I was so excited when a Jimmy Johns finally opened in Uptown. I was desperately in need of a new quick lunch place near my office, and Jimmy Johns was one of my top lunch spots when I lived in Chicago. I think the bread is what makes these sandwiches better than others. I usually get the No. 6 vegetarian, which comes with provolone, cucumbers, sprouts and avocado.
They have really quick service, which is great when you're in a hurry. Even their delivery is speedy. They have bike messengers who deliver the takeout orders and they usually arrive about 10 minutes after I order by phone. The only downside is that there aren't tables there. You pretty much have to take the food to go.
