| - I admit...I'm biased. Many years ago, in college, I worked at a Jimmy John's (not this one). But, compared to your usual sub joint, JJ's is not that bad at all. They are actually pretty darn good.
The bread, while shipped to the stores frozen, is baked constantly throughout the day, and is far better than the likes of Subway or Quiznos. The meat is sliced throughout the day (I know because I did it), and the tuna is made daily. The pickles are awesome, and are worth the extra 75 cents or whatever the hell they charge. I can't rightfully suggest a JJ's over a good local spot, but if you want something good, and you want it quick, JJ's is just fine. Honest. I would not suggest a place that was dirty or otherwise lame. I worked at one for six months and will still gladly stop at any JJ's I come across...if you have worked in food service before you know that means something.
As far as this location goes, I have no complaints, other than that Dave's is right across the street and may be more worthy of your money. But if you are home in the area, and really...hungry but not in the mood to leave the house, call JJ's.
Oh yea...the big secret is "yesterday's bread"...gross, right? No...you can get a loaf of bread from the night before for around 75 cents (same as a pickle? Curse you, fickle memory), but if you are on a strict budget (like any real college student not coasting on daddy's money), it can go a long way with a little PB&J (so long as you toast it). They don't really advertise this, but it'll be on the counter when you walk in.
