“Made the way I would make it.”

Dante M.
1/25/22

I went the other day 1/20/22 to the location at 6402 FM 1488 Rd. Store #4279 The Woodlands, Texas. I would be giving them a 5 star if the staff would have been nice. The Gargantuan had everything that is was suppose to and very nicely distributed. This truly is the first time I received a sandwich made so nicely. My check # was 67, so whoever made it should get a pat on the back or a high five. As for the friendly/nice, well I was not greeted at all and I asked where the orders are he just pointed to the wall. He was not working with another customer. Just being a little friendly would have been nice. However the sandwich was great and I recommend the Jimmy Johns over subway.

“Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti Michigan doesn't know the store's address. Customer service is worthless.”

I received a voicemail yesterday for an interview today at 1:00. I called back and left a message asking for the address. The person texted me the address as 537 Broadway. I showed up to Broadway St and found there is no such address. I called customer service and I was told they couldn't do anything. I asked to speak to a supervisor. She was incompetent. She couldn't understand why I was upset when I was given the wrong address. Even though it was 10 miles from the actual store. I mentioned that I filled out an online complaint. She looked it up and asked my name. When she opened the complaint she told me that's not how my name is pronounced! Is she that stupid to tell someone they don't know how to pronounce their own name?!

Subway is better. There are more options at subway and the quality of the bread is better. Do better. It's good though. Also the place smells better

Placed a three sandwich online order at 12:27. First phone call at 1:00 indicated the driver was on the way with the order. We live less than 2 blocks away from the store! Second call was answered with a brusque brush off. "It's on the way. Oh, and there was another drop off." Sandwich arrived at 1:45. Still no explanation what happened. Second response was discourteous and dismissive. We will stick with Jersey Mike's.

Despite enjoying a cold cut every once and a while I find myself continually displeased with Jimmy John's. Ranges from generally terrible bread, missing condiments, and adding mayonnaise or oil when requested otherwise. I'm done giving them second chances.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this business terrible

This place is disgusting that it is still on business. The original owner is an animal killer who kills for fun and fun alone. From whales, bears, rhinos, etc he's a slob. How could any human even walk in one of these places knowing this? His daddy gave him his start up money and now he has sold the company to travel around on his yacht killing for sport. He's a disgusting man with serious mental issues.

Ordered 2 sandwich combos in store on Indian River Rd. In Virginia Beach, Va. In store menu price was 10.50 for each combo. After the cashier rang me up the total came to 28.43. When I asked about the discrepancy in the price she acted very rude, and as if how dare I question the price. Another worker explained that the menu prices have gone up twice and they have not had a chance to update the menu. Fine. It would only be fair to let the customer know this when placing an order instead of acting like I was a problem, and had no business questioning the price!

Went to the newer location in river oaks drive. Don't go here very often but decided to treat myself after a long weekend of work. Ordered a turkey, cheese and bacon large sandwich at a cost of $19.08. Wow but don't mind paying that for a really good sandwich. However when I got sandwich home, there was only 2 slices of turkey. What?! Absolutely ridiculous! For what u got, should've only cost at least half that. Will not be going back and will tell my friends my experience. So so disappointed

Only 1/2 my order was delivered. Driver promised to come back with missing items, but we never saw him again. We called the store after an hour and they decided to just refund us instead. Said it would take 2-3 days to hit the card. It has been 10 days and we are still waiting for our refund.

I Purchased my 1st Jimmy John sandwich today at the pass road store.
Very, very disappointed when I got home and open my sandwich.
I specifically asked them for lettuce tomato and a little bit onion and salt and pepper. They told me salt and pepper would be put in the bag separately which they did not do. As you can see there's no tomatoes,no onion and the lettuce is extremely sparse and it's saturated with mayonnaise. I cannot wait until Jersey Mike's comes in the area.

I had wonderful service from our New Albany, OH Jimmy John's today. I placed my order online and accidentally marked pickup instead of delivery. I realized this after checking my email when my food had not arrived at work. I called the store and the manager was so nice. He not only said they would deliver, but made my sandwich fresh instead of the one that had been waiting for pickup. Even added a cookie to my order! Above and beyond service, and the food was as good as expected!

I went in to the store in Muncie on Ball State campus and none of staff was doing anything they all were just standing around and mingling and instead of doing their job they viewed their personal amusement more important it is ridiculous and very unprofessional. I personally work in food and deal with customer services so I take these acts very serious and I understand when it feels like there is nothing to do but there is always something to do. I seen some woman's foot on the counter just talking away with a fellow employee which it is fine to talk with you're colleagues and I very much encourage it but you should never do the things these people did when there is a customer in the store. Not to mention that I overheard one of the employees talking about how their general manager comes to work drunk and that is not okay. All in all I am very unsatisfied about the entire experience I walked out and didn't even purchase anything.

