This Jimmy John's is pretty typical of the others -- fast, fresh production of gourmet-style sandwiches. It meets the high standard, that's for sure, and it's a good location uptown to cater to the busy business lunch crowd.
Just a couple of things to keep in mind before you go there:
*Parking can be tough, unless you're fortunate to find a meter nearby on either 3rd Street or Tryon. It can be near impossible when there's an event going on. Hopefully, you're already uptown and can walk there easily.
*There's no dining area there. That's not a problem if the weather is OK, because you can simply find a spot to sit outside across the street at the Wachovia outdoor plaza.
*It closes pretty darn early, at 7 p.m. Unlike some similar fast-food eateries in the area, such as the Pita Pit, it's not open late. They kind of concede to the fancier dine-in restaurants on the block.
*The delivery area is pretty limited. They won't go anywhere across I-277 to bike over your sandwiches. The best bet for quick service is to order ahead, either online or on the phone.
