were able to get things worked out. These guys were great! And I hands down respect our hard working food industry people. Thank you for being so kind when I thought I couldn't show my own kindness through gratuity. Great store!“

“Must politics permeate every facet of society, including sandwich shops? In this day and age? Yes. Sadly, yes it does find its way onto our trays, as ever-present actually than a bag of Fritos (or was it Cheetos?)

Friends, it might be true that JJ ownership is marred by association with authoritarian demi-gods. That might be so. But consider the BRIGHT side of what such inclination brings: a complete, unconditional, worship of quality meats, cheeses and breads. Any deviation, any liberties taken, is SQUASHED as punishable dissent. There are JJ STANDARDS and they must be upheld at all costs.

We might be living in a time of exaggerated fears, where STATES OF EMERGENCY are called by our dear leaders as one might order a pizza. The key is this: don’t order a pizza—order a sandwich from Jimmy John’s on State Street. There are many types of excellent meats, cheeses, and breads, combined in a most excellent manner. The staff is so adept and likable, you’d think they were rewarded by a livable wage!