This was my first time ordering food through delivery. Lunch was delivered to another Suite in the same commercial complex. I searched around within my office suite for my lunch. A lady was searching who was Candy; we eventually found each other. My sandwich bread was hard when I received it; however the chips and bottle of water was fine. I didn't receive a text message or email of final delivery. I thanked the lady for searching for me. I tipped them in advance too! My first and last doing this.:-(:-(

We purchased two sandwiches at the Venice location, mine was a Italian sub. It was the worst sub I ever had. The meat had no flavor, they put mayonnaise on it when asked not to. The toppings consisted of lettuce, tomato, and onion. I will never go there again nor would I feed this to my dog.

They are absolutely amazing! They always get my rather complicated order correct! I have been to several stores and none of the others even came close! There staff are super friendly and extremely polite! I will be coming back to this location even though there is another store that is closer to me!

Visited on 7/15/23 to store on 8725 Sheridan blvd #8 colorado, manager, (did not get a name as she refused), was short, quite large, colorado and rounded, had black hair, and refused to give a copy of the receipt or refund when her employee made incorrect order. When I brought out my phone that's when she gave me the copy. When I turned, she, the manager, threw liquid (soda or juice) at my back hitting me.

Tip for consumers:
Absolutely horrid manager, do not go, she will physically assault and attack you.

Well, we ordered our food tonight at 7:30. It wasn't delivered after the point. The building was closed. We had to knock on the window just to get them to refund the money. If it's kind of funny like I don't know what's going on, man. But you all aint freaky fast anymore. You're sure freaky, slow.

Again, ordered Jimmy John's on the realize that you no longer have drivers that it's through DoorDash ordered. My food at like 730 and it still wasn't here. When up there and caught the manager before he left, you're failing partnering with DoorDash.

The meat is tasteless unless you like salty and watery. The wheat bread is not healthier than the French. Only one cheese with a bland taste? No hot sandwiches or even toasted! Just not worth it. Managers are often too young and immature to run a store the right way. Owners don't care as long as they are making money. Go anywhere else for better quality, service, and value. I would show receipt if I didn't throw it away. My review is for the Louisville, Ky location, Westport store.

I highly recommend picking a different Jimmy Johns if you would like your order within a reasonable time!
I ordered 1 sandwich at 6:11 PM and by 6:56 I checked and my order had not even gone out for delivery! So much for their bragging on how fast they are! Probably better to use Subway, They got here in 21 minutes!

They have made ordering such a convenience. You log on, place your order, and it's either ready to be picked up or delivered during the time frame specified... usually. I recently ran into one weird issue, their system automatically assigned a time to my order which I didn't select. I only noticed it after I got my confirmation email. I called the store and had them adjust the timing, but I'm just glad I caught it otherwise I'd have been waiting almost 2 hours for my sub.

JJ's needs to get a new Marketing Director! They think it's cute or acceptable to show an actor punching a hole in people's parked car tires to flatten them. Whose moron idea was this? There is enough mischief & crime in America without this really BAD example. No excuse for decision makers to allow this to air. Instead, they should be creating ads with a positive experience for their food.

Ordered to-go via the mobile app and purchased a pickle, cut in half, with my sandwich. When I got back to my office, I discovered the pickle was rotten and there was a huge dead pickle worm inside it, leaving a trail of excrement behind it. And unlike finding the prize at the bottom of my tequila bottle, this grossed me out. Clearly, anyone preparing food would have noticed it and tossed it aside before serving, right? Wrong. Then, to add insult to injury, I contacted the store and they said to contact main customer service, which I did; sent 2 emails with no response. I guess you could say I'm in a "pickle," because I'm at least due a refund, but also waiting for anyone with a pulse, unlike this little guy, to respond to my complaint. Oh and apparently, pickle worms are poisonous so, unless there's a secret pickle worm conspiracy afoot, I guess JJ feels I should be grateful I'm still alive, or sick, or maybe grossed-out... okay not sick but still grossed out. #pickleworm

Although they have said my area is out of their delivery area, I see them delivering near and beyond my house on a daily basis. In response to my original post, the "manager" says the employee that tried to get me to pay for his flat tire was fired. However, how did the manager know who to fire when I never identified the employee or even the employees gender. Sure the sandwiches are great, but their customer service and professionalism is terrible.

Since the implementation of "rewards program" the service has slowed down considerably. I suggest you figure out a quicker method (swipe?) to get customer phone numbers through the drive up. I frequent Jimmy's quite a bit, and nearly every time I have to repeat my order 2-3 times, so I have to wonder if your speaker system needs improvement, or employees need to wear headsets?

I ordered, for the first time, "The Veggie" because I love avocado. You could not taste any avocado. I found a sliver of avocado spread the size of a quarter in between the slices of cheese. Disappointing. Hence, I took one star. Other than that, as a veggie sandwich, it was very good. The lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and cheese were fresh. Delivery was spot on and quick. I biggest fear was that they would forget to leave mayo off, but they remembered! Jimmy John's, if you advertise avocado spread, at least put enough so we can taste that it is there!
