Dive-bar version of a sandwich shop, with the old school vibe to match. Good, albeit pretty greasy, food. Service was great.

Nothing outstanding but one of the best sandwich places in Greensboro. Has a long and comprehensive menu and speedy solid service.

I got the traffic jam, roast beef, turkey breast with russian dressing, and lettuce. The flavor was good, but very sloppy, the roll was soggy and not much of a sandwich for the price.

This place has no business being so good. The atmosphere makes it better. The staff is nice. I got my food quickly. They didn’t skimp on my veggies and look at the melty cheese! The onion rings were PERFECT which is why they aren’t pictured.

I went here for the first time last night and I was blown away. The cheesecake was the most delicious treat I've ever eaten and I will definitely be returning. I arrived a little after closing and I was still served by a very charismatic and commendable man. The sicilian jam sandwich and pasta salad were delicious and you cannot beat their cheesecake.

A Greensboro staple! Sicilian Jam has been my go to for YEARS!! Their curly fries are fab. Honestly over the years my family and I have probably had every item on the menu and smashed them all! The people are super chill also!

We had the ultimate chicken and cheese and French dip sandwiches. Both were great! The fries are good! The fries could use a seasoning, but that's just personal preference.

First time customer. OrderedChicken and pasta salad to go.Got back to work. I think this is chicken. Smells like fish. Pasta salad turned out to be a cup of chilli. My food was not bagged And was given no silverware.Probably won't be back. Food and service 1 star
Every sandwich and side is perfect. Hot turkey, roast beef, steak, and Rueben’s hit the spot on cold days and even those that aren’t. Creative and delicious sides like potato and pasta salad with broccoli. Plus an environment that calls for you to sit back and enjoy. I never miss a chance to grab a bite and I can’t thank the staff the staff enough. Settled nicely in beautiful guilford college. I can’t recommend this establishment enough. I will be a Parton as often as I can and tell anyone looking for good sandwiches to give it a try. Hope you enjoy

This is one of those few oddball places that has been around Greensboro longer than I have, but yet, I had somehow never stopped in until recently. It wasn't our original destination, the place we tried to go was not open on Mondays, but Jam's was right there and I said let's give it a shot. While it seems from other reviews they may have some consistency issues, our visit was great! I was in the mood for hot dogs, and not having any idea how theirs were, I went for a pair all the way with hot chips. The price was very reasonable, and when the basket came out, it was stuffed with two loaded dogs and overflowing with crispy chips. Good sign for sure. The hot dogs themselves were a couple of the most plump franks I have seen, and they had a nice flavor to them. The chili was meaty, maybe too much so for many, but I felt it balanced really well with the slaw, onions, and mustard. The only way these could have been better would be a buttered and grilled bun, overall, I was quite happy. My chips were hot and crispy top to bottom, and the ranch was great. Hard for me to complain at all. The inside of this place is definitely retro. Clean just dated, but honestly, it's totally fine with the vibe they are going for, and I'm sure a renovation would require raising prices. I say keep it how it is, and continue to provide solid food. I'll be curious to see how it is going forward, but on a first visit, I was very happy and will return!

I ordered a hot dog with meat sauce, mustard, slaw, chili, relish and onion; with hot chips as the side. My coworker went to pick up our order, and brought it back to my work for our lunch. The hot dog had barely any of the condiments. The hot chips were cold, limp, and very soggy - not crisp at all. All in all, a very disappointing lunch. I will not be ordering from here again.

This local family sandwich shop is a Greensboro staple! Great place to eat lunch, get takeout, meet up with friends! Sit and eat with the locals. The daily specials are always delicious! Fresh meats, sliced as you order. Service is friendly and welcoming. Counter ordering.

I love Jam's! It's such a staple in Greensboro and the food is consistently delicious. They have SO many options, something for everyone! I've never had a bad meal here. It's counter style ordering and then they call your name to pick up: easy, fast and the food is always fresh and hot. Prices are pretty good, of course they have risen with the rise of everything else, but still reasonable and good portions. The atmosphere has remained the same for years with vintage decor and tables. I miss the Martinsville Road location as it was much closer to my house, but this one is worth the special trip! I stopped in on a Saturday around lunch. It was pretty dead in there which makes me nervous, I hope it doesn't close down! Maybe it was the weather or due to college football. I imagine weekdays are busier. I had the Italian Sub, hot, with pasta salad. Very good! Perfect sandwich. My mom ordered the Grilled Chicken Pita, my usual order. It's always fresh and chock full of perfectly seasoned chicken/veggies. Their curly fries are also the best in town. Jam's is on rotation in my house and you should add it to your list, too!
