I Just Don't Get it. There has been so much hype about this place, I was really looking forward to trying it.
I was shopping at a nearby store when a Jimmy Johns delivery person dropped a lunch off for the woman at the register. The woman said she had ordered from them every day since they opened and she was really excited because she rarely had time to leave for lunch.
I drove straight over to see what ll the fuss was about. I ordered a sandwich and was surprised to find it wrapped and waiting at the other end of the counter before I had time to put my credit card away. I unwrapped the speedy sandwich, eager to bite into the bread I had heard so much about. Sadly it was dry and disappointing. It might have been wrapped at warp speed but it definitely wasn't fresh. I went back to the counter to see if there was anything they could do to help and they handed me a packet of mayo.
During the time it took me to choke down my sad sandwich, I was the only person seated in the place. The tables and floors in the dining area were really dirty. Crumbs and garbage on the floors and tables, but no one came out from behind the counter to clean up the mess. There was one customer who came in for take out while I was there.
Maybe that is the attraction. If you want take out or can't leave work and need delivery this probably beats starvation but not by much. The quality and service I have gotten at Subway is much better.
I am hoping that maybe they were just working out the kinks of opening a new location. I have never been to a Jimmy Johns before but if this is what its like, I wouldn't bother.
