This store stays busy enough that they don't need to care too much about individual customers.. there are always more. Manager is not always honest.
If you order ahead for 12:30 they will sometimes send it at 11:45. Whatever, you got your food, didn't you?

The owner does not seem to mind a modicum of mendacity or a wee bit of incompetence on delivery dispatch so long as cash flow remains positive.

Why do they even have instructions on the website if they're not going to follow through with them? Sandwiches never cut in half when instructed, no extra mayo packets, last time they forgot the cookie, food is still good and affordable, I'll give it that.

I really enjoyed going here. I actually attend this place quite often probably about four times a week because I’m out here in Texas traveling and working. The staff is really good. Fresh sandwiches every time never fails. Highly recommend.

I should have taken the ratings more seriously. It was dead with no one else in the place at lunch. I got a simple BLT add cheese and avocado. I didn't even get the cheese and could not go back to get it fixed. Don't waste your time at this location. I was pregnant and starving and never had this issue with other locations so I stopped while out running errands.

I’m come to this location at least twice or three times a week and order a turkey tom meal ease mustard and the staff always drown my sandwich in mustard who wants a soggy sandwich.. I only come here because I work near by but I’m tired of my order being made horribly

This is a classic Jimmy John’s experience where you can order sandwiches to your delight. It’s actually not as busy as other locations when I’ve visited, which is a positive.If you don’t know what a sandwich is, let me tell you.Ah, the noble sandwich, a culinary marvel birthed from the divine inspiration of necessity, convenience, and perhaps a dash of laziness. Picture, if you will, two slices of bread, or for the more adventurous, a single, undivided loaf, sacrilegiously cleaved to accommodate fillings of varying degrees of palatability.Now, imagine these slices or loaf—symbols of unity and solidarity in the bread world—splayed open like a codex, ready to receive their sacred cargo. Herein lies the magic of the sandwich: the infinite possibilities, the tantalizing combinations, the audacious juxtapositions that only a mind unhinged by hunger could conceive.First, let us pay homage to the foundational layer—the bread. Whether it be white, wheat, rye, or some avant-garde concoction infused with the essence of quinoa and chia seeds, the bread serves as both vessel and barrier, containing the chaos within while shielding delicate hands from the impending mess. The bread used at Jimmy John’s is that of legends, since it is addicting and likely uses candy levels of sugar but goodness it’s delicious.Now, onto the fillings, those curious amalgamations of disparate ingredients thrown together in a reckless dance of flavor. From the humble ham and cheese to the more exotic fusion of falafel and kimchi, the sandwich is a canvas upon which culinary dreams are painted, often with the finesse of a toddler wielding finger paints.But wait, dear sandwich connoisseur, for we have not yet delved into the realm of condiments. Oh, the condiments! Those viscous, tangy, sometimes gelatinous substances that elevate the mundane to the sublime. From the classic trio of mayo, mustard, and ketchup to the more esoteric realms of aioli, pesto, and sriracha, the condiment selection is a veritable minefield of potential regrets and gastrointestinal distress.And let us not forget the accoutrements, those garnishes and embellishments that add that final flourish of absurdity to an already cacophonous symphony of flavors. From the obligatory lettuce and tomato to the more avant-garde additions of pickled ginger and crushed Doritos, the possibilities are limited only by one's imagination (and perhaps the contents of one's pantry).The sandwich is not merely a meal, but a metaphor for life itself—a chaotic jumble of disparate elements held together by the fragile threads of bread and ambition. So go forth, dear gastronomic adventurer, and build thyself a sandwich worthy of the annals of culinary history. Or, you know, just slap some peanut butter and jelly between two slices of Wonder Bread and call it a day. Jimmy John’s is a great establishment where you can enjoy, create, and craft sandwiches to your delight.

I ordered a Beach Club sandwich on UberEats from this location and didn’t even get 2 full slices of meat. This is a regular adult sandwich.

Horrible. We waited for 40 mins for our order and we were next door. We can't leave my office as we were short-staffed. I called and was told they were refunding me and 15 days later am yet to get it. I've called their 1-800 number and they reached out to the owner twice and still no response. The lack of attention and care to customers is awful. I've ordered from other JJ's and this location is an embarassment to the company. Just WOW

Trevon took my order on a Wednesday during lunch hour. Repeated my order 2 times and still didn’t get the Jimmy Peppers I asked for! Employees need to get off their phones and pay attention to their customers..especially after waiting in line for 5+ minutes.

Employee didn’t lock the bathroom door so I accidentally walked in on him, he didn’t wash his hands and peed all over the seat. Very unprofessional.
