A colleague was talking about Jimmy Johns on Friday and had stated that they make a great Cheesesteak. So my ears perked and I went out on a quest today to find a Jimmy Johns.
First off, the map on their website is off. It had the location in the Sharon Corners shopping center but the store is not there, it's across Sharon Rd next to FedEx Office (formerly Kinkos) and next to the new Whole Foods store.
So as I enter the store, I realize this is a very tiny location for take out only. Everyone is crammed at the door looking at the menu trying to decide. No real organization to a line either.
I browse the menu and there are no cheesesteaks. Maybe my colleague had the wrong sub chain in mind. Ok so I go with the #5 Vito (An Italian Sub).
When I got home, I looked at the sandwich and felt cheated. The sandwich was all bread. So I opened up the sandwich to take a closer look. 3 small slices of tomato (see photo), meat slices so thin it was just barely passing for a slice rather than shaved and tons of lettuce. It was even lacking in oil and vinegar.
I guess for the price, I shouldn't expect much. The prices are reasonable. But if you're looking for a little substance to your sandwich, there are better sub places out there like Lenny's and Jersey Mikes.
And they don't sell cheesesteaks....Bummer.
